I like self hosting but have not yet gotten a hosting service to stick to so I have to go through the whole reinstall process every time I switch operating systems. Yes, I run my apps on my PC. So I spent most of the past week setting up some applications. I set up Navidrome for my music server, Firefly III for financial management and Jellyfin for managing my movies and tv shows collection. I also played around some with Snapcast but then learnt how much I’d have to read before I’d be able to use it like a craftsman. So I dropped it.

Last week I decided I’d be going on an AI fast. Listed what services AI was providing me with then tried to get alt providers. For the mindless AI usage, I think the underlying cause was boredom, then outright addiction to the solution. I chose to use that time for a better addiction. An addiction to reading tech blogs. I’ve heard about Hacker News before but I’d never read much from the website. Well I discovered its way more than I thought. Which wasn’t much really. But that changed this week.

I find I always have a whole lot to talk about at the end of every week. And that most of it is from the tech space. I attend this Software Club meeting every Thursday where I try to use some of that time to talk about the latest developments with people who get it. We exchange opinions on things we’re building. You know how that is. So I was like, how about I create something here that’ll be an outlet for that? So I did. Like many things I’ve started, I can’t be sure this will last. But I won’t try to preemptively kill it either. May the Force be with it. This week, I’m shipping the skeleton and letting the structure emerge naturally as I pump in more episodes. My consumption is personal, so what I include might skew toward my interests. Beware :)
