I self hosted many websites for about 20 years, but sadly I had to take it all down this year. In the process of moving to another state. Also going to really miss my 1gbps unlimited fiber connection.
I hosted my websites from windows server 2003, 2008, virtual machines, Linux, and other ways. It was fun times. I have very good up time using 2 servers and UPS battery backups.
That might be the other one I run, I forget because it’s on my server as a virtual machine (rtx 3080 pass through), but I haven’t used it in a long time.
I self host several free AI models, one of them I run using a program called “gpt4all” that lets you run several models locally.
I did not know you can disable the map, I will need to do that.
I only used the map once to see which photos may have accidentally had GPS Embedded, but turns out it was only the photos that other people took and sent me. lol
Can I just block the 3rd party company URL on my router?
I have quite a large game collection 8200 games (6600 physical games) and the cutoff for me was Covid. The prices all went crazy high. The only reason I have such a huge collection is because I love to find bargains like $1 per game. Another thing is most people now have smart phones and look up prices at yard sales and thrift stores. This means less people selling for cheap but also more flippers hunting for deals to resell.
I still buy games, but it’s way less often than before 2020.
I run mint on a ideapad flex and it’s been great. Touch screen works, speakers, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, gaming, etc all good. I got the laptop cheap with a broken screen, I replaced the screen and added a bigger NVMe and it’s been great.
