I really hope Artcraft is a pisstake. I have hope that it is a performance art project that makes a statement on AI use in art and the current copyright laws. Otherwise, it is just another slop project that takes attention away from real open source projects like GIMP and Inkscape.

...and a worst case scenario could be action against this "Artcraft Suite" setting a precedence for laws targeting open source projects.

No, Dr. Pepper just comes in the can.

I hear ya. My hosting provider is crap too.

Hey, I'm glad you said that! You're right, we are just arguing semantics. We both agree that this hobby/job is something important

UN is going to "manage the transition" - like it's some fucking destiny to implement AI and destroy the earth with yet another environmental catastrophe... uh...shit

something...something...guillotines...luddites...working class solidarity. The transformation will happen in the destruction of corporate AI and the systems that allow the rich to control the working class. Fuck the UN "managing" the implementation of corporate AI.

Working class solidarity should be the focus. We should preferably do this before the bots get autonomously controlled opposable thumbs.

Ooooooo. I like it.

Sounds like a solid theory. Most are probably Jellyfin servers, but "I have a Jellyfin Guy" doesn't have the same ring.

I agree, but Is it your hardware? Does an outside company own your hardware? Did you set up your own hardware that you control as your own (self) place of hosting? Do you maintain all of that hardware or does an outside company maintain that? Can a company arbitrarily shut down your host like what happened in OPs case?

Self-hosting is my choice to use my own hardware to (self) host. I am wanting to slowly move other stuff from hosting providers and self-host it on my own hardware.

I agree with all your statements except for the last sentence, because I use those same arguments to judge whether or not to host at home (self) or host externally.

This idea of it not being self hosted because it’s on somebody else’s computer is just weird.

If OP was self-hosting they wouldn't have had a problem with their hosting provider.

I thought my post did a better job of virtue signaling. This one seemed to lack the venom and vigor of contrarian support for the opposing opinion.

I was just looking at NVME and RAM prices. Buying those things is a nightmare. I haven't found any larger storage NVME lately but I was given some nice 8TB hdds for media and backups. Also, haven't found ddr5 but found some free ddr4 for some servers.
