Ai tomorrow better than ai today? Yes, that is true any day of any year. I don’t get your point 🤷
A vulnerability was found, that vulnerability was patched. I think it’s great news that vulnerabilities are being found and fixed faster than ever. Do you agree?
To be fair, my server has been public facing for the entire time these ai models have been finding vulnerabilities.
I’m not worried. I have auto updates on and have a well hardened setup following all the good basic principles. I have had a fully public facing server for years with no issues. My php was patched and updated totally automatically a few hours after the update became available. My web server is extremely low volume traffic and there is hardly any reason for random people to be using it, so chances of somebody attempting something against it at just the right time a vulnerability has been discovered but not patched is very low chance. When a critical vulnerability appears, hackers are going to target the big fish for big wins initially, even so, it takes effort to turn a vulnerability into an actual exploit and deploy it. I could step out my front door and get run over by a bus, but I don’t worry about it and stay on doors all day to mitigate the risk.
You’re not me. You will have different tastes too me. No point you using the distros I like. Do what everybody else does, experiment, try a few, read about them. The are loads out there all with little quirks and differences. Try L/K/X/Ubuntu, try cachyos / arch, try void, try Gentoo, try popos… Have a look at distrowatch for loads of inspiration.
Any and all distros can use and run any software any other distro runs so they can all do the same stuff, just they all get there in slightly different ways.
Yeah, I know how to do that very easily, but I don’t want to have my pc running 24/7 just so I can use the llm when I’m out of the house. My heaviest use is at home. It’s a large power requirement for minimal use.
Yeah, I have a fairly useable setup although it’s only accessible on my lan. I have a web server but it doesn’t host the llm as it’s not powerful enough.

Get around 40 tok / sec and it’s really useable. Not as good as Claude sonnet, but good enough for most things.
I host my own Lemmy instance, but only because I spent the last 3 years learning to host other stuff. It’s taken a lot of effort and time to figure it all out and get it working, and the only reason I bothered was because it interested me. Most people aren’t that interested in how it all works and just want to use a working thing.
Been running this hardware setup since July 2025, although a couple of services have been added in that time. All works really well and has minimal maintenance as everything is fully automated with scripts. -
I have no idea what you are on about. What do you want me to do? Turn the internet off? Lock my doors and not leave the house? Sit here crying and quivering because the world is gonna end? My head is deffo not in the sand, I’m looking out the window at the rain, enjoying my life, looking forward to tomorrow.
I’m not worried about my web server any more today then I was last year. It’s a web server, it’s not me or my life, yes it how important stuff, but if the world ends it’ll be the last thing I think of.
My web server is as safe as it needs to be. Thanks for your concern.
