  • Having the tags is nice, but I don’t think mandating it is the way to go.

    People who hate AI to the bitter end will use a [NOT AI] tag and signalize people who think alike that this status of the project will most likely never change.

    Other people might happily tell everyone the used AI and use the respective tag as well.

    But most people don’t care and wouldn’t use either. This also means that a project that currently uses no AI, but does not use the tag might do so in the future, which is also an important information - for the AI haters.

  • I find this too prohibitive. Even with the exception this would make me think twice about a promo post and maybe even refrain me from posting at all. For non-except services it is even worse. It may lead to spam posts or users trying to categorize contributions into useful and not useful posts.

    Self hosting does not end for everyone with free services. Some of us are happy to pay for services provided by others and I would really like to read about these here as well. I know this is not the intention of the rule, but it will be its result.

  • I use chore-helper for Home Assistant for that. I chose it because I like the “after x days” vs. the classic “every x days” approach. If I forgot to clean the shower for over a week there is no point to have a reminder the next day after I finally did it, but I want it to happen x days later no matter how long I dragged the previous task.

    It hasn’t received updates in ages though and can be quite slow and complicated to manage. I want to have a look in ChoreOps to replace it.

  • This is something your domain provider has to offer to you. It is usually a paid service. Not all TLDs allow it though - so depending on your domain ending you might be out of luck. I don’t know your intentions, but if you want to evade prosecution because of the traffic going through your TOR node this will not work. Even with whois privacy enabled your provider must disclose your identity to prosecution. Even if they weren’t the A record (IP address) of your domain would link the domain to your server and would open another way to identify you through your hosting provider or ISP.
