Or…we could make it easier for them and make the use of the tag a conscious decision indicating something instead of relying on the mod’s voluntary work to correct for an implied meaning.

Or that the author didn’t know about the rule?


But wouldn’t that be far more useful? Many people seem to be looking for projects who don’t ever touch AI. Devs who use a [No AI] tag show that they follow the same agenda and most likely will not change their opinion on the next release.


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.
So everyone just adds a “I’m not working for x” to their posts?
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.


As long as it’s self-hosted I don’t have a problem with it. Plex is maybe a good example for this. I wouldn’t ban Plex questions as long as it isn’t just a weekly advertising post. Up- and down voting can handle the rest.
There is no harm done to the user’s machine. What are you talking about? The malware as you call it is limited to the project folder and Claude itself specifically asks you if you trust the contents of a newly opened folder.
It is, but unfortunately Claude detects it immediately and ignores it.

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.
The basic workflow of network troubleshooting is:


You are not the only one - you’re still overreacting. The use of emojis does not make it AI generated. At least try to find some other hints before accusing a possible real person of something.


Let them think it. All those experts seeing AI everywhere can live under their rock and stay there. Recently an artist I personally know was criticized for using AI in his artwork - oil paintings each one signed by hand. Photographed in a way you can see it’s real paint and a real place for the last 20 years. It annoys me more to see all these accusations being placed without having looked at it even one bit further.
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.


I run a lot of services on a single old NUC I got for less than 100 dollars. I added some RAM (back then when you could buy some) and a new NVMe stick later when, but since then this single machine could handle all I asked it to do.
I’d rather have a happy and productive maintainer than a burnout and an orphaned project. Either way forks can be made at any point - so if you don’t like the use of AI just fork it or don’t update any more and stay happy. No need to get mad at each other.
Well it’s AI slop then - at least by the definition of most users here.


That’s one thing I especially like about self hosting: You can do it at your own pace. But at the same time there are almost no limits. With today’s technology you can do anything you want.
It helps me if depression hits because you can set your own goals and actually achieve them.


That’s the beauty of a memory leak. Even plenty of RAM can get filled up to the brim…
Even better: We could mandate every post to put [Moderate This] at the end if they don’t follow the rules.
