  • Lucky for you, it can be self hosted, too! Make sure to use BrainX Revamped, the original BrainX is already deprecated and had lots of bugs. beRAIN tried to continue the original and had a working prototype without using two hemispheres, but it sadly didn’t take off and is not maintained. There are more forks of original BX and BXR, so choose your flavor, but beware of the cloud one by Oracle that was forked before the license change and made closed source.










  • Also can be purchased via crypto for maximum privacy. They also offer something I eould call “AI Studio”, where you can easily switch models, and the chats are fully private and don’t share context. You can customize which domains to promote, demote, block, pin, and they have some nice bangs functionality.

    I stopped paying for all streaming platforms, and Kagi is hands down the best bang for my buck as I already use it every day (in contrast of binging a show every two months).


  • Super easy with Docker, and also quite portable. Usually is a copy paste and minor changes that irk me, but now I don’t have to explain my family what are torrents, how are torrents, what is a tracker, give them my credentials, and teach them to SSH to the server in order to copy a file let alone show them how to properly name it in order for Jellyfin to correctly recognize it.

    All I have to do is log them in the app once, and tell them "If you want a movie, find it here, and it will probably be available in Jellyfin in and hour or two.





  • Just to post an alternative (correct me if there is something wrong with the app) but I have been using Futo keyboard for a week now and I’ve been pleayed. Clipboard disabled by default, drag typing, local autocorrect that you can load any dictionary (as a file), can use local text or voice ML model that you have to download yourself (their site has a browser), customizable quick actions, smart key hitbox enlarging (increases key hitbox according to how likely it is to come next). It is free, but asks for a support of about 9€.


  • There a million ways, and you will probably find tons of tutorials each different - Docker, Docker Compose, native install, VMWare, Kubernetes, Portainer, etc. I recommend starting with a clean machine - preferably with an attached monitor - and installing your favorite Linux distro (Ubuntu is among the easiest), getting Docker and Docker Compose running, and familiarizing yourself with these technologies.

    Then you can start with a simple app like Paperless (document digitization), Vikunja (TODOs), BookStack (wiki), or PrivateBin (pastebin), getting it running and persist state over a period of time, then setting up a reverse proxy so you don’t have to use IPs all the time (with just editing your hosts file to point a URL to IP of your machine), and then it is a free world.

    Of course, having the whole setup secure, independent, and easily manageable is partially eyperience and partially understanding your needs.

    You will probably even find whole ready-to-deploy git repositories that are easily configurable, so you can go with that too.
