Obsidian doesn’t really have self-hosting as far as I know, even though it is an electron app so it would be trivial for them to do, but it would cut into their revenue stream of obsidian sync. One of the downsides to closed source. The only things related are static website “wiki” generation from the markdown file collection.

Or people use it for blogging like
Syncthing (or nextcloud/Opencloud) can be used to sync obsidian vaults across devices though.
I would suggest opencloud over nextcloud as it is quite a bit faster and not just a mass of extensions and tends to break a lot less than nextcloud. I stopped using nextcloud because of the amount of times it completely broke on an upgrade while not even having breaking changes (I’m glad I didn’t have end to end encryption)
- Comment on What's your weirdest or most unique self-hosted use case and solution? 1 week ago:
I need to do something similar. I have a Esp32S3 music player/ voice assistant connected to my old Yamaha, 90s AV receiver. It can change the volume knob via IR commands (cool integrated motor that physically turns the knob when the remote or HA changes the volume with IR).
I want to do something like put a ring magnet and an encoder on the tiny shaft or something to get position feedback to couple to HomeAssistant/musicassistant.
- Comment on Release v3.3.0 · immich-app/immich 1 week ago:
I read the whole thing. This seems like standard sponsored response of not biting the hand that feeds them now that they are full time…
The entire point 3 of the user complaint is reaching really far. The one user is being toxic through the whole thread so I also get from their side not wanting to heavily engage because nothing besides divebombing immich’s entire livelihood would satisfy them it seems.
FUTO seems like a toxic company, but the thread isn’t damning. It seems like we have to keep an eye on immich. Otherwise a fork I guess…
- Comment on Release v3.3.0 · immich-app/immich 1 week ago:
FUTO sponsors immich I guess, FUTO is on there. FUTO is problematic but as far as anyone can tell, they haven’t pushed anything on immich.
- Comment on Self host a garden management software 1 week ago:
It was a joke, chill.
But let’s be in good faith about this, vibe coders will overwhelmingly use cloud based corporate frontier models…
And self hosting LLMs in general singularly and only solves one part of the resource objection (prompts running on green energy) and that is all and only if the model is run on green energy. It doesn’t solve most of the moral objections, IP objections, economic objections, resource objections, or brain damage objections.
That being said, one’s own, local, never-to-release app or internal tooling is probably one of the better uses for LLMs like documentation discovery, informal document translation and tiny TTS and STT models (the best usecase in my own opinion)

“You’re right to push back, when you create a new plant layout on Fridays, it does drop the entire database and
rm -rf /your system, would you like me to fix that for you?” - Comment on Self-Host Weekly (2 October 2026) 2 weeks ago:
Look at the code and commit history and/or talk to the developer.
If the developer only commits in giant blocks of 1-2 days and mostly in a few hours and changes thousands of lines of code in that time, the chances of it not being vibe coded and actually being checked are extremely slim, outside of a complete project refactor. It used to be that LLMs would just do massive single commits, but now they do a thousand tiny commits on the same day using a ton of barely human-readable jargon (for less experienced devs) in the git commits.
If the project was started past 2025 and the initial commit(s) on the first day were massive, that also points (less strongly) towards vibe coding.
If the Dev can’t explain what his code does without having an LLM write the response (this is getting to be harder), that also generally also means that it was vibe coded.
If the dev’s commit history only includes documentation, issues, or very very small things until 2025-2026 and combined with one of the above, it is usually vibe coded.
The vibe coding identifying sites online are complete garbage with mostly false positives. For example, if I run it on my old github repos from before LLM coding existed, it says that it is very likely vibe coded because I comment a ton because my memory isn’t great and I am an electronics guy with very bad coding git management so my git commit history is like one or two commits per day when I am working on something, but I try to bullet list all of my changes in a readable way for people not familiar with the code (like myself in 1 year lol)

I think the comment about AI is not in good faith.
It isn’t users saying every “AI assisted” project is vibe coded slop.
It is just as often or more that developers and “developers” lying about AI assistance when they are just vibe coding or “AI assisting” and barely checking over the code. There are tons if those on Fdroid android apps too.
The projects that are actually only AI assisted don’t get that many complaints on most communities I see. It is the slop that people push as legitimate that gets people riled up.
- Comment on The creator of Fortnite has laid off more than 1,000 staff – despite billions in revenue 6 months ago:
Corpos suck ass and have no respect for their workers, but revenue is pretty useless for guaging a company’s financial health. Companies tanking and going out of business often have hundreds of millions until billions of revenue, while still being a hundreds of millions in negative. Kind of a different story than presented unless we know their revenue minus operating costs and if they have done investor money scams like stock buybacks.
