Let’s start with this: Can you do anything personally to save the world? I’m not talking incremental personal improvement rainbows and butterflies horseshit, I’m saying can you personally do anything to stop what is clearly a catastrophic trajectory?

If you can, do it. If you can’t, which I believe nobody can at this point, it’s time to stop worrying and live the life you have left.

Spend more time outside, learn to paint acrylics, go get some pussy.

Why torture yourself and live in misery? Why allow all the evil people trying to terrorize you to succeed? Fuck that noise.

Dude- it’s like you’re reading my mind. I’ve installed Nextcloud 4 different times, the most recent being on docker desktop in Win11. I’ve resorted to using chatgpt to help me with the commands. LITERALLY EVERY STEP RESULTS IN AN ERROR. The Collabora office suite (necessary to view or edit cloud docs without downloading them) WILL NOT DOWNLOAD. The “php -d memory_limit=512M occ app:install richdocumentscode” chatgpt and Nextcloud suggest is not recognized by the terminal. You can’t just download Collabora, cuz fuck you, i guess, and you can’t access Docker’s actual file system from windows explorer.

I’ve typed nonsense into various black screens for upward of 20 hours now, and nextcloud is “working” locally. I can access my giant hard drive from my android nextcloud app, but it’s SLOW AS FUCK.

I can’t imagine how many man-hours it would take to open the server to the internet. Makes me want to fucking barf just thinking about it.

I’ve been fucking with Linux since 2005 and have yet to get a single thing to work correctly. I guess I’m the only one who thinks an (mostly) invisible file system in incomprehensible repetitive folders, made of complete nonsense commands might not be the best way to operate a computer system.

I’m really frustrated if you can’t tell.

On another topic, trying to get Ollama to run on my Lubuntu VM was also impossible. I guess if everyone knew it was going to force you to somehow retroactively configure every motherfucking aspect of the install nobody would bother. You can sudo all day and it still denies me permission to do things LISTED IN THE MOTHERFUCKING DOCUMENTATION.

Is this all just low-effort poorf** bullshit that doesn’t actually work?
