I'm already hosting pihole, but i know there's so much great stuff out there! I want to find some useful things that I can get my hands on. Thanks!

Edit: Thanks all! I've got a lil homelab setup going now with Pihole, Jellyfin, Paperless ngx, Yacht and YT-DL. Going to be looking into it more tomorrow, this is so much fun!

Use chatgpt to help you keep going, it's very helpful

edit: Thought I'd expand on this more. Treat ChatGPT like a fellow engineer who never gets annoyed at answering your questions, and will never tell you that you're dumb (haha). Tell it what yo'ure trying to do, copy paste your commands into it, copy paste the error messages if you have any. Literally, inundate it with questions and info and it'll help you understand what you're doing and help you unblock yourself. It's a great tool.

Don't know why you got downvoted. Chatgpt has helped me too wrap my head around programming/scripting - in my case jinja2 in home assistant.

It might not always be correct, but it helped me getting started!

I think the thing that's really stopping me from using that is that every time I get curious and go poking around to see what the fuss is, I run into some sort of paywall situation, or maybe it's just a long queue that you need to join to get access, something like that. All I know is that you can't just casually fire it up and take it for a spin.

Either I'm finding the wrong thing, or the people who already swear by it paid some fee or got an early access code ages ago. It also doesn't know when it's lying, and already got a lawyer in trouble for trying to let ChatGPT do his job, apparently it slapped together a brief, an argument before the court, that referenced a bunch of case law that didn't actually exist.

No matter what, it's not so casually accessible as people make it out to be, I don't know what's up with that.

I'm assuming you're referring to ChatGPT not being casually accessible. If you're signed up on a free account, you get access to GPT-3.5 which is pretty decent. If you pay the $20 a month you get access to GPT-4 which is even better, and I prefer to use this - but the free model is also fine for learning podman/docker.

Sign up, if you gotta be on the waitlist, get on it. You can also use Google Bard or Microsoft's Bing chat AI as well. The MS Bing one is GPT-4 backed. Either way, they will help you learn stuff. Don't be discouraged, push through and embrace these awesome generative AI tools, they unlock superpowers for you :)

Try phind.com, it's free for now, and uses gpt-3.5 unlimited or gpt-4 limited to 25 requests per.. 4 hours I think. Never ran out. It's specialised for devs. So far the output is the best of bing AI, and Copilot chat that I'm testing.

I had that at the start for a day or two but then it stopped. I a chatgpt open in a tab on my phone. I haven't had any issue asking questions in months

This has been my go to lately. I have whole conversations with chatgpt. I would love to see who reviews the logs for chatgpt to hear some of the crazy, sad, weird and awesome things they find
