  • For me, the opposite was true. Ever since I injured my knees last year, putting a 75 inch TV in my bedroom has improved my quality of life.

    I know people will probably say “oh just fix your knees” and think that sentiment is helping, but I tend to not take my medical advice from technology communities and instead listen to doctors. It makes me sound rude, but it’s true that medical advice should be given by medical professionals for the best outcome possible.

    I really do love having a nice big TV in my bedroom.









  • I agree with most of what you’re saying, I disagree with the last part of what you’re saying.

    The self-host movement is about taking control away from companies, and running web services locally instead of having to rely on companies for them and pay for them. Most things you can run locally without needing a server, but there are absolutely good use cases for server-based services. Some great examples of this are cloud storage, code repositories, and chat servers. You could run each of those things locally, but they are each improved by running them on a dedicated server designed for 24/7 uptime and centralized access.
