I’m new to selfhosting, I’ve installed Turnkey nextcloud on my proxmox server, and done the basic setup, now I’m faced with this.

Any advice?

    It can take less time when using an LLM for simple procedural things like fixing a single well-documented Nextcloud config error.

    It also takes less cognitive load to get to the answer. I’m not suggesting one fully uses LLMs instead of search engines, but for this specific issue that OP has, I’ve found that LLM takes me less time and concentration than searching it and manually parsing through threads and forums.

      please don’t interpret my sardonic reply as criticism. look on the bright side - your query probably consumed enough energy to power a small home for a while :P

        I get that you don’t like the technology and that is fine. It’s overused in applications it shouldn’t and its useful applications are overshadowed by marketing hype.

        That said, if you use more efficient models (like deepseek), you will use significantly less energy per query.

        Respectfully, I won’t engage any further. I expected this sort of objection but it doesn’t contribute to OPs original question anymore.

          i didn’t downvote you, and i hope people here know that the vote buttons aren’t like buttons here.

          i’m only fucking around. playing with ideas. doing what i think people should do in discussion fora.

          but trying to play the high ground for using microsoft’s “ai” scam is a new thing to me. all good, though, i hope your prius kisses you back :P
