"My prediction… is pain " -Muhammad Ali

Software skills plus domain knowledge

Software skills --> Anyone will be able to vibecode a good-enough app within 2-3 years

Domain knowledge --> Top LLMs already have domain knowledge comparable to specialists in whichever field, and are getting less hallucinatory & more accurate every year.

Not being a doomer, no idea what policies make sense going forward, but this is what I observe

HVAC

I remember when I just graduated from college

STEM degrees.

Looking in the newspaper of my major US city.
All the ads were for HVAC techs. Nobody was looking for Comp Sci or Chem Engineering.
Almost switched to HVAC.

Glad I held out for an actual debugging software job

Pity young people today. Don’t be programmers; there’s no future in it.

getting two computers to talk to each other is so so much harder due to NAT traversal

… which is why you will take IPv4 on my home network from my cold, dead hands, and why all IPv6 traffic is blocked in the network that hosts my PC/laptop

Same boat here. I still futz with my PinePhone but mostly as a portable music/video player.

Eagerly awaiting the rebirth of CalyxOS

I for one look forward to taking my LUKS encrypted PinePhone thru US customs

Just have to pick the Lock Screen image. Right now I’m leaning towards Fountainhead Charlie

In a few months CalyxOS should be up again. Personally I m waiting for that

And it’s more of a video format than an image format, lots of juicy attack surface

TBH I chose Funkwhale for my solution because it looked easy and out of the box, I just add a single Docker and subdomain to my existing site.

It wound up being more or less what you describe.

I may well follow OP’s guide and nuke my Funkwhale despite the work I put into it and the fact that it does basically work for its intended purpose

Question: did you consider Funkwhale , and if so why did you choose this other stack instead?

EDIT: fix link sry
