I can relate to the sentiment. For what it's worth, I also know that if someone's personal site/repos/pictures are used to train AI, they have no recourse short of said person having TONS of money to go and fight the leg

Not impossible, but the likelihood of a domain being taken away on a whim compared to a social network deciding to "shadowban" or just disable an account on their network is significantly lower. Also, with a domain you might have

Nothing to disagree in this statement, for sure. If it's on the open internet, it will almost surely be used for AI training, consent be damned. But it feels like even at a rudimentary level, if I post a picture on my site that is then

That's a fair call-out, but that's why in the post I mention this: > Most people are perfectly content with everything living inside their Facebook account because it’s convenient and their family and friends are already there.

Absolutely. I am a big fan of supporting independent software and bootstrapped services.

On (1), yes that is true to an extent - the domain discoverability is indeed mostly at the mercy of Google, and the whole "AI overview" is a garbage experience. However, looking at my own search console data (both Google and Bing)

You do. That's why I wouldn't recommend it to anyone unless they absolutely know what they're doing. Can't tell you how many friends I had to have a talk with who had plain vanilla port forwarding done on their home rout

Exactly this. At some point, you need to delegate. Make it portable, don't get locked into a proprietary architecture, and you'll be good. Not everyone will be able (or has any desire) to run their own rack.

Great resource, thank you for sharing! I should include it in the blog post footnotes.

You forgot the steps of pressing your own silicon wafers in the garage, followed by soldering motherboards from zero, and of course, having a steel mill to build racks and computer cases. The only way to ensure true independence. In all ser

Totally. If I would tell 10-year-old me that I have my own website on my own domain, it would be seen as a shocking development. I find it really cool to be able to have a corner of the internet that is just mine.

You don't even need attention - it could be a public blog where you share about the things you learn. You never know who it's going to help. That's primarily my motivation with the blog.

Spot-on - I call it out at the end of the article. Principles are broadly the same.

Krtek is an underrated classic!

I switched to the classic photo viewer because I am not a fan of the new one. You can switch with a bit of registry "hacking": reg add "HKCR\Applications\photoviewer.dll" /f reg add "HKCR\Applications\photoview

Thank you for the shout-out, really appreciate it. Your assumption is correct - it's regular HID device!

I don't know about the latest Stream Deck models, but for previous models (at least the ones I have) you might be surprised that behind the scenes is just one display! See the teardown (album not mine): https://imgur.com&#x2

Yeah, I am undertaking this primarily to break free of the artificial constraints - the hardware is top-notch, but the ever-increasing push to make every piece of software connect to an account when it's not needed is absurd. Appreciat

They do, and indeed there are libraries that are already accomplishing what I am doing! This project is mostly there to satisfy my own curiosity, as well as build a robust .NET wrapper (not Python). Love the work that python-elgato-streamde

Indeed, I am not the first, and I am sure not the last, to dig through Stream Deck internals. This article was mostly written to satisfy my own curiosity.

Yeah, the naming for these devices is not very obvious to quite a few readers. This blog post is about the control box.
