Your question is how do you follow your adhd driven deep interest dives without committing to a graduate program while contributing to the field.

As a PhD student and someone who acts similarly with hobbies, current one is self hosting, I would say a couple things. Firstly, if I had to do it again I might say get a good paying job that you’re interested in and explore your hobbies on your own. Not getting a PhD won’t make you miss out on anything but 7 years of work for some credentials. Most of the skills you can hypothetically gain on your own, depending on the field.

Secondly, there is such a thing as an independent research. If you understand how research works in a field and can research and write accordingly, you can certainly do that.

For wanting to contribute I would start a website for your projects. I would use this to contact people in said field for advice and ask what they think about your ideas. You could use them as a stepping stone for potential publications.

I would say at least 50% of academics especially the 30-50 year old one’s are more than willing to help, or at least meet with you, if they have time.

Sounds like the same thing except for access list. I was unsuccessful those working oreviously

Cloudflare is only providing the letsencrypt cert.

Could you explain/link your method? :)

I am using letsencrypt on NPM. You mean only locally?

NPM is in my post…

Yay!

Did you check the logs?

My next step would be to restart server…

Didn’t know that!

Btw you can block instances in your settings. Also I would argue lemmy.ml is not as “tankie” as the other two.

I didn’t consider length! That’s a good point too

Another goofy example is I asked it a python question using a specific package import . I sent a big chunk of code. It answered using a package I wasn’t even importing breaking everything. It could never figure it out either lol

Even reformatting has caused me issues. My best example is I gave it 100 citations in a non standardized format and asked for MLA. It returned 100 in MLA but randomly 10 of the books were made up. It decided to delete ten I sent at random and make them up instead of just giving me what I sent

Maybe also wget the website.

I’d be careful with using “ai.” Sometimes ChatGPT makes up answers even when you provide it with the data. -source it lies to me all the time

Share more details please. I also had a similar issue

Northern Europe is super racist again black people and Asians….

I thought this one was dumb too https://lemm.ee/post/49060797

That would be a fun thread. What’s the most unnecessary self hosted thing you’ve seen someone host or host

Lmao
