You may want to do it out of pure curiosity or because you want a better solution without the cost. That is the boat I often find myself in. An example of this is being constantly warned by Google I am running out of space for online storage of photos and videos. Each time costing a little bit more per month whilst wondering how secure it all is and who else may have access to my data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This little website is for those people! A blog of random thoughts and curiosities which lead me down the rabbit hole of new projects and learning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I don&#8217;t know about you but I don&#8217;t want AI doing everything for me. The thought that it can take away creativity and learning skills worries me. Most of the enjoyment is in discovery of new things and expanding my experiences and learning rather than telling AI to do it all for me. In fact, this website is the result of a misunderstanding, a hurdle, and searching for an alternative solution resulted in being able to run my own server with a free solution, and being introduced to WordPress for the first time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So here we go. I hope the articles on here provide a solution or something you can experience and learn for yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you are like me and many others, you may spend a good proportion of your free time tinkering with computers, gadgets, and various projects just to see how things work.
