Because reasonable APIs have input validation provided out of the box, so that not everybody has to reinvent the validation wheel (inevitably incorrectly).

PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.cato Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Very large amounts of gaming gpus vs AI gpusEnglish1·14 hours agoThanks!
That helps when I eventually get around to standing up my own AI server.Right now I can’t really justify the cost for my low volume of use, when I can get CloudFlare free tier access to mid-sized models. But it’s something want to bring into my homelab instead for better control and privacy.
PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.cato Selfhosted@lemmy.world•How to use a domain I own to self-host services?English1·17 hours agoIt depends on your motivations and security requirements.
If you’re already hosting Home Assistant, there is an add-on for CloudFlared which will take care of most of everything for you, using CloudFlare secure tunnels.
It even does simple subdomain reverse proxy, to serve your other services.It requires that you use CloudFlare for your DNS entries, and it won’t secure your host for you (they do offer some free services to help a little), and you still end up depending on a cloud service provider so it’s not pure self hosting.
But it’s free, you’re still mostly in control, and it’s less likely to catastrophically mess up your netsec if you’re a beginner.
PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.cato Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Very large amounts of gaming gpus vs AI gpusEnglish1·14 hours agoIs Nvidia still a defacto requirement? I’ve heard of AMD support being added to OLlama and etc, but I haven’t found robust comparisons on value.

PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.cato Books@lemmy.world•Contemporary cyberpunk recommendations?3·2 days agoI wouldn’t call DCC cyberpunk.
But it is an entertaining read, and probably the best of what LitRPG has to offer, besides maybe He Fights With Monsters. If you like the genre will depend entirely on how cringy or not you find rpg mechanics in your stories.

PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.cato Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Bots everywhere or am I losing it?23·3 days agoWhy hello!
I can see from your post that you like losing it; that’s great, it’s something we have in common!
Have you considered using Mountain Dew? It helps me making losing it even better! Maybe it can help you too. Give it a try!
I feel the same way about python, too.
The way everything is just JavaScript and python, now, is really annoying.

PeriodicallyPedantic@lemmy.cato Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•Twitch's largest political streamer, Asmongold, shovels racist and xenophobic messaging to his audience of 52K+ live viewersEnglish151·3 days agoNot his streams, but I’d watch his VODs that got popular on YouTube sometimes.
I had to block him like a year ago because the dumbest of his takes kept popping up in my recommended feed. The way he’d crank up the slack jawed hurr derr right before he said something intentionally divisive, drove me nuts.
But years ago his takes were fairly benign (or at least the VODs that made to YouTube were), iirc. I thought he was just kinda goofy, back then.
I don’t know him from the WoW days, though.

Dude makes his living by making stupid takes and then playing up his doofus character to apologize like “durrrr sorry I didn’t know it was bad to call someone a f*gg*t”
The devil doesn’t need an advocate, and he has a hoard of frothing redpills to defend anything he says.
