This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things
Self-hosting enthusiasts watching cloud providers rain down their "enshittification" on the masses. Meanwhile, Arduino—the beloved open-source hardware platform that powered countless DIY projects—just updated their ToS to prohibit reverse engineering. You know, the exact thing their entire ecosystem was built on. Nothing says "we're getting acquired by a massive corporation" quite like suddenly caring about IP protection after years of encouraging hackers to tinker with your stuff. Qualcomm's lawyers must've had a field day drafting that one. The self-hosted crowd is sitting pretty smug right now, and honestly? Can't blame them. When your Arduino board starts requiring a subscription service, at least you'll know where to find them—in their basement server room, running everything on a Raspberry Pi.

David vs. The AI Goliaths
The big AI models (ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude) get all the glory while your scrappy little homegrown model sits alone in the dark. It's that moment when you've spent months fine-tuning your own AI on a single GPU while the tech giants deploy thousands of servers. But hey, at least your model doesn't need an internet connection and won't hallucinate facts about your codebase! There's something beautifully defiant about running your own AI locally—like growing vegetables in your backyard while everyone else shops at Whole Foods. Your electricity bill might disagree though.

Can't We Just Use GitHub Or GitLab?
That one developer who insists on hosting their own Git server instead of using established platforms... and suddenly you're exchanging keys, joining their Wireguard VPN, and probably signing blood oaths just to contribute to a project that could've lived happily on GitHub. The suspicious monkey face perfectly captures that moment when you're wondering if this is worth the effort or if your colleague is secretly building a bunker for the inevitable tech apocalypse.
