AI won’t make humans obsolete, because not everything can be reduced to a process, and there’s no one right way to do most things.

2026-09-20 16:13:44 UTC

We’ve handed the keys to our emails, calendars, to-do lists, and private lives to services that know more about us than most people we love.
Every step is tracked. Big Tech analyses the shit out of our data and they can infer an astonishing amount about us: from our favourite shoe brand to the political party we support.
I’m not trying to give a sermon. I’m guilty of it too.
AI holds the key to two very different futures.
One is a dystopian age of surveillance, where every breath is counted, measured, and analysed.
The other is a golden future where we run our own services, host our data on our own infrastructure, and decide who gets access.
Self-hosting used to mean weeks of reading documentation, hitting walls in the terminal because commands were broken or gave completely different output, and wondering whether you needed to hire a networking engineer just to fix your setup.
(It also meant pestering knowledgeable friends with endless questions. Big shoutout to @nprofile…v7x3 , who has patiently endured a truly unreasonable amount of my pestering. Seriously, thank you!)
Now, a few good prompts can get a self-hosted service running. When you don’t understand something, AI can explain it, troubleshoot it with you, or help build it.
AI is a powerful tool. We can use it to hand even more of ourselves to Big Tech or we can use it to become more independent.

Non-aggression means you should not initiate aggression. It does not mean tolerating abuse.
Too many self-described libertarians miss that distinction and mistake cowardice for non-aggression.

The more you work inside a corporation, the less obvious it becomes that anything should work at all.
Everyone misunderstands each other. Things get lost in translation. Something breaks somewhere every day. The one person who knows how it works is on annual leave.
But somehow, your package still shows up at your door more often than not.

Setting up its server in a self-hosted manner is trivial and you can simply run its server on your VPS or home server.

100%.
If something needs a company to keep its servers alive, then you are trusting that company not to fail, sell out, get pressured, or change its mind.
Signal does a lot right, especially making encryption the default. But it still takes some trust on its centrally maintained servers to use it securely and privately. Once governments overreach (which they often do) we are at the mercy of Signal operators: their servers, their jurisdiction, and whatever choices they make when the pressure arrives.
However, running your own DeltaChat server on a VPS is trivial. You can set it up yourself or ask AI to set it up for you with the help of its documentation. Then you are not just using encrypted messaging. You are running the infrastructure too.

Congrats!
As for Berd, though, I have no clue what it is 😄 I found its GitHub page, read the first few lines, and it immediately made me wonder: have you looked into Hermes?
It’s a great harness for using any AI model (even your Claude or OpenAI sub or both or even more!) and they have this beautiful motto that really captures the essence of the project: “The agent that grows with you.”
I might have completely misunderstood your question or what the point of Berd is, but if Hermes fits what you’re trying to do, I have a few tips for setting it up ;)

It back in 2015 when I first got interested in keeping fish and aquatic plants.
It all started with this one betta fish.
Then I thought: “Maybe I should get him a bigger bowl?”
Then: “How about a plant?”
(You can see both in the picture.)
And somehow, that turned into a full-fledged aquarium at home and eventually another aquarium at the school where I taught English and German.
After moving to Poland, I went years without keeping an aquarium. Then last year, I got one fish … yes, you guessed it: one small betta fish. 😄
And, once again, things escalated.
That one betta now lives in a 25-liter planted aquarium with a whole cleanup crew of Amano shrimp and several kinds of snails. To my credit, I have kept the aquarium and the species small this time to make the maintenance easier and keep the costs low.
Swipe to meet the crew. 🐟🦐🐌

I had heard that address mining hacks can generate addresses that resembles yours very much and it’s better to check the full address.
Having read your comment, I checked with AI and it seems checking even 8 characters (if I remember correctly) can decrease the chances of being fooled by a fake address to impractical levels. But still, I’d prefer to check all the characters for the main transfer. Because 1) I won’t have to count which 12 characters I’d better check and 2) it reduces the stress levels and gives you some time to mentally prepare for clicking “Broadcast transaction”.

2026-09-06 16:37:59 UTC

Was setting up a multisig with a client. As he watched me check every hash, signature, and character in an address, he asked, "Has anyone actually been screwed by missing any of these steps?"
He might have thought I was being paranoid or trying to make my role as a facilitator seem more complicated than it was just to justify why it needed to exist.
His jaw dropped when I told him that every single one of those failure modes has already been exploited!
That caution comes from real horror stories, not paranoia.
