I want to set up my own Nepenthes against LLMs. I have purchased a domain, say “wowsocool.com”.
I have a RaspberryPi 4B that I want to use as an nginx reverse proxy, and an old Acer laptop that will host the Nepenthes. I am going to host this at my current residence router as I won’t be staying there too long. I thought this was a cool temporary project.
My problem is that the website sort of glosses over the whole nginx setup and IP pointing etc.
If anyone has done this before, is it possible to please write up a dummy’s guide that goes through everything. I am quite unconfident and my skills are nonexistent in this field.
Pretty please.
I am reminded of back in the late 60s to 70s we did a lot of studies on left handed people and our kneejerk reaction to try and change their dominant hand. We decided that left handed people were absolutely normal, leave them be and stop stressing out adolescents by trying to make them ‘normal’, because they already are. BTW the practice of changing dominant hands goes all the way back to the Catholic church during the middle ages. Anyways, when corporate America heard the news, they started producing all manner of left handed tools, which was helpful, but their motivation was $$. Same with LGBTQ+++. Corporate America capitalized on every aspect.
However, if you plunk down your hard earned money for an AI rice cooker, you’re the idiot and P.T. Barnum would be right once again.
I think the feeling is the same, but the cause is a bit different. It is more similar to the dot-com bubble, where investors (for some reason?) are hyped to throw their money into AI. So if you can market yourself as AI, you can get big investments. Now that you have all that investor cash, you need to justify it somehow by using AI somewhere, anywhere.
I’ve dealt with VC back when I ran an internet radio station. There is pressure to incorporate their wishes, because, well, they want an ROI on their investment.
