I am back with another published article.

Ideogram.ai: penguin in a server room covered in ice and snow, whole picture made out of green matrix style lines of code, cinematic

Please be kind! I am a self-taught Linux user and by no means an expert. My goal with this guide is to help newcomers to Linux have an easier and more secure start.

To all the experts out there, please be kind and do share your tips and observations. I am happy to keep updating the article to make the self-hosting world more secure.

Asks for donations but scams out artists by using AI art. You are just absolute scum OP.

Wow… very narrow minded perspective you have. So you call me scum, but did you donate or did you consume my content for free? Lol (I know the answer as so far I did not receive donations)

I embrace new technology and as I wrote in my about section, I adopt GenAI for learning purposes. Because learning in real life use cases is how I learn best.

I am sharing knowledge for free, spend hours on writing these articles. If I would need to pay for the pictures out of my pocket, I would not make my content available.

I am happy to donate to people who spend time giving back to the community, I do not rely on donations, but if anyone is like me, I am happy to accept them!

GenAI is one of the biggest revolutions we habe seen so far. Get behind it or be left in the dust…

OP is open about using AI. His content is great and you can tell they are passionate about it. We need more of this and if people use AI to help them word their articles, who cares as long as they don't ask it to write the article for them.

Thank you very much. Means a lot coming from the creator of noted.lol!

Which reminded me, I always wanted to donate and just did so!

You are the reason I choose Ghost by the way and got quite a few inspiration from your articles! Thanks for that.

I didn't even read one word of it. That's why I didn't comment on the content. Opening the link showed a donation ask and an AI image. That already tells me everything about you that I need to know. Glad for you that you are fine with stealing other people's work, all the images used to train these.
