145 Days of Uptime, 56 TiB of Traffic, One Debian Upgrade

As someone who uses Debian for their own home server I was interested in reading this person's experience, but they seem to have filtered it through an LLM which added a lot of words and not a lot of insight making it significantly less readable in the process.

Nobody cares. Read it, or don't. Complaining about perceived LLM writing adds nothing to the conversation.

40m agoHN ↗

Agreed - not only does the obvious LLM writing/editing make it hard to read, but the weird stylistic choice to have long sections where every single short sentence is its own line made the read even more grating.

I usually like blog posts about homelabs but came out of this one disappointed.

FFS, please do at least one edit pass over the article to get rid of the LLM stench before you publish it. It's the least you can do if you expect your readers to give the text a chance.

"The interesting part is not that Debian can be upgraded. The interesting part is what this says..."

The interesting part would be a text that's not the same than everyone else right now. Stop with the AI texts. It's unreadable. It's not engaging at all.
