People here always want to run the software themselves first, but then the next day they want to pay someone else to host it. If you're running into people throwing security flags,…

If it were just a simple copy/paste job with the patch, that's one thing. But the whole image has been turned into AI slop, with certain items moved, changed, or excluded. This jus…
