Actually both profit and debt are just global loss.

Sell a forest to let a company turn it in firewood for sale but it doesn’t sell so the company make a loss.

In the end nothing of value got created but the temporary heat of the logs that got sold. For the profit that is now used for a new casino or famous art, the world has lost a forest, a local contributor of healthy air.

All life that consumes life generates loss. To live is to destroy. That is inevitable.

Maybe we should aim to embrace that fact rather than hide from it. Hold the knowledge in 2 hands.

Because the problem is not that to live we must destroy, its the excessive disrespectful way we go on with it noting the profits and value without the damage we have done to obtain those numbers.

Maybe public display of loss and debt, proof of how little cost there is for the creation of a measurable value could be the new winning.

Once we start counting loss and not profit or economy will make more sense, as money to first have and then buy with becomes obsolete in contrast to measuring how much damage you have done compared to your peers. Socially, winning means being able to brag with how much you can do with so little.

No more bloating numbers for the appearance of success, but actual success in showing how creative and efficient we can be to get the most life out of our species.

(This is a wip btw)

Uhm actually ddg is just bing with marketing, does not block microsoft trackers, giving them a monopoly on that data. Use Searxng if you actually want no trackers.

And like. The economy isn’t real. You need to stop getting so worked up about these semantics. Debt isn’t a real thing, money is not a real thing, its all just psychotic monkey scribbles. Made up shit.

The only type of debt that does exist, is the one humanity has towards earth. A debt that exits in the labour, resources and energy that it will take to balance our planet out so it can continue to co-exist with us.

Sorry, just trolling by acting “stoned teenager”

Capitalism is truly the grift that keeps on grifting.

How do you end up in a system where essentially:

acquiring an organizers to profit from it, requires its workers to produce more additional wealth to afford gifting themselves to you in the past.

The entire add industry has been collecting preferences, likes, dislikes for decades. Its one of the most profitable pieces of information

No data is as useful as what makes you personally engage.

Clarification, google (and amazon) are giving anthropic acces to some of their chips (compute).

This mirrors Microsofts funding in openai, which was mostly just azure credit.

Same thing with ai companies investing with free generation tokens.

These companies aren’t providing money just sharing some resources that they would otherwise exploit for profit.

They are giving each other monopoly money blow jobs and the result is headlines and securing coordinated market domination.

This is not just chatgpt and also not caused by a recent changed.

all llms seems to love this pattern and i agree once you know about it you start seeing it everywhere.

You forgot an “/s” because yes that is a fair criticism toward google.

Banning this game under that logic would be just as dumb as banning most of the internet and if their rules where enforced consistently then that is what they should do.

But the contextual key here is that they should keep the game on their store and maintain consistently enforced guidelines of what is actually not allowed.

Image? The entire site feels ai guided.

I am concerned but is there enough information here to know it’s bad?

Braves Adblock is generally very good as i recall. Traditional adblockers block content that is already downloaded while brave blocks it from using bandwidth at all. (Please correct if wrong)

Its the other toxic and malicious crap it does and the far right sympathies that are its real problems.

I could see corporations take over the mainstream public web but the open networking tools will persist to create a new open web besides it.

If the “darkweb” does one thing very well its demonstrating how there will always be a way.

Part of the reason is to to get controlled competition.

Same with google being the largest donator to firefox. If they wouldn’t do this it would create a hole that could motivates many others to create new innovation that could become a threat to them.

Also so they can deflect anti monopoly laws and also because they benefit from open source themselves.

Card against humanity… maybe…

Free movie editing on windows peaked on fucking vista.

Meta ai not bothering with user consent is very on brand. It learned from the best.

Disgusting for sure but thats a really bad argument to make something illegal. It’s the same rhetoric used to ban queer sexualities.

The generative ai is often based on real stuff and regularly ends up being deepfakes of real people who are affected, thats not victimless.

I am not talking about people who have easy acces to processed foods.

I don’t have exact stats nor know how big% of the world that is but people going to bed hungry and being underweight is absolutely still happening.

If that 60% of people who aren’t weren’t occupied with working hard not to starve they might take offense to your use of “we” (Satire)

I would still consider myself a noob but i do feel accomplished enough to answer this properly.

Hardware depends on your budget. It does not need to be bleeding edge either, i would focus on a good server case that makes it easy to upgrade over time and maybe fits a few harddrives if you don’t plan on having a nas.

Also make sure to check how much sata connections your motherboard can handle, using an m.2 slots may occupy some of the physical sata connections.

I highly, highly recommend proxmox for an OS.

You can set up every different service into its own lxc container, its wonderful to know you can experiment with whatever and everything else will be unaffected and just keep working. Within lxc things can just run using docker (though this is officially not recommended it works fine). The resource sharing between lxc containers is excellent. Taking snapshots a breeze. And when an lxc is not enough you can easily spin up some vm with whatever distro or even windows also. Best server-choice i made ever!

The zfs format for your storage pool is also very good. And you definitely want redundancy, redundancy makes it so x amount of drives can fail and the system just keeps running like normal while you replace the broken drive, otherwise a single drive failing ruins all your data.

Unless you make every drive its own pool with specific items that you backup separately but thats honestly more troublesome then learning how to setup a pool.

How you want a pool and how much redundancy is a personal choice but i can tell you how i arranged mine.

I have 5 identical drives which is the max My system can handle. 4 of them are in a pool with a raidz1 configuration (equivalent to raid-5) this setup gives me 1 drive of redundancy and leaves me 3 drives of actual usable space.

I could have added the fifth drive in the pool fo more but i opted not too, to protect my immich photons against complete critical failure. This fifth drive is unmounted when not used.

Basically my immich storage are in a dataset, which you can think of as a directory on your pool that you can assign to different lxc to keep things separate.

Every week a script will mount the fifth drive, rsync copy my immich dataset from the pool onto it. Unmount the drive again. Its a backup of the most important stuff outside of the pool.

This drive can also be removed from the cases front in an emergency, which is part of why I recommend spending some time finding a case that fits your wants more then worrying about how much ram.

Best of luck!

First I hear of if but a quick scroll shows it mostly to organize an existing collection so you would still need to download.

I put them straight into jellyfin which works fine for me.

I wont be home till quite a few hours.

But also its general boilerplate enough an ai can help you get you one according to your own preferences.

There are also a number of examples online.
