Do you mean compelling them to operate on a completely open source basis?
If you mean as in government owned/controlled, considering the primary thieves are US corporations, that would be the equivalent of the american government laundering stolen goods and compounding the theft from the rest of the world.
Your arguments would carry more weight and might even be worth debating if you could make them objectively without attempts at petty insults, and pretentions of victimhood. As it stands, you’re just kinda predictable and boring. Moving on…
Never said they were doung the right thing, just pointing out that if the behaviour warrants complaint, then complaint shoud be levied agaisnt everyone behaving that way.
But hey, you keep on with your black and white opinions.
Assuming you are in a western nation, There is a degree of legitimacy to be taken with the fact that China are far less capable of weaponising that data against you personally, than the US
Chinese ev bus behaves like every John Deere tractor, Tesla, amazon ring doorbell, windows pc, mac, smart tv, iphone and android device , and probably every other car made since 2020.
“But China bad” is getting pretty old and frail in comparison to the domestic and international predations and privacy invasions of US tech businesses and government
Interesting idea. If i subscribe to a streaming service for one month, i can save 31 days * 24 hours of content for later viewing. That would keep ke going quite a while since i only have the time to watch tv for a couple of hours per night…
Be careful with --delete if you automate the rsynch, include a safety check that the source drive is mounted correctly and is not empty. Wouldnt want a drive failure to be read as empty and delete everyrhing on the target…
I started in August. Running docker containers on ubuntu server lts minimal, on a ryzen 3 3200g with 16gb ram.
Running:
The domain has no website and no open ports, so Caddy handles routing and automated tls certification via api. External access only via tailscale, per user and per device approval process. Split horizon dns so domain names resolve direct routes to server on lan, and via tailnet from outside.
500GB nvme OS drive rsynched nightly to a second matched nvme in the server. HDD data drives backed up using rsynch to matching sized drives in a DAS unit. Script dumps romm and seafile databases to hdd before rsynch Git pulls to data drive, captured in backup and Syncthing to separate device.
Parallel Pihole and Unbound on a RPi5. RPi5 is primary dns for the lan to spread load, but the config master is the server, RPi is kept in sync with a one way feed from the main server using Syncthing.
Looking into adding openclaw and ollama to play with, maybe use to monitor the server a bit more proactively. Need to plan out permissions and security so nothing dumb happens.
No auto updates thanks. 😅 I’ve just reset all my compose files to pin versions today after an unintended mariadb update cost me hours to repair. I’ll look into dockhand though. Was unimpressed at portainer’s announcement that new version wont have a community edition. Portainer is really just an ‘at a glance’ view for me since i try to do all the compose and troubleshooting stuff in terminal. Wud will probably become a thing i just review every few weeks to make sure i dont get too adrift from latest.
I ought to look into a unified dashboard as i dont have easy visibility or things like disk usage, sheduled backup success etc that id like to see alongside the container status and beszel activity graphs.
Im still quite new to it all though.
Portainer, beszel, and Whats up docker
Mint is always my go to safe suggestion.
I dony think its a terrible future that we all get our own Jarvis to help us be a little more Tony Stark. But if those jarvis replicas are all either open to or controlled by anyone but the user its simply not a viable future. If they ae open to or controlled by dystopian oligarchs like zuckerberg, then … “fuck no” is the only rtional response.
If the living room remote control experience is needed, flirc and a skip remote is great too. Used that for years with kodi.
So microslop are using their drm to control the digital rights people are permitted to have over the discs they bought and paid for.
This still kills the secondhand games market, it still pushes everyone into a digtial only future that is controlled by the corporations.
How is this being written as some sort of success story?
I dont object to a digital future; my music and video discs have all been copied to digital files but those are my files, my legal right to create backups of my property and to use those backups on whatever damn device i choose to.
A digital future where the consumer has no control over their content is not something to be celebrated, even if it sweeps up a few old discs aling rhe way. Without microslops drm, people could simply copy their disc contents and “have digital”…
Never liked the idea of talking to a remote, and found the massive netflix button on my sony remote really offensive.
I’ve happily used a third party universal remote instead.
For some time now I think its been the case that frontier models perform worse (or at least more inconsistently) at procedural activity.
You are probably right, though it is depressing to consider the lack of common recognition for Huxley
Not just soma, the censorship of the different, the unavailability of inconvenient history or information is a direct parallel to the echo chamber bubbles of social media, then constant advertising, that anything new must be more expansive, complex, and require more equipment that the pre-existing alternative.
I think we worried too much about one book and not enough about the other. 1984 seems to be coming now that the BNW prepared the population into distracted acquiesence but where does that then lead? Do we become the eloi after that?
I find the psychosocial parallels fascinating. Sorry if it seems a bit tinfoil…
Third mistake. He forgot to tell us that his 1984 was the sequel to Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World… we could have avoided this if we didnt become mindless consumers.
Hopefully this bullshit tactic moves us closer to a post american internet and corporate action to reduce reliance on US tech
US tech has been thinly disguised spware for a long time, no we can upgrade that to ransomware.
