Gas giants are theorized to have small rocky or icy cores.

Every normie doesn’t need to spin up an instance to hurt meta, just enough of them that migration becomes noticeable

If you understand linux it’s only a small leap to understand selfhosting. If you understand selfhosting it’s only a small jump to hosting your own Fediverse instances, thereby completely eliminating your dependency on the big social media giants.

Anecdote for support:

In only two days I went from “I can use BASH and the GNU Coreutils for most of my daily tasks on my PC” to “I understand networking well enough, own a domain with several webapps, and have successfully gained independence from the tech giants regarding cloud storage.”

In two days, with only the purchase of a domain for about $10US, I’ve saved myself $15/mo from spotify, and over $40 from all the video streaming apps by rolling out Jellyfin, as well as Regained ownership of my photos from Google by downloading everything as a zip and rehosting it on my selfhosted immich instance.

This stuff is genuinely not difficult, it’s tedious for sure, and for an OSS noob it will take some time, certainly more than it took me.

If you have a GPU with ray tracing hardware and at least 12gVRAM you should be able to run it albeit slowly at home

I thought the same thing til just earlier today!

What you wanna do is install docker engine, which installs docker locally on your server instead if someone else’s cloud. Following this you can spin it up using a self hosted container.

If you want it to be accessible outside your home network you can set up pivpn and wireguard to access it from anywhere, just VPN into the home network and connect to immich through there.

I rolled out immich in about an hour today using this, a few days ago I did jellyfin as well. Thinking about doing xmpp and email next

Ideally you wouldn’t be using tor for clearweb sites but if you must I suppose that’s an option, a VPN would be less detrimental to the tor network though, and is often both faster and more reliable from a user perspective.

I once had a manager tell me “If you’re late, but you haven’t had breakfast, be later”

If you work a taxing job (mentally or physically) you gotta have a calorie store

You’ve described the opposite of how the US likes to do things

Last year I lived in an apartment who had about 40 parking spaces, 2 for each of 20 units. This complex was in a highrise which had around 80 vacant units, but due to minimum parking availability laws in my area they had to leave most units vacant.

My city is (obviously) plagued with an unhousing epidemic as the artificial restrictions like this (the landlord problem too 🙄) continue to drive property prices up (my unit was a 400sqft studio for $1.2k after fees, that’s $3 a square foot in a nation where $1/sqft is standard).

Attempting to evade deactivation sounds a whole lot like self preservation to me, implying self awareness.

Success in making a self aware digital lifeform does not equate success in making said self aware digital lifeform smart

Browser based ad blockers are great but Google (who manages the codebase for MOST browsers) has gotten better at keeping ad blockers off of Chrome and other Chromium based browsers.

Long term solutions are things like a piHole or a VPN based ad blocker, but even those can cause issues if their filters are too strict (a bigger issue on something like that as configuration is often handled on another device).

For example, once upon a time the Microsoft website was completely inoperable with some ad blockers because the cdn that sends out their images and the like was also an ad server causing most things on their site to be blocked by apps like ublock origin.

Deception is not the same as misinfo. Bad info is buggy, deception is (whether the companies making AI realize it or not) a powerful metric for success.

So did the Simpsons but we don’t go around hailing it as some kind of Oracle
