Your ‘impressed’ position was ill-informed and poorly judged. Now you are just making pedantic arguments instead of accepting reality. That’s your choice, i’ll waste no more time on you.

First up you’re just plain wrong about abuse of office.

Just a few examples:

Germany allows personal criminal liability for senior managers who breach their duty of care, and companies can also face fines if the offense enriches or was intended to enrich the company.

Japan criminalizes “special breach of trust” by executives, punishable by up to 10 years in prison.

South Africa holds company directors and managers criminally liable for cartel activity.

United States: CEOs and CFOs can face criminal penalties—including fines up to $5 million and up to 20 years in prison—for willful misconduct in certifying financial reports. but I’ll let you challenge that last one, because it is:

• the relevant jurisdiction for Nvidia, and
• a banana republic with a shaky track record of legal enforcement

If you think Nvidia got to be #1 honestly and then just made a couple of mistakes recently then you’ve been grossly misled. There has been a longstanding pattern of misbehaviour with very public markers going back consistently to at least 2018 where they were caught on financial disclosures/misreporting and anticompetitive business practices.

I doubt it is coincidence that the company position and stock price that impresses you so much started going up around 2018: https://stockanalysis.com/stocks/nvda/history/

Impressed is not a word I would personally choose to describe a man whose actions clearly amount to insider trading, securities fraud, federal bribery, abuse of office, breach of US national security, breach of US sanctions, and willing, knowledgeable participation in a multinational multibillion dollar value smuggling network.
…and that barely touches him personally presiding over circular financing lunacy on a scale that makes the Enron look like a rounding error.

No… impressed is not the word - what everyone should be is apoplectic. It is outrageous that quality journalism dating which has been exposing these things for over 2 years now (notable examples from Ed Zitron and Steve Burke are easy to find), has been consciously ignored by the mass media who only woke up when the words “Chinese”, “spy”, and “sex” could be put in one headline. Hopefully we’ll see if the US justice system, international economists, and international trade politicians have woken up too over the next few days.

Im glad someone else noticed that

Can confirm it works. I have jf over tailscale.

I use my own domain but could be done using tailscale urls if you dont want to deal with certificates, split horizon dns, etc.

As it was before AI. Local is the answer when shared is at the mercy of interests antagonistic to the users.

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.

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:

• Jellyfin
• RomM
• Kiwix
• Seafile
• Beszel
• Portainer
• WUD
• Pi-hole
• Unbound
• Caddy
• Syncthing
• Tailscale

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.

For me, its just a board that knows which imagea i am running and tells me if there is a newer one so that i know how out of date i am 😂

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

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.

For some time now I think its been the case that frontier models perform worse (or at least more inconsistently) at procedural activity.

Sign me up for a graphene razr ultra please and thank you. Dont have any issue with self install if it doesnt ship that way

They killed assistant and claimed the unwilling transfer as growth. Shitty journalism or a shitty headline? Either way bad …

Home had 4 windows machines a year ago. Now 1 windows machine, a raspberry pi, and 4 linux machines… reckon theres still a real move under the data. Ai may be part but its not all or most.

Whether or not you can find someone based on their phone number is based on a user setting. Each person chooses whether or not they can be found by their phone number.
Go to Settings - Privacy - Phone number.

Really though, this is an excuse more than a roadblock.

I find people oddly resistant to an additional message app, yet they gleefully download a new app at every carpark they visit. People are odd.
