Preach! I think about this every day. I place my faith in decentralized federated open source protocols to liberate us. Create something that outsmarts them and can’t be corrupted.

People like to hate cryptocurrencies for all sorts of reasons but just imagine migrating to a different monetary system that has built in guard rails (would have to be built with protection from 1% in mind). Money is what maketh the world go round, take that away from them and they’re powerless.

sturlabragason,

Yeah Whisper is really good. It can also deal with a bunch of non english languages.

sturlabragason,

Should’ve explained it to me man. I don’t want to go 4 links deep.

sturlabragason,

I’ve been eyeing Proton Family as a replacement to my 5TB Google One…

sturlabragason,

The book analyzes the elements that lead different nations to succeed or fail, in the author’s opinion, focusing on demographic, geographic, and historic factors. It asserts that the period from the 1950s to the 2020s represented a peak period of rapid economic development and innovation; meanwhile, the present (2022) and future would be associated with a rather abrupt slowing of such developments. In this view, deglobalization leads to deindustrialization, deurbanization, and even depopulation.

How should I do backups?

I have a server running Debian with 24 TB of storage. I would ideally like to back up all of it, though much of it is torrents, so only the ones with low seeders really need backed up. I know about the 321 rule but it sounds like it would be expensive. What do you do for backups? Also if anyone uses tape drives for backups I am...

sturlabragason,

Shit I’ve never heard of Hetzner but their pricing makes de-Googling all my decades of family photos a viable option! Thanks!

sturlabragason,

Same.

I’m switching everthing over to federated, self-hosted, decentralized, open source…

It’s a brave new old school world!

sturlabragason,

When I was about 5-6 I had fever and couldn’t sleep. I lived in a apartment complex and my mom had the neighbour from the next apartment over for coffee so I was sitting in the neighbours apartment while they had the doors open into the hall. Well, there I was, sitting alone in the dark, watching some sappy teens have a heart to heart while suddenly the earth opens under one of them and it gets brutally eaten the fuck alive while the other one screams in panic and tries to rescue it. Had some unforgettable nightmares that night.

Fucking Tremors man.

sturlabragason,

Yeah I found out the same when I moved back to Iceland. Buying a used car? Renting an apartment? Staying up to date on the parents groups in school, kids sports, any events by any business or group? Contacting any person?

Being forced to hand over all my personal information just to do any of the above really doesn’t sit well with me 😑

5 ml of Benadryl 1 hour before bed might knock you out?

Edit: My comment was not all that well thought out. I just recently observed my kid sleep instantly once the cough medicine kicked in. As others have pointed out, don’t use it consistently, could cause dementia and is super dangerous in high doses.

Do drugs responsibly kids!

40-year-old homeowner says economy doesn’t add up: ‘I’m making the most money I’ve ever made, and I’m still living paycheck to paycheck’ (fortune.com)

“There’s this wild disconnect between what people are experiencing and what economists are experiencing,” says Nikki Cimino, a recruiter in Denver.

sturlabragason,

That’s awesome! But be careful, GPT4 might probably be able to make this. I’d suggest pasting the recipe back in and ask it to validate out loud and show its reasoning and math (if any). Then you could get one that works🙂

sturlabragason,

I believe the Lithuanians won’t like this.

Menstruation cycle tracking app breached users' privacy, B.C. class-action lawsuit alleges (bc.ctvnews.ca)

VANCOUVER - A British Columbia Supreme Court judge says a class-action lawsuit can move forward over alleged privacy breaches against a company that made an app to track users’ menstrual and fertility cycles. The ruling published online Friday says the action against Flo Health Inc. alleges the company shared users’ highly...

sturlabragason,

Anyone have a non paywalled or more info on the subject? All signs point towards an impending global war and I’d like to be as prepared as possible.

What an amazing feat of incompetence! They’d be better off just using Signal

They’d be quantum proof as well 😅 signal.org/blog/pqxdh/

sturlabragason,

Yeah def this is what they should’ve been using.

sturlabragason,

Haha if im not mistaken this might be about that guy saying wtf github why no exe? In sure someone has the link.
