Sometimes, when I am all alone i like to fantasize...

that hard drive prices return to normal and think about all the things i can build.

silliness aside, i honestly sit there and plan it out. i wish i pulled the trigger and started earlier. i actually bought two mini pcs before this mess and have one setup running proxmox. o have this beautiful jellyfin -> jellyseer -> radarr/sonarr -> sazbd -> gluetun -> newsreader setup on proxmox and i founf 1 8tb wd red plus on sale that i put in a ugreen nas running truenas and its filling up quickly.

i wont move to nextcloud until i get a second drive for mirroring. i still have to find a place to backup those future files as well.

there is not really a point tp this post except i know people here feel my pain. how i dream of buy a few 12 tb drives.

for now i find stuff and put price alerts on them. o have tried ebay but i dont always get what i pay for. like buying wlanlisting that says wd red plus cmr and getting a wd red (non plus) smr.

i fantasize about the cool rack setup i could build. right now everything, jellyfin stack, home assistant, glance dashboard, pteradactyl, netbird , anf any vm i want to play with all on one proxmox mini pc. next comes books

sorry for the rant but maybe you can relate

my knee jerk reaction was thinking the same as you but this very paticular case, i am not sure. i havent made up my mind.

lets talk about opposite ends and then talk about snapchat

  1. if a person is sitting in mcdonalds saying they want to shoot up a school, we wouldnt think it weird if someone called the authorities. in fact peoples lives have been saved because someone overheard something

  2. in contrast, a private conversation on signal should never be read and everyone should stop using it if it is read.

now snap chat is neither a public place or an encrypted communication app. it falls in between. it is a social media app. would you be worried if it was facebook? i keep thinking about it. why shouldnt snapchat report it? keep on mind that i have never used snapchat, facebook, or instagram and i thought snapchat was basically for sending pictures. (i am older). but, honest question, why would people expect privacy on snapchat? again, i havent used it and not as “hip”, so i am genuinely asking and this isnt a loaded question

he is not saying the ceos are markist but the llms. i dont think they are markist at all but he doesnt understand what liberal is. even elon’s edgy ai will correct elon’s twitter posts.

these people want a facist ai. but ai is made up of the world. these people will train it on science and get mad when it spits out science.

but seriously, musk is the most confidently incorrect himan on the planet, warching grok correct musk is good tv. i think reddit has a sub devoted to it.

you are 100% correct

i question if the author even has open source projects. codeberg is designed for open source projects. i dont have open source but i have used azure devops and bitbucket, i could use gitlab but i am picking places based on project/issue management. but the point is, there are many options, codeberg is for open source and they have that mindset. every design decision they make ia for open soirce projects
