I love the idea of taking on a monopoly, but I don’t like that, without regulation, it has a low chance of success, and the consumer gets to suffer as the monopoly fights back.

Entwistle boo.

The pricing scheme here is designed to gouge businesses for equal or more than the traditional non-cloud equivalent. Which happens to be completely unaffordable. Imagine buying a new enterprise grade server for your home setup.

You understand that global economic stability relies on people gambling their lives on a dream, right? Well, that and pure willful ignorance.

What would the journalists do? Try to explain that to people, and that nobody has figured out a way to fix it yet?

I know your joking but in case people don’t get it: rich comes from luck, not from hard work.

Don’t work any harder than you have to, thinking it helps. It doesn’t change the statistical chance of you becoming rich.

Many people will say you can help along the luck. Those people are dumb.

So I guess if I want to pay for my VPS with crypto I am a criminal? Good work cyber sleuths, you solved the problem!

This is the hosting equivalent of racial profiling and this firm in Texas should be ashamed. It is not good cyber security work.

At best they’ve identified something everyone else already knew and witch hunting Cloudzy (even if they are 100% malicious,) provides zero value.

Monopoly busting. Ecosystem lock-in. Right to repair. Software patent reform. Privacy and AI regulation.

What do lawmakers even do these days anyway?

Resume field would get an api endpoint that only returns a json resume, and only if the request header is application/json. And the json resume would have embedded json.

We should just use second notation for everything.

I’ll be there in 5 min? I’ll be there in 2 or 3 hundo!

See you tommorow? See you in in 86K!

Next week? About half a Megasec!

Doesn’t Megasecond sound better than Fortnite?

I mean, yea. Happy to have AI as a player in the free market, the problem is that it requires a $0 salary so, kind of unbeatable as far as capitalism is concerned.

Why pay $1 to make $2, when you can pay $0 to make any number over zero? It scales infinitely, unlike the planets resources or human tolerance.

DAE feel like they woke up one day recently and “AI” suddenly has the answer to EVERY SINGLE PROBLEM EVER? Yet, nothing is getting noticeably better?

“AI” doesn’t have to work a dead end job to feed its family, or turn to alcohol because it’s lonely and scared of being forgotten. It’s training data is a curated version of the human experience based on the Internet!

It’s playing human instead of being human and ALL of its solutions will assume that’s “normal.”

Imagine a five star general googling “should I attack this country?” That’s silly right? Well that’s what’s happening. It’s just being wrapped in a way that makes it look novel.

These are algorithms designed to mimic humans. When faced with any actual controversy they must be persuaded to answer in an “acceptable” and predetermined manner.

The golden rule.

Someone with a degree weigh in here. All these big tech companies are buying 100% sustainable energy, reducing their carbon footprint YOY, but it doesn’t seem to be making a difference on global GHG.

What accounts for the increase? Purely population increase plus consumption?

 

Disclaimer. I'm doing it anyway.

Long time hacker, and ambi-os user. Latest sexyness is my new macbook. After getting everything setup the way I want it, I start seeing buzz for Nix and got excited, but also bummed out that I didn't start from scratch.

I like new stuff, figuring it out and solving problems, but I also hate broken and unstable stuff. Doubly so when you go to use something you spent time setting up and it fails. Triply on having to switch your daily driver or setup any new system with all of your crazy custom setup.

  • How much pain will I suffer trying to replace brew with nixpkg?
  • Currently I use podman to build containers, should i switch to nix?
  • I use whatever virtual environment is appropriate for the task. Venv, etc. Seems like nix can do a better job?
  • What's the experience like with VSCode?

I am most excited at the prospect of using home-manager. The 'idea' of portability for my profile is pretty nice. I'd like to see it work across osx/win/linux and all the things be the same up to my browser and maybe some other cross-platform common things.

Don't roast me for not being hyper-specific here. I am not an uber-dev. I'd say I lean more into security and dev-ops. Happy to elaborate on anything.

I really want to hear others' experiences. I see the upside and, like I said, I'm going to take on the challenge anyway, but will I end up regretting it?

 

v.0.0.6

v0.0.4 - Per requests and concerns: Defaults changed and options added to prevent overloading servers, hitting rate-limiting, filtering to top x communities, etc!

Thanks for your support!
