They would lose me, if I had an alternative. In my neighborhood it’s cable or 1mbps DSL. Neighborhoods across the street to the east and west both have nice and cheap fiber but my neighborhood is older than one and less affluent than the other.

Pretty sure they already have been. I’m convinced more money makes you more stupid.

It’s a lot of fun, but not an internet replacement yet. They did just come out with a new dual band that has enough bandwidth to do something useful. Can’t wait to give it a try.

Still very worth setting up. I have a node that runs in my attic, and a few that I can take around with me. I can get good single most anywhere in my neighborhood, and I have enough nodes nearby that I can pretty much communicate with people all over the metro area (I’m in the twin cities).

Why doesn’t anyone see this for what it is. They put monitoring for certain keywords but fucked up the code and it blocked some users through incompetence. They fixed the filters, but I guarantee they are sending reports to the White House…

I figure by then, it will all be part of some AI training set one day. Hopefully my shitty writing and bad opinions poison the shit out of it.

The rich are the problem, something needs to be done about them. I’m hungry.

Edit- ugh, embarrassing misspelling left up too long.

No idea what to say about this, or what it even is. But I’m sorry to hear it. I had a very similar situation as a kid, multiple divorces, used as a pawn in their fight over money. It’s rough, but I learned from their mistakes and have a strong marriage that works.

Nah, been great, getting married was the smartest thing I’ve ever done.

Exactly, the vision was flawless, it will all be blamed on the execution. The people who failed to build it will be held accountable though; departments of them…

Fucking awesome system we have here.

You think that’s bad, I got married in 2008.

Then again, I’ve done a lot in that time, 3 kids into it, including 2 teenagers…

Thanks, I’ll look there. I usually just go Amazon or Newegg (easy returns if bad) but I’m sure there are better deals out there.

I used to pay like $69 for them in the US. Looks like they add a hundred bucks or so to the price…

I’ve got 30tb or so made up of 4 and 10tb used drives. All I’ll buy anymore. In fact, I need to change out of of my parity drives. Hopefully used market is still somewhat affordable.

100%. I try to use open source wherever possible. If it does have to be closed/proprietary, I will only use software I can own, no subscriptions; and the only if I can get them working in Linux (wine has come SO far).

That said, I do still have a windows partition but only for job related stuff.

What a glorious future AI is heralding.

unless, I suspect, like me, you have a thick foundation of rock-solid cynicism that the AI simply will never penetrate

Do we know each other or something :).

Honestly great comment, couldn’t agree more.

Quit reading at:

…AI platform where autonomous coding agents…

But your comment made me go back and look out of disbelief. How does a person get this far down a rabbit hole?

Same. I adore my wife, fall more in love with her every day we’re together. It’s not always easy, but things that are worth it aren’t. Marriage is the best decision I ever made.

I did get married a little later than some, just had turned 30 the month before we tied the knot. Maybe taking my time and finding the right one helped, not sure. Just knew it was her almost right away.

It is, but I’m ready to officially throw in the towel and embrace the fact that running your own hardware is not much more than a hobby these days. I’ve preached and preached the value of multi or hybrid cloud, only for the people with money to pour it down the same hole time and time again.

I’ve always said IT is essentially an entirely CYA driven industry. Having someone to blame is more valuable for them than uptime, and if they can show their outages, even if the numbers suck, was not their fault (easy to do when all your competitors are down at the same time), it’s all good…

Update- lol, YouTube is currently down.
