I understand completely what you’re saying and I have considered it. I just don’t believe we’ll ever get to the point where a fully automated system produces all necessary goods for high standard of living without human labour required. Worse, even if we get to the point where significantly less labour is required, history informs us that the unemployed would very likely revolt and take power through violence. Especially because we won’t be able to go from the status quo to a state where we neutralize revolting people automatically in a short enough time frame for people to be caught by surprise and unable to revolt. Not to mention that a part of such a revolt would likely include the stoppage of work by people who work on, maintain and operate the automation. I think the most likely scenario as we go down this path would be the formation of militant labour unions that take power back from the rich and steer automation into producing for the majority. Whether we go away from capitalism through this change or reshape it, I don’t have a guess.

The rich are only rich because the money they possess can be exchanged directly or indirectly for people’s labour. Without it, the money is valueless and the rich cease to be. It’s also one reason why labour strikes are so effective and the rich have had to create militias to prevent them.

Plot twist: board replaces the whole exec layer with CEO AI, keeps the difference, gives nothing to the employees.

I’ve no idea to be honest.

Yes, and the workers risk nothing, or something like that. 😂

Start company.
Run it into the ground.
Go bankrupt.
Buy it back.

The worst case scenario is when you know you have something, you cannot find it after multiple raids, and you end up buying it again. Then of course you eventually find it during the course of doing something random.

That’s nice. I suppose you could do the same by printing a bunch of UUIDs on QR codes and add the UUIDs to the respective location in the system.
What I’m doing is even easier. I use an X-Y coordinate system. I assign a letter to a storage unit, e.g. a Kallax is assigned “A”. Then each bin horizontally is X and each bin vertically is Y in A:X:Y. Then fairly easily I can determine that the third bin on the second shelf is A:3:2. That’s short enough to type in a search field. It’s also easy enough to locate a shelf coming from A:X:Y. If the shelf has only one dimension, like a bunch of drawers, I use just one number. This system is fairly easy to learn and eliminates the need for physically tagging every bin or drawer. Doesn’t work for unstructured storage, like boxes on the floor or other shameful things that we all have. 😄

Any suggestions for alternatives while we’re at it?
I’m currently using Google Keep (don’t judge) with special title format and gotta move out of there.

It’s probably a bit of both, plus still functional memory.
- Comment on Friendly reminder that Tailscale is VC-funded and driving towards IPO 1 week ago:
What you want to look at is the size of the hate and the material reasons for it. And that’s fairly difficult to measure if you’re not paying close attention. Plex hate has been growing dramatically over the last few years because they materially changed their service. They began collecting data some time ago and now they are selling it unless you go and opt out. So the hate is much larger and louder for that reason. For me those last changes were the straw that made it clear we’re just one small push for profit away from my sailing habits getting sold to the American copyright lobby. So I’m currently trialling Jellyfin.
In addition as some have highlighted Jellyfin is markedly different from Plex or Emby in that it’s open source and if something happens to it, forking is the way out, which already happened since Jellyfin is a fork of Emby. Migrating from one open source project to its fork is usually trivial compared to migrating from a proprietary service to another one. And there’s no reasonable chance of my data ending up in the RIAA/MPAA’s hands. So the Plex -> Jellyfin switch everyone is doing is not merely switching to another horse. It’s more like switching to completely different vehicle that you can maintain indefinitely.

Sorry, C-2. 😄
- Comment on Using DNS4EU in North America 1 week ago:
I’m currently trying that but the proposed information sharing changes with the US in Bill C-5 change the calculus. I’m sure part of the push comes from the American copyright lobby.

Can you segregate connections between different nodes on the tailnet, like say node G and H can only talk to each other and no other nodes?
- Comment on Friendly reminder that Tailscale is VC-funded and driving towards IPO 2 weeks ago:
What do you mean by going in a similar way? Towards an IPO?
- Comment on Friendly reminder that Tailscale is VC-funded and driving towards IPO 2 weeks ago:
Not so much ire than awareness and planning so we don’t get caught pants down. I’ve been using them for 5 years, paid for it and have a pretty elaborate setup which supports services for family and friends. I’ve been happy so far, but will be decoupling from their infrastructure. No ire for them, just for the system. The system makes people and firms do what they do. 😄
- Comment on Friendly reminder that Tailscale is VC-funded and driving towards IPO 2 weeks ago:
Huh, I actually didn’t know this because I don’t use Windows/macOS/iOS. Somehow completely missed this.
- Comment on Friendly reminder that Tailscale is VC-funded and driving towards IPO 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, as I said, it’s a friendly reminder. I’m personally probably doing it this year. It’s entirely possible that enshittification could come even years from now. It all depends on how their enterprise adoption goes I think. The more money they make there, the longer the individual users are gonna be left unsqueezed.
- Comment on Friendly reminder that Tailscale is VC-funded and driving towards IPO 2 weeks ago:
Well not “the” backend server but “a” different backend server. As far as I know Headscale is a separate implementation from what Tailscale run themselves.
- Comment on Friendly reminder that Tailscale is VC-funded and driving towards IPO 2 weeks ago:
I think it would be cool if Tailscale made it into the enterprise arena.
I think they already have. Telus is on their list of clients.
- Comment on Friendly reminder that Tailscale is VC-funded and driving towards IPO 2 weeks ago:
Nah, DNS is separate and these features are indeed pretty great. I think Headscale can also do them.

If there’s no one who can replace you with someone else, if you don’t deliver profit growth that they expect, then there’s a chance for you to apply principle over profit because it’s up to you. Many if not most corporations however can and do replace corporate leadership that doesn’t deliver profit growth with one that does. In these circumstances, leadership can rarely put principle over profit without being replaced. Many if not most of us see the direct effects of this process on our lives, working to get ever more of our incomes and health. This process hasn’t stopped and hasn’t slowed down. The opposite. This is why you’re hearing us grinding against capitalism as we can see the system all around us grinding us down. This is why it’s likely you’ll keep hearing it and it’s likely gonna get louder. I might not have your product in my home. If I do, I might be very happy with it because you’re not trying to get as much money out of me as you can. However I am certain without checking that I have Unilever, Kraft, Nestle, PepsiCo, Google and so on, and I know they are. You probably do too and they’re probably skinning you just as much.

Nice to hear your experience with Nebula. I considered it when I went with Tailscale years ago. Now you gotta migrate off of lemm.ee as it’s shutting down soon. :D
- Comment on Friendly reminder that Tailscale is VC-funded and driving towards IPO 2 weeks ago:
if I setup Headscale on my network, I would have to open a port on my router to connect to it right?
The way I understand it is:
I would have to open a port on my router to connect to it right? Yes
if I setup Headscale with some cloud provider, could they theoretically go and use the setup to get to my home network? If they are able to authorize their own node to your Headscale server, then their node gets on your network. If they take over that node, they might also be able to access your network, either by changing Headscale’s config to auth another node or perhaps if the Headscale node is part of the network, which it might be, I don’t recall. But I think that’s immaterial. If someone takes over the Headscale machine, they can get on your network either way.

Just looked at NetBird, it looks suspiciously similar to Tailscale in what it does except they also got an open-source control server. They have self-hosting doc right in their web site. Looks interesting. Can’t find much about the company other than it’s based in Berlin and it’s currently private - Wiretrustee UG.
