Does anyone know a source to self host this localy? Seems like an amazing project.
- Comment on Are we truely prisoners of our upbringing? 4 days ago:
Our upbringing leaves huge impressions on us that help us shape who we become, but a prison implies a freedom you are kept away from.
If we had no upbringing whatsoever (how we get that would look like) would we have more potential?
Even if we could engineer the perfect adult body to be born as, would we retain our reality of unique individual lives or would we all become the same flavour of person?, limiting the range of what humans combined can experience (highs and lows).
I’d argue the restrictive prison is individual life itself, you can never become someone else that exists or experience things as different species. You can only really experience your own perspective of lived experiences.
The people around you are modifiers they may enable you, hinder you but others are never and never have been in charge of your person, regardless of how much they/parents may pretend to be.
- Comment on What social class would that be 6 days ago:
Wrong community but i want to give this a fair assessment because of how many don’t want to unity against the rich thinking they are it and would have to live with less.
This scenario is not ruling class.
Summarised its wealthy business owner that owns plural properties.
This can be considered upper middle class, or low upper class. And is a good example of how little most people really have. The Middle class that most people believe they belong to is basically just business owners nowadays, almost everyone who is “employee” and not owner is lower class.
The actual rich, 1% upper class which will look at this family and person as dirt.
The 1% upper class does not just stay in a 5 star hotel as if it was note worthy expense. Their accommodations are simply arranged and provided.
They’d laugh at “owns a resort” because thats just a single asset to put on their portfolio of ownerships.
They don’t consider whether or not something is egypt because they are free to fly wherever they want.
The rich will swallow this wealthy person and family whole if their greed finds them.

lies to themselves
Drug addiction will do that, and alcohol is a hard one.
- Comment on Apple announces more ads are coming to App Store search results 1 week ago:
To be more technical correct, all ideals go out of the window the moment a shareholders frowns.
Apple has been one of the wealthiest countries for years, they don’t need money, they can’t be doing this just for money.
They are doing it, to get more money yes, but only in order to make the angle of a line go up so they can sell a comfortable illusion to the people keeping them in charge of the available unimaginable mass of wealth.

- Comment on Asking the right questions... 3 weeks ago:
I like to use dashes myself but the combination of overuse with other tells does make me suspicious.
Which isn’t bad, even an intellectual can write things wrong.
I didn’t think dashes where out of place here, but i did get a real ai vibe of the last paragraph. Is this something Bernie is really considering or is something to round up a generated list of scary scenarios. (Which are all existing valid concerns still)

I wish more projects did stuff like this.
It just feels silly and unprofessional while being seriously useful. Exactly my flavour of software, makes the web feel less corporate.

I assume this some kind of philosophical metaphor but as someone who isn’t into random acts of animal cruelty i have to ask for the answer.
Why not help?
- Comment on Plex’s crackdown on free remote streaming access starts this week - Ars Technica 4 weeks ago:
There are custom themes out there that change the interface.
Right click -> identify-> Title name, has yet to fail me.
Its been a long time since i used plex so I can’t say how much “easier” its over there but compared to the days before streaming this little upfront work takes less time then going to a physical store to rent.

It’s not a complaint, just being honest.
- Comment on Racism is for poor people. Rich folks have classism. 1 month ago:
Too long; only read half.
They’re not mutually exclusive.
Rich people can still be very racist, they just don’t need to express it directly because they can hide it behind classism most of the time.
In a way classism is a way of thinking extrapolated from racism similarly to the aristocracy. By pretending they are a completely different superior race within their ethnic group who stands above all other ethnic groups.

I am well aware, the first sentence of the person you replied to is a direct responds to the article, the context was not far off.
But sorry if my reply bothered you, my reply was just as much intended for the random scroller/reader and nothing personal.
- Comment on The Big Short Guy Just Bet $1 Billion That the AI Bubble Pops 1 month ago:
Um… You are aware you made your comment about ai being much more then just llm within context of a discussion on wether the ai bubble will burst or not?
Cause that’s what this post/thread is about.
The ai bubble will burst nonetheless. I was also playing on the “sir, this is a Wendy’s” meme. In a way joking that your comment is actually not relevant to the discussion.
- Comment on The Big Short Guy Just Bet $1 Billion That the AI Bubble Pops 1 month ago:
Once the ai bubble breaks for llms it will drag general machine learning down with it once panic sets in. People wil dump any stock that even faintly smells like ai.
Some actually valuable business may disappear, on the other hand those that survive and are undervalued may actually be a good investment opportunities.
This is not financial advice, to gamble your money is dumb.

Can you give me some channel recommendations cause my main struggle is that I don’t branch out.
The few channels I do follow I have for followed for years. Veritasium, Steve Mold, Kurtzegesagt.
Some of those might have partreon/flowplane but that’s to rich for my blood.
Especially good tech/science oriented channels i’d love to know whats out there but I don’t want to follow algorithm recommendations.

That’s a bit quick to start shooting people with a ban don’t you think?
I thought they where just trying to be funny.
I have the option enabled where I can see how often i up/down voted specific users and I have been positively suprised on the amount of times i encounter people who I have disagreed with, in agreement on different topics.

Ok so first, congrats on your archievement!!
I am involved with very similar things, writting scripts to yt-dlp the last good content creators to my jellyfin server and using a custom invidious setup. (Aided by claude).
I also sympathise with your vote remove scripts, I am altering websites to my own preference similarly.
I was going to talk about how invidious is still not true freedom from YouTube, just its crap website.
But then you never mentioned invidious in your actual comment? How does your daily setup actually look. What do you do with content that Is still exclusively YouTube?
And a big point of critique, that bold end quote, its a hyper common AI structure statement of “it’s not this, - it’s that” ai does it all the bloody time, it’s cringe and makes me feel sick. Ai is horrible at this kind of rallying message.

The handful of decent cops in the uk and europe: “Am i joke to you?”
Obviously they still have plenty of incorporated rot but some countries actually train police to de-escalate and are held to standards.
It also helps that gun violence is exceedingly rare when guns are regulated well. Having to fire a bullet can be a legal a nightmare for a cop because of the paperwork and immediate investigation into wether it was appropriate for them to do so.
- Comment on Is Twingate good for remote access to a selfhosted Nextcloud server? 1 month ago:
Honestly not having a static public ip address would be a dealbreaker for me, reason to change isp.
But thats not always an option.
My old isp got a new ip every full modem reboot and a way i used to circumvent this is with duckdns. It’s a free dns service i used before i had money to pay for my own domain.
If i recall correctly they have a desktop tool that connects to your account that scans for your current dynamic public ip and then updates it for your freesubdomainname.duckdns.org which is what you use to connect.

Well said.
Did they ever give any reason why they even consider it an acceptable thing to do?
Imagine making an art piece to be displayed in a museum only to find they allowed an interim with next to zero experience to paint over it.

I never heard if twingate but i see no reason why not to selfhost Wireguard.
Its a proven open source vpn.
As far as a little research went. Tailgate is proprietary software and caters to enterprises, it has some open source alternatives that have a similar functionality. Most if them using Wireguard under the hood. Look for tailspin/headspin or netbird.

Supposedly Australian aboriginal groups have lived in the same region for 40k+ years.
They have regional consistency, genetic continuity over which culture gradually evolved each generation.
Does that count?
