The difference with the dot Com bubble is that we built the modern internet on it’s ruins, all that fibre that went into the ground and stayed dark is now lit up and we are all benefiting from it. The gpus and ram going into datacenters is a consumable resource that will be burned out and useless for hobbyists, these aren’t going to be the next gen of xeon chips hitting the market as soon as someone brings a cheap motherboard to market that sockets them…

I think nothing under the sun is new and we’ve all seen all this before. Specifically where I see a lot of parallels is with GPS hardware manufacturers and also Dropbox.

Back in the day Tom Tom and Magellan and Garmin ruled the world, then iPhone came out with maps and they evaporated. Dropbox was hugely successful and a revolutionary offering, until email providers offered the same thing for free and with more convenience.

The tech is super cool, and it’s only going to get better but don’t pay attention to the fools who run AI companies, they will go down and they will crash the economy. I would rather trust Chinese AI than anything clammy Sam Altman and Wario try to sell me on…

Any Canadian recommendations??

I’m in this boat too, my security is awful, bad practices everywhere, my solution: don’t let it go out in public…

GoPro was kinda washed… They had huge success early but they thoroughly over-saturated their own market and then stagnated in the face of competition. Maybe about a week ago announced they were now an AI/datacenter company…

Point is, if you slap an AI label on just about anything someone out there will give you money

Have you seen GoPros stock price in the last 72hrs?

That looks hot!

I’m planning on running towards the bright flash and hoping I end up part of the first wave of mass casualties…

I wouldn’t even hate low effort posts of racks or pure chaos builds made out of broken laptops and pizza boxes…

It doesn’t really need to be tedious… My notes are jokey, full of profanity, sarcasm, and self deprecating humor

for context, these are my personal notes for my personal machine. These will never be shared with anyone else, and nobody else has to try to read them or make sense of them (well… sometimes I make chatbot read my notes in order to train it on whatever I need help troubleshooting)

Before I started keeping a hot_log.txt file every single install of Linux I ever ran was a unique snowflake and no two systems were ever the same
