This is him and his wife, so pretty realistic

Wikipedia is also backed by the engines of capitalism.
Don't trust the video but do your own research.
One year of donations is enough to run wiki for hundreds of years.
They get hundreds of millions in donations, 99% of that it just enriches the owners, not to run the site - Comment on [deleted] 6 days ago:
Sure Don't click the link, but do some research.
Tl:dr one year worth of donations is enough to keep them running for over 100 years.
The hundreds of millions in donations aren't going towards the site, it's just enriching the owners

I only really donate to Open-Source, I'm not saying give money to this youtuber, but watch the actual video.
Wikipedia isn't the good guy people make them out to be.

Spent the whole day looking at routers and switches, and I think I'm going with Unifi their prices are on par with the open source alternatives and they seem to just work no fuss, and I can run them fully locally and not depend on the cloud if I wanted.
I don't want to buy any hardware that can be taken away from me with a firmware push where I now need to pay a subscription to use my product. Wile that risk with Unifi doesn't seem to be zero, it seems close to zero.

Right now I'm struggling to figure out what hardware to buy The Zyxel XGS1210-12 seems perfect but it won't fit in a 10" rack

Thanks this was exactly the kind of info I was looking for

Mainly I like tinkering and building my own server and systems.
I'd like to have different VLAN's so that I can keep Home Assistant, sus wifi devices, my services, my personal network, and a guest network separate
I'll probably add more mini-PC's or hardware as time goes by, so it being future proof-ish would be great

- Comment on TIL about Android Translation Layer (ATL), a way to port Android apps to Linux Mobile 1 week ago:
This would be a game changer, like how Steam brought games to Linux, that could bring mobile apps to Linux.
I wish Linux mobile becomes a real option soon

All those that I like are taken

The age of the internet really left an impact.
My name has an accent in one of the letters, there is no way I'm going to give my kid a name like that, just because Computers. Would have loved to use name.surname more but yea both are common so there are thousands of us, never been able to do that. - Comment on What's your thoughts on this? 3 weeks ago:
Maybe not, but streaming an hour of 1080p also uses a lot of resources compared to AI

Thanks,
I hope that's not the case, but if it is they can keep it, I'm not going to support those kinds of practices - Submitted 3 weeks ago to selfhosted@lemmy.world | 17 comments

I can't remember where I first saw it, I quickly found this

Maybe not the best source, but tl:dr one ChatGPT prompt uses ~3watts including the training.
10min of 4k video streaming uses significantly more than a lot of prompts

He's never really seemed to be after the money, he didn't have a patron for a long time. He mostly goes around doing debates and discussions with other intellectuals.
It's very likely that a percentage of the population can't live on a vegan diet.
When you get a chance watch it, it looks very genuine to me, or he's a world class actor.
- Comment on What's your thoughts on this? 3 weeks ago:
I'm anti-ai for privacy, copyright reasons etc.
But the environmental impact is negligible, streaming Netflix uses way more resources than thousands of AI prompts (including training)
If we watched less YouTube it would make a much bigger difference than if we didn't use AI

He's a young YouTuber who started out talking about atheism and became a vegan and a big advocate for veganism and was very outspoken about switching to veganism etc. but a year or two into his journey he revealed that due to health reasons he can't stay on a vegan diet so he's reintroduced meat into his diet and he will try and do it as ethically possible but for health reasons he needs to consume animal products.
