Totally agree. Everyone is corruptible.
Chomsky being in the Epstein files is the perfect example.

Elites will always be troublesome, but of no importance when they cannot corrupt anyone to do their bidding. That’s why I focus on rulers.
The problem is that people still seem to think that the next politician will change this, which is exactly what the elites want.

Still comes down to the rulers imo, as they enable such behavior from the rich. The longer this goes on, the more blatant it becomes. And they’ve been at it for a looong time.

So before capitalism you don’t know of any rulers being unjust?
It’s not a feature of capitalism to corrupt, it’s a feature of power structures to be corruptible.
- Comment on LemmyNSFW and Saidit are dead. Which Platform is next? 1 day ago:
Yes, it absolutely is, but I don’t think it was ever purposefully designed that way. More like it grew out of the single root account on a server. But I could be wrong.
- Comment on LemmyNSFW and Saidit are dead. Which Platform is next? 1 day ago:
Also the ideology of a nsfw community is a straight-forward issue.
What does this mean? I’m talking about how an instance should or can be governed. Poster before me indicated an instance should be managed by a community, which drags politics - thus ideology - into the conversation. It’s hard to create community governance on a platform with a single root admin. This is also the case on git repo’s in terms of governance. And when that is the case, moving away seems the only option - unless the developers feel adventurous enough to implement a whole community-as-root-account feature, where they will then run into the questions I’ve mentioned.
- Comment on LemmyNSFW and Saidit are dead. Which Platform is next? 1 day ago:
Then it gets ideological rapidly. How to come to an agreement: majority vs consensus? Once a conclusion is reached, can all press the button or just one delegate? It brings so many questions.
I think it’s much more elegant to just abandon one server in favor of the other.

Give it time. All these big tech companies will have AI central to their operations in no time. I reckon the many problems over at MicroSlop lately are a result of this.

Subscribed! I’m looking for a more bucket-focused approach but haven’t come across a decent app for it yet. Thinking of building my own if this search fizzles out.

I needed Kobo/KOreader support, calibre-web handles this nicely. Looking to set up annotation/note sync over the weekend, then it’ll be perfect.

There ya go, that’s a perfect use-case for SMB. Worked a treat back when I had windows devices - somewhere in the 00s.
- Comment on home system setup advice 1 week ago:
Do you have devices running windows? What is your reason for wanting SMB?
- Comment on Overseerr & Jellyseerr to merge into Seerr 1 week ago:
yea that would have been a pain indeed! I feared that too, pleasantly surprised now 😁
- Comment on Overseerr & Jellyseerr to merge into Seerr 1 week ago:
That was one smooth transition! 🚀
- Comment on home system setup advice 2 weeks ago:
For me it’s all NFS. I have storage mounted on proxmox for VMs, ISOs, backups, … I use full VMs instead of LXC, so I have direct mounts of the shares inside the VMs if they need it.
- Comment on home system setup advice 2 weeks ago:
Same here, got a TrueNAS running for storage with no services, and a Proxmox box next to it that uses the NAS for storage. Solid setup.
What made you less confident in TrueNAS? I’ve been running it for a few years now, not 1 hiccup in all that time.

With humans barely reacting to climate change, it will be quite a comedy when the sun starts expanding.
This is fine

I love wireguard for this. If they can’t get that working, then no jellyfin for them. Filters out the PEBKAC people wonderfully.

Self-hosting seems your only option then. You might be cut off from other instances, but at least on yours, you’ll be able to enjoy free speech.

- Comment on Do you have a plan for your self-hosted data if you die? 4 weeks ago:
Same here. I don’t see how she would manage, she’s not THAT technical. I told her she’d probably be good for another few years barring breaking updates. Beyond that, she’ll need to find someone to retrieve any content she wants to keep. For this reason, I keep all photos with a paid service (ente) as I don’t want to risk her losing those.

It truly is! I’m seeing some politicians move away from X, gamers away from Windows, now the TikTok exodus. A ray of hope in these troubled times.
