I considered it pretty heavy equipment for just a single service but that’s coming from my experience running like 8 vms on an old gaming pc and tearing my hair out over how janky it all looks (it works fantastically for me tho)

My bad. I’m so dumb that I see a shelf UPS and I assume this is some advanced network shit. I have an old gaming pc and a mini pc as 2 nodes in my home network.

Wait so you have like rack mounted server but only run jellyfin? Am I missing something here ?
- Comment on Bluesky says it won’t train AI on your posts 5 days ago:
When you make a lot of money, the number you see in your account starts to become part of your identity because it differentiates you between you and the people you see every day. The same way if I had blue curly hair, that would become a defining factor of where I “differ” from the general public. The numbers in one’s account becomes an obsession-point.
People get obsessed with the number and how much bigger they can make it. It’s like hoarding. No amount will ever be enough. And once you’re able to buy anything, the actual value of that money becomes meaningless. So even more drive to bring the number up because that’s the only novelty you are getting.
That and power.

More! I watched Lower Decks which was a fun spin on the whole thing and I’m making my way through Discovery still.

On Reddit way back when, I joined a trek sub as I’ve wanted to get into Star Trek but found the 90s shows too dry (early 2000s video games however, 👌). Posted about how I was really enjoying Picard and got RIPPED to shreds in the comments. No actual death threats but a bunch of people called me intellectually challenged and one combed through my post history to point out why exactly I was so cognitively bankrupt haha
- Comment on Where to start? 6 days ago:
I started with Picard then Strange New Worlds then Discovery.
I’ll take my downvotes and death threats now.

A friend of mine bought a taser that shoots those little barbs for $15. Absolutely insane.
- Comment on Google looks to be fully shutting down unsupported extensions and ad blockers in Chrome – which might push some folks to switch to Firefox 1 month ago:
That’s fine. My goal is to evangelize people and force everyone to use he same thing. A lot of people will stick to chrome, and other people will use Firefox, and even smaller subset will use privacy oriented forks of Firefox. Get this mf some diversity.
- Comment on Google looks to be fully shutting down unsupported extensions and ad blockers in Chrome – which might push some folks to switch to Firefox 1 month ago:
I would search “Firefox forks for privacy” or something like that
- Comment on Google looks to be fully shutting down unsupported extensions and ad blockers in Chrome – which might push some folks to switch to Firefox 1 month ago:
Firefox is FOSS. Just use a privacy oriented fork of it :)
- Comment on Microsoft is discontinuing its HoloLens headsets 1 month ago:
People in the VR scene also hate Meta because all the eye tracking information is being harvested and sold to ad companies.
Did you know that the pattern your eyes move and what you look at and how fast you look at it and’s WHAT you look at can tell an algorithm how you’re feeling, if you suffer from certain specific mental illnesses or neurodivergence, your age and gender, and your core inner desires and activation triggers? Now give all that info to Facebook. For free.

Amen.
- Comment on Facebook Is Being Flooded With Gross AI-Generated Images of Hurricane Helene Devastation 1 month ago:
If I can pump out fake flood pictures, I can convince a couple million Americans that none of the flood images are real. That it’s ALL AI generated. Thus I can make roughly $100k on ad impressions and further convince people that climate change is a hoax.
- Comment on Watch out, Microsoft Outlook could soon give away when you're sneakily working from home 1 month ago:
If your company is nationwide and has offices all over the country and you work on a distributed team where some people are on the west coast, some are central, and some are on the east coast. In this such event, none of your teammates will physically be able to tell if you are in the office. That’s what this feature is for.
So we can all continue to work from home, from a prescribed office of our employers choosing.

The fact that it hasn’t burst into flames is a testament to your modding skills. Well done!
- Comment on Intel releases one last microcode update to fix high-end desktop CPU crashes 1 month ago:
They won’t accept it because it’s out of the package and has been used for some months.
- Comment on Intel releases one last microcode update to fix high-end desktop CPU crashes 1 month ago:
I bought a 13600k a few months ago. Applied all the microcode patches but I think the processor is toast. If I’m able to boot up most programs just crash. Steam loads once out of every 10 times I try and open it. Forget games.
I spent $400+ CAD on this processor less than 6 months ago. It’s unusable now. I will never ever purchase an intel processor again, even if they fix this and this never happens again. I was sold a defective product and I have no recourse to get my money back.
I have an unusable computer.

Are you trying to imply that there aren’t state sponsored influence campaigns held on social media?
