- Comment on Millennials are old now? 8 months ago:
In the 70s lynard skynard was southern rock. The Beatles were British invasion. The byrds were psychedelic. Pink Floyd was prog. By the 80s-90s they were all classic rock. What makes you think the same thing won’t happen to prodigy and Linkin park?
This post is giving strong “old man yells at cloud” vibes.

When I lost my job over the summer I put my resume on dice and immediately had 3-4 guys with Indian accents calling me every day. I found a new job within a week. I still get emails and texts though, can’t put the genie back in the bottle

CAN-SPAM is effective for legitimate businesses with something to lose. Several times I’ve ended up on a list with an unsubscribe link that doesn’t work. I contact their support, and if they don’t do anything I send them an email demanding they remove me and cc’ing the federal trade commission and my states attorney general. Hasn’t failed yet.

Apple does have really nice boxes
- Comment on This is so true 8 months ago:
Information is fine. A lot of people just regurgitate talking points and clearly have no idea what they mean. I call it bumper sticker politics, and both sides are guilty of it (“Go woke go broke!” “Corporations aren’t people!”). If your entire belief structure can be boiled down to one sentence that you don’t even understand, you are not helping.
- Comment on A New York Times copyright lawsuit could kill OpenAI 9 months ago:
Would you, after devoting full years of your adult life to the unpaid work of learning the requisite advanced math and computer science needed to develop such a model, like to spend years more of your life to develop a generative AI model without compensation?
No. I wouldn’t want to write a kernel from scratch for free either. But Linus Torvalds did. He even found a way to monetize it without breaking any laws.

HP printers are the best
No. Not by any metric.
- Comment on HP CEO: You're 'bad investment' if you don't buy HP supplies 9 months ago:
We have seen that you can embed viruses into cartridges, through the cartridge go to the printer, from the printer go to the network
Hey dipshits, this is possible because you built firmware into your printer cartridges to prevent 3rd party cartridges in the first place
- Comment on how to access nextcloud outside LAN? 9 months ago:
Technically true but I wouldn’t suggest using a self signed cert on the internet under any circumstances.
- Comment on how to access nextcloud outside LAN? 9 months ago:
Absolutely do not expose your server on port 80. Http is unencrypted, you’d be sending your login credentials in plaintext across the open internet. That is Very Bad™. If you own a domain name, you can set up a letsencypt cert fairly easily for free. Then you could expose 443 and at least your traffic will be encrypted in transit. It won’t solve the other potential issues of exposing your instance like brute force or ddos attacks, but I’d consider it a bare minimum.
If you use a VPN like many others are suggesting it won’t matter as much because the unencrypted traffic never leaves your local network.
- Comment on how to access nextcloud outside LAN? 9 months ago:
Wireguard installation is going to be much more secure than a Nextcloud
I understand that, and it’s a good suggestion and a better solution if it fits the OPs use case. I don’t understand suggesting they do both. Either VPN or port forwarding solve the problem, doing both seems unnecessary.
- Comment on how to access nextcloud outside LAN? 9 months ago:
before you start forwarding ports on your router
Don’t you mean instead of? If all the OP wants to do is access next cloud, they can do it over the VPN without forwarding ports. What you’re suggesting is just adding yet another attack vector (the VPN itself)

That actually is how email works, assuming you use a local client vs a web client. The headers will contain the origin IP it was sent from. Easy enough to geo locate and see it’s European.
- Comment on Microsoft sets 16GB default for RAM for AI PCs – machines will also need 40 TOPS of AI compute: Report 9 months ago:
Microsoft is desperate to regain the power they had on the 00s and is desperately claiming trying to find that killer app. At least this time they’re not just copying apples homework.

If push comes to shove the rescue copters will take a back seat to the military. There is what should be, and what likely will be, and those things are often very different.

allowing them to hoover up our data
Hate to break it to you, but the fediverse is public. Most instances don’t even require an account for read-only access. If Facebook wants your data they don’t need to federate to get it.
