Agreed, and it could definitely make such an assumption. The other aspect that I don’t really get is… if a superintelligent entity were to eventuate, why would it care?
We’re going to be nothing but bugs to it. It’s not likely to be of any consequence to that entity whether or not I expected/want it to exist.
The anthropomorphising going on with the AI hype is just crazy.

Yeah bro but eXpOnEnTiAl ImProVeMeNt bro!
And haven’t you heard of Roko’s basilisk? Better be careful what you say on the cybernets, lest our AGI/ASI overlords of 2026 take a disliking to your commentary regarding their eventual supremacy!
- Comment on Started to move off Google (not strictly self-hosted) 10 months ago:
It’s a risk that I’m willing to take, personally.
But tbf I do make sure that I own my primary mail domain.
Website hosting and such thing? Njal.la all the way. Never had an issue with them.

I would’ve been delighted to receive a managed Ethernet switch as a kid! I hope it came with some useful SFP modules and a USB serial adapter 😜
- Comment on Harness launches Gitness, an open-source GitHub competitor 1 year ago:
I found it much more barebones in my tinkering. It doesn’t seem to support pulling via SSH (and definitely doesn’t support signing commits). Configuration options appear extremely limited, both in documentation and the UI.
It looks nice, but I don’t really see the point to it when Gitea Actions is now a thing. Gitea is a much more mature product, and is similarly fast and lightweight.
- Comment on Hetzner server hosting potentially running MITM proxies on hosted servers 1 year ago:
This is why self hosted to me means actually running it on my own hardware in a location I have at least some control of physical access.
That said, an ISP could perform the same attack on a server hosted in your home using the HTTP-01 ACME challenge, so really no one is safe.
HSTS+certificate pinning, and monitoring new certificates issued for your domains using Certificate Transparency (crt.sh can be used to view these logs) is probably the only way to catch this kind of thing.
- Comment on Looks like google domains is no more. 1 year ago:
Njalla is mine. I like the privacy protections they offer.
- Comment on Looks like google domains is no more. 1 year ago:
Are CloudFlare, Amazon or Microsoft any better? Google at least take security (if not privacy) very seriously.
In general it seems bad to have any huge profit-driven organisation exercising significant control over open standards, but I do think that Google is lesser than many of the other evils.
