Unauthorized Bread is a tale of immigration, the toxicity of economic and technological stratification, and the young and downtrodden fighting against all odds to survive and prosper.

So good and probably my favourite of the four stories

About 10TiB/mo, mostly seeding

Ah interesting… vanilla Ironfox here

Looks like they’re blocking it somehow :/ probably for “copyright” reasons, I’ll try to see if it’s substack doing it site-wide

Btw check this article out https://arstechnica.com/tech-policy/2026/02/wikipedia-bans-archive-today-after-site-executed-ddos-and-altered-web-captures/

Thanks, what browser? I always get it on desktop too, w/ firefox and derivatives. Tend to avoid the archive.today for this reason

That’s fair, but archive.is with their recaptcha is even worse for me, I don’t want to work for google for free…why not use archive.org? Or maybe put the og link somewhere… The article was interesting

Holy cowrruption :O

Ez pz

Then it will deep-fry your brain

How many trees to send some text? Lol, my aging phone depletes its battery more if I don’t use it xD

I just have a high level of distrust of FAANG, and of proprietary software; I still use most stuff I’m not very extreme in practice

Who’s to say that local LLM model won’t be used when we leave our device on standby, to ease a usage spike from other users? It’s technically possible, the things stopping many companies are the potential legal trouble (but there’s an ever longer TOS for that), different levels of morality, company culture, etc.; many botnets were from simple games installed by regular people connected on a residential line. Some VPNs have been caught using their clients line as an endpoint for other clients in different countries

You could say it’s a ridiculous thought for now regarding this “hidden” Gemini local LLM, I just feel like it’s a possibilty.

Bingo

Probably a ridiculous notion but personally I wouldn’t feel 100% sure my device isn’t joining a distributed bot net ai datacenter for other people’s slop generation, burning my energy, my battery, my ssd (higher temps shorten their half life) without my consent

I also think it’s infantile behaviour, crowd/group mind psychology where they collectively act worse than the individual; IMHO the bully/cat caller gets pleasure in reaffirming their role within the group and will continue to do so unless somebody from the group itself strongly challenges them (complains, warns them, etc) or something else goes badly for them from bystanders intervening.

They pretty much don’t care about the response from the victim unless it’s “entertaining” and reenforces their clown act

Not a psych worker, just my 2c

BTW it reminds me of the phenomenon where a crowd freezes instead of helping an injured person, since there’s too many people and little “per capita” pressure to help a stranger in need

I’m sure it’s fiiine, lots of babies are doing it. They can’t read your PSA anyway so it’s all good :P

They canceled my delay!!

You mean Chinese? With an ever bigger presence in India I’m sure

Framework laptop 13 feels pretty close

Holy moly, what modem is that??

Depends mostly on the CPU “TDP” (even tho nowadays the TDP is not an actual power limit) and size of heatsink, check out Streacom passive cases for example.

But the essential part in a pc is the heatsink, before the cpu fan (or any fan).
