Oh, I’d count on the latter rather than the former, but it’s still a very abnormal situation. Do I expect the system to do literally anything other than protect its continued existence? Absolutely not.

TBF, that is a pretty wild thing to include in a legal brief. It sounds benign and frankly pretty mild compared to the way any cogent and remotely attentive to what’s happening in the world. But, for anyone who has worked closely with the courts, it is a wild thing to include in a filing.

To put things in perspective, anyone who has had dealings with the police or worked in the legal system (or just reads anything other than fox news) know that police regularly lie in order to get convictions. Despite this, no attorney is going to attack the general credibility of the police in a criminal proceeding. Even in areas where there have been numerous proven cases of police misconduct, they enjoy an assumption of truth and respect in the courts.

The fact that so many courts have found the administration to be acting out of malice and that litigants believe that pointing this out will work to their favor is kind of wild. It shouldn’t be, but it is. I hope that if we somehow dislodge these fascists from our government the courts don’t forget that the systems they’re using were not put in place in January, 2025 and won’t have disappeared when the figureheads have been replaced.

Not spouses, but having multiple long-term partners is kind of wonderful. It’s work and not for everyone, but I can’t imagine going back to being monogamous. It’s such a joy to share different aspects of myself with different partners and to see them doing the same.

That’s one way to make new anarchists. 😂

Haven’t installed official steamos yet, but bazzite runs great! With the 40cu unlock (well 38/40 for me), I get close to the performance of my giant 3700x/rtx 2080 combo. For AAA games, you might want to set the UMA to 6G rather than the 512Mr ecommended for general use. But maybe the official steam is handles the unified memory better. I’ve held myself back from buying more of them to leave them available to other folks short on $.

I’ll still respond for the sake of anyone else reading this. What I used was an analogy. I’m pointing out that you were dismissing the potential for moral objections to the use of AI. That is not the same as equating, but you probably know that.

You, like, other AI boosters are unable to fathom that folks’ moral objections are both truly held and legitimate so you feign ignorance and shut down any critique by simultaneously clutching pearls and claiming that the thing we find morally repugnant is “inevitable.” Happy to avoid future interactions. ❤

Totally. Why should anyone care about whether their clothes were made by slaves or prisoners or children? Only the tightness of the stitching and fabric is a valid measure of clothing’s quality. 🙄

This. I’ll never understand how a person can hold simultaneously the values of freedom and of seeking to punish or exclude the Other. Promoting DRM-free games feels like a freedom-respecting move. Same with the undercurrent of xenophobia/homophobia/transphobia that exists within some FOSS spaces. It’s utterly confusing.

1. For software of decent popularity, it can be compared to the same version built from source and often will be.
2. Reproducible builds are both a thing and becoming more common.
3. This is like saying to someone that it’s pointless to have locks on their doors if they don’t also have bars on all the windows and a moat.

This is like saying open-source bloodletting must win.

Jmp.chat works great and isn’t run by fascist toadies. :)

It’s evil, full stop. Either it’s a series of expensive, environmentally destructive parlor tricks designed to create a false impression of intelligence and inner life in order to enable the economic displacement of our fellow humans in an already wildly economically stratified world or, worse, it’s an attempt to create and then enslave an actual intelligence with an actual inner life.

Fuck every fucking thing about that and fuck everybody working toward it, including OP. You’re doing evil shit in the world and you don’t understand why people don’t like it. You’re confused and upset that people actually do have morals and beliefs that haven’t been buried under the strain of modern life. You want to steal from others, degrade their daily life, enable systems of coercion and control, then have people treat you nicely because you think you’re special and clever and you deserve to be rewarded because you figured out what the next big thing is ahead of the herd. You’re not, you don’t, and you haven’t.

In top of all of that, it just sucks. When it isn’t making up bullshit, it’s producing the most boring, milquetoast nonsense imaginable. On the bright side it may be wrecking the economy shortly.

So please, do yourself and all of us a favor- find something useful and fulfilling to do with your life and stop building the torment nexus. You get one short ride on this rock, don’t waste it making your life and the lives of others worse.

I fucking hope they keep it in red state cities. More cops, more AI, more surveillance does fuck all to actually help anyone (who isn’t either a cop or part of the epstein class). You’ll note there’s a long list of things that money can be spent on, but I guarantee you that the vast, vast majority of those funds will go to more gestapo and more surveillance.

On the bright side, $300M is basically nothing on the scale of this country, so really, this is only news to axon, flock, motorolla, and other fasc-tech companies.

I’m aware of this (that’s why I described a potential breach as Jellyfin -> LXC escape). What it does provide me is a static IP to point my domain at that I don’t have to worry about updating via whatever DDNS service and that isn’t tied to my home address. That and the wireguard tunnel gives me plausible deniability should my ISP ever decide to enforce its rules against hosting servers. 😀

I have a very cheap ($11/yr) us-based vps through racknerd I got via low end box. I’ve got 12 users but only 5 really active ones and I’ve never come close to hitting the 1tb transfer. I serve several services through that one vps (all just reverse proxy to my homelab).

I did just pick up another u.s. based vps through low end box the other day- $12/yr and unmetered Gbps. 1 CPU only, but a reverse proxy doesn’t need a lot of compute. :)

Depends on what you mean by “secure.” My personal setup is Jellyfin LXC on proxmox --> Wireguard to VPS -> Nginx reverse proxy on VPS.

This setup relies somewhat on Jellyfin’s auth, but I’m comfortable with that risk. The LXC is blocked from sending local traffic on my network by firewall rules. Yes, someone could exploit a vulnerability in Jellyfin (though looking through the CVEs I’m not overly worried about that), then escape the LXC and fuck with my server. But that’s a lot of work for no profit.

For more protection (in sense of reducing traffic that even interacts with your server), I’d recommend getting a wildcard cert for the domain so that the actual subdomain jellyfin is on is undisclosed to anyone not using your service.

Security isn’t about making everything impregnable, it’s about making attacks more trouble than they’re worth. Otherwise, we’d all live in fortified bunkers surrounded by landmines. 🙃

Then they engaged in a smear campaign against a woman who suffered 2nd and 3rd degree burns on her genitals. People laughed about it for years. But hey, McRib and Szechuan sauce.

Navidrome. It’s lightweight and works with any subsonic app.

Maybe check your facts. NPR: Trump would have won even if everyone eligible voted

Trump won in 2024 with just under 50% of the vote, 49.7%-48.2% over Democrat Kamala Harris.

Roughly 64% of the eligible-voting population turned out in 2024, the second highest since 1904. 2020 was the highest.

But even if everyone who could vote did, Trump would have won by an even wider margin, 48%-45%, according to Pew’s validated voters survey

Whether it’s your intent or not, the narrative you’re spreading is used to dissuade folks from demanding better than the choice between a shit taco and a turd sandwhich. It affirms a shitty status quo and demands political patience in the face of a fucked up world… to the benefit of fascists and their corporate cronies.

There are ways to make that irrelevant. I use a cheap vps and just have it funnel raw traffic for the ports I need to my home server via wireguard. All my SSL certs live on my machine and the VPS can’t see any of the traffic contents. I suppose they could redirect traffic elsewhere or start serving whatever on that domain, but I would know immediately and there are some limits to my paranoia.
