There are effective alternatives that dont require a man in the middle.

The Edward Snowden leaks were in 2013, so at a minimum 13 years ago.

Huge! Feels good, huh?

What do you mean when you say:

they are just piece of shit who have chosen a life of exploitation rather than being productive members of society

?

Also, not sure why you’re coming at me. Was just pointing out what you see vs the struggles I see. A comparison of struggles we see, if you will.

Let me help clear it up for you

Not being able to afford first class plane tickets isn’t suffering

They cant afford to travel at all, let alone an(y) airplane ticket.

Just like the weirdos here who think the world is abusing them because the price of RAM went up and and their $3000 Gaming PC is now $5000.

The gripe is an $850 gaming PC is now $3000

This idea that everyone is ‘suffering’ is so utterly absurd and akin to hippies thinking we are all ‘unenlightened’ because we’re not constantly tripping balls on lsd.

We cant afford LSD

Have you ever been hungry? slept in the freezing cold? lived without medical or dental care? That is legitimate struggle and suffering. Not being a whiny bitch about how you’re not rich enough to afford luxuries that could feed people for years…

• We are hungry (grocery prices are insane right now)
• We arent cold, we are hot (global warming)
• we cant afford medical or dental visits. Opting out as much as we can so we can buy groceries (see above)
• We definitely cant afford luxuries. We cant even buy something as necessary as our own home. We are renting because we dont have a down payment. We cant save for a down payment because landlords keep jacking up rent.

truth is maybe if folks did legit suffer they’d have more perspective on life. Daddy not buying you a Porsche for your birthday isn’t suffering, Daddy beating you on your birthday for wanting a birthday cake is. And sadly way too many people can’t seem to understand the difference anymore.

Trust me, we have a ton of perspective that anyone who isnt in the bottom 50% of the poverty could never understand. Daddy owns a barely functional truck and has 3 teeth left to chew with. He was a jerk when we were kids, and has calmed the fuck down since he isn’t able to realistically abuse anyone anymore.

Maybe you are too well off from whatever success you had during covid. If you want to be around people who are truly suffering, go volunteer at a food kitchen and feed the homeless.

Lets help people.

Maybe everyone is, in fact, suffering a bit.

the are not legitimately struggling in any way…

What does a legitimate struggle look like to you?

Uh oh, looks like you didn’t read far enough:

On Monday, two days after the incident occurred, Mr Crane confirmed that the data had been recovered. The Independent has reached out to Anthropic and Cursor for comment.

So again… Well, do I need to paste it again?

So again, because we make backups before letting AI touch anything:

“Hey slop machine, you fucked up. Restore the last backup and document the mistake you made in AGENTS.md so we avoid making that mistake again. Im going to go make a coffee, brb”

Oops, slop machine broke something.

“Hey slop machine, you fucked up. Restore the last backup and document the mistake you made in AGENTS.md so we avoid making that mistake again. Im going to go make a coffee, brb”

Hardware I’m running:

• 8/16 AMD CPU
• 32GB system RAM
• 12GB GPU VRAM (AMD)

I’m mainly using these MoE models:

Qwen-3.6-35B-A3B

• Q4_K_M quant quality
• 128k context (conversation length before it compacts)
• Gives me about 260 prefill and 19 token gen speeds

Gemma4-26B-A4B

• Q8 quant quality
• 128k context length
• Gives me about 190 prefill and 14 token gen speeds

I created git repos on my main workstation for each homelab server/service I maintain that keeps:

• documentation
• notes
• lessons learned
• scripts, configs
• runbooks
• backup details
• security audit details
• log items that need attention
• infrastructure

I just point a local LLM (offline model that runs on my workststion) into those repos and ask it to perform certain things on those servers. It can do things like update packages, install packages, make config changes, set/check permissions, read logs (and fix errors in real time), and check the health of the overall system.

I have it run pre backups before making changes, then post backups once its done.

Once changes are in place and everything is running okay, I ask it to update documentation in the repo and tag the release.

I use opencode that connects to a llama.cpp service. opencode lets me gate the AI so that any elevated commands that it needs to run (e.g. sudo or ssh), I have to approve it. It cant just go around making changes without permission.

This question is how new apps are born

Those devices should most certainly be on two separate networks. Internet facing devices should be on a DMZ and not be allowed to talk to your internal network. You can then allow your internal network reach your DMZ devices, but only allow return traffic from the DMZ.

Which cloud service is going to last 1000 years?

One thing you could deploy throughout all your internal networks are honeypots that send alerts upon ANY network activity. Nobody should be hitting those at all.

Healthy storage pool? Any disk errors?

HDDs or SSDs locally?

You should be able to find an Android Auto / Apple CarPlay device that will give you what you’re asking for. Then just set your phone to Do Not Disturb or a specific Driving mode so that it doesn’t let you control the phone itself until you reach the destination or are at a complete stop.

Newpipe should let you download and convert as MP3 or whatever format and then you just play in your music player of choice.

According to TechCrunch, that dataset is built off of Public Domain works.

https://techcrunch.com/2025/06/06/eleutherai-releases-massive-ai-training-dataset-of-licensed-and-open-domain-text/

The Common Pile v0.1, which can be downloaded from Hugging Face’s AI dev platform and GitHub, was created in consultation with legal experts, and it draws on sources, including 300,000 public domain books digitized by the Library of Congress and the Internet Archive. EleutherAI also used Whisper, OpenAI’s open source speech-to-text model, to transcribe audio content.

Yeah but which one? Can you name one?
