Old man, you’ve been a lifelong clown,
I said, “Old man, get the hell out of town”
I said, “Old man, be buried under the ground”
There’s no need to be unhappy

I read the news and saw that TRUMP PASSED A-WAY
Let me say again we know that TRUMP PASSED A-WAY-ay

#Future us, hopefully not too far off

I heard you don’t like First Past The Post, so we decided to go with ‘orange narcissistic dictator and a ketomine-doped technocrat’.

Hex and Daemon from Reboot are both underrated. Hex has genius visual design for the limitations of the technology. And for a kids show, Daemon is very likable, which always makes a villain more compelling.

Duel boot - is that why Microsoft keeps erasing the Linux partition. Didn’t realize it was a contest.

(Excuse me, know what you meant and not usually the spelling police, but this made me laugh)

A friend of mine asked me why I put forth so much work into protecting my privacy when my best efforts still amount to a leaky seive. I’ll never forget my reply - “Just because I’m losing doesn’t mean the fight isn’t worthwhile … if we give up, the open internet dies with [my generation]. For me, success is keeping the idea alive to be rediscovered by the next generation. If I don’t do it, what hope do they have?”

They don’t own it, the individual posters own the content of their own posts, however, from the reddit terms of service:

When Your Content is created with or submitted to the Services, you grant us a worldwide, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive, transferable, and sublicensable license to use, copy, modify, adapt, prepare derivative works of, distribute, store, perform, and display Your Content and any name, username, voice, or likeness provided in connection with Your Content in all media formats and channels now known or later developed anywhere in the world. This license includes the right for us to make Your Content available for syndication, broadcast, distribution, or publication by other companies, organizations, or individuals who partner with Reddit.

And with each of those rights granted, Reddit’s lawyers can defend those rights. So no, they don’t own it “just because they ran the servers” - they own specific rights to copy granted to them by each poster.

(I don’t like this arrangement, but ignorance of the terms of service isn’t going to help someone who uploaded a full copy of the works they have extensive rights to) On this subject I think there needs to be an extensive overhaul to narrow what terms you can extend to the general public. The problem is I straight up don’t trust anyone currently in power to make such a change to have our interests in mind.

Oh, I too doubt the regret is for anything beyond “I got caught and this makes me look bad shash will directly cost me money slash power slash influence”. I only made the reference to say that Gates’ ties to Epstein were known well before 2026.

In 2019, Gates characterized his relationship with Epstein as a ‘huge mistake’. Make of that what you will.

But this post doesn’t really address that. It suggests Epstein bought Windows XP once, which … is fine … I guess? (Doesn’t let him off the hook for the criminal empire he ran though)

It would be inviting a lawsuit for sure. I like the essence of the idea, but it’s probably more trouble than it’s worth for all but the most fanatic.

I love how expressive this is, and how it juxtaposes the authors main thesis against an elegant visual counterpoint.

What if we coupled the cylinder symbol with a ‘going to’ arrow ⤵️ above it?

I’m not sure what to tell ya. A cheap ARM device is the CanaKit 2GB Raspberry Pi 4 starter kit costs $110, but the JetKVM I recommended above including the ATX adapter is also $110

The only setup I can imagine that’s technically cheaper is an esp32 flashed with firmware, as discussed by another user (you already replied to it): https://lemmy.world/comment/20842145

But the esp32 (regardless of if you use a wire to simulate a button press, or have the device generate the WoL packet) is gonna be a pain to setup and flash by comparison to the other options.

If you already have a pi, it just needs to be flashed with Raspbian and install the app etherwake ‘sudo apt-get install etherwake’ and run it with ‘sudo etherwake [target MAC]’.

For a reliable and useful remote control solution, you’re looking for an IPKVM with ATX power control. To setup the power control, you effectively set up a parallel circuit where your power switch connects to the motherboard, letting the KVM effectively press the power button ‘normally’. As a bonus, you can connect to the video and data of the KVM for even more remote control options, like be able to troubleshoot boot issues or load a virtual CD/DVD to upgrade the OS.

For tinkerers, I recommend the PiKVM, either DIY or Preassembled. It’s important to know that a RaspberryPi is energy efficient compared to an x86. This guy crunched the numbers

If you’re looking for a product instead of a project, I’d recommend JetKVM.

Dungeon Crawler Carl by Matt Dinniman is a great contender for an end of the world scenario.

Tl;dr: aliens set loose a super intelligent AI on the planet as the gameshow host to the elimination of nigh all life on Earth, as part of a running Survivor-esque intergalactic production.

I’m in the middle. At work, I play it fairly conservative, applying well established solutions to well-known problems.

I have friends whom I advise and assist with their networks that absolutely fall into the first category.

MY network is is like the lab of a mad scientist, everything tinkered with right up to the edge of breaking. My home router collapses multiple times a year due to the wonky chaos I ask it to do. Home automaton sequences that are more complex than most rube goldberg machines. Metaphorical sharp edges and loose clutter everywhere, but an unholy abomination that works better than it has any right to - until I scrap it all to rebuild it from scratch next week.

You can also setup Jellyfin in parallel to Plex and give it a whirl.

Usually. When Plex leaked that they were selling user data, I was running Plex server on an Nvidia Shield, a unique build of Plex that ran as a core service of the Android device. There ain’t no Jellyfin analogue of that monstrosity.

To be fair - this mindset is hardly exclusive to self-hosters. The dotcom era itself kicked off because it was easier to get advertisers to pay for server costs than users.
