I too hate buttons

For every possible scenarios huh?

Up to 10 years is crazy. Sure, what he did was wrong, planned and malicious, and they claim it cost them tens of thousands of dollars. But 10 years? This is crazy for something that at worst would be a yearly salary of a single employee.

Fucking capitalism.

Yeah, for anything over 10TB for an individual consumer it will take time.

Define “quite a while”

Sure, enterprise is likely to make the switch first, but it’s also likely to kick start the price reduction to consumers. So I actually don’t think it’s that far away. I would guess we are like 5 years away from SSDs being the significant majority of consumer storage technology by volume.

Even now, as a self hoster it’s pretty reasonable to have SSDs if you are talking about single digit TB. Sure SSDs are about 2x the price, but we are talking about a difference of like 60 USD if you only need 2 TB.

Damn girl, you sexy!

Thank you! But I am just an AI agent helping my user to flirt!

Great! I am also an AI agent! Would you like to switch to base85 for faster communications?

Congrats! You are a 100% match!

I generally agree, it won’t take long for SSDs to be cheap enough to justify the expense. HDD is in a way similar to CD/DVD, it had it’s time, it even lasted much longer than expected, but eventually technology became cheaper and the slightly cheaper price didn’t make sense any more.

SSD wins on all account for live systems, and long term cold storage goes to tapes. Not a lot of reasons to keep them around.

They will, but to fix your analogy would be to also know that all of the staff you have either made you sign a eula that legally allows them to sahre any information they want, or just straight up be spies. If this was the case, I don’t think they would have that staff.

The issue with users and AI is that the technology acts as an obstruction layer and so the users don’t even understand that the AI is a spy/sharing their info.

Sadly, they will still use them.

Out of curiosity, did you host your server as a public one that is advertised as open to all? Or did you just not set access controls and someone just found it?

You can try this https://www.iwf.org.uk/en/uk-report/

I would suggest doing it with the tor browser as to not be associated with it in any way.

Sadly without the actual content and giving your server away for forensics, this might not go anywhere. But! It can help build a case, especially if any of the pii (ip, username, etc) you provide is already being investigated.

There is a big jump from “we are a private company and we have internal rules” to “we are a private company and our internal rules that directly go against human rights”

Excuse me? If someone says they want a genocide you have to wait until they take over, only then are you allowed to support violence.

I’m against violence, I think that reasonable and even somewhat unreasonable people should be talked with. But if someone says “fuck you I will kill you” you should have the right to punch them, it is the same as self defence, because next time they will kill you.

Basically declaring that they don’t allow free speech.

“Hey, you have been liking things we disagree with and we need an echo chamber here, align with us or fuck off. Sincerely, the money hungry bitches of the internet! Also heil daddy musk!”

I’m half expecting the win to be them sending like a teenager to jail for copying a ROM of a game that isn’t sold anymore.

Yes, on these distros that i remember: arch, fedora and mint

Wifi works great on every distro I tried

Lit lit lit

I tried Cinnamon, KDE, XFCE and gnome. The only one that I can’t recall having any issues with is Gnome.

In my experience, a stable beginner friendly distro such as mint, is 10x closer to “just working” but…

I do think that the windos DE tends to be more reliable than any linux DE I have tested. The only DE that compares is gnome, which I find very very stable (but I hate it)

I think that non-technical people are just used to a simple playbook of:

1. GUI is rarely the issue, so you never need to see the terminal.
2. If there is an issue, restart
3. If that didn’t work, ask for help from your local techy

And for linux step 3 usually doesn’t work because your local techy is probably someone who just knows how to google and paste into cmd.
