And ideally the storage will be encrypted and have basic privacy assurances.

Why would you trust a company to encrypt for you when Cryptomator exists ?

Also, a couple of 4TB drives for cold backup (one offsite) avoids another subscription.

Strange timing, just as a new US war starts…

So, pretty much what Meta/Facebook (and the three letter agencies / GovInt) has been doing with deterministic code (like they’re not scraping reddit et.al, including Lemmy) for ages but probabilistic with more errors and new improved hallucination.

Competition, filling in gaps or just looking to be bought out. Evil.

Do you not get ‘open on the internet’? All the three letter agencies hoover the data up, your countries equivalents do as well, other companies. It’s only a bit in one companies hands, because it’s ‘open on the internet’, just like xitter, facebook, tiktok, their walled gardens don’t stop state level actors, just us plebs (a bit). That just leaves control (in real time), some power, some money there, but long term it’s the data that counts.

Look to the masters, the tobacco industry with additives to make it more addictive (been a while since I researched it and that’s the one that popped up, but they spent 60+ years making it more addictive).

Social media speedran it with something apparently innocuous (‘they trust me, stupid fucks’), and a bunch of corrupt psychologists (and marketers/advertisers also known as corrupt psychologists). Do no harm my ass, wait, that doesn’t apply to psychologists, wait again, that’s more like guidelines for doctors (not an actual vow in most places).

Next bill of rights / constitution needs to address this specifically, there’s a reason why quacks have a special hatred (and if there were one, a special hell)…

Agreed. They’re both open on the internet and the data is in many repositories. Moot point (OPs’, not yours).

See also Goodhart’s law “When a measure becomes a target, it ceases to be a good measure”, which may not be completely relevant here, but is likely a factor (probably a lesser one than the systematic underfunding and other political meddling in US schools).

So, like 'open’AI…

Also valid.

Repeat after me, IDGAF. And I know that doesn’t fix everything, especially not the world, but for some people, some of the time, it can help. Make it a mantra for a while, until it’s served it’s purpose (you can go too far). Also, stay off 4chan (obvs).

Sweet. Thanks for the perspective.

My understanding is you need a specific kernel, which likely limits your choices somewhat (dunno, don’t have one, but that seems like a good place to start). Seems totally doable though.

Plenty are running home servers from laptops

Usually highly energy efficient as well.

Still honestly not a pleasant experience to get it to run from what I recall.

Who hurt you, was it windows ? (mostly joking)

Why wouldn’t they?

Possible sure, easy unlikely, knowing you got all the backdoors (for allies), nigh impossible. Only way to be sure is to clean room it from the ground up, not jailbreak.

Ah, my bad, down to might be interesting I guess.

If you want to do it right, have a look at podlet (docker to podman quadlet converter), should get you 90% of the way there.

Pretty sure RAM and C/GPU use different fabs (and wafers) thankfully. If some fuck goes and corners the market of CPU wafers we’re all doomed. The RAMpocalypse is actually likely to free up processor fab space if it prices phones such as they sell less.

Of course the margin on AI compute will be better, so suck it consumers.

The market can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent.

Wadda ya want, revolution ? Hmm…
