its all a pissing contest between people we really aught to hang from the rafters… The consequences of their pissbaby behaviour is ours to bare.

We should be making soup out of them.

Yaknow, now that I know its tightly coupled to systemd I especially don’t care about podman. Thank you genuinely for resolving any curiosity about it, however.

Culture ships.

Limiting Factor and Cargo Cult are desktops.

Empiricist and Sense amid Madness, Wit Amdist Folly are a NAS and NUC that runs everything I need

Its a great variety of memorable names.

(And even though Elon keeps naming things after them, he hasn’t fucking read the books.)

If I recall, it was something Ed Zitron said but I can’t find the quote, so it might not be. The implication that the cost of delivering that $20 user account was approximately $1800 worth of compute.

They wanted companies to normalise a dollar spend on tokens equivalent to half a dev salary per dev.

They want to pay you in it too

Its not consumers they charge.

They were talking about businesses budgeting about 50% of a developer salary per developer on tokens.

A consumer $20 claude code account gets about $1800 worth of tokens, iirc.

The venture capital is just piles of money in other rich peoples pockets. As I understand it, the AI bubble is funded by massive amounts of saudi oil money anyway.

Its kinda like the jokers cash bonfire, but its Sam Altman pleading for more of it while eagerly dousing it in gasoline.

Gnome 3 was a fad anyway

There’s just not much worth being happy about right now. Its kind of silly to be doing a light-hearted marketing push while people are being shot by their government.

Its the same reason Alien Conspiracies aren’t fun any more

The problem is is that I severely doubt that there’s anything of value on it. Have you any idea how many disks are full of banal static?

> No, we only use Jellyfin via browser.

Three. Three emojis, used in headings as a bullet point.

It is perfectly plausable for someone whos job is to write technical documentation and promotional material would punch it up with a couple 'mojis.

Every single release uses the same format with the same 3 emojis. You’d know that if you’d clicked “releases” and had even a modicum of curiosity.

I wonder if theres an argument for an automatic down-scaler after watching it for retention, but tying it to the original torrent file at the same time.

if its encrypted at rest, it doesn’t need it.

So, I present my paradox: If the data was sensitive, it wouldn’t be disposed of properly. If the data is irrelevant or encrypted at rest, the disks are disposed of unneccisarilly.

I bet what you were handling wasn’t -that- comparatively sensitive, so its a whole bunch of human effort and material being pulverised for no reason.

Because I can ensure you that the people who should -always- be that thorough are not. Especially right now. There’s all sorts of drives that shouldn’t be out in the wild, out in the wild.

I’m a little surprised there isn’t buyers for liberated disks (and their data) from ASEAN datacenters.

Additionally, if an attacker wanted to steal your business data, they’d be your contracted, approved disposal partner already.

I can tell you right now that not everything that goes to recycler and gets a cert even gets wiped.

Someone, somewhere said it was, therefore, the box is ticked.

And this will remain so until there isn’t an economic imperative.

the fediverse is frustrating like that.
