This is how I do it, and for good reason: Reddit aggressively rate limits API calls. I’ve read they’ve limited us to ~100 requests / 10 minutes. That’s fine if you run an instance just for yourself. If you’re hosting a popular public instance, chances are you’ll run into a brick wall pretty quickly.

Aber, wie ich sehe, ein Landsmann. Für erschwingliche Glasfaser leben wir einfach im falschen Land.

Recently read a comment here: “Think you have a backup? Delete your drives now. If you’re hesitant, you don’t really have a backup.”
As true as that is: I’d be in the “hesitant” category because I only back up my data / containers, not my bare metal system and its config. Do you guys? (Proxmox users will probably do, but what about the rest?)
These are great proof of China’s superiority! Until you see the Chinese questionnaires:
Choose an option:
[ ] My government serves the people
[ ] I want my social credit score to take a nosedive. No more bank loans, government permits, study or career opportunities for me, please!
They did beat America in the race towards oppressive authoritarianism, but under Trump, the U.S. has caught up a great deal. So much winning!
True; I skipped this part because the comment I was replying to was about taxpayer money bailouts. What you’re describing is the creation of an artificial moat against competitors. And it is correct that this is also a motive behind pushing for regulation.
This is clearly the exit strategy here. That’s why AI companies’ try to label their products as “dangerous” and call for their own regulation. On the one hand, they want to be regarded as a matter of “national security” because they bloody well know that this gives them access to taxpayer money, which in turn can bail them out of their failing bet on data center build-out. On the other hand, it helps them shift liability onto regulators if things go south and allows them to say: “We told you we wanted regulation, but you wouldn’t listen.”
Not all hackers are ethical.
True. But the comment I was replying to was talking about hackers with a kind of “ethos” / ethics.
Do not conflate the Zuck or other Silicon Valley suits with hackers. They lack both the technical skill and the ethics.
A man of culture, I see!
1·7 days agoNo offense taken. With AI-generated texts becoming ever more pervasive, you’re right to be suspicious. 👍 I get that the bullet-point-ish style of my OP gives people ChatGPT vibes. 🤖
I could give you a run-down of ten tell-tale signs of AI writing style if you like. 🔎
Early voters are reporting some hijinks when selecting their choice so be VERY CAREFUL about confirming who you are voting for.
Now make it playable via steering wheel and accelerator. Bonus points for linking “fire” to the car horn.
11·9 days agoI know of these famed Nvidia driver problems, but they’re
a) not exclusive to Ubuntu; Nvidia is the party fucking up here, so they’re rumoured to be unstable throughout all distros and
b) I’ve been running Debian-/Ubuntu-based Linux distros w/ Nvidia’s proprietary drivers for about 10 years now, and I haven’t come across a single issue with it in all that time.So. Well. That’s anecdotal evidence against anecdotal evidence, I guess.
But there’s people out there! (shudders)

<spuckt sein Müsli über den Tisch> Wo gibt’s 300 Mbit für EUR 40 monatlich? <recherchiert> Ahja, Vodafone. Eigentlich nicht schlecht. Wie sind deine Erfahrungen mit denen? Kriegt man bei denen eine eigene öffentliche IPv4-Adresse ohne CGNAT?
Sitze leider im tiefsten Rentnerviertel; hier kann man froh sein, wenn die Leitungen aus Kupfer sind und nicht noch Fachwerk. Glasfaser sollte verlegt werden, aber dann geriet die Deutsche Glasfaser an den Rand der Insolvenz. Mal sehen, wie das weitergeht. Für mein bisschen Homelab reichen mir 100 MBit (bzw. magere 40 im Upstream) derzeit noch aus. Das könnte aber anders werden, wenn ich mehr Nutzer dazubekomme, mit denen ich mir die schmale Upstream-Bandbreite teilen muss.
