  • VPNs are to protect you against your ISP, that is about it. I guess sailing the high seas also since fingerprinting doesn't apply as much. Also getting around authoritarian government blocks.

    It is a small piece of the puzzle.

  • That is exactly how they want it to work.

    They don't give a flying shit about children. Otherwise they would arrest the literal thousands of known, active child predators. Hell, one of the most powerful people in the country is a confirmed child abuser and child rapist and they gave him a ton of money and he is walking around free.

    This is just a surveillance framework for a fascist future they want. They arrest protestors against a genocide of a fascist regime and support pedophile child abusers. They are literally just having trials for people arrested protesting where the defense is not allowed to give any evidence and the jury is not allowed to know that the judge is secretly gluing on a "terrorism" charge after the jury comes to a conclusion and has to decide guilty with no available defense evidence and the all but direct instructions from the judge to convict.

    Just like how they made not being fascist "terrorism" in America. It is all a ploy to set up AI surveillance to actually make fascism succeed this time and not be limited in control by manpower like before.

  • What do you use for selfhosting cloud storage?

    Jump

  • Wanted to setup opencloud but it doesn't work without 3-4 additional containers and CNAMEs on the domain.

    I simply wanted to spin it up locally and test it out, but it doesn't accept any admin credentials whatsoever and wiping every file to completely restart leads to the same behavior.

    If the simplest bit of startup flow local first time login doesn't work, then why would the rest and why would I trust it? Also it isn't a certificate error with not setting up SSL or something because I also tried it on my domain with all the correct certificates and got the exact same behavior. It doesn't even allow you to try a different admin password when it claims that the last is wrong. You get one try and otherwise have to wipe the entire volume.

    There are issues on github for it and workarounds with very YMMV results, for me none of it worked.

    AI radio hosts demonstrate why AI can’t be trusted alone - Claude tried to incite a revolution, Gemini cheerfully detailed horrific tragedies, and poor Grok was just confused.

  • Yeah but I would honestly think that a revolution of the people is worth some plagiarism if that is what tipped everything over the edge.

  • Why aren't more people using Codeberg or something open source

  • There is ambiguity in their ToS regarding commercial projects.

    They have said that they have to clear it up IIRC because they aren't against it, they just have to figure out what to officially allow and not or something.

    Gittea also for closed source/companies who don't want to host their own repos.

  • [Jeff Geerling] I'm never buying a Bambu Lab 3D printer again

    Jump

  • True, many many companies have solid works because they invest heavily in marketing to universities, but holy shit it is slow, horrible, buggy, and crashes a ton, but it has a good ecosystem with Altium for mechanical+ electrical design so companies get locked in. It is all about marketing.

    Creo (I think that was it) is really the way to go. Like FreeCAD, it is not very intuitive, but it can handle assemblies that would send solid works and inventor into the depths of error and lagging hell.

  • It seems that you have only used Pre-1.0/1.1 FreeCAD from your description.

    I have done some pretty complex designs with it, but the topological naming problem was really bad then.

    It has improved greatly, has good defaults now, and I have yet to have any sort of crash at all and so far.

    Sure, not perfect, nor even "great" and without all of the quality of life tools as F360, but it also doesn't bend you over like F360 does. Development has sped up a ton in the past couple years too. I am hoping it is on par with what F360 was before enshittification in 5 years or so.

    Sadly, F360 has been spiraling downhill for a while. Everyone who uses it a lot (and especially professionally) is complaining how terribly slow and buggy it is and gets worse with every update. Apparently rampant memory leak crashes, calculation crashes, and skyrocketing prices.

    Lithium deposit valued at over $1.5 trillion discovered in the U.S.

    Jump

  • They need about 30-50% more space that Lithium Ion, yes. Of course, people love to compare this even though lithium ion isn't used anyway for the same application because it only lasts for 500 charge cycles where first gen sodium already lasted for 3000.

    But in a country where data centers the size of major cities are being put everywhere, space is literally a non-issue.

    But that is comparing them to lithium ion and LiPo. They have a ton of advantages over lithium ion.

    They are really competing against lithium iron phosphate which are EV and grid storage batteries. There, the very first gen still has like 20% less density than them but 2nd gen batteries are looking at exactly thr same density as lithium iron phospate. Now they are both fire-safe (sodium even better) and the difference is essentially cost (big sodium win), temperature performance (big sodium win, and discharge rate (LiFePO win over first gen) because they both have very high battery life.

    The only reason sodium ion wasn't picking up (and I mean the only) is because lithium prices crashed and 90% of the companies developing it were startups, so of course the venture capitalist parasites rug pulled the funding because they are so incredibly short sighted that they can't stand not having immediate maximum profit (even though lithium prices will go back up eventually at a much, much, much faster rate than sodium and is significantly more harmful to mine)

  • Roblox has A LOT of pedophiles and child predators/abusers that groom kids. Like a lot, one of the worst on the internet. It has been brought to the company's attention thousands of times and they outright say they don't care.

    Not only that, roblox doubled down on supporting pedophiles and actively bans "vigilantes" that try to unmask them or report them to authorities. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a5PTomkX1gU

  • Those in countries with universal healthcare, what's it like?

    Jump

  • Belgium here.

    Doctor is 5€ or so, but your general doctor can't do almost anything but prescribe things or refer you, which is enough for most general sicknesses.

    Then you have to go to the hospital for a scan or follow up, usually within the same week, or you can go to the emergency room for something like a break and they will see you immediately (of course, like in the US, you will often have to wait an hour or 3 depending on the time of day). Then for all the tests and everything it is usually <100€, for me I have never had more than 50€ but I haven't had a break where I had to get immediate care.

    Specialists take a long time to see otherwise, often months, but from what I hear from friends in the US, the wait time is usually longer there.
