If I’m being honest the only Microsoft product I actually like is Excel.

The Chinese claim they invited Revenge bedtime procrastination in 2014. Based on my entire life, I have determined that is a lie. But a 72 hour work week sounds pretty brutal.

8tb on one chip? As Bill Gates once said “Damn, that’s a shit load of ram.”

I hate Reddit as much as the next guy but that just sounds like an asshole mod

When I dropped LastPass I found Bitwarden and liked them mainly because of the open source. I pay them for the software so that it can remain free and open. If that stopped, I would also stop paying them for it.

Sounds interesting. I know there’s technologies like LorA and BLE that create networks on different frequencies other than what standard wifi uses. But they don’t really have a lot of bandwidth.

Are you talking about Ham radio

Gotcha, https://paulgo.io/search seems to be working if you want to try a public instance of SearxNG. I’m also a class of 2000 damn dirty millennial.

I’ve self hosted a SearxNG for about a year now. If your familiar with docker it’s pretty easy. I always forget I have it because I pay for Kagi, but I set it up so ollama could use it. It absolutely seems better than going directly to Google or Bing.

My kids are around that age and it’s a real struggle when all of their friends have one.

Same boat dude. That’s how I got YouTube premium. I uploaded like 500 GB of music for Google Music to host it and I could stream my own collection. Now I use Navidrome and my own server.

It’s only a matter of time until the premium users get ads. Just like Netflix, and cable TV before that. You will inevitably wind up paying to be advertised to.

True, but it wasn’t the cloud provider that caught it. They just forwarded the letter to me from the company that monitors torrent swarms and records IPs.

Lol, I’ve been on that train for a decade. I just wanted to try using my own personal VPN server to torrent which kinda defeats the purpose of a VPN I guess.

So I’ve rented a server for years. It’s in the US and it’s a couple bucks a month. It’s fun to play with and I use it however I want. I’ve had an email server, a next cloud instance, and an open VPN instance to name a few things on it. Well I decided to connect a torrent client from my home to the openvpn instance on my server to see if I could do it. It worked really well until the company I rent from forwarded the DMCA hit back to me for downloading Rick and Morty. I should’ve known better but I thought a nameless faceless server farm wouldn’t be worth the hassle of a DMCA but I was wrong.

Getting some Dr. Zaius vibes.

Sounds interesting. Have you tried to film it?

That was pretty normal when I was 10. I was born in the 80s. It was novel like TV in the 1950s or radio in the 1920s.

got my game shows mixed up

Why do you say it’s a scam? I have not found a better alternative that produces decent search results. It’s not incentivized to send you to any particular websites, and I can personalize the results how I like.
