I love Debian, but it’s installer is shit.

Centralized identity service like how you can use a google/github account to sign into services like Tailscale.

So OIDC for ActivityPub.

I like it. That is absolutely how Mastodon and Fediverse in general should have been prepared for the X-odus. But instead it all ends up over at Bluesky where it will inevitably turn to dogshit.

BYOI

It’s pretty much the same thing as using services that you can’t self-host and fork. I won’t spend time on any technology that I’m locked into using their app or a login. Is that pompous? I’ve used various services and technology that are proprietary, and invariably it’s bit me in the ass because they have a captive audience.

I will never use a smarthome device that has to have a cloud account or would be bricked without an internet connection, because eventually it will be a brick because the profit incentive says brick it and get the marks to buy another one. That’s the point of that comment.

Whale blubber?

I think sarcasm is dead.

The mod is a thinskinned little pissbaby with bad takes. Just block it.

Holy cow, what a Bluesky shill account.

These are topcon modules only. Considering a 400W panel will have about 72 modules in it, that’s only about 15 panels worth. Of course, then you have to actually build the panel and connect the modules, put it behind glass inside a frame, then put in a bypass diode and leads for connection. So an actual panel ends up being about 5-10X the cost of the modules per W.

Maybe crowdsource hitmen.

I think 17M is enough for critical mass. It’ll snowball now, it’s probably a lot more than Mastodon has seen.

I believe this about as much as I believed the “We’re about to experience the AI singularity” morons.

Blame Baloo. It’s always Baloo.

I know they have helicopters, I’ve been in a couple. They’re pretty janky and cheap. Maybe there’s farmers with million-dollar helicopters, but I haven’t heard of one.

Edit: they’re shitboxes like this: https://www.pbs.org/video/helicopter-cowboys-wrangle-cattle-australia-tahs67/

“They could buy five X2s for the price it would take to [replace the engine] in their regular helicopter.”

Australian farmers aren’t buying million dollar helicopters to herd cattle. I don’t know what the author is smoking.

Did you run 5000 ESX hosts? Then they don’t give a flying fuck.

Why, yes, I believe I will gladly pay for your AI Notepad bullshit, Microsoft! Sign me right the fuck up.
