Hah, I was about to comment that there's no doubt some fine print in there that does still allow a shell company to buy, so while the book looks great, the story is shit!

No, but in a rollover, your massive truck or SUV is very heavy. That's why pillars have increased so much.

Well, Touché

But you'd have to go into it knowing that's happening. I wouldn't otherwise want this around for any other reason. Personally.

Absolutely disgusting. Who would intentionally broadcast this??? "Hey guys, I'm not home and won't be for a while, so please rob me!"

Its terrible how the auto industry responds with "we'll install pedestrian sensors with auto braking" instead of trimming back the massive sizes and 50% bigger blind spots. And go figure they cost about the same to make, yet charge so much extra money... No wonder the avg vehicle is over $50k, cuz trucks and SUVs have surpassed 70k on avg smh.

What would it take to keep it alive? A Hetzner VPS, a reasonable self-hosting?

I've got some resources available, plenty of bandwidth, and could possibly help out depending on needs. I also don't know much about hosting fediverse stuff, but I do have some of my own stuff and services I host already.

Oh yeah?! Which company?

Any reason to use AI and not pay humans!

My dad and his best friend did that when they were growing up. Now we all speak it and so do our kids. Nothing fancy, but most people look confused when they overhear it.

When its to good to be true, it usually is. Probably not sustainable and will shut down eventually.

I remember the initial boom of free or cheap clouds, most are gone. Thankfully I didn't keep anything important that wasn't already backed up

The funny thing is, we all thought my parents made it up to talk in code around us kids. When we learned that his friend knows it too, I've always wondered if those kids know it and a whole slew of other people too possibly.

Heck yeah!! Good to know as I have nearing 100TB of storage 😅. Would be nice to shave that down a little!

Do tell

All your base are belong to us.

Just remember, for scale:

1m seconds = 11.5 days

1b seconds = 31.7 years

1t seconds = 317 centuries (31,709 years)

While I know it's not cash on hand and it's net worth, it's still the principal that he's allowed to be CEO of ~5 businesses while others are shamed and called out for "over employment", and so many around the world struggle, while he gets to use his money to influence politics, and change things to benefit himself at the expense of others.

Dude this isn't kindergarten. Talk about deaf ears!

Desensitization

Oh good

Some drives are older. My 8TBs are 2019 enterprise SAS and are meant to be on all day. They don't get much workout cuz once full they're not doing a ton of writing. So they'll last. Lady year picked up several 16TBs before the price jumped. Thankful I pay attention and jumped on it when I did!

I've ripped all ~2.5kDVDs, ~1.2k BD, and ~600 4K BD (plus several dozen 3D) I keep pretty high quality copies, strip multi lang or auto tracks and stick to higher DTS or Dolby, strip subtitles, etc.

Crazily, I keep a 2nd "older" 7700K for playing the DVD and BD content for friends and family, I do the better stuff for me and a couple friends who actually care about quality. Now I need to add JF alongside Plex and Emby just bc.
