The types of AI you mention at the start of your comment has been around for years and isn’t exactly the problem we’re facing as far as I have researched. The AI bubble is a result of the hype around transformer-based generative AI and not so much about AI itself. Neither datacenters nor AI are a new thing and up until 2020 they weren’t as much as a problem as they are today due to the hype and increasing demands by these large models.

The problem is literally a scaling issue for generative AI and those that decide to build new datacenters just for this usage are ignorant to the environmental and socioeconomic issues as being the limiters that they should be.

If only there were more support for reticulum.

You’re giving them too much trust. The only way to be sure that Microsoft isn’t embedding malware into your systems is to not use their software.

You might be interested in GadgetBridge.

It’s hardly their fault for thinking it was related to the AI LLM or multimodal models when in all actuality the article states that these “large physics models” may be any sort of configuration, including LLM transformers:

the models may use the transformer architecture that underlies LLMs, a generalized version of convolutional neural networks known as geometric deep learning, or an architecture that can solve partial differential equations called neural operators.

It seemed you really needed to take your frustrations out on someone else’s comment.

It said a preview was available for thousands of dollars but the full database is selling for hundreds of thousands. That seems more realistic for risk & storage/hosting costs.

I would love to see the exploit. There are vulnerabilities discovered everyday that amount to very little in terms of use in real world implementations.

I actually have one I’m not using at the moment. The switches at within the back cover but that’s easily able to be reached within 5 seconds or so with no tools. It’s not exactly something you would be flipping on and off regularly though unless you had a very specific use case.

Anything that isn’t a hardware switch potentially leads itself to being bypassed, so the switches are your best bet for being sure it’s disabled.

Edit: there’s also this (I linked the case which shows the switches) phone which has switches on the outside for this purpose. I don’t know anyone who has used this one however.

New technology is released into medical field and executive board thinks “how can we harm people with this?”

This is actually incorrect. If you check the birthdate Pull Request changelog and compare with the actual files, all of those changes are still in place. The decision to revert was rejected by ‘poettering’ here.

I’d agree with you, except that it’s clear that the political systems we live under are flawed/non-functional. Non-compliance may be our next best shot at stopping these laws from getting any more traction.

It’s clear to me with the stance that the dev that closed the revert pull request that they aren’t willing to form any resistance to these types of changes. Actually, the revert pull request stated that their request was due to a number of people discussing the matter and they ultimately decided that there could be harm inflicted, yet the dev ‘poettering’ decided to supercede this decision. Not only is this the first crack in a hold-the-line situation with other major FOSS projects refusing to make the change but also shows their hand at how they stance themselves politically.

I was literally just thinking this right before reading your comment. There is no justification for this implementation outside of controlling and tracking your citizens.

Also, it’s nearly impossible to implement how they want since IOT devices exist so it doesn’t really make any sense as ruled.

This is actually supported by GrapheneOS currently, if you need that extra push. 😉

Not to mention that the flames while combusing are invisible by sight. It’s also really difficult to keep contained and if it leaks it has ~11x the impact of CO2 per this article.

I used to like the idea of hydrogen as an energy medium but all of its attributes combined just make it really infeasible to use except for immediate applications.

Are you looking for something like swhkd maybe?

I both love it and hate it so much.

Just delete the configuration.nix file along with all backups of it and its easy to not look back. At least that did it for me since my system needed specific boot settings to even work and relearning all that wasn’t worth it.

Solution: don’t run hosted services on your edge appliance.

In OP’s case, I’d use the RPi for the OpenWRT router and the miniPC for any relatively small hosted services I need. That way you can keep your services in its own DMZ away from your IOT devices assuming you have a smart tv/roku/firestick or other random likely vulnerable devices.

Network segment everything you can, but at the very least, I’d keep your services off of the device that is separating your LAN from WAN.

You’re right. It is easy to make these comments but it’s also a cautionary tale. It’s becoming increasingly difficult to use something within a “walled garden” but also retain ownership/access of it yourself.

Just having an external HDD for a backup goes a long way.

Good idea. Let’s just do what the fascists are doing. That’ll show them!
