As a heuristic, I look at the commit dates to see if it’s still being maintained. And lately I look at the commits themselves for evidence of AI use. Then I’ll maybe do a web search for discussions to see what other people/the community has to say about it.

Gnuhealth looks like it may be dead (or at least the repo I found hasn’t had a commit in many years). (Nvm, they moved to codeberg which is a positive signal, IMO).

I think it’s illegal to use Reticulum over amatuer radio because it’s encrypted?

LoRa is very low bandwidth, only suitable for short text messages. Radio frequencies are heavily regulated, easy to triangulate, and can be shutdown. People could build a higher speed, planned WiFi mesh; hops just have to be closer. Neighborhoods could build cat6 and fiber into meshes if they wanted to as well.

That’s what stepmothers are for.

Half the living standards. Will be uncomfortable, and likely violent.

It’s meant to be an attempt at humor/sarcasm/engagement bait I think.

There’s a lot of loopholes. I think I read that it doesn’t affect Blackrock at all. It will affect Blackstone, but there are enough loopholes for them too.

I’ve done this (asked a frontier model red team my server), and it just gave me false alarms that I went investigating and weren’t really issues (would’ve been an issue if I had a very specific configuration, but not generally). They produce a lot of noise, so you still have to somewhat understand what you’re looking at/for. It didn’t find any legitimate issues, which is good I guess.

Governments are captured by these companies. Any regulation would undoubtedly benefit these companies at the peoples expense. Right now, the best solution is probably open research and open weight models to keep the field level.

Sovol due to openness. An enclosed or easily encloseable one (core-xy design) if you want to print ABS/ASA.

Proton can’t read your mail (big “*”); it’s decrypted client-side. Feeding it to their LLM would violate that. I’m unsure about their other services.

I don’t think Qwen 27B would make much sense. I’m pretty sure Deepseek is cheaper to serve at scale (because of the small active parameter set) and is “smarter.” At least that’s what is reflected by 3rd party provider pricing on Openrouter.

Reliable Proton Mail, Drive, Calendar and Contacts integration

I think this could cause major problems for privacy guarantees.

IIRC a lot of big tech are lobbying for these laws. Raises barrier of entry for competitors, and makes it easier to harvest more accurate data from users.

New EVs are something like $10k more expensive than comparable ICE vehicles, so there are some Chevrolet and Nissan models for ~$30k. The divide is probably even closer for used.

Same (but only 6 months). Min wage + commission. But, during election season, because the company didn’t get commission, they just had the computers run through the lists and have us immediately hang up instead of going through the campaign scripts.

My favorite way is Borscht. They’re pretty good grilled, then cut up, and put in salad too.

I got results kinda like that before when I tried a Volcano on an old Bowden style printer and printing wet PETG… Tons of oozing.

I don’t really store stuff like this (well, I do use immich). If I really cared about this kind of stuff, I’d probably self-host, but encrypt archives and backup to cloud storage. For small files (e.g. documents/text), I used to use Syncthing, since it was unlikely that all my devices would get destroyed at the same time, but now I just use Proton Drive since I’m already paying for email and VPN.

A project like this would need to be open source, and encryption needs to happen client-side for trust.

Docker (and in my case, TrueNAS apps), with a single data volume to backup makes things a lot easier.

We need to bring back reverse dominance hierarchy. Even in systems more “fair” like democracy, many of the most popular politicians are just shitty people very good at manipulation. Just picking people at random to serve would probably produce better results.

I think it saved my grandparents quite a bit of money. They didn’t need to can too much; mostly just canned pizza sauce and green beans. I don’t think they wasted much either. A lot of what they grew had a good shelf life (e.g. squash). The would also fry lawn weeds, like plantain and dandelions. It supplemented what they got from the food pantry.
