Not gonna have much electricity left with all this AI. This self-inflicted energy crisis sucks.

100gbit DAC cables are widely available for $30, mch cheaper than these 96gbit cables will be. Optical cables are $120 due to the transceivers, but also reasonable. You can also use off the shelf fiber so your length is infinite with the optical cables.

Pretty sure the feds did that by charging him with terrorism.
Legal eagle did a video about it. If they only charged him with murder, all they would talk about in the court room would be the cctv footage and weapon. Because they charged him with terrorism, they have to prove he had a specific political motive, which means the court case will drag on for months discussing his motive. The public will have plenty of opportunities to discuss Brian Thompson during the trial, as long as the media is still interested in publishing it.
(Also, by charging Mangione with terrorism, the prosecution is running a big risk of not meeting the standard for terrorism or politicizing the jury so much that they nullify)
only need dedup if your data is duplicated
Nope, you don’t need any VPS to use it, it comes with an SFTP interface.

offsite backup for $2/TB and no download fees, 1/3rd the price of B2.
Very cool! Fun fact, this is basically a simplified version of bitcoin mining.
In order to mine a reward of 3 bitcoin, you just need to find a sha-256 hash that is lower than 2.7×10⁶⁷
https://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/85896/mining-difficulty-and-leading-zeros
The world currently calculates around 780 bitcoin exahashes/s, so one of these $300k hashes is found about every 10 minutes on average.

Hetzner storage box is super cheap and works with rclone. They have a web interface for configuring regular zfs snapshots too so you don’t have to worry about accidental deletions/ransomware.
Hardware-wise:
- Reorganize my networking closet and rack up my switches
- Replace my core switch with 10 gbit, connect up 10Gbit fiber to my laptop dock and one of my nodes still on copper
- Add 3 more nodes to my cluster with nvme storage so that I can start an erasure-coding pool in ceph.
Software wise, too many projects to count lol
Absolutely not. All of that is false. Autonomous cars in the US have not shown to have a lower accident rate compared to human drivers. This whole idea of increasing speed limits will also greatly increase the fatality rate of pedestrians and bicyclists.
As was already mentioned in the thread, autonomous cars are trained on American drivers. American drivers are so bad that they’re not allowed to drive in Europe if they’re not a tourist. Here in Sweden, the traffic fatality rate rate is 20 a year per 1 million people, and dropping. The current fatality rate in the us is 129 deaths a year per 1 million people and rising. 43000 dead a year. 0.1% of the US dies off every decade to their own shitty driving. Letting AIs trained by Americans drive cars in Europe will be a bloodbath.
American roads are developing-country bad. I was in DC last month and saw a dozen people with children in the car, texting while driving. I emigrated out of that country and got a real driver’s license here in Sweden. Keep American car culture out of Europe.
Every European country already has proven autonomous electric vehicles called trains, we don’t need Tesla and Google trying to sell us their shitty US version.
I think the lack of a system tray in gnome is a case of perfect of being the enemy of good.
how *Americans would behave.
We really don’t want Americans’ autonomous vehicles here.
sincerely,
Europe

Renovate is a very useful tool for automatically updating containers. It just watches a git repo and automatically updates stuff.
I have it configured to automatically deploy minor updates, and for bigger updates, it opens a pull request and sends me an email.
Yeah full VMs are pretty old school, there are a lot more management options and automation available with containers. Not to mention the compute overhead.
Red Hat doesn’t even recommend businesses to use VMs anymore, and they offer a virtualization tool that runs the VMs inside a container for legacy apps. Its called Openshift Virtualization.
Yeah unraid is the same, it just adds a Gui to make it easier to learn. The downside is that unraid is very non-standard and is basically impossible to back up or manage in source control like vanilla docker or kubernetes
You should keep your docker/kubernetes configuration saved in git, and then have something like rclone take daily backups of all your data to something like a hetzner storage box. That is the setup I have.
My entire kubernetes configuration: https://codeberg.org/jlh/h5b/src/branch/main/argo/custom_applications
My backup cronjob: https://codeberg.org/jlh/h5b/src/branch/main/argo/custom_applications/backups/rclone-velero.yaml
With something like this, your entire setup could crash and burn, and you would still have everything you need to restore safely stored offsite.
Maybe crowdsec could add a list for blocking scraping for LLMs
