    I wish I could like it. I followed the install directions to a tee, had it working, came across a random bug, hasn’t worked since. Posted an issue and devs said it must be related to using IPv6, but I’m using IPv4. That was a week ago. This is my second time installing by the way, the first time had other issues.

    I’m just bummed because I spent all night changing all my services and DNS to Pangolin after it was working fine, then waking up to find all of them have failed. Had to revert to Cloudflare and I’m probably going to need to spin up another VPS if devs aren’t sure either.








  • You are misunderstanding the tech. That’s not how this works, models are trained often, did you think this was done only a few years ago? The fact that you called them bots says everything.

    You’re just hating to hate on something, without understanding the technology. The efficiency I’m referring to is the MoE architecture that only got popular within the last year. There are still new architectures being developed, not that you care about this topic but would prefer to blindly hate on what’s spewed from outdated and biased news sources.


  • As with almost all technology, AI tech is evolving into different architectures that aren’t wasteful at all. There are now powerful models we can run that don’t even require a GPU, which is where most of that power was needed.

    The one wrong thing with your take is the lack of vision as to how technology changes and evolves over time. We had computers the size of rooms to run processes that our mobile phones can now run hundreds of times more efficiently and powerfully.

    Your other points are valid, people don’t realize how AI will change the world. They don’t realize how soon people will stop thinking for themselves in a lot of ways. We already see how critical thinking drops with lots of AI usage, and big tech is only thinking of how to replace their staff with it and keep consumers engaged with it.

    Human history disagrees with you. At every single point in our existence, we have been trash. Doesn’t matter what they believed in, what era, what continent, humans have always slaughtered, raped, taken, abused, etc., to get what they wanted.



  • Fredthefishlord made some great points. Your timeline is completely off and unrealistic. The major controversies surrounding Musk have only really come to light in the past couple years. Before that, buying a Tesla was seen as a green, eco-friendly option with newer technology. Expecting people to trade in their Tesla immediately, or even within a year or so, is just unrealistic.

    Second, financing exists. Not everyone who buys a nice car is well off or in a position to trade it in, and even if they are, that doesn’t mean it’s the best option for them. Trade-ins still usually require a deposit if you want something equally beneficial. Not everyone can afford that, especially with how recent all of this is. You act like this was some long-term open secret when in reality a lot of people bought their cars before any of this was common knowledge.

    You argue like a Republican. You ignore the actual points made just so you can keep pushing this closed-minded idea that everyone should see everything exactly as you do and act at the exact pace you expect. If they don’t, they deserve to be attacked and have their car destroyed, even if it’s their only way to work and make the money they’d need to replace it. That’s absurd.

    This is just selfish and short-sighted. “They don’t think like me so attack them until they do” is not activism, it’s just stupidity. You’re advocating for harming random people (yes harming people’s method of travel/income is harming their livelihood) who might not even support Musk, just because you assume they do. At best you’re wasting energy. At worst you’re hurting people who don’t deserve it.






  • I download all my content to my laptop/phone and then just run a server from there, either using jellyfin, vlc, or casting software to my firestick.

    But since it’s a month long, it’s a decent amount of content. I mean, you’re already planning on buying ram so you could spin up a virtual server for like 15 bucks or less and just use that for a month.

    Also since you’re bringing this pc, it doesn’t have to be crazy. I’d just use Windows or any OS you have and serve my content on the network using Jellyfin or VLC. Since it’s jellyfin you can use their clients and avoid transcending, and should be set on a mini pc.


  • That’s a fair opinion. I could never imagine contracting someone to put content on my website, then making my end users pay to even see that content just so I can ensure I can pay my writers, knowing it drives most traffic away. An ethical and intelligent website host would ensure more consistent and effective ways of bringing in income, which is their responsibility.

    We live in a digital age where most of everything on the internet is free. Putting your site behind a paywall is a surefire way to ensure your website will receive less traffic in this day and age, but to each to their own.
