I don't want to toot my own horn here, but thank God I was self-host most shit, rarely relying on cloud hosts.

It's not just you: A ton of services are down or facing issues right now Users of services like Snapchat, the PlayStation Network, and Signal have reported connectivity issues. Here's what you need to know.

I will say it again.

858TB gone forever: South Korea's data center fire shows the cost of no backups On September 26, technicians were relocating lithium-ion batteries in the NIRS data center. Forty minutes later, the batteries exploded, causing a blazing inferno

I was right to be paranoid and #selfhost everything several layers of encrypted backups.

Iβ€˜m getting proud of my #homelab. Or at least I can justify the cost I put in lol

Okay, so disk #forensics and data recovery is actually not that difficult.
You just need #dd and the #testdisk or #scalpel package.
But working with a bunch of NAS and limited computing power is daunting…

While I was migrating my internal servers, I found an issue with the ext4 inodes. So I did a full disk check and recovery using e2fsck and fsck.ext4.

I lost half of my generations worth of #corn collections…

Iβ€˜m sad now. Either I learn disk forensics, or I touch grass.

Very interesting how an #Perplexity, an AI search engine I pay for, has copious amounts of Pixel #trackers and Trace Contexts with some code alluding to advertised sources πŸ€”

I guess it's obvious, but I just noticed how much my #Meta Quest 3 #VR headset was passively sending data to #Facebook even if it's not used.

The data schema doesn't seem that bad, but I'm wondering the purpose of constantly sending this in the background.

Finally, a functioning #selfhosted cloud infra with split-horizon and HA using SBC nodes.
All under 80w during active usage!
Now Iβ€˜m waiting for the AMD Ryzen AI MAX+ 395 mini PC to arrive to finalize the setup.

I canβ€˜t recommend #proxmox and #dietpi enough.

Even the community has been complaining for a while!

I love privacy, but at least give the option for a "not protected" inbox or something so we can manage the shit ourselves while keeping our workflow.

I bet @proton.me program in Rust and use Arch BTW

I think #proton mail and VPN is really nice. Heck, even their password manager is really cool!

But fuck #ProtonCalendar. I get that they don't support CalDAV for security reasons (same reason for not supporting SMTP or POP3).

It's messing up all of my professional scheduling and mail clients.

Is this even legal? Iβ€˜ve only seen this kind of crowd financing on crypto projects, not for actual equity.

How can I capitalize the fall of capitalism and accumulate excessive wealth?

I guess a pitchfork business is a good start.

I was window shopping some domains at #namecheap, and I think I found what was killing the internet. #Cloudflare has a service to block AI web scrapers, and we have the other side actively populating the web with this BS.

holy shit, guys. After setting up #OMV and integrating it with #Tailscale, I feel like I've become the new internet. It's like using a bunch of VPNs to change which cluster I jack in my head.
Imagine a federated learning setup with this.

Has #LLM (or #SLM, in this case) gone too far?

Phi 4 thought about the entire mkdir man page and still refused to give me an answer. Energy well spent.

It’s an overexaggeration to say that science is panicking because the old Ξ›CDM timeline might be challenged.

In reality, it just means we just found a hole that can be filled with more exciting imaginations, and the younger generation can create a new foundation for science.

Sundials

To put this into perspective, humanity accepted the Geocentric model for more than 1,500 years, and they invented things like the Sundial (mathshistory.st-andrews.ac.uk/HistTopics/S...). If this model were wrong, it meant the concept of time was wrong.

I saw a lot of YT videos saying β€œScience found out that we’re inside another universe” or other misleading stuff. However, the only thing #MoM-z14 showed was that our past assumptions didn’t fit all cases. Literally an β€œedge case.”

Because dommy mommy was too thicc to fit our model.
