Libredirect is great, just added it to firefox! I can finally watch all those tiktok links people send me lol
& for anyone else thinking of trying it, if a site won’t load change your default proxy instance :)

It varies depending on location. A more accurate name would be global weirding. Some places will get wetter, some drier, some areas will get much warmer, some will have more extreme cold events.
We might see a shift in air currents making the Sahara desert move back to being a grassland and Europe could lose much of its rainfall. Established agriculture will likely have a hard time adjusting to the new climate and could cause global food scarcity.

That tech looks super cool & might be worth waiting for, but from what I’ve been reading it is still being perfected and will likely see big improvements fairly quickly after release.
Heres a clip from this article I think is relevent: Teh said the new drives have double the capacity of storage systems using conventional 16TB perpendicular magnetic recording (PMR) drives, and this can be doubled again over the next four years. The company is projecting 4TB platters in the next couple of years, with 5TB coming shortly thereafter, and 6TB out beyond the current roadmap.
So there’s a chance you wait for those drives, pay a little extra cuz the tech is new, then have something twice as good get released a year or two later.
It’s definetly a tricky situation & ultimately up to you and what you want. Do you need that extra storage asap, or is it more of a eventually kind thing? Does new tech have its own intrinsic value to you, or is it more about price per terabyte?
Good luck with your decision! I know how hard these kind of choices can be. You never know what the market will look like after you finally make that big purchase.
There are a number of storage technologies in the works right now. However, I think they will result in a new type of memory device rather than HDDs getting cheaper. Kind of like how a stack of CDs isn’t cheaper now than it was in 2005, rather there are new types of storage that offer more memory and longer life spans.
So if you are definetly going HDD, prices are probably not going to get that much cheaper, if any cheaper at all.
I’d say keep an eye out for sales & that will probably make a bigger difference than waiting a set amount of time.
I would think so. Unless there’s another bald man with musk beef lol
Honestly 100% unemployed becuase we have a good universal income system or something would be great. But sadly it looks like we’re in a different timeline :(
Mesh networks have been made using ham radios! It’s not ready for the general public since you need a ham operators lisence & their range is limited by line of sight. But if you own a large property, you can network your own space using the tech. It’s also a good back up in the case of a large scale infrastructure disruption.
Heres a link :)
I hope you know you’re a gift to humanity 🤣
Yes sir, thank you sir. And this one is bailey’s, and this one is bailey’s a bit bigger, and this one is about as close as you can get to baileys without gettin’ your eyes wet.
What a treasure trove of deep sea anus jokes I didn’t realize I needed in my life lmao
Chiming in to say that on my asus laptop, the start up button is f12! Press as soon as the first logo appears on the screen. It might take a few times to get the timing right, if you miss it just restart the computer.
It should take you to a menu that looks like a classic hacker screen (blue screen with pixilated text, no clickable UI). Then go to the boot options and select the USB.
The potential for self hosted AI is there! I’ve seen a few projects in the works, and if youre tech saavy you can spin up your own. It is pretty resource intensive, but could be run on a home server.
I’m pretty excited to have my own personal AI, vut i want one that is trained on data I select and who only phones home to my server lol.
Super interesting to read your more technical perspective. I also think facial recognition (and honestly most AI use cases) are best when used to supplement an existing system. Such as flagging a potential shoplifter to human security.
Sadly most people don’t really understand the tech they use for work. If the computer tells them something they just kind of blindly believe it. Especially in a work environment where they have been trained to do what the machine says.
My guess is that the people were trained on how to use the system at a very basic level. Troubleshooting and understanding the potential for error typically isn’t covered in 30min corporate instructional meetings. They just get a little notice saying a shoplifter is in the store and act on that without thinking.
Definetly! AI is a tool and still needs a human to manage it. It works best when used to augment existing work flows & when used by someone who is able to fine tune what it’s doing when necessary.
Even AI security could be helpful to flag things for a human to then look into, but giving it complete authority is going to lead to so many issues.
Excited for the new book :) I’m hoping this time around I’ll be able to actually make it to the Sunday meetings
Don’t let the perfect be the enemy of the good. Discord is well known to many people & there isn’t a good open source group call and message system.
It would be awesome if there was another choice, but I’d rather have discord book club than no book club at all.
Wow! So beautiful :) fig trees really are something special
Super useful links, thanks for sharing :) it’s so cool to see all the different ways people have approached the questions & all the different solutions they came up with.
Maybe I’m just a sucker for plants on buildings though lol
Schools (and government entities in general) really need to invest on setting up their own apps and programs for things like this. So much public school money gets wasted on paying for access to buggy and poorly maintained systems.
I work in a public school and it’s so frustrating to know a company is making bank for offering a mediocre middle man app, it hurts the Schools budget, the students, and in this case the families of all those students.
