What gave it away, the daily hateful rhetoric, the persecution of American citizens who look like they might be immigrants, the murder of peaceful protestors, the oppression of entire cities with ICE “surges”, or the concentration camps? How much more does it take before the other 4 in 10 start wondering if it’s a great place for Americans anymore, nevermind immigrants? Are they going to continue withholding judgement until the ovens and gas chambers are being used? Or has Fox News simply turned them all permanently into drooling red-hat-wearing Nazi ghouls?

It’s not really a foundational political position as much as it’s a simplistic coping strategy at this point. The firehose of awful is difficult to endure.

The revolution will not be televised, but the state propaganda definitely will be.

Never underestimate the bandwidth of a truck full of disks doing 75 mph on the highway.

If I understand correctly, the OS isn’t the problem, the radio frequencies are.

You get what you pay for. I’ve never met an offshored Indian developer who was paid what a western developer was paid. If I were them, I actively wouldn’t give a fuck either. I love my Indian colleagues, they are great people, and know how to have great parties. They’re way cooler when you realize they’re actual people and not code-bots.

Yes, it uses less than the public thinks, but it still uses too much. 1 ounce is too much. AI can fuck right off. It is not entitled to our world.

They seem underqualified. I mean, allegedly they know how to “torture”, but we don’t even have proof of that yet, and even if they do, that doesn’t mean they know how to torture children. ICE should probably maintain their strict standards to ensure they can do their job properly instead of hiring out to these sketchy “maybe able to torture undocumented children” third-parties.

You’ve got to understand though, Luciferia is a company that’s going places. Obviously people are going to want to work there when you see all the cutting edge research they’re doing. I mean they literally just built the first actual Torment Nexus… it used to only be purely science-fiction, like in that book “Don’t create the Torment Nexus” but they managed to make it a reality! Isn’t that incredible?

I don’t know where you’re seeing this, maybe this is a Fediverse thing, but I’m literally on [email protected] right now.

Hey ChatGPT, why is AI considered a loser technology?

I believe you, and I feel for you. The saddest part about AI is how it has tainted all high-effort, carefully organized work to the point that it makes it hard to distinguish between the most trustworthy content and the least trustworthy. We need better tools for information provenance. Like I said, the first thing I did was look into your backgrounds to try to understand “is this some AI slop bot or a real person with a real brain” and everything I looked at suggested it being legit and that’s why I decided to give you the benefit of the doubt. But that doubt is everywhere nowadays. It’s rough out there.

The formatting, style, cadence and tone feel very AI to me. The authors seem like real people with real history and I’m willing to give them the benefit of the doubt, the topic and status summarization is genuinely interesting whether it’s AI or not, but it’s hard not to feel a bit sus reading it.

That’s great for production AWS managed services, but that still sounds like the opposite of self-hosting to me, I don’t need scaling like that, I’m not lying when I admit I’m using sshfs (which was a slightly tongue-in-cheek counterpoint to s3) and despite everyone dunking on it, it is in fact working perfectly at my scale. I know I’ve been downvoted to purgatory but I still stand by my original comment. I don’t understand why you would need S3 or S3 compatibility in a self-hosting context. The closest someone has come to explaining it is the guy who said choice is good… like, yeah, it’s good to have the choice I guess, but… still doesn’t seem like a great choice for self-hosting. I appreciate you trying to explain it but I feel like everyone is missing the self-hosting context here. For a little home lab I simply don’t see the value. Why are people promoting AWS and AWS-adjacent services here?

So we’re getting it from all the drug dealers we’re killing? Great! Is there a polymarket bet for how long it will be before I can buy the gold extracted from the fillings of people dying in the concentration camps? I’m so happy to be living in the time of the Fourth Reich. /s

And if you add wings anyway, you’re going to have a really bad day.

So enlighten me then, save me from my terrible hack that is working fine for me and tell me what it DOES have to do with. I thought S3 was a remote filesystem you can use, essentially Amazon’s proprietary version of webdav where you get a http bucket you can only access with aws proprietary tools. What’s the attraction? Clearly it seems like people love it, and I am getting dunked on for asking an honest question, which feels a bit unhealthy and unpleasant for the self-hosting community.

Am I supposed to be familiar with AWS infrastructure as a prerequisite for being here?

Yes that’s exactly what he said, all the worst of humanity. (partial sarcasm. maybe.)

S3 compatibility is nice I guess if you need S3 compatibility but also… why would you need that?

sshfs does everything I need and compatibility is almost native.
