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

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

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

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

Why must this happen when I was planned to go to the Oktoberfest :(

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…

I‘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 🤔

Platform user analytics are standard stuff, but this seems sus...

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 I‘m waiting for the AMD Ryzen AI MAX+ 395 mini PC to arrive to finalize the setup.

I can‘t recommend #proxmox and #dietpi enough.

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? I‘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.

This is the most expected application I was hoping to see.

It was the choice of Steins;Gate.

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.

Guards detection system is more responsive!! ⚠️
And also contagious, if a guard is alerted, guards around will also be alerted

I saw a lot of YT videos saying “Science 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 “edge case.”

Because dommy mommy was too thicc to fit our model.

Here is MoM-z14, the most distant galaxy spectroscopically confirmed to date.

It is an extraordinarily luminous galaxy, discovered by a research team using #JWST, which has broken its previous record.

Research paper➡️ arxiv.org/abs/2505.11263

🔭 🧪 #science #cosmology #Webb
MoM-z14, the most distant galaxy spectroscopically confirmed so far, observed by the James Webb Space Telescope appears as a small, extremely compact object with a reddish color, due to the cosmological redshift, which shifts UV/visible light towards the infrared due to the expansion of the universe.

I just found my new home. And I’m tempted to open a PR and package Pony Diffusion so this can catch up to the market trend.

We finally have a contract/mission system! ⚠️
It still needs some polishing, but it's really satiffying to see the game!

Why does a document-scanning app need my fucking personal data to train AI?

This is the worst fucking timeline. The Internet was killed by capitalism when the start was pure admiration.
