I’ve hosted the webm and a transcoded mp4 on my servers as well.

Russia must’ve learned the art of Juche necromancy

Some of the comments on that post are hilarious. “This makes it look like America is fascist.” Yeah, I wonder why.

Wow, the US was able to shoot down a balloon that has no weapons and can’t defend itself?? This is so impressive. We truly have the best military in the world. /s

It feels like we’re living in an alternate reality where The Onion is a serious, non-satirical news source

How to make an “advanced” western military:

1. Make stuff that breaks constantly
2. When it breaks, fix it with glue
3. Done. You can now claim you’re better than everyone else because you have an “advanced” military.

How do people live with unread notifications? My brain won’t let me. If there’s a number next to the icon, my brain will not calm down until I have read, and responded to if necessary, every single notification. If I was in a situation where I had >500 notifications, the entire day would be spent just reading and responding to every single one. The only way I can avoid it is to never see the notifications at all.

Let me finish those libs’ sentence: “Capitalism breeds innovation in new ways to exploit the proletariat and, being the bootlickers we are, we’re hoping that saying this is going to lead to us not being exploited as much.”

That’s not the only one either, there’s a sequel

Not to mention the fact that you can feel infrared as heat

I completely agree. I am absolutely sick of Ukraine and that clown Zelenskiy at this point. I wish they’d just accept the fact that the fascists are going to lose again and stop talking about it.

It’s so weird how it disappeared from Twitter. I wonder why that happened.

This place is much better than Reddit. I can actually say stuff without being bombarded by libs who think they’re going to convince me they’re right by assuming I’m Chinese because I’m a communist (This has happened multiple times, and I’m not even close, my family is a mix of Armenian and Russian, and I was born in the US) and then informing me that I’m being paid by the Chinese government to post propaganda (I wish)

So, essentially, there’s a perception in the US that nuclear reactors are always at risk of catastrophic failure and that if this happens, it will be as bad as Chernobyl. Therefore, they oppose anything even remotely related to nuclear power. Of course, this perception has been very intentionally created by the fossil fuel oligarchs.

At this point, it’s been so drilled into the heads of most people here that they just won’t listen to anything you have to say that counters this point of view.

I kept calm for the most part because he is an American teenager.

That’s not much of an excuse. I am a teenager born and living in the US. I am also an ML. Before becoming an ML, I never really thought about ideology, but I was anti-capitalist because I realized before I was even a teenager that the incentive structure of capitalism must lead to misery because it prioritizes capital over everything.

Is this the free speech all the libs here are talking about?

Well, they won’t be as powerful as a Xeon system. That is why I have my one intel server. Most of the services I run (I run 26 services), can run on low-power hardware easily (things like Invidious, Homeassistant, Cockpit, Node Red, Jellyfin, etc.). For these, I have SBCs. I currently run 9 Raspberry Pi 4s (8 as webservers, one as a recursive DNS server with Pi-Hole in front of it), 2 Pine H64s (one as my reverse proxy that provides access to the rest of my servers and one as my TV box running Kodi), and a RockPro64 handling more intensive stuff like the Matrix homeserver. My Intel machine is an old Mac Mini which I’ve upgraded the storage (500GB HDD to 1TB SSD) and RAM (4GB to 16GB) on and installed Debian. On that, I run things that require either a lot of power or a lot of storage. For example, my Mac Mini hosts Gitea, Minio (open source Amazon S3 clone), Code Server (Online IDE), Nextcloud, Onlyoffice, and a Minecraft server.

SBCs are nice because they are cheap and very low power. All my servers connect to a single <$100 UPS and that lasts over an hour. Of course, the downside is that if you have a single service that needs a lot of compute power, you’ll need to use a separate server for that, which is what my Mac Mini is for.

Edit: By the way, I’ve seen you on Matrix. My username on there is Heisenbug.

There is also ARM. Nearly all my servers use ARM chips. I only have one Intel server and it’s not even a new chip (3rd gen i7).

Yeah, it is often slower than Discord. The reason for this is that it’s decentralized and encrypted. It’s slow because it’s secure. I’d rather lose a few minutes of time than have the US government spy on me.

Yes, Capitalism does in fact create innovation, in precisely the wrong direction.
