For real. People don’t understand how powerful targeted propaganda is. A lot of the most radical and armed in the US were intentionally targeted so now all of their media, friends, friends media are all saying the same thing and telling them everything else is a lie.

This story for example is, on the right, just the Democrats and deep state trying to Elon now that he is exposing REAL corruption.

We are arguing different facts, arguably because so much of media is just “trusted sources” instead of anything verifiable anymore

They very much do not believe that open source means safe or private. They have a tons of articles talking about the hurdles they have gone through to try and ensure they are, and where and when they have failed to do so.

There has been a lot of greatness in US, but the people fighting the good fights seem to be losing right now. Just slowly, a little year by year. Hopefully this a kick in the pants too fucking far and we wake the fuck up and see we have to actually do something about it.

There is a decent push for unions to try and sync their contract negotiations to 2028 right now. https://socialistcall.com/2024/07/15/are-we-up-for-a-general-strike-in-2028/

We have laws prohibiting general strikes so we have to have work arounds to be fully effective.

For directly working class facing work Im in favor of people working, helping and serving each other but just refusing to do work related to taking payments. Maybe hand them food in the first window and have the next window just say closed on strike.

The largest tech sector union I know of is the Tech Workers Coalition that got a shout out last year at the DefCon keynote. Which I feel with the tech oligarchy and a fascist government working towards a public private partnership is more needed now then ever.

I’m commenting via Tor now. It’s not that bad

Tor

I had a systemd unit that ran it weekly after the update one ran. I feel like the default behavior though should be automatic purge old unused runtimes though too. I don’t see why that wouldn’t the case to me.

I’ve even gone so far as wanting to force run time changes underneath the packs because of Caves and such, but thats my niche and puts security over function.

Definitely not a free lunch sys admin wise, but it is still a marked improvement over native apps 98% of the time for me.

But the more apps the more the dedup is saving space

No doubt. Software emulation of different arches is still magic to me. Being able to run qemu to run just one program on the CLI as an arm bin was so neat

Chris Titus on YouTube had a decent break down of some the technical points he liked more about it.

If it coukd be baked before rather than at run time it feels like there might be some nuance there

This bit I feel like is the best explanation of what people mean when they say this.

I do it with k3s right now on fedora. I like it personally.

Nice thing if you use k8s settings up persistent net storage with something like longhorn is an option too.

We’re social creatures. We need things to talk about so we seek out info on shared interests. “The news” has the added benefit of feeding into a self belief about being civic minded person.

I think it’s ok to have an area of study be a hobby, but if you want to be an activist find something you can actually engage in. If you can’t create real value on the thing. Swing a hammer, shovel, paint, move goods, create program, or one degree away helping coordinate people actually doing that, don’t worry about it. It’s a time suck, and we all have better things to actually do.

The news is full of time sucks like that. Just worrying things you have no responsibility or possible action to deal with. It’s worth occasionally glances to see if there is an interesting hobby you want to pick up or if there a cause you want to engage in, but if your good there I wouldn’t bother.

Incumbent wants everyone to talk about how great things are.

I think more progress around stuff like confidential compute, zero knowledge proofs, or homeographic encryption may provide a better avenue where we can see ways for software manipulation to be caught but without giving total ownership over to some random game.

Harvester cluster my everything. I really want to play around with having my servers being stationary, a togo cluster (laptops, and UPS in a suit case), and PC all in the same cluster.

Right now they are all segmented rke2 clusters, but Harvester should make running vms way easier too.

Spatial compute seems cool still. VR raves are sick VR to let people with some disabilities experience more social scenes and some enhanced forms of remote work are very cool to me.

There was a metaanalysis paper that suggested that saturated fats alone were not highly correlated with heart disease.

Same paper recommend a high fiber diet over a high carb or high protein diet. Which tracks tbh
