Only wizards can configure iptables for ipv4 and ipv6 port forwarding. Only wizards.

Wait if cp is either, then I got it correct, right? Yay me

-R -r -R -r -r -r I think

I don’t know if this is true, but if yes, then -R is a GNU weirdness No wait that doesn’t make sense. ls is also GNU.

My last gen Homeserver was like this too. It worked okay, but network configuration, especially port forwarding and ipv6 sucked.

My current generation is just debian stable again, it just works.

There is some open source software that is associated with Facebook, like compression with Zstandard, a very common and useful compression format. Don’t care that it’s from them in that case.

You can make a new user on the server with password login, and just access it with SFTP. Most graphical file explorers can do SFTP.

You can still tell the people you trust. There are always more people unhappy with the conditions than they openly say.

And as I said, even if you’re the only unionist in a company, it still has benefits, like access to lawyers and payment while you’re on strike. A union is like an insurance, except less capitalist.

I agree

Adding to what I’ve said: yes, being a known unionist can make you a target. This is why it’s a highly sensitive piece of data, and at least at work, it can be a good idea to not speak of it too openly to people you’re not sure you can trust.

I don’t agree they are the only way. Political parties are very much possible, and governments can enforce inheritance and wealth taxes, for example.

But they are a very good way, of course (not mutually exclusive at all with politics too!).

A simple example: Imagine a small business, 20 people and a boss. Boss is an asshole, demands unpaid overtime, and bad conditions (like working without gloves on ice cold items). If even half of the people in boss inc unionize, suddenly, boss cannot exploit them without risking bankruptcy.

In the US specifically, it seems like you first need to take back your government from fascism/trumpism, which is why ordinary can be exploited this much. That’s not an easy task, but please keep in mind that most people are not fully committed ideological fascists.

Unions also give you an insurance. They have lawyer experts for work and social policy matters, for example.

Besides the whole chicken and egg thing.

Very well built. I like the interior too, that’s difficult even when you already have a nice building

“Security through obscurity” is not real security.

Just because it’s in a dictionary doesn’t mean it’s a normal word. Wantonly is a weird word. I keep reading want-only and an very confused.

Why are you generalizing a whole generation?

No it’s magpiers

I have a somewhat similar project. I don’t think “don’t use LLMs” is particularly helpful.

My project is a never ending story with spinoffs that I never want to show anyone, but enjoy reading. At first, I used an LLM to make it with prompts of increasing complexity and results that we’re usually soulless and imperfect.

The thing to understand is in my opinion, that you’re using an actual machine ghostwriter. The machine doesn’t share your thoughts and vision, which can be helpful but is often detrimental to quality.

A few months ago, while writing a particularly complex chapter, it completely stopped being “good enough”, so I made the decision to write the stuff myself. But the problem: I am an awful author because I didn’t actually learn so much since I didn’t write it myself.

Now, my current approach is to write it myself (with my progress being much slower but of much higher quality and with much better quality control).

The machine ghostwriter is useful when it comes to brainstorming, proof reading and suggestions for rewording, I think. It has things in it’s context that I simply don’t know and that I don’t even know I don’t know, and it comes up with okay ideas and sometimes good rephrasing.

Of course, just accepting ai suggestions would lower quality, but if you’re picky it could work well.

Let me know what you think, also anti ai absolutists let me know what you think. Contrary to how this might sound, I’m not particularly fond of LLMs, but it’s helpful to get some feedback and ideas.

This is an awful “meme”

Capitalism is different from a regular market in that it is not just trying to make a profit in order to have enough money to exchange for useful goods and services.

Capitalism demands that your profit grows and grows and grows. It’s growth for it’s own sake. A capitalistic economy like our world economy needs to grow 3% or so every year or it gets into a recession. 3% doesn’t sound like much, but it’s exponential growth, doubling every 25 years or so. This growth doesn’t come out of thin air, but from extracting from value from other people, our world and so on.

And measuring an economy by GDP is incomplete, because it doesn’t take uncompensated labor, human happiness and wellbeing, and public goods (like a healthy nature) into account. When a factory owner pollutes and dries up the river while employees have no choice but to work 16 hour weeks, GDP goes up.

In nature, things grow until they are mature. That does not mean progress halts. Adults don’t grow anymore, but continue to learn.

My try to explain why money and markets are okay, but growth for it’s own sake (growthism you may call it) is destroying our societies, making us unhappy, and is also killing us with the climate and biodiversity crises.

Not enough people seed or distribute music. The only good way I know is downloading from YouTube, but YouTube is working hard on blocking this too.
