But I’m not seeing them hurt! Neither are you! You’re seeing news reports and things that are spun to make you feel bad. You aren’t over there right now witnessing it with your very eyes.

I bet you’ve never even witnessed real combat death or even so much as a violent car collision.

So again - stop, fucking, putting, words, into, my, mouth.

I find no enjoyment in hurting other people - which is why it doesn’t bother me; Because I’m not doing it!

Is not the same as

I don’t enjoy hurting people but also don’t care when I see them hurt

It’s simply not. You’re adding the seeing part to the equation. Learn to read. Learn to understand.

I don’t fucking watch TV. I don’t ingest tiktok, or facebook, or fox, or cnn, or msnbc, or instagram, or much social media at all. I don’t see it. I don’t care about it. It doesn’t show in my feeds. It doesn’t affect my life.

And you know what? The same goes for you. There’s a million atrocities going on in the world right now; you’re ignorant to 99.9999% of them. And you don’t want to know about them. Because you’d be so overloaded your head would spin.

The difference between me and you, is that I know that I don’t know about them, and I prefer it that way. I don’t need to fight for every single cause that passes in front of me.

“I dont enjoy hurting people but also dont care when I see them hurt.”

Again – Not what I said. Re-read it. Stop putting words in my mouth.

You clearly suffer from pathological altruism.

You also are suffering from the dunning-kruger effect when it comes to the belief on how much effect you have on things by shouting words on the internet.

Most humans cannot enjoy food if they were watching someone starving to death in front of them, let alone knowing that person is dying and they could feed them to save their lives.

Yeah, same for me. But that’s NOT what’s happening, and you’ve let your hyper-altruism cloud your judgement. Nothing I do changes anything that happens over there. So why worry about it? Why upend MY life, and put MY life in danger for it? Normal people don’t do that. You’re a bleeding heart - most people don’t care. That’s just normal humanity.

And again - with the rape argument…what in living fuck? You think I consider myself responsible for what my government does? HELL fuck no I don’t. You have absolutely no effect on their decisions, so why do you think you do? You’ve used Hyperbole to make your argument seem stronger than it is.

It’s simple. Americans have a good life. There’s no reason for them to leave their good life, to go fight for a people who have nothing to do with them.

Again - bleeding heart. You’re so concerned about shit that has nothing to do with your day-to-day life. Shit is far too stressful for me to deal with, I’m busy enough trying to keep my head above water for some middle class gated community bleeding heart to tell me I should feel bad for something I – Have no part of, Have no effect on, cannot change, and that doesn’t affect my life whatsoever.

I find no enjoyment in hurting other people - which is why it doesn’t bother me; Because I’m not doing it! Humanity are a bunch of violent apes, and there is not enough time in anybodies singular life to concern themselves with every fucking atrocity being committed. I’ll be more concerned with helping the homeless in my own country, than shit going on half way across the world because a country allowed a terrorist organization to run rampant.

Maybe Hamas shouldn’t have attacked Israel? – why aren’t you talking about THOSE lives lost? Why aren’t you concerned with the lives THEY have taken? Probably because you’ve been taken by Iran’s online psyop.

Imagine giving your life up for something that doesn’t affect you. I get the whole being altruistic part, but with these people it goes too far.

You don’t see multi-generational Americans going over there and protesting for this stuff, because they are detached from it. Race doesn’t have anything to do with it.

yeah a true pure-blooded American shouldn’t give a fuck if a genocide was on half way across the world even if their hard-earned tax was directly paying for the salaries and equipments used in those war crimes, and their country weapons were dropping on refugee tents burning hundrends to death in the most horrific ways.

Yeah. Basically. The US Military is the our largest employer. Arming other nations has benefits for us - We still get to fund our military, we still get to produce weapons, and we aren’t risking our own soldiers lives in conflict. Is it inhumane? That’s arguable. On a personal/individual level, yes - on a larger scale, it’s pretty par for the course. I’d argue that the liberties that Muslim countries strip from women, lgbt, etc is a large enough negative that replacing it with a more tolerant one is a net positive.

Killing of Turkish woman. She clearly cared more about things going on half way across the world. She wasn’t in the West Bank for the sake of American lives, that’s for sure. Having a citizenship to China doesn’t make me Chinese.

Turkish born woman goes to west bank, where a war is currently going on. Gets killed. But sure, let’s blame Biden. We can even throw some terms around like “US Citizen” and “American” to make it sound like they were actually loyal to this nation.

1. • Learning. If you ever found yourself tired of learning new things, your life is basically done.
   • Cost. You already have an internet connection at home. It’s practically a necessity these days. The connection is likely fast enough for most things. Renting even the most piddly of VPS is wildly expensive. Just throw a spare machine at it and go wild.
   • Freedom. Your own data is constantly being collected, regurgitated, and sold back to you. More people need to care about this incessant invasion of our lives.
2. • Backups. 3 copies, on different forms of storage, in multiple PHYSICALLY distinct locations. Just when you have that teeny little imp in the back of your mind say “hmm, I should probably back up soon” – stop everything you’re doing and run a backup.
   • Test your recovery! Backups are only good if you can recover from them. Many have lost data because they failed to ever fail-test their backups.
3. • Google. Legitimately the best skill you can ever attain is simply being able to search effectively and be able to learn jargon quickly. Once you have the lingo down, searches become clearer, quicker, more precise.

Is the router flashable with OpenWRT? :D

jkjk – most modern routers can be turned into just flat access points, ganged with another router.

The router is going to give you more control.

A typical refrigerator is like 40dbA – 25dbA is ABSURDLY quiet. You’re not gonna hit that without a completely fanless system. If 25dbA is his hard cap, he can’t even be breathing in the same area as the computer, because that’s something like 28dbA…

I mean we just had https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2024-6387 – so my guess is that you’re updating quite often to be so confident in your unattended upgrades.

Those were statements. Statements of fact.

Once the models are already trained, it takes almost no power to use them.

Yes, TRAINING the models uses an immense amount of power - but utilizing the training datasets locally consumes almost nothing. I can run the llama 7b set on a 15w Raspberry Pi for example. Just leaving my PC on uses 400w. This is all local – Nothing entering or leaving the Pi. No communication to an external server, nothing being done on anybody else’s server or any AWS instances, etc.

imho - never expose that shit anyways, and VPN into your local network first. Only thing I ever expose to the internet is 80/443.

At the very least, if you’re going to expose an SSH session to the internet, set up some sort of port-knocking. It’s security by obscurity, sure - but it will keep all but the most ardent intruders out.

Once the model is trained, the electricity that it uses is trivial. LLMs can run on a local GPU. So you’re completely wrong.

I mean, if you just wanted to let everyone know that you’re prejudiced, you could have just come out and said it directly.

Fellow – sharing a particular activity, quality, or condition with someone or something.

So yeah - that part was covered. Also “man” in this context is short for Human, not man as in male.

Reading comprehension for the win!

That’s because France and Germany have the largest Muslim populations in Europe. Turns out, they don’t like their fellow man being murdered indiscriminately.

Absolutely. But I think it might be more advanced than that. They might have some sort of analytics that measures how long people stay on the page, etc to inform their purchasing decisions.

DDNS with Namecheap is as simple as hitting a URL with a /GET request from the IP you want it to point to. No limitations. No special requirements.

Just because you don’t have a website up at [XYZ].com doesn’t mean you’re not using it. You could have a domain controller on the back end doing file services, or you could be using it for network auth, etc. Not all .coms exist for the purpose of putting up a website.

Sorry, but chalk this up to lesson learned. It’s almost always been this way. Domain squatters will do this all the time. In fact, some domain registrars will use you searching their site for an ‘available’ domain, and if you don’t buy it up right away – will buy it and hike the price and sit on it for years in order to lock it down, knowing you wanted it.

btw, Namecheap says Sunglocto dot com is like $10 - so just register a .com. Not through that Epik piece of shit that you used before. Legit, use Namecheap; they’ve never done me wrong and have been my registrar for more than a decade now.
