Wieviele Beratungsfirmen braucht man um herauszufinden, dass die Abhänigkeiten katastrophal sind?

That’s why I burn new ones every 6 months. There’s always some nee stuff to add anyways and it’s easier to just replace the whole backup then.

I actually still burn 5-8 BluRay disks about twice a year with my most important data (Photos, memories etc.) which I store at my parents house as true immutable offsite backups. Furthermore I mirror my TrueNAS Backup Server every night at my brother’s place through a VPN connection .

One big advantage is that you don’t need to run unbound in addition to free yourself from (commercial/non-profit) upstream dns providers completely.

Let’s ban education then.

It’s open source and there are no closed / hidden algorithms at all. So all fediverse services would be exempt anyways.

Plot twist 2: Der Euro verliert bis 2030 90% an Wert.

We should also ban it for people over 65ish. My mom is going down a terrible rabbit hole and gets fooled by AI propaganda constantly.

I would ban it outright (at least the ones that are run by non-EU corporations and don’t have open algorithms), but that probably won’t make the cut.

According to Swiss media the EU spent the past 11 months regulating veggie burgers and oat milk

So my number 1 would be better PR/communication. The EU does a lot of good but somehow only the bad stuff gets talked about.

Afaik the budget friendliest local AI solutions currently are Mac Minis! Due to the CPU/GPU/RAM unified structure they are powerhouses for AI and astonishingly well priced for what they can put out.

I lived above a Starbucks for a while, that was the best VPN I ever had!

Und dann gehst du bei Serways für teures Geld pinkeln, nimmst von 8 freien Urinalen wie jeder normaldenkende Mensch das dritte um eine gute Abstandsverteilung für nachfolgende Pinkler zu ermöglichen. Natürlich kommt keine drei Sekunden später ein Psychopath ins Stille Örtchen und wählt Urinal Nummer 2 direkt neben dir und sagt erstmahl Mahlzeit um deinen Strahl im Keim zu ersticken und deine 70 cent sind für die Katz. 60 km später, gefangen im Stau beim Pforzheimer Loch pinkelst du dir dann fast in die Hose.

The search industry continues to undergo big changes.

• Which are mostly terrible for user experience and made me switch search engines more than once within the past year. The AI features the big ones introduced are terrible and annoying - especially when they show straight up nonsense in the ‘summaries’

Hey Americans please educate yourself about “Gleichschaltung der Presse” - it happened in 1930s Germany, too.

This is fascism in action.

EDIT: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gleichschaltung wikipedia entry on the topic

I remember when whitehouse.com was a porn site - it had more class than this!

This is the most embarrassing display of a government I have ever seen. I cannot even comprehend this anymore.

If you can, please try to find a way to donate without supporting cooperations like paypal who are complicit in creating this mess.

A regular ACH transfer for example will be much cheaper for everyone involved and paypal won‘t get a cut.

This is something the EU should really regulate, unfortunately they are busy regulating oat milk drink and veggieburgers.

Any Software that I previously used that switched to a subscription model has been replaced by FOSS on my end, even if it’s not fully up to par yet I am usually much happier with the alternatives.
