There are plenty of step-by-step guides to run Deepseek locally. Hell, someone even had it running on a Raspberry Pi. It seems to be much more efficient than other current alternatives.

That’s about as openly available to self host as you can get without a 1-button installer.

Arizona has a ballot initiative this year to force open primaries if the party wants any state election funding assistance.

Of course all the parties are against it. Bipartisan disapproval for a citizen ballot initiative usually means it’s in the citizen’s interest.

Nothing in the original post mentions the world. It very clearly says by State and is a map of the United States.

I’m sure he was at one point, then as he began losing money on terrible ideas, because he’s an idiot, he started lashing out into any random crap he could to try and stabilize it. Taking out dozens of foreign loans with inflated numbers, and constantly ending up underwater in those, needing more to further the process, like a debt-based ponzi scheme where no one actually makes any money in the end, not even the banks.

He managed to bankrupt a casino. They basically print money, yet he managed to run one right out of business.

Because he’s not actually a billionaire.

Lists of rich people like Forbes primarily use number approved by the individuals through various means. We know for a fact thanks to the recent fraud case in NY that the Trump Org regularly inflated nearly every number about their business, especially real estate. They regularly inflated the value of property for things like loans and underestimated the value for taxes.

Trump is well known for requesting people not question his finances in collaborative events like his Comedy Central roast where he can control it.

People with actual money doesn’t care about that. And that’s just the tip of the monetary iceberg. We’ve learned a lot since Trump decided to run for President the first time. It was probably the worst thing he could have done to keep his grifts running smoothly.

No idea, at the time I was just looking for something that didn’t have a subscription and Snipe was what I found that supported all the fields and uploads I wanted. I’ll have to take a look at Paperless.

PiHole, Jellyseerr, Radarr, Sonarr, Emby, Syncthing, Homepage, Home Assistant, and Snipe-IT.

PiHole is self explanatory.

Jellyseerr, Radarr, Sonarr, Syncthing and Emby are used for media management and streaming, alongside a remote seedbox.

Homepage is a locally hosted browser landing page with widgets for network monitoring.

Home Assistant for locally hosted home automation controls.

Snipe-IT for asset management. Way overkill for a home user, but it’s free to self-host. Make sure all my assets are listed, can upload receipts, photos warranty info, manufacturer info, etc. so it’s a single place to find all of that information if I ever need it.

No idea, is Google Maps listed as being safe for kids? It even has a default built-in search option to find nearby bars.

Either way, they removed the app from the entire Play Store, not just from kids accounts, or family sharing. Google specifically has as a separate account type for kids, ostensibly for the exact scenario they seem to be claiming is the reason for the removal here.

That would mean EVERY map app would be in violation since those places exist and are indexed by all of them. Including Google Maps.

This is what I did after running consumer Linksys and ASUS routers, including with OpenWRT.

I moved to a Unifi setup and haven’t had any issues. I can manage it remotely if I need to, like another household member needs something changed or fixed. I’ve never had to restart it to fix an issue, it just works.

Easy upgrades without having to replace the entire setup and move settings over manually. Especially easy wireless upgrades, almost just plug and play replacing the old access point antenna.

And if you need just a small setup and you run a home server you can run the management software on there instead of something like their dedicated Cloud Key device.

Exactly, and let’s give them the benefit of the doubt since we don’t know. The librarian or assistant helping OP probably just doesn’t know much about the IT stuff other than how to help people get on the wifi. And it is entirely possible that they’re NEVER seen anyone even try the port before, that’s not common at all. Actually managing the IT infrastructure at that level is almost surely NOT part of their job.

WiFi has been included in essentially everything for over a decade. I mean even ignoring laptops having Wifi way before mobile devices, even going back to the origin of smartphones for the masses, the original iPhone had Wifi back in 2007, that’s 17 years ago.

Even ignoring that, if internet via a wired ethernet connection isn’t an option they provide for whatever reason… their network infrastructure shouldn’t allow the connection anyway. It should be blocked as an unknown device on the network end, regardless if someone plugs into the network.

I think the difference is the intent of who will use the program.

Is the intended user the developer themselves and that’s about it but they’re making it available for others? Then just having the code is fine. It should still be properly documented however. Devs forgot their own shit code all the time, the documentation is there for them as well when they forget or come back to a project years later.

However if the program is intended for use by people outside the developers, then a regularly updated compiled binary should be expected. They are likely already going to be compiling it for themselves, making that process produce an updated binary release in GitHub isn’t too much to ask for something intended for others to use that the dev is already likely making anyway.

Over 25% of the company’s revenue went to his pay. That’s insane. And they’re trying to go public with those financials.

Same here. When my Internet is out, my household needs to still be able to watch shows from my NAS locally without having to jump through hoops. Plex wouldn’t let me just do that anymore.

Moving to Emby has had its own small issues, but with the internet out the family can still just load the TV app and watch a show like normal. They don’t need to know how to do any troubleshooting, alternate login options, etc.
