Spinning down and up actually kills drives more than constant non-stop work, I have a setup close to yours, it just seeds torrents (linux isos ofc.) 24/7.

Your decision, we have import tax as well starting from 150 euros or something, I’ve just always written 100 or less. With used hw you often don’t get warranty beyound week or 10 days anyway.

Building on a nonserver hw is a good idea. You could look things up at aliexpress, they almost always have free shipping. Alternatively you can buy stuff in US/EU for cheap and use some service for parcel delivery from there (meest/shipito etc.), often they deliver super cheap (like us$10-20 for something that would be two timesmore expensive locally)

How is it better then discord?

That’s not because it’s scary or people can’t understand how to use it, it’s just bothersome.

According to tech people. 🙃

It already is (and was long before any ads)

You probably can find some people on old school windows forums, also different warez/piracy forums. You can also try to show off on hackernews/lobsters, sometimes people there just love small projects like yours.

Meh, what’s the point? We have run0 installed by default now, everywhere. Sudo itself could be installed for compatibility, another super-secure-fast whatever makes no sense.

tldr: deepin continuously ignored and/or didn’t invest time into fixing numerous security issues, and created a shortcut that just asked users if they are ok with installing insecure dbus configuration files and polikit policies that weren’t whitelisted by suse.

Because they want to. You can get your proofs yourself.

These probably require more maintenance and not less, glass needs to be regularly cleaned and water changed and fertilized, what will happen when company stops supporting this proprietary algae aquariums?

That’s not ‘bias’, that’s intended behaviour, iirc meta published some research on it. Returning to my initial point, viewing chat bots as ‘white male who lacks self-awareness’ is dumb as fuck.

As for not understanding, they are paid to not understand.

They will impersonate ‘helpful assistant made by companyname (following hundreds of lines of invisible rules and what to say and when)’. Experts that don’t have an incentive to understand and at least partially in the cult who would have guessed!

Chat bot will impersonate whoever you’ll tell them to impersonate (as stated in the article), my point is pretty simple, people don’t need a guide when using a chat bot that tells them how they should treat and interact with it.

I get it, that was just perfunctory self depreciation with intended audience being other first worlders.

Right, only you can dictate how people should treat chat bots, I will siphon your knowledge into my brain.

Everyone should treat ‘ai’ like a program that it is. Your guilt compex is irrelevant here.

Ffs you do not get disappeared for using vpns especially personal ones. You can install vpns that circumvent firewalls as long as they are blessed by ccp and they are sold using wechat. For non compliant ones it’s the same. It’s you who misunderstands how authoritarian systems work, noone tries to nail you for doing something semi-illegal, you will be dissapeared for non-conforming not for exploiting system.

VPN’s aren’t illegal in china, and they don’t go about random people who use them. Unless you are very vocal and high profile person no one will black bag you in a country of billion people, lol.
