Goddamn, seeing it all together like this doesn’t paint Mostaque in a flattering light at all. I’m glad that we got open Stable Diffusion models out of his venture but it sounds like it was nothing more than a lucky fluke of mismanagement.

My sides
Please
I use https://github.com/azukaar/Cosmos-Server on Ubuntu and really like it, seems to take care of reverse proxies and stuff for any new services you add. I’m running on the lowest-spec Hetzner auction I could find, but even so it’s a pretty beastly server with an i7 6700 or something, and 128GB of RAM. I’ve got nextcloud and a bunch of other services running and I rarely go above 10% resource utilisation.
Well, having the office was nice because I like my colleagues. I’m lucky in that regard though, and as nice as it was to socialise at work, working from home is nicer. Not to mention much much cheaper by every metric. In conclusion fuck ever going back to the office, thank you for coming to my TEDx Talk.
Because the truth fucks, homie.
Oh boy, you think this is the worst thing America has done, even this week? Now I don’t know if I should tell you about the rest…
Do they not know? Or don’t care?
Some people one, some people the other, some people both.
Ahh, “but what about”. Not “That’s not true, here’s proof”. Interesting approach, even if ineffective.
They’ve still been offshoring all data to China in contravention of direct orders to stop. Your right to be a moron doesn’t extend to compromising national security, not sorry.
No, the concern is not what people will see on TikTok but what data TikTok is offshoring from their devices to servers in China. It’s a massive surveillance operation.
Now, why would you be trying to dress this up as a free speech issue, I wonder?
Better, buy a lottery ticket with it. That way it might be worth as much as the ash you’d have anyway, but there’s a chance you’ll become a millionaire.
Or Bitcoin, but fair warning: you might find yourself tempted to start a rap career, and that’s almost never advisable.

even more niche games like Fable 2
Ouch 😂 I remember playing the shit outta Fable 2; it’s a great game and holds up pretty well even today, easily one of my favourites. I always thought that Peter Molyneux got treated too harshly for overpromising, and I stand by that to this day. Dude made good games, just not as good as he said they were gonna be.
Aww. Poor SpaceX. To quote the man himself:
Go fuck yourself.
Genuine question (because I’m looking too): without YouTube, where would you go to watch all the diverse videos they host? It’s a really difficult business model. Look at how expensive Floatplane is to the user. Luke and Linus have talked about how difficult it is to run on WAN Show, too: https://youtube.com/watch?v=1mZrsunukUA
A fediverse platform would almost definitely be a worse experience in terms of speed and video quality because residential internet (at least in the majority of the US) just doesn’t have the upload to support multiple HD video streams. Therefore, it’s not really possible to host at home; a basic server at Hetzner could probably do a dozen or two direct streams with no conversion, but storage is kind of expensive just because there’s so much content, and then there’s the need for moderation, high uptime, security, “good” UX design…
Then of course on top of all that when you don’t have creators getting paid by ad revenue, fewer will be able to spend the time on production quality because they’ll be doing it after work, so the length and/or quality suffers.
I dunno dude, I really hope someone smarter than me has figured this out, but it’s a tough problem.
Exactly why I’ve been considering doing it this way for my new setup! I had to leave my last one on the other side of the planet and have felt positively cramped with just a couple TB worth of internal drives, can’t wait to properly spread out again.
