If all robots do is google search and plagitise, its sort of hard to make real useful product out of it.

sooooo… vpn should point to Portugal…

almost certainly

You mean there is a chance 🤑 💰 /s

is this a UK isp?

Thank you thats useful to know!

But humans will still be able to live… Right?.. Right?..

Yes I need to do something about picking a location for them in the house. Loft sounds great, but it gets hot in summer. Downstairs would be nice and chilly but you don’t want to hear this… So much to think about

Not tried those drives in particular, but got 4 Seagate’s exos (can’t recall if they are 16 or 18tb ea), very happy with them. A bit loud but they are also 7200 spin. Can get them on a real good offer sometimes

So I have been in Xinjiang, specifically Urumqi in 2010, about a year after there were local tensions and riots (I didn’t know about the riots until after I returned home). It was summer and I saw police in full riot gear, in APCs in groups of 10-15 at a time patroling the city. Not roadblocks everywhere, but multiple such patrols. I still felt safe (as a westerner, its super safe).

So there were clear, heavy local tensions. Now you are right about the news we here are obviously one sided. You have to take some critical thoughts about what is likely happening. However inter province travel requires you to present passport when buying a ticket. It’s not really a sign of a free and fair society.

I don’t keep up with internal Chinese politics beyond vaguely being interested in HK, but seeing what happened there you can make a fair assumption that in the mainland things would be harder for folks who don’t fall in line.

Can you post where that is from please? I seem to stumble on desktops that cost 10x as much!

Yes I was looking as a client to replace the “smart” TV app that is increasingly becoming bloatware with something I can control. Just kinda need a “self hosted” client that can support 70mbps 10bit hdr streams or there about.

Ohhh I wonder if this can work as a 4k 10bit uhd Plex/jellyfin client?

I like Manjaro

• I like it
• Its user friendly if you don’t want to spend a month fiddling with it
• Feels comfy and relatively lightweight

• If you are living on the edge of latest and greatest versions, it can be a pain to wait for official repos to be updated. Though I only noticed this problem with Discord desktop app, however since I realised that it spies on every process that runs and you cannot turn that feature off. Uninstalled. Problem gone. Happy me.

Ai magic money tree will keep printing money out of nothing and we save on headcount!

Xfce… Because I donno, been using it for many years

If you know the name, I’d be curious 🥺

I mean given that you get arrested for a showing a blank piece of paper and sent to prison/gulag… Do you really think that de-annonymised people would put their opinions forward?

But also in the west where we don’t have quite such a police state, we still do have many people who vote against their interests until their own interests are being affected…

Moral of the story… Humans suck

Apologies for delay, mandatory cat tax!

My favourite part from this story covered on another site was

Howells says that if only the council had entertained his excavation requests, “Newport would look like Dubai.” Currently, it still looks like Newport.
