When we set the upper limit of PC-DOS at 640K, we thought nobody would ever need that much memory. — William Gates, chairman of Microsoft

For me it’s about ownership and control. The things I really need (mail server, webserver for my own purposes) can really run on a raspberry pi. Done that for years.

Today it’s proxmox on a lenovo thinkcenter M710. One VM internet facing, one VM internal only (like home automation, nagios4 core, syslog to psql + grafana) way cheaper than a vps in the cloud.

I was like “WHAT ??” but it makes sense. They use your input to train it so over time it would make the AI abusive too.

AI line of fridges

excuse me ?? smart fridge ?? AI ?? I don’t want to talk calories or nutrients, I just want a cold beer and fresh milk & vegetables. There will be a cold day in hell before I buy an AI capable fridge. I’ll go to a root cellar long before that! (i live in the woods, so yes, I CAN do that easilly)

Hey, if KDE does it for you, just use it. I switch between xfce4 and i3 depending on what i’m doing. When coding or managing network devices, I3 it my way to go. Browsing, email, documenting : xfce4.

It’s exactly like food…some like a burger, some love pizza, another eat caviar to be snobby.

oh no! the apocalypse has started !! /s

I might give them the benefit of the doubt and try them again ('t has been years since)

orders employees to have fun again

Yeah, sure … Having fun works that way /s

One device on the lan … would not call that cloud.

If you are happy with cloud services, please, go ahead. But not for me … True. I’m having close to zero trust however safe they say it is. My choice is to have my data on my hardware that i own and control and can access 24/7.

Ps: You can’t hack me, i carry around my stack of post-it’s on my skin and they have medic style hand written passwords /s

Pretty sure I don’t. I don’t have bitwarden.

Just keepass. On two pc’s and backup to my nas.

I know. Keepass is a stand alone app. It does not need hosting.

Sure, i’ll put my password db somewere I have zero control over, just for convenience

Now look what you made me do (read buy)

I remember one of the most religious guys in town bringing in his two week old vcr on a monday. Angrily shouting he wanted to watch a video yesterday after church when the tape got stuck after one minute.

We fixed the vcr and where curiouse… As suspected : porn!

watching porn on a phone? disgusting !

I mean … why use a 6" phone display while my PC has two 26" monitors

I hope not. If they ask it to summarize the email that Houston sends them, it could will be a disaster.

FTFY

But hey! We are in on the AI bubble !! /s
