This is cursed but I like it.
I’ve never really followed X (nor Twitter), Bluesky, Instagram, TikTok, etc. so I basically live under a rock. Sometimes I ask dumb questions to try to understand people a little better. Apologies if my questions inadvertently offend anyone. I mean no harm.

In some languages, all nouns are gendered, and it’s impossible to refer to a noun without a gender. There is no “it”, only (s)he.
If you ever learn a language like that, you will make mistakes. If someone hears your mistake, hopefully they’ll be more forgiving about it than you are.
I’ve been pretty happy with Peergos

That raises more questions than it answers 😅 I appreciate the effort though.
I run NixOS on a few servers. I remember there being some controversy around them accepting contributions (either money or code — my memory of it is a little fuzzy) from some company that’s part of the military industrial complex. Is Framework worse than that?

Is it ethically unsafe to use? Do they make money when people use it? Sorry if these seem like dumb questions, I’m surely missing a lot of context

What difference would that make? (I’m not familiar with the precedent, so probably missing some context)
Edit: Downvotes? Was my question (or my ignorance) somehow offensive?
Sure! It’s completely solid-state; no fans or other moving parts. The case is designed to dissipate the heat. The CPU is some low-power Intel Pentium. I don’t remember exactly which model.
I ordered a pre-built one from Protectli because I needed it fast, but you can save quite a bit if you prefer to build one. These little motherboards and cases can be found pretty easily online.
I went with a dedicated mini PC with one of those motherboards that are designed for building a network appliance. It has been running very smoothly for a few years, and I just log in occasionally to run system updates.
I want my network and Internet connection to continue working, regardless of my tinkering with home server stuff.

Lol what? I’m so out of the loop

Oops, that’s what I get for being on my phone hours after I should have gone to sleep. I’m an idiot at those hours lol

Indeed. I assumed that was obvious when I wrote it, but thanks for confirming.

Only nine now? That’s so much better than it used to be!
When I first tried Linux (Mandrake, many years ago), I could probably come up with 9 problems in just the first hour 😆
It’s easy to find nine problems in Windows too, so this is pretty good for a free OS, IMO. It’s great to see Linux gradually become more mainstream (aside from Android and servers)
Edit: I’m a dumbass lol

Can it access a file without spinning up all disks in the array?
I haven’t used ZFS in like a decade, but would strongly consider going back to it if it can do that now.

I’ve been happily using SilverBullet lately too. Can recommend
- percent@infosec.pubtoSelfhosted@lemmy.world•Is there a self-hosted project that does url decoding in a privacy respecting fashion?English9 months
Fun fact: Base64url is not quite the same as base64. Its alphabet is slightly different from base64 so its characters can be used in more places (URLs, filenames, etc.).
I suppose the tool’s name is more clear for those who are aware of those differences, but very unclear for others.

I don’t disagree with your main point, but I’m not sure it’s really even “stealing”, as that means to take without permission. In this case, the storage permissions were configured so that the files were publicly available to everyone, so everyone had permission to access them.
Semantics though. It’s still unethical to access that data, even if it’s not technically stealing.

I’m no lawyer, but this seems like at least grounds for a class action lawsuit, I would think. Like, it seems like privacy and security is implied (however ironic for an app like this) when requiring users to upload their PII.
Also, I assume their privacy policy didn’t mention that they were just gonna publish their users’ PII.
Congrats! Enjoy your null 🙂
As a pro who is forced to use AI, I did this a lot when I was learning how to use it.
Yep. Subagents are a very normal part of AI tools
