I was imagining a “I just wiped my hard drive and flashed the current version of Debian. Let’s get basic services up.”

I wish there was a “hey watch me code/self host” channel that helped noobs see how to approach the problem of starting. Usually their is a “hey watch me code” YouTube that is old enough to have a critical breaking point (some library updated) so a noob finds it impossible.

If you are successful in this, perhaps a twitch channel walking through the basics running on a regular ish basis

The Linux purist is to provide the source code and you download then compile the small files.

Developers and gamers don’t have storage issues so the higher storage size of flapak and the lack of dependency issues (a copy of every library used) make flatpak user friendly enough for normies aka gamers with steamdecks

Economics say that technological advances hurt those displaced for a short period of time but the entire rest of the economy improves and the displaced people are smart enough to find other jobs in the new economy with higher standard of living…

Unless the value created never makes it back to the economy…

Disambiguation:A cubic yard of sustainable concrete or a yard full of trees?

Is that [email protected] or something different?

Cost of electricity is non zero. Distributed computing between pis might be the most cost effective way (hardware and electricity)

Well, if your day is toast, burn it to make tomorrow awesome. Remember luck favors the prepared. So make a list of parts of your house to maintain or clean or stock up so that future plans have a few backups and already ready

As a martian, I get all the water I want from fog, but earth seems to like to drown in it. Water is a greenhouse gas people!

“Super power” was the soviet Union. Russia is just a regional power that happens to have nukes and inertia and covets the power of the soviet Union.

Something about your description sounds right and wrong. US companies may do that, but what about “one click purchases” via google and amazon? Surely they saved the CVC and ali/sketchy site don’t care as much about data breaches

Well, if you save your payment info on any site (especially sketchy ones) you can get a “you just bought with no returns” 3k$ worth of crappy Chinese phones delivered to your house that “you bought and got the goods, so it isn’t aliexpress’s fault no returns.”

After 2 or 3 millennia (1,000 years) I would probably have to work hard to retain empathy for ephemeral life (finite in any form e.g. 100 years for humans). Perspective: I cried over a spider when I was small, but now will apply raid or another poison if a spider is in my house. I now consider moles, voles, and house cats who are allowed to exterminate birds (outside cats) to be worthy of population reduction tactics.

I’m imagin8ng a self dissecting discussion where topics are sorted into a table of contents at the top (highlighting opposing but reasoned viewpoints), and quality discussions can follow the fractal comment threads. If you know of this an6where, I want to know.

You say this as a joke, but it will not be business as usual. Trust is HUGE when it comes to investments. Without admin, trust goes down, investors become misers, total wealth decreases, and everyone will have the same credibility as a scammer on the phone talking about Nigerian princes etc. So it may not go to a barter economy, but several parts will stagnate because they can’t trust investing in their own company’s growth.

Admin paper pushers coordinate so others can have frictionless meetings. Most likely all meetings will be awful, and initiatives will not have approvals so fraud will propagate quickly

I just saw a link to this

Perhaps your l8nux can cast as well?

I bought the rii remote/controller/keyboard/mouse, a raspberry pi 4 8gb, a 4k micro HDMI, a rpi4 power cord, a 64gb micro SD card, rpi4 case with fan. I then attached it to my TV with some zip ties and a L brace

• I installed rasbian 64bit.
• I installed steam link (have to go to tty command line to have it work though because bullseye doesn’t have previous buster driver support yet
• I installed kodi > Plex addon
• I installed kodi > YouTube addon
• I installed kodi > jellyfin add-on with repository
• I didn’t trust the sketchy “add my repository to download and install”. Disney plus on kodi, so I made a shortcut to the browser with that site
• I made a shortcut to Netflix browser.

It isn’t the same as " any phone controls sound and playback" like a chromcast, but it is private and it is better than Chromecast (higher resolution and framerate, and streams/remotelycontrols local beefy gaming computers) in some ways.

Do you know of a RPI app with a fdroid counterpart that allows clicks from a LAN smartphone?

Ehh, so a counterargument is we now have “control audits” aka soc1 type2 audits that test whether management fix their stuff without external eyes. That hasGREATLY increased the fidelity of all public companies. Yeah mistakes happen, but the controls get pretty robust after only a few years.

From a story from family: he failed the driving test. He went to go again and passed and in the waiting area there were people talking about a professional athelete that was indirectly “going to pass no matter what” so this relaxed standard applied for that entire day.
