Are you people?

I also never saw a calculation that took into amount my VPS costs. The fckers scrape half the internet, warming up every server in the world connected to the internet. How much energy is that?

Actually that usually is how it works. Unfortunately.

*Too big to fail" was probably made up by the big ones.

First, apologies for the late reply, I forget to check notifications here. On a tangent, it’s a lovely UI since it’s not pestering me to do this or that, but I do miss an occassional reply or two.

Now, to recap: I have asked you in my post, what software do you have right now? You said the family doesn’t want to sort the library twice - how do they sort this now? You said you host your photo collections on home servers, something something proxmox - the question is how do you get the photos there now? Because you might already have a solution.

If yes, tell us what your process looks like at the moment, and someone might have an advice. If no, if you have nothing right now, that’s okay too.

“abusive spouse” funny way to spell "government and “techbros”

Also, there was a comment on “arbitrary scoring for demo purposes”, but it’s still biased, based on biased dataset.

I guess this is just a bait prompt anyway. If you asked most politicians running your government, they’d probably also fail. I guess only people like a national statistics office might come close, and I’m sure if they’re any good, they’d say that the algo is based on “limited, and possibly not representative data” or something.

That really depends on the software you use. Some software might have a way to do it, but it may be indirect.

E.g. digikam is a photo library management software. It can move albums between “libraries”, and is designed that some of those libraries can be offline occasionally (more in the sense of SD cards, but also e.g. USB storage). So how you could do it is you map one, mountable, library to one disk, another to your “network storage” (however you attach your home server). That includes the metadata (depending on where and how you store it). And the digikam database itself is just a file as well (sqlite database), so you can also back that up at the same time. I’m not sure how to automate this process. Even a manual “cheat” - moving the files to network drive, then symlinking it back, per month or something, might work. It’s a bit of a manual process, but digikam is designed to be storage-based. And a lot of other software is, as well.

But again, I don’t know if you’re using digiikam or something else, and how you set it up. So, what software do you have? How do your users sync their photos and albums? That might help planning.

Pedometers, you mean?

Well, true, but tyres wouldn’t make it a double distance, it’s not that simple. The case isn’t clear, if course, but the claim says that the odometer tried to reduce the range after it got out of the warranty period.

Not saying anything about the merit of the case, just the the claim itself sounds interesting and that if true, you can’t wave it away with “you changed tyres”.

Fucking hell, that site a million partners who all have “legitimate interest”. I’ve clicked on like a third of them and then gave up. I don’t need their shit.

They have been making their own x86 knock-offs for a while now, but not at the same scale as the “regular” - i.e. they’d been doing it at 14nm or so, so less efficient.

I don’t know if they have better fab process since then, and for how big a scale.

You could just block most of the internet services - gmail, youtube, facebook etc under these rules, and then wreak havoc. I bet they’d roll back these laws in record time if someone pushed them to the limits :/

I think not many people are aware of that. No matter how well you build the systems with this type of AI, they don’t yet know. Now, maybe they’re useful, maybe not, but this awareness that everything is actually just made up, by statistics and such, is lacking from peoples minds.
