The fact that it’s an option that even remotely works is my point. They sell hardware. They don’t support software. The community does that. There is something to be gained from having a uniform platform for learning self hosting responsibly.

A Raspberry pi isn’t particularly great at any one thing. It’s greatest strength comes in bundling everything you need in a box at an affordable price. Once you know where your pain points are then you can build/design a system that overcomes those shortcomings.

Having a starter kit would be an easy way to get more people in the space. Would it cost $35 of course not. Level1Techs made their KVM to meet their own requirements and then the community benefits. To me, this project has that kind of energy. Or at least the potential for it.

Raspberry pi was able to do it with $35.

Carlson gave Putin a platform. I see a trend forming.

Not to be that guy, but how long until the assassination attempts?

Better options have already been mentioned. With that said another option might be torrenting.

I don’t entirely agree with you because what you are saying is basically stop here. Here sucks. Hard. The window shifted. We need to shift left a bit imo. That includes taxing rich more and spending it in house not abroad. Military doesn’t count. They don’t need the extra money. And yes, authoritarian tendencies are bad. They are just made worst by a strong loyal military. How long before they remove the clause about not following orders that are illegal?

Automation

That changes when GabeN passes.

Here is some dark timeline thoughts. Companies are people, patents and copyright can only be given to humans, AI hallucinates, companies are responsible for the actions of AI.

Does this mean we will eventually have to compete with commercial AI personas that also have a verifiable work history complete with an itemized list of financial liability incidents. HR now has to decide if they want a human employee or an AI employee.

“The coolest dictator of the world globally”

He’s right you know. He’s just not saying it’s the Republicans who are benefitting.

Supreme Court nominations, Republicans benefit. Voter suppression/intimidation, Republicans benefit.
Recounting elections (Gore vs Bush), Republicans benefit.
Tossing votes before they get counted, Republicans benefit.

Articles like this just prove that this country isn’t really paying attention anymore. Everybody has mentally checked out. And I don’t blame them, this is exhausting. But it’s all to the Republicans benefit.
