Huh, guess I missed that dog whistle. I thought it was just the opposite of a “nationalist”, people who want to create a new world order and all that.

I guess I’m not surprised they think it’s the Jewish people doing that, but didn’t think it was exclusive to them.

Cheap? More like insanely profitable. It’s like any good business venture: you use your successes to expand.

Don’t the conservative bobbleheads talk about evil globalist conspiracies? Like, I found it right here for you guys! It was right in front of you the whole time!

I can’t find the crypto stuff, but you can see the promo images they scrubbed off the site on Wayback that look pretty AI generated: https://web.archive.org/web/20241217184111/https://www.playcatly.com/p7/detail

For cheap plastic “thingies” if you know a friend with a 3D printer they can be of massive help. Even if you don’t have such a friend, there are domestic businesses that will print and ship things for you. Granted they aren’t always as cheap, but easily better for the environment due to being more local.

Quitting Amazon to use AliExpress or Temu is like quitting drinking alcohol by switching to heroin instead.

Environmental issues aside, cheap disposable shit that you have to replace constantly actually costs you way more in the long run.

This is always the problem: Monopolies are popular with consumers because their centralization makes everything easy. The trappings of convenience.

Buy stuff directly from stores. Every time I’ve looked, the price elsewhere often exactly matches what Amazon charges because their pricing algorithms are constantly price matching anyhow.

This is the biggest load of shit. When I saw that game on the Game Awards, I went to their site and found the usual NFT crap talking about the $CATY token, air drops, financial investment risk disclosures, etc. It looks like it was scrubbed since, but likely because the game was getting so much attention after the awards.

Well from personal experience with a small website the biggest things you have to deal with are web crawlers trying to vacuum up every last ounce of data they can find and web crawlers trying to find obvious backdoors like trying default WordPress logins (even if you’re not running WordPress). Make sure your software is properly configured and up to date and you’re safe. Some isolation is still a good idea but don’t lose sleep on which one because they’re all still overkill in this case.

On the other hand if you’re running a service that would be actively targeted by a large government enforcement agency or some other very wealthy and highly motivated entity, then complete physical isolation would be the only acceptable answer but with even more protocols to prevent contamination or identification as there have been attacks demonstrated that could infiltrate even air-gapped environments and that’s assuming you could hide it well enough for them not to just come physically compromise it (without you even knowing).

Keep in mind if you want to use any of these technologies because you want to learn them or just think they’re neat, then please do! I suspect a lot of people with these types of home setups are doing it mostly for that reason and not because it is absolutely necessary for security purposes.

I just run Docker and my router maps ports to it. Container isolation and a basic firewall is more than enough for me.

Like are we talking what’s good enough security for hosting an anime waifu tier list blog or good enough security for a billion dollar corporation?

Except this move is likely less about promoting domestic solar production and more about protecting oil, gas, and coal by making green energy alternatives more expensive.

You mean the corporation you gave boatloads of personal data to is manipulating it to use against you in the pursuit of profit?! [surprised pikachu.jpg]

No, he did try it back in 2017:

“In late 2017, we and Elon decided the next step for the mission was to create a for-profit entity,” OpenAI said. “Elon wanted majority equity, initial board control, and to be CEO. In the middle of these discussions, he withheld funding. Reid Hoffman bridged the gap to cover salaries and operations.”

Elmo is just throwing a tantrum because he wanted to be the one to take them private and roll them into Tesla but the rest of the board said no.

This sounds like a conspiracy by big water trying to sell you more wetness!

Watch how quickly cheeto man lifts the sanctions when he takes office. Bet it’s a day one agenda item.

Even though cannabis is legal to grow for personal use (under certain conditions), it is illegal to sell unless you get a proper license and there are tons of regulations.

Yup, but thanks to unchecked capitalism, the increasing wealth is being concentrated in the hands of fewer and fewer. The corporations using AI to replace workers should be making up for the lost tax revenue, but corporations also don’t pay much in taxes. The shareholders don’t care though because they don’t need social assistance, all they want is the force of law to protect their capital and keep the working class in line.

Old people don’t pay much in taxes and AI doesn’t pay tax at all, so without the tax revenue of regular working class people all the social security benefits that the old people rely on will go bankrupt.

And the twist is 99.9% of Republican voters think they are in the in-group just because the leopards haven’t eaten their faces yet.

You better jump on this one because there will never be a 3rd. 🥲
