Disposable my ass. I just did the final upgrades to my AM4 platform to be my main rig for the next 5 years. After that it will get a storage upgrade and become a NAS and do other server stuff. This computer 7 years in has another 15 left in it.
If ifs and butts were candy and nuts we’d all have a merry Christmas.
Naw, the valuation is still $3.22 trillion. The bigger tell will be the AI only companies start feeling the squeeze.
The part that is most offensive is the lack of choice if you don’t want to fund things that really don’t need to be funded by the public at large anymore. The price also really isn’t justifiable when a year of amazon prime and monthly Netflix is still cheaper. Even if paying for the infra was the most important thing, it isn’t needed anymore with broadband internet access available everywhere now. It’s like saying we need the pony express to deliver mail in the age of planes trains and automobiles.
Besides here in the US I don’t want the government running a public broadcast/propaganda machine. It isn’t getting better over there either. The same government that will arrest you for a social media post for being deemed offensive by an unelected beaurocrat is the same government I don’t want running any kind of propaganda arm. Which gets back to choice. If I wanted to watch any alternative, I’d still have to fund the BBC.
people would switch off.
They are. Subs to traditional pay TV here in the states have been dwindling for years. With how broadcast television is dying anyway I wouldn’t be surprised if the UK would soon require a license to watch any live streams on the internet even without owning a TV just to make up the lost revenue. Governments are diabolical when it comes to protecting their revenue especially when they have a monopoly on violence.
You don’t think they are using that data to see who doesn’t have a licence to go sniffing around for violators?
Besides £174.50/year is ridiculous ($241.06). I’ve watched the BBC, it ain’t worth that much.
This is the UK. You need a licence for a TV. I almost would guarantee that this is happening
Kentucky has a Democratic governor
Their server security is likely much better than your measly home pc
At this point it’s on purpose by Micro$lop. The SharePoint vulnerability last year was the prime example of that. They fixed the problem on their servers, then told everyone about it, and released a patch.
You can do it yourself, but the actual crime is if you tell someone how to circumvent it.
You don’t think China sees the vacuum left from the current players exiting consumer markets? The protectionism playbook that the US has run is catching up to bite us in the ass, which will be accelerated now that China has EUV.
That and I expect used enterprise hardware to continue to be sold. I have an old hotel check-in computer as my current router running OPNSense.
Local and self controled AI has some really cool applications. When I can afford it, replacing my home security cameras with something that stays local and not sent to the cloud is on my list of things to do. When I do that having a local AI do image recognition and tying it into my home assistant setup will be a cool project.
Might want to keep an eye on !linuxphones@lemmy.ca. It’s time we take back control of that computing sector
That was the thing. When I first setup both of them they worked fine with cloudflared. A storage configuration change killed the TrueNAS app but it worked with cloudflared up until the day it died. For the AIO setup, I forget which version (11.x?), but an update broke cloudflared connectivity to the Apache container. I can point the tunnel at the master container and it works, but not the Apache container. Rebuilding it and going through logs and my config never revealed any reason why it broke. Nextcloud forums were basically “get gud” and read this self hosting for morons guide as far as help went. The way their forums have been is what’s really turned me sour to the whole project tbh which is a shame. The project really is slick and great when it works.
I’ll give that docker stack a go and see what happens. This weekend’s project is to move my rig into a new case with a quieter and modern power supply and better cooling.
I’ve run both AIO docker and TrueNAS app deployments, and it’s the most house of cards fragile of anything I’ve ever hosted. I still haven’t been able to get the Apache container to talk to my cloudflare tunnel. I’m still looking for better options to self host or the Nextcloud forums to actually be helpful.
Indie games it is then.
Which is likely why we’ll never see Gradius V ever get a rerelease
not going to buy ram ever again?
I mean, it certainly feels like I won’t for at least the rest of this decade. I’m glad when I built my AM4 rig, I splurged a bit for 32 GB. If the market doesn’t doesn’t fix itself, I see myself keeping what I have running for much longer than it should. You know that one older relative that ran windows 95 and AOL well into the Obama administration? That feels like my future tbh at least on the hardware side.
I hope AMD fires up the plant to build 5800x 3D again so I can max out my rig as it stands. My plan for my next build will likely be AM6 or even 7 if I can stretch my current PC for that long, else, i might have to give up on personal computers as a hobby.
I fear the future is getting time on a remote computer at university at best with a terminal again. That environment will be ripe for exploitation and holding people’s data hostage even moreso than the current cloud system.

I’m hoping LibreWolf and Iron Fox hold out long enough for Ladybird to take off and I’ll be switching
I have no qualms against paying for Netflix and getting their videos from other sources. If Netflix wants my viewing data, they can change their stance. Until then, Jellyfin with Jellyserr to handle requests will suffice. The Netflix app may just become a browse app if they don’t accept the future.
Yeah, I usually over spec when I build my main rig because I want to have it last and repurpose it later down the road. I finally retired a power supply that I bought back in the mid 2000s. I can’t power modern cards anymore unfortunately. 🫡 pc power and cooling single rail take a break. You’ve earned it.
