Is it me, or Latvia's song doesn't sound like "nevar" ?

That's the price of privacy I am currently paying.

There was, however, a video from The Hated One, that presents a different perspective on this. Maybe privacy is more environment friendly than we think.

A lot of energy is wasted on data collection and analysis for advertising. Devices with modified firmwares, like LineageOS and GrapheneOS, do not collect such data, reducing the load on analysis servers.

So, prosumers, leveraging computers that are not optimized for AI workloads, being limited to models that are typically inferior to commercial ones, are wasting more energy for even more slop?

My parents wouldn't even notice that their computer decided to encrypt their files. And they will blame the service guy for not being able to recover their photos, in case of hardware failure.

Teams is like a Discord replacement. Yammer is probably like a Facebook/Twitter replacement.

I have heard people at my work actually using it. I was thinking of starting posting about Linux there, just for the troll, as the company seems to like/trust Microsoft a bit too much.

 

In 28/2/2023, at Tempi, 57 people lost their lives because trains in Greece lack the required equipment and personnel to operate safely.

Since then, the government has been tirelessly trying to make people believe that they are overreacting, in many cases completely disrespecting the families telling bullshit in the news channels. Such recent example was our Minister for Health, Adonis Georgiadis, saying that those families mostly care about the money from the compensations.

Today, I am proud that people all around the world have gotten to know about the tragedy and are trying to spread the message.

 

I had a conversation with some sys-admins that are trying to limit what their kids can access on the internet. One was worried about how to implement a YouTube channel whitelist on his network.

So, an idea came to my mind. Wouldn't it be relatively easy to implement this using Piped's API?

Given that the kids' devices are using self-signed certificates, allowing full traffic monitoring, it should be possible to filter YouTube videos using the data provided by Piped API.

Do you guys think it's a good idea? I could start this project, if people think that it's useful.

 

This little monster chews cables. So, I ran power cords through water hoses.
