Lead back in gas isn’t that far fetched. I have heard older folks complain about the fact that leaded gas isn’t a thing anymore because “it keeps the engine cleaner”.
The picture I saw of it looks 100% like the standard practice of rebranding a terrible iPhone-like android device that could only be manufactured in China. Just take a look at “luxury” phones of the early 2020s. Absolutely 100% a scam by idiots for idiots.

It actually kinda makes sense if you’re looking at what is essential here. They probably don’t start at 1 they probably start at 3 Then hit 7 then 12 Then 17 then 20. Anything in between is that granular torque curve sweet spot for whatever reason they require it maybe if they are way overloaded or had to stop while at capacity while going uphill.
Filecoin showed promise as a nearly free option. I used to be a storage provider. Met a lot of other storage providers at conventions. The people involved were pretty alright. I haven't interacted with the community in a few years though. Biggest problem I saw back then was a lack of a user friendly means of storing and retrieval. That might have changed now.
Whatever option you pick please make sure you encrypt your data before you send it off.
What ISP are you referring to? I have genuinely never heard of an isp that takes 24 hours to rotate your IP. Also utilizing dynamicdns is not going to incur more dns traffic? Dynamic DNS updates your dns provider from a system on your local network that your pub ip has changed then your provider will start sending traffic to the new ip. Propagation used to take a while but I haven’t experienced propagation wait times of over 10 minutes in years. This all being said dynamic DNS isn’t exactly the most elegant solution. It is just one of the simplest that I mentioned. There are significantly better options overall that completely take the requirement of a static pubip completely out of the equation and can be built using all free open source tools relatively easily.
I mean I’ll be real. Sure in some circumstances that could be an annoyance for 15 seconds for some software that might rely on a session whenever your ip changes like once a month if that. A rotating ip is probably one of the easiest things to work around amongst the plethora of challenges that ISPs present for those who want to self host.
I mean just take a look at what is involved if you are in a situation where cg-nat is implemented. You legitimately have no control over the root of your network at that point. I have that issue in particular with what is essentially a mobile hotspot as my failover for when my fiber fails. That being said I had to architect it in a way that took that took cg-nat into consideration. If I hadn’t then when fiber fails it would take down my services as a whole anyway.
My point is that those challenges have workarounds, you can solve those issues relatively easily and they even present a level of security. Where it is actively malicious is with restrictions to capacity such as upload limits in which they to a degree lie about their speeds and capacity. The terms of service stuff is just flat out awful too.
If you have control over at least the root of your network you can totally get away with hosting in a dynamic pub ip. You just need to set up dynamicdns. There are other ways of handling this specific issue too. You can always go to a colocation and set up a server there if you want. You could also create your own reverse proxy tunnel in a place that is public then forward it. There are lots of work arounds really. Yeah, it sucks that American ISPs generally don’t support ipv6 but there are totally ways to work around it all.
What really gets me up in arms is when they advertise gigabit connections or 500mb speeds only to limit upload to 20mb/s. That is where they are actively inhibiting self hosting communities.
It really depends. I like using live boot arch since it just gets me into a shell that I can chroot with really fast and I don’t have to worry about any graphical elements coming into play. Of course if it is something like a laptop then that is a totally different story.
Generally though I keep luks encrypted usb drive with a full install with most everything you would need for those situations complete with a fully set up and remote managed environment over tailscale so I can keep my preferences up to date and even remote in from another device of my choice. It makes the whole recovery process suck a whoooole lot less.
She loves doing it lol. At least she seemed to when I met her on the west side of the valley in LA. I genuinely had no idea it was her until she hit me with a “don’t have a cow man” lol
Can’t tell if this is premium cringe, a scam, a shit post, bad fanfic or an ARG….
Personally I did something similar here. You could likely find a rack for free if you look at to colos, data centers or schools. I got a 60u full enclosed rack from the colo I kept my servers at. The big problem was space. People look to get rid of them because they are such a burden in space.
Good stuff getting a gen9. I got a gen8 before I realized that there were firmware limitations particularly with a lack of support for gpt. I instead needed a really hacky workaround with mbr in order to run my name ssd as the boot drive at full capacity.
Also I like to drop this tool occasionally for any new homelabbers.
Idk if I would say MySpace still exists. Sure the domain exists. The brand exists but the original idea died along side the rest of the creative web interfaces long long ago.
Ipfs is a really cool useful project.
Filecoin is cool for super cheap longterm cold archives
Helium is well. I have mixed feelings about it.
Akashnet is a cool decentralized marketplace for docker container deployments.
There are a few peer to peer decentralized vpn things here and there.
There are tons of projects that are cool in concept but I really have to say you are more likely than not to lose money if you speculate on any tokens attached to the projects.
So I found appreciation for Kendrick Lamar and Tyler the creator after getting a pair of audio technica m50x to go with my Scarlett 2i2. I always liked a few songs from each of them but on those headphones in flac the music is legitimately night and day. They don’t even sound like the same music. Especially in the case of Kendrick who loves to throw tons of interesting things in to his beats that 100% go unnoticed unless you have a good set of headphones.
Where it really makes a difference is in music that is very well produced but busy. A good example would be like the foo fighters. Typically to me they sound pretty meh due to the heavy use of crash cymbals. Compression of lesser quality formats just makes the fantastic guitar tones and everything else just meld into this kind of slop when you hear it in mp3. Seriously do a side by side on something like monkey wrench.
A huge album that I have rediscovered is the entire album cross by Justice. It’s just mp3 but even with the dac and headphones it makes it sound great vs in the car only being meh thanks to repetitive things being highlighted.
Tl;dr. Good headphones+dac+flac = makes 78% of music you have heard 1000 times gooder.
It’s honestly wild the state of things. I’m currently going through community college and they make you sign a thing saying you won’t use ai but it is written with ai and the only thing it seems the teachers actually make (the syllabus) has blatant ai generated images and text all throughout.
Def would say it’s classical inspired but I would likely consider it more orchestral but you could also look up midi music or tracker music if you’re looking for older samples but the same vibes in terms of the piano intro but for longer bits.

I agree with you however it sadly is a self perpetuating cycle fueled by those who look to gain and those who accept exploitation of the working class regardless of whether it is knowingly or unknowingly.
Mentioning the hands. The one at the bottom left is just holding a phone and 100% nobody's in this photo. Also kinda rude by they gave the random lady in the middle the shadow mustache.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a place that sold monk fish processed so it kind of shocked me to see this whole monkfish in a supermarket.
