People in this thread are romanticising end of life as frolicking happily at a party one moment and slipping away in a magical slumber the next.

Most likely you’d be in bed either crying fo pain meds or asleep after having been given pain meds.

I too would, from where i am now love the idea of my consciousness slipping away while tripping on dmt but i recognize that once the time comes i may not desire nor care anymore.

Taste is just just more sensitive touch and smell.

Prove me wrong!

He is in the files with context being about his attendance to a scientific conference.

There is a viral picture of him and some women in a bikini at a party but those where verified to be his staff/caregivers.

Everyone who had contact with Epstein deserves scrutiny and should be included in investigations but simply being in the files is in no way proof of wrongdoing on its own.

This is not just chatgpt and also not caused by a recent changed.

all llms seems to love this pattern and i agree once you know about it you start seeing it everywhere.

Speak for yourself, i am terrified of phone calls.

Don’t like many parts of how ai is killing social contact but this one very specific part, yes please.

The gambler!

A lot depends on your daytime obligations.

If you have a job during the weekdays, go to bed earlier that evening.

If you are un or self-employed and don’t need to be anywhere there is nothing inherently wrong with having a unique schedule. Some people do have a biorhythms that makes them more awake and focused at night. Sleepy around noon, evolved from our ancestors needing people who stay on watch at the fire.

Then there is also a long list of famous historic people who had very unique schedules with multiple smaller sleep times around the day.

The tricky part thou is when you suddenly do get daytime obligations and have to conform back to societal sleep standards.

I could see corporations take over the mainstream public web but the open networking tools will persist to create a new open web besides it.

If the “darkweb” does one thing very well its demonstrating how there will always be a way.

Just purchase some blood plasma from young people and inject it.

As long as the platform can pretend there are no children it doesn’t need to provide safety features for them. Thats what this is about.

Adults can be exploited more freely and legally. As a bonus they are getting more personal information of having you provide proof that you are of exploitable age.

That kids will fake it will be blamed on the parents and not them.

I am fortunate we have enough mental energy to go to stores to buy ingredients to cook our own meals most days.

Its similar, to what is referred to as “adhd-tax” I am still in this picture more then i would like.

Card against humanity… maybe…

You can tell this is accurate by the way they hold their tummy like they feel sick from constant stress.

My week as a windows forced office worker just peaked having seen this meme.

I highly prefer a wireless mouse, but only if does also come with a wire.

“Linux is superior, i am in full control and free to use my device however”

has an iphone

I would still consider myself a noob but i do feel accomplished enough to answer this properly.

Hardware depends on your budget. It does not need to be bleeding edge either, i would focus on a good server case that makes it easy to upgrade over time and maybe fits a few harddrives if you don’t plan on having a nas.

Also make sure to check how much sata connections your motherboard can handle, using an m.2 slots may occupy some of the physical sata connections.

I highly, highly recommend proxmox for an OS.

You can set up every different service into its own lxc container, its wonderful to know you can experiment with whatever and everything else will be unaffected and just keep working. Within lxc things can just run using docker (though this is officially not recommended it works fine). The resource sharing between lxc containers is excellent. Taking snapshots a breeze. And when an lxc is not enough you can easily spin up some vm with whatever distro or even windows also. Best server-choice i made ever!

The zfs format for your storage pool is also very good. And you definitely want redundancy, redundancy makes it so x amount of drives can fail and the system just keeps running like normal while you replace the broken drive, otherwise a single drive failing ruins all your data.

Unless you make every drive its own pool with specific items that you backup separately but thats honestly more troublesome then learning how to setup a pool.

How you want a pool and how much redundancy is a personal choice but i can tell you how i arranged mine.

I have 5 identical drives which is the max My system can handle. 4 of them are in a pool with a raidz1 configuration (equivalent to raid-5) this setup gives me 1 drive of redundancy and leaves me 3 drives of actual usable space.

I could have added the fifth drive in the pool fo more but i opted not too, to protect my immich photons against complete critical failure. This fifth drive is unmounted when not used.

Basically my immich storage are in a dataset, which you can think of as a directory on your pool that you can assign to different lxc to keep things separate.

Every week a script will mount the fifth drive, rsync copy my immich dataset from the pool onto it. Unmount the drive again. Its a backup of the most important stuff outside of the pool.

This drive can also be removed from the cases front in an emergency, which is part of why I recommend spending some time finding a case that fits your wants more then worrying about how much ram.

Best of luck!

While we all have and know so much information in our modern age, the average peasant during the rebound age of the 21st century knew less in total then you can find on a single digiread today.

Its another thing to literally be so autistic that the extremely bad repercussions simply don’t matter.

It wouldn’t really be a choice on my part. If society finds my existence so offensive they execute me for it thats a problem for their conscious not mine, i will die some day anyway and i am content to do so for not betraying what i know is right.

Feels bad for my family though but being an example of making unethical compromises is worse.
