Never underestimate the bandwidth of a truck full of disks doing 75 mph on the highway.

If I understand correctly, the OS isn’t the problem, the radio frequencies are.

You get what you pay for. I’ve never met an offshored Indian developer who was paid what a western developer was paid. If I were them, I actively wouldn’t give a fuck either. I love my Indian colleagues, they are great people, and know how to have great parties. They’re way cooler when you realize they’re actual people and not code-bots.

Yes, it uses less than the public thinks, but it still uses too much. 1 ounce is too much. AI can fuck right off. It is not entitled to our world.

You’ve got to understand though, Luciferia is a company that’s going places. Obviously people are going to want to work there when you see all the cutting edge research they’re doing. I mean they literally just built the first actual Torment Nexus… it used to only be purely science-fiction, like in that book “Don’t create the Torment Nexus” but they managed to make it a reality! Isn’t that incredible?

Well we live in a world literally run by pedophiles now, so sadly probably yes. I doubt that’s what the cameras are for though.

I don’t know where you’re seeing this, maybe this is a Fediverse thing, but I’m literally on Selfhosted@lemmy.world right now.

I believe you, and I feel for you. The saddest part about AI is how it has tainted all high-effort, carefully organized work to the point that it makes it hard to distinguish between the most trustworthy content and the least trustworthy. We need better tools for information provenance. Like I said, the first thing I did was look into your backgrounds to try to understand “is this some AI slop bot or a real person with a real brain” and everything I looked at suggested it being legit and that’s why I decided to give you the benefit of the doubt. But that doubt is everywhere nowadays. It’s rough out there.

The formatting, style, cadence and tone feel very AI to me. The authors seem like real people with real history and I’m willing to give them the benefit of the doubt, the topic and status summarization is genuinely interesting whether it’s AI or not, but it’s hard not to feel a bit sus reading it.

That’s great for production AWS managed services, but that still sounds like the opposite of self-hosting to me, I don’t need scaling like that, I’m not lying when I admit I’m using sshfs (which was a slightly tongue-in-cheek counterpoint to s3) and despite everyone dunking on it, it is in fact working perfectly at my scale. I know I’ve been downvoted to purgatory but I still stand by my original comment. I don’t understand why you would need S3 or S3 compatibility in a self-hosting context. The closest someone has come to explaining it is the guy who said choice is good… like, yeah, it’s good to have the choice I guess, but… still doesn’t seem like a great choice for self-hosting. I appreciate you trying to explain it but I feel like everyone is missing the self-hosting context here. For a little home lab I simply don’t see the value. Why are people promoting AWS and AWS-adjacent services here?

So enlighten me then, save me from my terrible hack that is working fine for me and tell me what it DOES have to do with. I thought S3 was a remote filesystem you can use, essentially Amazon’s proprietary version of webdav where you get a http bucket you can only access with aws proprietary tools. What’s the attraction? Clearly it seems like people love it, and I am getting dunked on for asking an honest question, which feels a bit unhealthy and unpleasant for the self-hosting community.

Am I supposed to be familiar with AWS infrastructure as a prerequisite for being here?

Yes that’s exactly what he said, all the worst of humanity. (partial sarcasm. maybe.)

S3 compatibility is nice I guess if you need S3 compatibility but also… why would you need that?

sshfs does everything I need and compatibility is almost native.

It doesn’t sound like you really have any understanding of, or concern for, what happened to the other 77 women, nor what happened to the other 79+ men your girlfriend “swiped left” on in your scenario.

And you’re accusing me of using boomer logic? That’s some classic boomer logic if I’ve ever heard it: “I got mine, fuck the rest of you, it’s obvious why you all failed, you just need to work harder or lower your standards, even though I didn’t, because everything just worked out flawlessly for me and I don’t want to be too introspective about why in case I accidentally develop some empathy about it”

Yeah, dating apps are just fine the way they are. Nothing wrong with them at all.

My girlfriend had 80+ matches when I started talking to her. I had 3. And yet here we are.

That math ain’t mathing, bud. You ever wonder what’s going on with the 77 other women you didn’t match with? Or are we supposed to believe they somehow never actually existed? Are hospitals lying about the number of girls born into the world? Are 90% of girls dying as children? Do women have lower standards for relationships? Is there one guy out there engaged in polygamy with all 77 women? Or are they all ugly and don’t deserve love?

Conversely, why did your girlfriend have to go through 80+ guys to get to you?

Dating apps are incel factories. They have no incentive to actually match you with a mate at all, much less a soulmate. The fact that you did anyway is actually a failure-to-profit on their part, and you have successfully defied their business model and found love despite their efforts. Good for you.

Good for you doesn’t imply good for everyone though, nor good for society. They are toxic hellholes, and I stand by my assertion that they are what broke dating (for almost everyone, genuinely glad they didn’t get you, enjoy your life of never having to use a dating app again)

Dating apps are what broke dating. If you are using dating apps, you’re doing it wrong.

I can see the appeal of eschewing society as a whole in favor of a bot that I know won’t ask me my political or religious leanings and then tailor their behavior around my answer.

… tailoring their behavior around your answer is literally how LLMs work. That’s why they’re so sycophantic. Also unless you’re running it locally on a machine you control, it doesn’t need to ask you about your political or religious leanings anyway because it already knows. That’s exactly the sort of context that data brokers have already long-since developed around your identity, and a commercial AI model is absolutely going to be looking at that kind of context to know exactly how to talk to you.

You are going the wrong direction if you think AI is the solution to any of these things at least in the way it is currently being used.

Casual smalltalk with randos is probably the cure. “Much less appealing” is the environment that’s been intentionally created to prevent you from doing that. We’re all in the same boat.

That’s not athleticism, that’s a different sport. I can beat marathon runners too when I use a bicycle.

Even if you were somehow able to overcome the “can” question, the far more meaningful question is “will it do so fairly”, and it’s absolutely certain it will not. If you agree the problem of the justice system is that rich people own it, this is not the solution to that problem. This literally is that problem.
