  • Maybe i live in the future but i don’t see how i would know that shes has indian heritage. Admittedly as an autist i generally appear blind for deducting orgins based on genetics. Its just one of those weird things other people do.

    Neither do i associate curry or callcenters with nationality or race. Neither do i perceive them as bad.

    Til that curry originated in india, cool historical fact i guess. Would have guessed japan.

    We have a callcenter at my job, tons of stuff could be improved towards clear communication and the general customer experience.

    Maybe i squint really hard i can see what there going for but its so pitty and oldfashioned my brain just cant accept it as an actual stance.

    This post is in reflection a waste of our time, neither of those people seem capable for reason.




  • At that point the computers is promoted (or enslaved depending on pov) and called a (home) server.

    One nuance. You don’t need to provide access from outside your home network if you don’t want to open the ports, i prefer that most of services remain local for security anyway. Once those ports are open, you or anyone else can connect to the services using your_external_ip_address:portnumber

    You also dont need to run it 24/7, i started with a minecraft server that ran on planned times only, then a system that was online during afternoon-evening but not at night-morning.

    It is also possible if not recommended, to use a vpn to tunnel in your network and than you can access everything just like if you where at home from anywhere.

    If it all sounds intimidating, a laptop to try things out will do fine. Don’t expect a perfect polished system on first try, i have redesigned my network from scratch multiple times over the years. If you do want to get serious there are plenty of offices that have “old” desktop servers with pretty impressive hardware, the fans may make a lot of noise though.

    The Hardware in my current home server is mostly parts that got upgraded in my main pc. I have reached a point where i am willing to sometimes spend extra money on what my partner sometimes dubs “my second pc” but it is also doing a lot for us at this point. Much cheaper then a store-bought NAS.

    To be fair i do care quite a bit about that. Phones just make bad computers to me. Small screen and half is used by a keyboard.

    They seem designed to frustrate me so “it just works (most times)” is the only way i can stomach owning one.

    I have a dream where apple is forced to make ios fully open source and where screen/input devices can freely stream any system/OS from a dedicated server.

    Iphones are so “cleverly” dumb it makes them usable.



  • Autism is that you?

    “When we walk down the street, we know what we need to pay attention to—and what we don’t. Robots, on the other hand, treat all the information they receive about their surroundings with equal importance. Driverless cars have to continuously analyze data about things around them whether or not they are relevant. This keeps drivers and pedestrians safe, but it draws on a lot of energy and computing power.






  • Whatsapp is a product of Meta and files would still pass their proprietary servers. Let alone the metadata they collect. I refuse to use Facebook related products on principle. (Mostly stopped using google and microsoft products also)

    Singal can do actual p2p userdevice to userdevice. Only if thats not possible it will use temporary servers for storage. But i am actually against that, id prefer if the file would not send until a p2p connection is established.

    On paper the encryption of whatsapp is about as secure as Signal but can we trust Facebook to not implement a backdoor?. There open source llm-ai (llama) is by far the most intelligent model for its size. I plore people to ask what data Meta used to archive that result.




  • 25 MB wasn’t even enough to send a single full res screenshot of my desktop.

    Its 2024 and we still lack the basic functionality of file sharing between peers without a corp dictator restricting and snooping.

    Not that the functionality does not exist (p2p, literally) but if my grandma cant receive the family pictures its not basic.

    EDIT: it is possible i am remembering this from when it was 8MB.

    Empty desktop is just a few kb but it was not that hard to open enough stuff to exceed 10MB

    Til that i have been sending screenshots of only half my screen for not reason
