I suspect the optimized egg laying DNA is different from the huge breasted good tasting chicken meat DNA.

So the male born egg laying DNA chicks are unfortunately not useful to the farmers except for whatever they used the ground up remains for, which I suspect is probably feed or fertilizer.

Anybody seriously believing this has a misunderstanding of how little people care about what OS they use and how much they care that it works the way they expect.

They need FF to exist… But doesn’t necessarily have to work well.

My solution is a bit old school: A raspberry pi connected to my network and running miniDLNA. It has an externally powered USB hard drive. My TV runs Android and I have VLC installed. Any DLNA client works including Xbox and mobile phone apps too.

I don’t think mini DLNA is even updated anymore so eventually my solution might stop working but it’s been running solid for 10 years

Every time the article’s bits are replicated to another cloud server, and the old one is decommissioned, does it become a new article?

Yes. I want to put it into cloud storage that I control and can move around as required, so that I can’t run out of space. And so that I don’t need to manage a local physical drive.

The only thing holding me back with Immich has been the non-obvious back end storage options.

I’d like to keep my data in an S3 bucket, but from what I can tell it’s still unsupported because of some limitations with fuse.

Click… Click… Click…

Absolutely, it’s a common attack vector

For sure. If you really need to host thrn get the right package of internet services for that activity. If you need a fast fix for a small issue, this method gets around most ISP attempts to block hosting.

Haven’t done any comparisons, but I’m using this in cases where my throughput isn’t too important. I can stream my webcam over it in HD, establish an rdp connection, ssh back through, and control web interfaces like octoprint. It’s acceptable.

The big advantage is that a $2/month vps gets a static IP, therefore I don’t have to worry about a VPN provider changing the IP or blocking ports.

Tunneling an encrypted connection through an encrypted connection is pretty much always a bad idea but when you’re evading CGnat or other network blocks, sometimes it’s the best we can conjure up on a whim.

🫤 that does suck. Probably so they can charge more for a hosted package?

For reestablishing the connection, use the wrapper ‘autossh’. It can be run from systemd so that it’ll auto start and restart as you command it.

I have a couple instances using this that are absolutely rock solid after years.

A solid workaround is an ssh reverse tunnel with gateway ports enabled. You can do it for pennies with a cheap VPS.

With this option you open an ssh tunnel outbound and then you can connect back through it from the other side for whatever local services you want to run.

You first need a VPS with a public IP. Here’s a guide that explains it: https://www.howtogeek.com/428413/what-is-reverse-ssh-tunneling-and-how-to-use-it/

Just remember to enable gateway ports in the VPS side sshd.conf and disable or adjust any firewall on the VPS so the internet can come in through the VPS ip address and tunnel back to your local system.

This. I had the same situation being put behind CGnat and told them my security webcam needs port forwarding from outside and they had me back to a public IP within minutes.

Pave paradise, put up a parking lot.

Content platforms could start to poison their data with random AI generated garbage

Been a Keepass user for years and years. Absolutely top notch. There are plugins that can auto fill websites, that can open putty ssh sessions, basically everything you can imagine (or build).

A Microsoft lawyer could definitely argue in front of a judge that they not only don’t block it, they actually have a public guide on how to do it. Which may knock down an opposing argument a notch or two.

This is a thing about huge companies. They can only ignore alternatives at their own peril.

The Windows team probably prefers you don’t ever install Linux even though they wised up and created WSL (so they don’t lose developers to Linux desktop the way they lost creative designers to Mac).

The other teams? VSCode, Office 365, Azure, GitHub, Bing, Skype, etc wisely DGAF what your OS is - just that it’s supported so you can use it.
