  • I think this should piss off a lot of people. Instead of doing something, they opted to do nothing, and now they’re exploiting the tragedy as a PR opportunity. They’re trying to shape their public image as an all-powerful arbiter. Worship the AI, or they will allow death to come to you and your family.

    Or perhaps this is all just rage bait, to get us talking about this piece of shit company, to postpone the inevitable bursting of the AI bubble.

    Edit: This is a sales pitch from OpenAI to the RCMP, with them saying they’ll sell police forces an intelligence feed. It just comes across as horribly tone deaf and is problematic for so many reasons.




  • As others said, spin down the drives when they’re not in use. Make sure power saving is enabled on the drives and tune them to spin down after some appropriate amount of time. (hdparm lets you customize it on Linux)

    Consider also sleeping the NAS when not in use. You can try using Wake-on-LAN to remotely wake it up when you need to use it. Saves on electricity and heat! You could also sleep it on a schedule, in case you need to be online for backups to run at particular times.


  • Licensing representation matters

    It doesn’t, because they’re the copyright owners. Think of their software as dual licensed: They run it themselves under a proprietary license, under which they reserve all rights. That has nothing to do with the AGPL version that they license to you. The AGPL doesn’t take away the rights they have as copyright owners, nor does it preclude dual licensing.

    (Are you a bot? Your reply is written like ChatGPT, and it has that self-defeating logic that ChatGPT has sometimes… eg. you wrote that you disagree with me, but then parroted the exact thing that I said.)





  • Literally nothing in this quote makes any sense. It’s 100% bullshit FUD that these sketchy VPN companies use to convince non-technical people to use them, like virus scanners back in the day.

    Your ISP doesn’t get any ad revenue or tamper with your traffic. Everything is HTTPS encrypted now and cannot be modified by your ISP (at least without you seeing a giant warning in your browser). Your ISP has nothing to do with the ads you see on the web.










  • Dude you need to chill out, make friends with some women, and touch grass in the real world. You’re a left-wing incel basically, from what you’ve written, you just don’t realize it. Just unplug from the internet for a while and chill out. Whatever happens on the internet is usually not reflective of the real world, just keep that in mind.

    Edit: I wrote exactly 12 words to you, and that makes you think I’m an “ignorant idealist” and have blood on my hands…?
