The traditional web was long gone anyways. There are like a dozent sites you find for any Google query. It’s so hard to find small hidden treasure on the internet.

You can’t say something like that without bringing forth some arguments…

I didn’t even know about that until now. But how does that affect AI and websites?

I use it all the time

I do backup like 1TB off-site. But it would still be a major blow if I lost the rest of it. I just try to live with that risk I’m fully aware exists.

I do weekly ZFS snapshots though and I’m very diligent on my smart tests and scrubs. I also have a UPS and a lot of power surge protection. And ECC Ram. It’s as safe as it gets. But having a backup would definitely be better, you’re right. I just can’t afford it for this much storage.

I don’t have Avengers 4K. It’s all just Linux ISOs.

In theory. But I already spent my pension for those 64TB drives (raidz2) xD. Getting off-site backup for all of that feels like such a waste of money (until you regret it). I know it isn’t a backup, but I’m praying the Raidz2 will be enough protection.

Everyone is acting rationally except Germany. The usual.

I’m just skipping that. How am I going to backup 48TB on an off-site backup?!

This is ages old

Adding some extra CPU compute or ASICs for solving puzzles will not slow down a bandwidth-constrained bot. Bandwidth is still the bottleneck and cost factor. With the current state of AI investments, I bet they will go to great lengths to scrape every little bit of the internet at whatever internet bandwidth they have available.

How does this work? What prevents AI bots to just solve the proof-of-work and enter the site anyways? It doesn’t take much compute to solve it if I can do it on my phone in a second.

Tabbaco again?

Hold on, racism? We are talking about racism? Did I miss something?

Right. Tell that Argentinia, Greece or Ecuador.

Not surprising. Germany is the least desireble country to run a business or be an employee right now. And it’s only going to get worse when the government goes bankrupt aswell. I’m already looking for migration opportunities.

So why do you trust any company? Every company has people like that employed. Do you make a political-views check on every employee of a company before choosing your product?

I bet every company has at least one employee with right-wing political views. Choosing a product based on some random quotes by employees is stupid.

Maybe you should reconsider your threat model. You seem to be very light on information. If political views is an issue than you’re the issue.
