I wonder why Greene king want to tax profits? It's because they don't make any.

Nope, you chose to expand beyond what you can handle. Tax the wealth, if you can't afford to run your pubs give them back to the people and pay less tax that way.

I dunno, the second silent generation? Born into hard times, don't know any better. Defined by their fiscally conservative ways and "none of my business" outlook?

They haven't been too silent though, and more power to 'em. The un-silent generation? Seems a bit disrespectful to riff off of their great/grandparents though.

Maybe. Their generation starts 1946 so I thought they were the product. One way or the other they are involved in a baby boom.

They're just place holders until the generation gets a shared experience to refer to. Millennials saw the millennium. Boomers were products of the baby boom but they also saw their economy boom. Gen X are missing, their letter was fitting.

My prediction is one of them will become gen algorithm, as they never knew a time when their media wasn't decided for them. Maybe, gen android, few of them know how to use a file system after Chromebooks became ubiquitous. Or they'll be the second greatest generation due to ww3. This stuff is entirely unpredictable.

I must have been having more basic problems than you. I found LLMs to present the most common solution, and generally the most common way of setting it up is the "right-way", At least for a beginner. Then I'd quiz it on what docker compose environments do, what "ports: ####:####" meant, how I could route one container through another. All very basic stuff. Challenge: ask gpt

what does "ports:

-####:####" mean in a docker compose?

Then tell me it doesn't spit out something a hobbiest could understand, immediately start applying, and is generally correct? Beginners, still verify what gpt spits out.

By the time I wanted to do non-standard stuff I was better equipped with the fundamentals of hobbiest deployment and how to coax an LLM into doing what I needed. It won't write an Nginx config for you, or an ACL file, but with the documentation and an LLM you could teach yourself to write one.

Goes without saying I'd take the output of the LLM to Google for verification, then back to the LLM for a hobbiest's explaination, back to Google for verification... Also, all details are place holders: don't give it your email, api-keys, domains, nothing. Learn to scrub your input there and it'll be a habit here is a bonus too.

Properly made software has great documentation and logs. If you know how to access those logs and read documentation (both skills in themselves)... Not to mention not all software is "properly made" some of it is bare bones and just works(tm). Works it do, absolutely not a criticisms for FOSS projects, I love your stuff keep making it, and I'll keep finding ways to teach myself to use it.

For all its flaws. Low level tech support, rubber duck, command explainer is something LLMs do really well. Kept my early mistakes off the web and got me where I needed to be most times.

Me too. It was a statement about society in general.

Sad state of affairs that people can't assume others know water companies don't have anything to do with oil drilling and exploration licenses. The company we keep hey?

Ban the hosepipes, but don't stop contruction of new oil? What a joke.

For the same reason republicans won't: They're on the list, their friends are on the list and their donors are on the list.

Journal. Let your feelings out, incrementally, in a place that you don't feel vulnerable for doing so.

Today co-worker did X, they're a cunt. It annoys me because Y. Seriously, Co-worker is a dick. At the time I wish I had done Z, but Z is illegal. Nexr time I'll try [reasonable action]

No OP being a bundle of sticks?

Thank you, saved. I'd still be a little but fucked, but not entirely.

I guess I should get on with learning/donating to this soon while the sun's still shining with Tailscale. Slower, more gentle transition, fuck up in some dev environment instead of my actual server. Goddamn was tailscale so easy though.

Big words. I hope, though don't trust, they can live up to them. But if tailscale goes, I'm just plain fucked. Thats certainly an indicator they're worth some money to me, but there's many a FOSS project before I get to paying a VC one.

As an aside, an interesting service would be a fund allocation type thing. You donate £x, tick which services you use and the funds get divvied up by what you use. Only able to donate £10 but use a lot of services? Each service gets very little, too little to donate as an individual, so little the individual doesn't. But, on aggregate (with hundreds, or dozens of users) it would add up to a worthwhile donation. I thought of "round robin"ing my donations: pihole gets 10 this month, jellyfin the next, audiobookshelf the month after that... but yikes the admin.

Funds are donated when £x is accrued at the end of the month, and the service is maintained by earning interest on the funds held through the month. Idealistic, ripe for abuse, and out of my league to write and administrate. I promise I'd publish all the finances to keep me honest though.

It's not weird at all. They're share holder corpos, anti-morality is par for course. Corporations are not our friends.

Agreed. I'll get over myself one day and build one. For now Airvpn supports port forwarding at an affordable (to me) price, so I let them deal with the moral dilemma.

It's coming though, i2p is where my server is headed, even if I keep a VPN up too.

I really want to build an i2p router, and have started a couple times, but the lack of control of what goes through my hardware stops me every time. It's a cool project and, sadly, looking more necessary every year.

It's weird I don't have these hang ups for other systems. Running a meshcore node doesn't give me the willies. Just for i2p I worry how much csam is going through my router.

Someone doesn't know the folly of extending straight lines graphs into the future.

I'm a little embarrassed about how many of these, if not for the thread, sound like believable names to me. Mayhaps I'm not as cultured as I would like to think.

Not to defend Germany, but given their relative size of prison populations, and number of citizens extra judicially killed by law enforcement. The US is, measurably, the worse of the two.

It is, given the thread thanks for the correction. Fixed
