They’ll get retooled just like all past, unsuccessful technology. However, I am curious why idle data centers would cause you heartburn. That cycle is not only relegated to realm of internet related technology. That happens throughout all levels.

From day one we all needed to collectively reject any effort to make any profit online.
WUT? Why?
We wouldn’t be in this situation today with Trump
Trump was inevitable and is a product of silly, gullible Americans blown about by political winds without a compass or direction. Americans don’t vote with the long term in mind. For the most part, their future lies within 4 year increments, never really grasping the fact that legislation passed today will be with us for generations if not longer. All you have to do is look at Cannabis laws in this country perpetuated by rich, white, racist, capitalist from 100 years ago.
We’d have flying cars and world peace
As someone who has been promised flying cars for 71 years, I don’t think I want the average motorist flying about all willy nilly. We can’t even handle the tarmac ffs…and you want flying cars? World peace? The world doesn’t want peace. There is too much to be had in conflict.


A separate vulnerability in Linux allows users with limited rights to escalate to root. Tracked as CVE-2026-43499, it lurked in the OS for 15 years. Researchers from Nebula Security said they discovered it using Vega, Nebula’s AI-assisted vulnerability scanner. Matt Lucas, a researcher and founder of RedEye Security, explained
This will become more and more common as we use AI to find vulnerabilities faster (hopefully) than bad actors can use AI to find vulnerabilities.
Oh, idk. The entire internet and supporting infrastructure pretty much runs on opensourced software. When you’re talking about a search engine tho, unless you have a data center, a huge pile of cash, and a willingness to part with most of it, search engines are expensive to run.


Get anyone who acts like it’s easy to work on someone’s setup that isn’t their own, and they’ll quickly remember how complicated it all is.
I would agree with this and the sentiments above. If I am on my system, I know how I have it set up. I can reference pages of notes if I do forget how I did something. I am more familiar with my server and services. When it comes to someone else’s set up, I can tell you how I did it, and that it works for me. You’ve got to kind of adapt it to your scenario. I can understand how that would be frustrating for someone starting out, as with Linux, there seems to be a thousand ways to do one thing.
Are about the only selfhosted ones I know of. I run SearxNG and have a good deal of success with it. It does bork image searches sometimes and tosses in these lithograph artworks, which are quite interesting to me, but don’t help in the search itself. In as much as it will draw the ire of some, AI makes a pretty good search engine if you are searching for really specific things like: List all Blues artists that were active in 1942 in Memphis. Give resource links.


Off topic, but I’ve been enjoying CookTrace. I haven’t got all the options and all the stops pulled out yet, but working on it. Thanks.
I do too. I like people just sharing how their set up is, how it operates, what they do, how they did it. Because there are soooo many ways do do just a single thing, and I like to cross compare what I have to what someone else has done and maybe pick up some tips and pointers most of the time.
We should have a My Set up time for these types. Like open mic at a blues joint. Just get up tell all, show it off, give all the details, the snags you have come up one, the things that really work well. The whole shebang.

Hmmm I seem to be still on v2.14.1 but I’m not getting an alert that it needs an update. Linkwarden is a solid piece of work Daniel. I use it daily. Thank you.
You’d be surprised. I do have a projects folder that is large. However, I do get around to most of it.
ESP-32 black magic
For their size, they are surprisingly powerful and very versatile. The Nomad project you posted looks intriguing. I could see that being useful when we’re out on the pontoon because the CD player has long since died and there is zero I want to listen to on terra-radio. He even includes the NomadCase.stl file. Sweet! Bookmarked. Thanks for sharing.
+1 for the write-up
Looks like you’ve got it all down on a note. Good job. Tailscale is half n’a halfa (as they say around these parts). Some of it is opensource, some of it is proprietary.
LOL! Dude, I absolutely, positively, must put things back in their proper place, or I’d forget everything. For instance, I went out this morning to feed the Koi in the Koi pond. I have a plastic jug that I keep the pellets in, that is kept in a drawer in the living room. When I take the jug out, I must leave the drawer pulled open to alert my dumbass that something goes back in there when I come back in. Keys absolutely must be hung on the key rack each and every time after use. Spectacles, testicles, wallet, and watch. Every day.
If I were to hazard a guess, I would say that there are more people here who do utilize AI in some form or another, than those who don’t. It’s just that they are not very vocal about it because they don’t wish to have all the drama associated with divulging such information.


this advice goes for anyone not just using ai. people will be wrong too
Truth. A lot of times I will even pose the same questions to multiple AI. It doesn’t guarantee that all three of them aren’t smoking crack, but you get a better 360 view. It’s akin to back when I worked for the man. I created an excel spreadsheet that helped us when estimating jobs. Say you had 50’ of 10"x20" duct, then a 90, a drop for a grill, necked down to 30’ of 12"x12" duct. At the bottom of the spreadsheet it would spit out numbers and prices. Now, that didn’t necessarily mean that the numbers and the prices were accurate in every way to this specific job. There are a lot of variables to consider. You have to understand the output and whether that is truly applicable to the situation at hand.
Didn’t downvote you but…
LOL! The level condescension sure is right on point Lemmy.That genuinely got a chuckle. In some ways I enjoy being that simple child. Full of wonderment at this universe around him.
