archive.is or their mirrors should also be used, as archive.org has proven vulnerable to takedown requests from corporations, wouldn't surprise me if they could be coerced into removing their data by USA govt request as well.

Pot, kettle ... a pox on both their houses?

Interesting fact, thanks.

As they say though, even a broken clock can be right twice a day

Use of a phrase doesn't automatically imply agreement with its originator.

Elon Musk and Joe Rogan say it's worth investigating, great! They can go... please

Yeah... and unless you really, really enjoy configuring your own stuff and tinkering, a hosting service is much easier.

I happen to be insane, and enjoy that stuff. And it's not a business server (well, not anything big anyway).

If you're in Canada, Rogers (nee Shaw) and Telus small business plans both offer 'static' IPs (Shaw's residential plans aren't officially static, but they rarely change on a residential modem unless you are always switching out hardware). Telus business fibre 1GB plan offers up to 5 static IP addresses.

Then you must purchase one or more domain names and assign them to your IP address... depending on your business's needs even small consumer hardware can run a web server just fine.

Have a backup strategy though! And be sure you actually test the restore procedure on a periodic basis!

Linux backups can range from home-grown 'rsync' scripts and hot-plug external drives as backup, to more fancy 'Time Machine' like backup things (I honestly forget what's out there for Linux right now, I have my own rsync scripts to back up to external drives).

My home server is my own, but if money is on the line you want proper backup and failover even. Most Linux distributions are easy-peasy to set up with Apache or nginx web servers but if you've never set those up you'll need to study lots of tutorials and manual pages.

If you don't want to tend to security and backups yourself though, it might be best to find a hosting service.

Let me guess, a few of those "domains" will be built by companies he and his kids partner with? Sounds lucrative for him, how convenient.

Hasn't Jared Kushner had an eye on that land for a while?

Can we start with Sam Altman please? Hah.

I was amazed at first with ChatGPT, outpainting, and the early stuff; it was fun making 'paintings' and playing with other imagery, but the main uses are taking such a dark turn I really think we're going to regret this technology's existence.

TLDR: repo github.com/boltdb/bolt is legit, don't use any similarly-named copies, supposedly.

This is scary indeed. We may someday soon need something like an active tattoo on our face, or a badge on clothing, with a pattern that changes each second based on a private/public key pair, so videos can't be easily faked of our own likeness with a valid visual signature.

That could actually work -- a QR code that updates at regular intervals, encoding an ever-changing signature. It could be validated to certify the video of a person was genuine.

Of course that would also mean any authenticated video can never be truly anonymous :(

Time to consider kicking the US out of the UN. They never respect it when a ruling goes against them anyway, so let's just drop the charade that they are members in good faith. (A few other nations need the same treatment, for sure.)
