This is a prime example of capitalist brain rot. Capitalists think their money is ethereal and controls the world. Money is a means of conducting trade in a more efficient manner, it can't materialize anything out of nothing. You can't just value Greenland based on how exploitable the land/resources are. The only way you could buy Greenland is if the Danish government agreed to sell it, and this isn't the game of monopoly and the Danish are not looking to sell their territory.

This solves nothing if the goal is engagement. Any engagement in corporate properties is a form of engagement which promotes the media being presented. A corporate sponsored video is a corporate sponsored video, regardless of the platform.

I didn't vote for Elon, Bezos, or Zuckerberg. I don't even use any of their products. How did I get to choose?

While the Democrats smized and handed us over “peacefully” for pogroms, territorial grabs, limitless pollution, genocides and domestic terror in the name of their sacred oligarchic democracy

By Democrats I assume you mean the current Democrats leadership. They handed us over peacefully as most of them won't be affected by the issues that will inevitably be created and didn't want to create a standard of being held liable for their actions. Also is a oligarchic democracy really a democracy?

Personally speaking, going forward all we can do is try to do the best we can in the given situation. Help those around you, as you clearly stated you have, and keep those close to you and your neighbors safe. Those who stayed in Germany and protected those who were under attack by the Nazi party were the bravest and most impactful in my opinion.

I’d just skip OpenVPN altogether and get started with Wireguard or Headscale/Tailscale.

This one was huge for me. OpenVPN is pretty heavy with CPU overhead, where as wireguard is almost free. I was getting throttled due to the overhead of OpenVPN and roasting the CPU on my Netgear R6350 (it's what I had lying around). With wireguard I get nearly the same speeds as without a VPN and my loads are very reasonable.

Also with weaker routers like mine, be wary of trying to use QoS, this will probably not help network congestion and instead become a bottleneck (like it did for me). This is where a beefy dedicated router really shines.

My question is, why give it for free? Has their product developed enough to win in the AI developer space? Are we reaching the point where you could self-host an AI code assistant as good as copilot? Or are projects such as johnny.ai (renamed, I'm not going to advertise it) challenging Microsoft's market share in the AI developer space?

My only guess is Microsoft wants you to get used to their ecosystem and further ingrain developers into their development ecosystem. At best, once you are used to their ecosystem you'll stick with them out of familiarity. At worst, they can use your input (prompts, refactors, etc) to further the development of copilot.

To me this smells of typical subsidizing of a product to capture market share then lock in that market share. Anything I'm missing?

Edit: johnny.ai seems to be a domain offered for resale by godaddy. I didn't mean to link them but I'll leave it here, don't give godaddy money as they are a terrible domain name registrar.

It's is M.2, but not the M/B+M key most M2 SSDs use but rather a A+E meant for WIFI/Bluetooth. According to this video it's essentially 2 PCI Express x1 lanes and USB 2.0. The video goes on to explain some possible alternative uses:

  • A gigabit ethernet adapter
  • 2x SATA ports for a standard SATA drive
  • Coral tensor processor
  • SD card reader
  • 2x USB A-type ports
  • Some type of SIM card adapter (video wasn't quite sure on it either)
  • A PCI Express x16 slot that only functionally works as a x1

So while does this slot has it's uses, it's not meant to be used for M.2 drives but rather WIFI.

Should work fine as a proxy for HTTP traffic. If you want to forward all your traffic through your home IP I'd suggest using a VPN, using openvpn or wireguard.

It does when ya got nosey IT at a university whacking ports for standard proxy services. And doesn't hurt to do it either, the port is arbitrary. Also they state:

which will only allow authenticated users through.

So it sounds like they have proper authentication enabled.

To add to this spending some time in custody is inconvenient, but losing your rights being convicted of something you didn't even do is more inconvenient. You think you know what to say until you say the wrong thing and start digging a hole.

This is good to know, but adds an additional step to simply requiring a passcode to unlock on screen lock.

Just the act of refusing makes the act of seizing your phone legal or not. If you legally give them your phone by your own will, they are able to use all evidence they find in the courts. If you deny to give them your phone, and they seize it anyways and access it you have a valid path to throw the evidence they discover out as an illegal search and seizure of your property. I'm not a lawyer but that is the general thought process on denying them access to your property.

Edit: Just want to say this mostly pretains to United States law and similar legal structures. This advice is not applicable everywhere and you should research your countries rights and legal protections.
