Nostr really isn’t about the platform, it’s about the simple, platform-agnostic keypair setup that identifies you.

They call it: newsflation

Are you really asking why advertising that “the following comment may be hallucinated” nets you more downvotes than just omitting that fact?

You’re literally telling people “hey, this is a low effort comment” and acting flabbergasted that it gets you downvotes.

It’s not irrelevant, it’s that you don’t actually know if it’s true or not, so it’s not a valuable contribution.

If you started your comment by saying “This is something I completely made up and may or may not be correct” and then posted the same thing, you should expect the same result.

Is it?

As a general thing because I found myself trying to justify my Gear Acquisition Syndrome – it’s a good idea to split services across devices, rather than having some monolithic home server (which is where most people start). That way if one box goes down, it doesn’t take down your whole stack.

If you have some machines scattered about doing different things, it might be time to consider logically grouping services and splitting them across that hardware.

Namedrop the mobo and soundcard

It’s not even a majority of people.

It is false that 90% of the people you’ve met like Hitler.

“Ed is the standard text editor.”

That’s nice. Just exposing your dishonesty. Move along.

I’ll say this.

When I weigh the choice of handing over my personal videos to a company that is explicitly and actively going to use them to:

• train and improve their massive corporate AI tools
• develop their targeted ad platform (which is their real product)
• build a comprehensive profile about me and my family

Or

Putting a NAS at a friends house, or paying a couple bucks a month for some block storage.

I end up preferring the second set of options. It’s fine if you don’t, but don’t pretend you have no idea that your personal videos and information are valuable to Google.

Because, frankly, I don’t think you’re being honest.

Do you really not know how Google’s business model works, or are you playing dumb?

Is money is the only thing about yourself that you ascribe value to?

Nope. The admin of sh.itjust.works lets you use their storage for free. Google does not.

There are things that are free, Youtube is not one of them.

What other platform can I use as cloud storage for video files for free?

None. YouTube included.

And honestly even if it did serve it’s actual purpose, the cumulative power consumption would still be a point of debate.

Yeah, but at that point you’d have to consider it against how much power the traditional banking system uses.

Plus the acronym rules are inconsistent. It should be FURRE or FURRORIE

So is the internet.
