"Copyright for me but not for thee" reminds me of Anthropic crying foul about their code being leaked and potentially used [0]

YouTube has got a problem with claims though to be fair the sheer amount of volume being added every day it's beyond impossible to asses every claim. Their dispute system could do with some improvements though from what I hear.

I am super curious how this could pass the smell test though in a court if all her claims are accurate, surely it's a simple process to prove she created the music first ?

This is really nice, I appreciate anyone who will give more info out about it, I like the categories too, maybe some more tags would be nice for specifics but it's good. I also like you host in the EU too. I've seen some doing similar that were hosted in the AWS US region.

> Many people in EU wants to distance themselves wherever possible from US.

Yes, but only because the trust was broken by the US. For so long the EU was very happy to work with the US with trade, we both benefited.


Yeah. For me threatening to invade Greenland was a super red flag. I have not cared about US privacy & security laws. Even if people have talked about it and snowden exposed a lot, over a decade ago.

But by treating Greenland...

I see a real shift in the political environment from the EU [1]

Yes, of course. People's willingness to trade with a country goes down when the country threatens to invade.

It's the global economy. It's actually a good thing to promote peace between people with differences. But when one person or group decides they know better it messes everyone up. The idea was that the global economic interconnection would discourage it, now things are moving towards a no trust environment.

Europe is working towards being independent or at least not so heavy dependent, it's a good thing, but in the long term this idea of isolation for everyone isn't great.


There was a literal meme in spaceforce about this. Have we learnt nothing ?

Microslop will now troll people outside of the Earth, a great achievement for them.

So does this mean they now also have... 2 Copilots... ? Terrible joke.


Agree the numbers are not set in stone, but there is absolutely no denying that the Linux userbase has increased.

Proton's updates is a game changer, Windows 11's absolutely garbage buggy slop is frustrating more and more people. OS' like CachyOS and Bazzite etc making the transition far more approachable than ever.

The future is bright.


FYI. Your Claude.md is still public. If you intended it to be removed in a previous commit.

Interestingly you have in there :

> 2. No Chinese text in committed files (except i18n translations)

Why is that ?


Google And digital ocean are huge players here but is there a reason they would only have partial coverage?

TIM is listed as insecure yet my test is successful.

> Your ISP (Telecom Italia S.p.a., AS3269) implements BGP safely. It correctly drops invalid prefixes


It's exactly as you said. The dependency on old school legacy implementations that can't be turned off. To be fair to Microslop even they had the foresight to open source .net core and even try to bring some things to the open source community. Oracle actively turned into a patent troll.

> It seems like a lot of the blight of data centers is the energy to remove the heat.

Not really the only issue actually, the electricity bill would be astronomical for a household and also have you heard the noise from them ?

Issues with them being distributed range from Data protection to Insurance against damage, connectivity issues. Noble maybe, but it's widely unrealistic.


A half rack server in a basement isn’t going to consume a lot of power or generate that much noise. I have home servers and they are fine.

Data protection is an issue, but maybe this is something that SGX and family can provide eventually.

A scheme like this makes a lot of sense for distributed redundant backups.

The real problem is bandwidth. Most home users still don’t have decent symmetrical bandwidth. If you could solve this, then home servers could provide a handful of edge services to others in the area. I’m not sure where this makes sense versus local colo though.


I've had a half rack in my home for many years -- if it's half empty, half powered off, and half full of low powered stuff, then it's not going to consumer a lot of power. (e.g. 'only' a few hundred watts) But 20u of 1u virtualization servers filled up -- or a single Nvidia DGX -- would easily overwhelm a normal home electrical system. The kind of workloads in datacenters are not people homelabbing for fun, but people running production workloads.

> A half rack server in a basement isn’t going to consume a lot of power or generate that much noise. I have home servers and they are fine.

I have home servers, designed for home and they are not too bad, and I can turn them off when sleeping for example.. It's very different with a 20U server running and spinning non stop. Not many people will have the soundproofing to simply not hear it at night.

I don't know, I wouldn't see it working, but I'm just one.


A half rack in a rack of last decade is 8kw. A half rack of today's state of the art is 100kw.

A house older than 30 years typically has 100A 120V split phase power which can supply 25000 watts (you wouldn't want to ever fully load it...)

And an 8000 watt space heater will definitely be noisy, and produce too much heat for pretty much any house.


Part of the problem with current data centers is the density. To make the economics work, you need excessive density, which comes with power, noise, and water requirements.

Smaller servers distributed more widely don’t come with the same requirements. They can’t handle all use cases, but something like a Tinybox can run consumer LLM tasks just fine, a SAN with a small server can provide backup storage or storage for CDNs, etc. No need to turn the house into a full data center.

The key would be to build highly efficient small servers that can work as an appliance. It would need to be very easy to swap them out when one fails.

Again, I’m not sure this has much of a benefit except for providing geographical dispersion. Data centers would still be more cost effective. Maybe it would be helpful for providing local services in small remote areas like islands.


A Bitcoin mining node is the simplest possible way to turn compute into money. Very minimal storage and bandwidth requirements. And yet we still do not see those in houses.

Everything about doing productive computing tasks in houses is more complicated than that! At least it is more profitable, I think?

(I wonder what a rough profit per watt figure is for a datacenter. Very much "it depends" I'm sure.)


The density of data centers provides efficiency gains -- if you take the same workload from a high density nvidia DGX setup in a data center and instead distribute it to Tinyboxes running residentially, you'd have an overall net gain in energy use.

Yes, along with additional costs for managing and servicing a distributed set of devices and extra redundancy needed for higher expected downtime. But maybe the cost is worth it for some application.
