I mean, it is shitty, but nobody forces anyone to participate. Half the people on Facebook noping the fuck out completely and deleteing their accounts would make everyone’s life easier and happier

Farewell o7

Same here. When idle, the apps basically consume nothing. If they are just a webserver that calls to some PHP script, it basically takes no RAM at all when idle, and some RAM when actually used.

Websites and phone apps are such an unoptimized pieces if garbage that they are the sole reason for high RAM requirements. Also lots of background bloatware.

The bottle looks like it contains security, but once you drink it, it is actually surveillance.

Thats what I meant, keep the tasks separated, and let both what they do better than the other half.

But speaking of efficiency, a human can do more useful tasks while AI is crunching numbers. But that is very subjective.

Sheesh, didn’t know. Lost forever then.

Pronounced “shitter”, its perfect

I say bring back good ol’ MS-DOS

I don’t think it caches the password. Rather a decryption key is derived from your password and is used to unlock the encrypted blob.

Well, then I didn’t hit the limit yet lol.

Air-gaping applications has become way harder when everyone introduced the cloud-based bullshit. You either lose half the features (due to not being online) or the whole application due to needing to upgrade the license/new OS where the old app doesn’t work, or other bullshit.

And, sadly, that’s where most people are. Convert half the application to cloud and then deprecate the features in offline mode. And yet it’s cheaper to just do these calculations offline.

I’ve extracted about 40 keys from my school, all W10, Education edition (equal to Enterprise), but work with any newer edition. Unlimited number of uses, no expiration. I’ve been sharing them left and right, and if one goes bad, I just let them switch to a new one.

I wonder, is there a way to ensure they work the way they advertise to besides being investigated by the police and observing the result? It has to be blatant in order to force the VPN service to comply if they can.

It’s a case od who do you believe more. The provider or the police.

RIP, wanted to implement that, but fuck it. Last time I needed to list versions of IBM MQ (contractor uses it, so I had to replicate it in local env) - and I fucking couldn’t. How can someone make such a dumb fucking website is beyond me.

Fair enough, but that’s YouTube, who can afford all of it. Of course, if you have tons of money, you don’t need to count pennies where counting them would just slow you down.

But take a competitor - how can a different service be viable if they lack money to have (virtually) infinite storage? Heavy moderation or monetization. Youtube kinda does the second one.

To reiterate, I am not saying you say things that are not correct.

Content delivery is not cheap, but not hard to do, either. I’d wager storage would be a bigger problem, because it just keeps rising. Sadly, YouTube is the one with money, and the monetization comes from people.

Well, YT is literally getting petabytes uploaded to it. Every single day. Thats 1000 terabytes, and thats 1000000 gigabytes.

I bet you haven’t even seen a petabyte of storage in one place (assuming you didn’t go to a data center yourself). How is a small company, or even fediverse, gonna handle that? Thats absolutely insane amount of data and, without moderation or curation, it is not feasible.

It’s a giant waste of space and resources, to be honest. Most videos are seen once, and the rest is mostly spam or bad quality content.
