Yeah, I’m sure it’s for auditing and being able to respond to freedom of information requests etc

It could also be that Berliners are apparently collecting them 😂

I’m surprised that Tailscale can’t get through, cleaver routing is one of Tailsacle’s features. Though I do sometimes have connection issues with Tailscale when running DNS-over-HTTPS on my laptop.

Maybe he meant miner and this is all a big understanding ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Why is US based one of your requirements?

It’s not an ideal solution but you can save your Google takeouts to Dropbox. It might be worth signing up for Dropbox for one month and use Dropbox’s sync features. I haven’t used Dropbox in years but they used to have quite solid syncing.

Fun fact, DEDSEC is a type of memory used in Soviet era mainframes.

That’s 128GB RAM, the GPU has 24GB VRAM. Ollama has gotten pretty smart with resource allocation. Smaller models can fit soley on my VRAM but I can still run larger models on RAM.

I’ve installed Ollama on my Gaming Rig (RTX4090 with 128GB ram), M3 MacBook Pro, and M2 MacBook Air. I’m running Open WebUI on my server which can connect to multiple Ollama instances. Open WebUI has it’s own Ollama compatible API which I use for projects. I’ll only boot up my gaming rig if I need to use larger models, otherwise the M3 MacBook Pro can handle most tasks.

how would anyone know if a particular name is being unused?

I have a couple of nice domain hacks and I use them for email and random services I run so the root domain appeared to be abandoned. I received so many messages from people wanting to buy them I just started pointing them at other sites so they would stop hassling me. I’ve had one of these domains for nearly 20 years and it’s my main email address. I’m not selling because it would be a year long full time job just to update all my services 😅

I was just quoting COP because they said not to quote them

Vlan I think

That’s unlikely in a closed heat exchange system. Maybe some additional evaporation because the water is slightly warmer. But unless I’m missing something, it seems very misleading to suggest that a Bitcoin transaction uses 16 kilolitres because of evaporation. Napkin math, it would require about 10 megawatt/hours of energy to evaporate that much water (please correct me if I’m wrong). I’m not a Bitcoin fanboy, I just don’t like BS.

These data centers consume water for cooling systems

How does a data center consume water? Doesn’t every liter that enters as freshwater leave as slightly warmer freshwater? What am I missing here?

I haven’t had any issues running Tailscale and cloudflared on the same machines

Depends what you’re using it for

What TLD is it?

Whose engagement?

The engagement with my presentation for instance. I don’t care about tracking specific users.

It doesn’t change the user-facing URL like a shortener.

Where the user-facing URL points can easily be changed! For instance, changing the DNS record or changing where the reverse proxy points. I really don’t think you understand how the internet works under the hood.

Someone archiving the original content. It’s your fault for breaking the link at a whim.

I’m not going to optimize my content for lazy archivers. Check out web.archive.org for an example of how to properly archive, they update the URLs so links don’t break

Third party (you) tracking the user

I’m not tracking users, I’m tracking engagement. I’m not Zuckerberg

Hiding the true target from the user

99.99% of website use a reverse proxy, the target is nearly always hidden. I don’t think you understand how the internet works.

Destroying any attempt at content archival

Who would archive a shortened URL and not follow the link to its target? It’s not my fault if people don’t know how to archive my content.

URL shorteners are not inherently bad.

No sorry, I was just lucky and persistent
