I really like self hosting too but Kubernetes is overkill in complexity. I use nomad. :)

So people post their private stuff to chat gpt? I always edit out the personal data.

Any duck duck go alternative that is better in privacy and security ?

I have always liked and used Duck duck go more than google but now i am considering if i should switch because of the shit they pulled with their app and yesterday when i clicked a link it took me directly to their newsletter subsciption page not even like a popup a proper page without any way except manually backing out . So is...

It's controversy for some people who are looking for perfect companies.

Others like me realize that they don't exist, and you should choose something, anything, other than Google that you feel happy with. Today.

I'm actually surprised by people who think others should just die instead of stealing, if that's the choice. Who wouldn't steal?

Guess we won't know since those people are dead.

I was about to say this. I never find any websites that doesnt work with Firefox so I'm genuinely curious.

I bet it's their ad blocker, or they have set their Firefox settings to the privacy level that says "this will break some web sites".

How? Unless you are joking.

I bought The Internet Con by Cory Doctorow since Amazon refused to publish it. Talks about how big tech is out of control. Nothing new but still a good book.

Yeah it's there now actually. Interesting...

Forcing people back to office, firing thousands of tech workers... Yeah I don't see why people don't love working for these guys. Nobody wants to work!

Let's all go to the office for the "collaboration" and team spirit. We are all a family here. :)

The Musk tells people to sleep on the factory floor, that's how much he cares about people.

No reason to stop... :)

If you are the kind of person that thinks collecting money is the reason we exists here, I guess it's hard to see a reason to stop. Lols.

You really should look into Nomad:
https://developer.hashicorp.com/nomad/docs/nomad-vs-kubernetes

I sat up a nomad cluster in my home lab just a few days ago, on top of instances in proxmox. Works really well and is simple to maintain and understand.

1984 ,
@1984@lemmy.today avatar

I thought it was quite simple but it depends on your experience of course. It's a single binary and a single config file, so I felt it was soo much simpler.

You can buy a good udemy course for 10 dollars too which really helps in the beginning.

1984 ,
@1984@lemmy.today avatar

Yeah the headline doesn't make sense. They pay less salaries, how is that a bad thing for profits... :)

They hired too many people when money was cheap. Now they get rid of some of them. It's still just like a few percent of the total work force.

People are probably not feeling better under communism. But yes, the state of the world is just super depressing. We have zero good world leaders, and no future to look forward to.

Better than Musk at this point.

But yeah I wouldn't give my money to any of these companies. I would buy an electric car from a company that actually knows how to make a reliable car, like Volvo.

Volvo Recharge is the best car I've been in.

@1984@lemmy.today avatar

I feel like of a group of dedicated Firefox engineers should fork the source code and start their own company.

If they would focus on adding really useful features at a rapid pace, people would be willing to pay for it.

Similiar to Kagi, if you make a really good software, you will get a group of dedicated people to support you.

Just a tech company without these super expensive CEOs that are not needed in a smaller company.

I see Apple in the name, so how private? Wide open.

Is decentralised federated social media over engineered?

Can't get this brain fart out of my head.

What would the simplest, FOSS, alternative look like and would it be worth it?

Quick thoughts:

  • FOSS platforms intended to be big single servers, but dedicated to ...
  • Shared/Single Sign On
  • Easy cross posting
  • Enabling and building universal Multi-platform clients.
  • Unlike email, supporting small servers

No duplication/federation/protocol required, just software.

@1984@lemmy.today avatar

Single sign in to the fediverse seems awful. Then we are logging in to it through American big tech servers. Forget anonymity and no tracking. Probably see ads on the login screen too.

But otherwise, sure. A single server is not always a bad idea. In practice, this is how Lemmy is too. Most people are on Lemmy.world, and they picked that server because they don't think decentralized is important.

I don't get it. Why try to control what others enjoy reading? I just scroll past the stuff I don't want to read.

I could be standing in the middle of the road, trying to prevent people doing what I don't like, but it won't work. :)

Coming from apple, this means nothing.

@1984@lemmy.today avatar

I'm pretty good actually. But you never see me in the media. :)

1984 ,
@1984@lemmy.today avatar

I'm not sure they do. Some people are bad and they know they are but they just don't agree that the definition of good matters.

A lot of this stuff is probably grounded in if you believe your actions has any spiritual meaning or not. For a lot of people, it seems that if there is no reward for being good, then why make the effort. Because for them, it's an effort. For others, it's just how they are.

1984 ,
@1984@lemmy.today avatar

Yes, that's what I meant. Good people are naturally good and don't think about rewards for being nice.

Which ones are cheap again?

@1984@lemmy.today avatar

Maybe Twitter first, we will see I guess. Worst manager ever.

1984 OP ,
@1984@lemmy.today avatar

But don't they already have that in the US? It seems that brands like Kia are not nearly as big in the US, while they have explosive growth here in Northern europe since they get top reviews.

1984 OP ,
@1984@lemmy.today avatar

My sky is not falling, I hope the stock price hits 108 again though so I can buy the turds stock and make bank. :)

1984 OP ,
@1984@lemmy.today avatar

Yeah they are at the top of most reviews here. They have a bad reputation from before but trying to clean up their act. The Kia EV6 is very highly rated, and Kia Sportage as well.

1984 OP ,
@1984@lemmy.today avatar

Yeah we will see. ')

1984 OP ,
@1984@lemmy.today avatar

I think Volvo Recharge models are better than Tesla anyway. :)

Much higher quality, much more quiet inside, and Volvo actually knows how to make a car.

1984 ,
@1984@lemmy.today avatar

Yup thats capitalism. Always need to make more money than previous year, or we have a depression.. Lol.

1984 ,
@1984@lemmy.today avatar

Well I was wondering what the cluster fuck of 2024 would be. We had covid, Russian war, massive inflation... Now what... High unemployment?

Amazing leadership, I applaude them.

@1984@lemmy.today avatar

He meant that we only have capitalist gaming studios and no communist ones.

But it's a flawed argument. We don't have to choose between extreme capitalism and communism. Countries can strike a balance here if they want to. But America is the most extreme capitalist country in the world.
