From a worker point of view, nothing better than to shrug and say “not my hardware” and blame Amazon when your shit is down for two days, and take the opportunity to do some changes you’ve been putting off because they required scheduled downtime.

Nobody is switching businesses because the service they pay for it’s down for a day. If you run an individual service business (restaurant, florist) sure, but no one is seriously switching businesses over this. Reliable long term self hosting is expensive and your uptick of business for that one day won’t make up for it.

You’re clowning on it by insisting the name didn’t change? Okay…

I call it x, because that highlights that the dumbass Nazi killed a very valuable brand and changed it to something dumb. I don’t call people who call it x dumb, because that’s its new name. You’re not clowning on Muskrat, you’re clowning on a random person who simply referred to content on the website x (formerly Twitter, because the dumbass Nazi paid out his ass for it to turn it into the Nazi platform X).

See my first comment here if you’re confused about where I pointed them out.

…

I said companies change names, you asked for better examples and posited that it’s still Twitter because twitter.com forwards to x.com, I provided several examples of brands changing and keeping the old domain, you deflected and accused me of making the stupid domain argument in the first place, and completely ignored your answered request for better examples.

Weird.

Where have you pointed them out?

You told me to come up with a better example, I came up with several, and they still of course have the old domains.

If it’s not a coping mechanism, what is it? What is the end game? Enlighten me…

That’s the primary domain… Twitter.com forwards to it, you do have to go to x.com, even if your browser is making that process mostly transparent for you.

Do you disagree that it’s not called Twitter anymore? Do you disagree that calling people stupid for calling it x is stupid?

The guy heiled Hitler twice on live tv and people are still using his platform because “it’s still Twitter”… It’s dumb.

I guess you will call Nike Blue Ribbon Sports because they still have blueribbonsports.com, and certainly all the cool kids still say WWF because WWE is stupid, and I remember when everyone refused to call ebay anything but AuctionWeb, and don’t forget how everyone refused to accept that Research In Motion became BlackBerry. Almost forgot how nobody called Apple Music anything but Beats Music, and the SyFy channel will always be SciFi, and Paramount+ is universally rejected as a replacement for CBS All Access… It’s not hard to come up with examples, this happens all the time… lol

It’s a brand, and it changed. It’ll never be Twitter again, it’s the Nazi platform X now, and keeping ownership of the Twitter.com domain name isn’t exactly proof Twitter is still Twitter, so much has been changed about it beyond content moderation and Nazi propaganda distribution, from content access to monetization.

I personally avoid using the Nazi platform, but feel free to continue supporting it while “making fun” of its name change like that’s consequential at all.

Don’t engage with the ideas, downvote and run away. Your precious Twitter needs you to “stand up” to Elon by continuing to use his platform.

Once you start studying non capitalist propaganda, the idea of “intellectual property” becomes transparently harmful. Copyrights don’t protect ideas, they protect the wealth of rich people.

The stubbornness of calling it Twitter is really silly. Imagine insisting Edge is AcTuAlLy Internet Explorer, same energy.

It’s called x now, you access it by going to c.com. it’s stupid, but you need to face it and accept that Twitter and what Twitter used to be is gone.

Stop using the Nazi platform, period. This refusal to let go of Twitter and still giving Elon money and influence by continuing to use his platform while insisting you’re making some sort of statement by making fun of him and calling it Twitter is… Silly. What’s the end game?

Twitter is dead. Let it go.

I moved the majority of my 401k allocations to international markets and have stopped contributing more than the match minimum. I’ve lost on some serious short term gains but I’m not risking holding the bag with my kid’s future.

Okay, I’ll just install debian on my phone then, thanks for the advice.

Jesus!

1. In what way?
2. What do you suggest, live brain dude?

Jesus Christ, you think this will be the last attempt?

Yeah… And they are way more expensive than a VPN.

There’s a community plugin for self hosted live sync.

You’re right, sorry, that was a heavy brain fart. The data needs to be decrypted on cloudflare’s end before being proxied and send to your services.

Edit: removed inaccurate and potentially misleading information.

I use plex also because I have a lifetime sub. Totally agree.

Switch from VMS to docker. Use NAS to keep the media, and store your compose stacks somewhere backed up, then all you need is one host with docker/podman and a repeatable configuration driven deployment. Start adding apps with compose files, no new host setups, no significant resource needs.

Your setup isn’t modern enough and you still find convenience in paying for Netflix?

I don’t know what else to make of it…

Netflix has been enshityfying and on the capitalist death spiral for YEARS, cancel that shit and spend your money on a VPN and some hard drives…

That is how the signal protocol works, it’s end to end encrypted with the keys only known between the two ends.

The issue is that servers are needed to relay the connections (they only hold public keys) because your phone doesn’t have a static public IP that can reliably be communicated to. The servers are needed to communicate with people as they switch networks constantly throughout the day. And they can block traffic to the relay servers.

I sync with syncthing to an 8tb hard drive at work. Then backblaze that ish.
