At this point I would rather use a Mac than windows I suppose. They are actually rather secure and are Unix which is nice.

But in general, if you don’t care about moral, being caught in an actively hostile eco system, have enough money, and being the little bitch of bog tech, Apple is quite nice?

I mean tbh what is a valid Alternative? Android, same big tech dependency, just different company. Samsung wannabe apple but in shit and more evil. Windows, same big tech, just incompetent company and evil on top.

So apple seems at least to be quite okish if you don’t have the skill to degoogle your phone and use Linux?

In my bubble, apple has very little bad press about security, had few bugs until maybe 2 years ago, then it got worse I think? And the device connectivity is pretty solid. If you have enough money, their devices are pretty high quality, from a manufacturing standpoint. And they slowly allow repairs on their devices again

Respekt an die Energie, die du da rein steckst. Ich finde schwierig guten Rat zu geben, und wär an deiner stelle auch sehr überfordert. Ich konnte grade nicht ganz aus dem Kontext lesen ob die betroffene Person schon in psychologist h therapeutischer Behandlung ist, das wäre mein Rat an der stelle. Auch für dich vielleicht interessant damit umgehen zu lernen falls es dich belastet. Ein Vorschlag wäre euch zusammen hin zu setzen und therapeutenlisten durch zu gehen und mal dir besten 10 zu kontaktieren. Eine kurze mail reicht oft, vielleicht mit kurzer Beschreibung der situation. Die Krankenkasse biete auch eine Ärzte Suche, um einen möglichst schnellen termin zu finden. Die meisten uni klinken zur Psychologie haben auch sehr spontane Beratungstermine wo oft noch auszubildende Therapeuten sind, das könnte vielleicht für dich oder zur erstem Beratung spannend sein.

Konkreten Rat für die Situation kann ich nicht geben. Es klingt als hätte sie Angst vor den folgen der Trennung und Anzeige und Verlustangst. Vielleicht hilft es für 1-2 Tage räumlichen Abstand zu haben um was anderes zu sehen und nicht im normalen Trott zu stecken?

Ich Wünsche dir viel kraft und Erfolg. Ich finde es sehr gut, dass du so klar deine grenze erkannt und kommuniziert hast

I understand what you are saying but I don’t think trippe a games let AI write the story. I think its like software engineering, where the human still thinks about and decides about the architecture but let’s the AI produce the actual code. I feel like its a pretty difficult dilemma. Idk if I would care that an npc dialogue is generated or written. As long as the story and the world is handcrafted and these details as a npc you might not even interact with match that storry I think I don’t really care? I think its simpler to picture with game assets: I don’t care if a sprite for a puff of smoke is AI generated. I would care though if the characters are generated and not hand painted/textured

EU states have handed over their own citizens to the US, if these people have hurt us citizens enough. There is a nice episode of the darknet diaries that just came out

I read up about it a while back, so anyone pleas correct me. It works like this I think: An audio sample is recorded, chunked into overlapping windows, which are converted into a spectagram (the black, blue, yellow, red image of frequency vs time). Idk at which point what is send to the server but to me it would make sense to keep the data amount low by sending after the next step: From the spectagram, the algorithm searches for high spots or notable “pixels” in the spectagram. It then notes the relative position between many spots, not only the next but lets say 10 per spot (propably more, as just a pair of 2 numbers are super cheap and small). We then hash these relative vectors. So we now have a list of frequency vs time vectors hashed in unique strings of our recorded audio windows. In the database we have all songs send through the same algorithm and stored. We then just compare our hashes from the recording to the database and find the song with the most matches.

Its pretty smart and I suppose there are additional filters to speed up the process and make it more reliable. Its just so simple, I love it

Haha i get that. I feel like proxmox backup server is really great together with proxmox though. And idk but I feel like there is not too much to do wrong? Correct me if you think differently, but we use a mirrored hdd zfs pool on pbs and pve, so we have 4 copies plus snapshots ob the backup server. So harddrive failure is not really a problem. And deleting or corrupting files or databases manually on accident can happen, but they can be revived sometimes or restored from last nights backup And yes, the backup server could die, but the drives should be fine still. And yes, it can burn down but then you have a mirrored drive on the home lab. I think its rather difficult to delete stuff on the bps on accident. I would just not delete anything manually. If its too full, either increase the pruning job for old snapshots or just put in a mother pair of drives.

Maybe I am cheap but its also fun I think. Also I feel like my data is actually mine now?

To throw in yet another opinion that does not help you right now: My friend has a backup server at his place and I have our home lab at my place.

Just a rough calculation: 2 8tb drives for a mirror is 150€ each (during a normal market, and when we bought it), so 300 combined. That is 60€per year if we assume they die quickly after 5years.

With a very light old desktop pc that is power efficient we can reach 25w

That is: 25w/1000 (for kW) * 24h * 365d * 0.35€/kW = 78€ per year of energy.

That is combined 138€/year.

The hetzner storage box is 24€/Month @ 10tb

So that is 288€/year.

So I would argue that its even cheaper to pay a friend to put a small old pc at their place and paying them 40ct /kwh is still cheaper than the clouds? Assuming you can find hdds at a reasonable price. But I could find cheap used offers with a runtime of 3y for 100€.

If you only need 1tb, its not worth it to run your own storage, as the power stays roughly the same:

Hetzner: 3,8€/1tb * 12m = 46.6€ So allone the power of running the backup server is not worth it financially.

For the 5tb plan: 12€*12m=144€ so that is the break even point I assume, as drives don’t scale too mich with price?

Was lauft man do bei gedankenfabrik? Ich hab jetzt nur gesehen auf den ersten Blick, dass die ki Krempel und consulting anbietet?

Da musst du bitte etwas elaborieren. Ist ein Handschuh typologisch gesehen nicht eher eine Ebene statt einer Sphäre? Bzw ich versteh es schon, wenn man die Materialstärke mit einbezieht und die Strecken im Material möglichst minimiert, dass ein Handschuh dann eine Kugel ist.

Aber bei deiner definition eines Loches bin ich voll dabei, sofern wir das object aus mathematisch typologischer Sicht betrachten.

Im umgangssprachlichen würde ich jedoch den Hals einer Flasche auch als Loch bezeichnen, einfach durch Mangel eines besseren und etablierteren Begriffs, freue mich aber stark über alternative Vorschläge.
