I’m sick and tired of the Capitalist religion and all their fanatic believers. The Western right-wing population are the most propagandized and harmful people on Earth.
Sounds more like Nato and the western elite want to get in to Iran’s information sphere, than to let Iranians access western internet and be ‘free’. Iranians are during external attacks against their nation, protected from the information war - just like borders protect from attacks. I’m not assisting the Western elite. I’m out…
I slept in my first computer - and worked as verbal RAM (first VRAM!) 28 hours a day !
“…and when you tell this to young people today, they won’t believe you !” - Monty Python.
I don’t know, but allow me a soft rant about the ‘distributed’ part;
Couldn’t selfhosters try to ‘organize’ and share these burdens ? Why pay for external cloud backup, or anything, when selfhosters can just help each other storing parts of others backup. Then everyone have an automatic back-up.
The tools seem to be there, but Its like there are all these super-skilled infra-structure selfhosters that know everything about self-hosting solutions, but they lack the self-organizing ability to sollve these typical - and a bit trivial, lets be honest - problems in a full p2p style. The result looks to be that all self-hostings solution above the threshold of an average individual selhoster, have to be done in the cloud, and everyone is ‘siloed’ in their own mini data center.
But, with existing tools, AI and a little imagination, it shouldn’t be too hard to ‘organize’ a little (though here) design a self-hosting p2p backup solution from existing tools. …or a solution for most of the other cloud services we still rely on…
But maybe its something else ? …to me, it just seems unnecessary for a high expertise self-hoster community that - when combined - are an absolute gargantuan cloud-service infrastructure …to still have such basic capacity issues (no offense meant to op, or anyone!), and still have so high reliance on cloud services. Seems odd to me…
Too bad, but we just have to live with open source being used for shitty purposes also.
Same processor as in the Orangepi 5b.
It should be possible to have a small portable touch-monitor as UX, and a small sbc/battery in a pocket. Or just stream a remote screen to the touch-monitor. Would prefer such a clunky solution to be honest.
disroot.org have all but backup, I think. You have to give a little for larger storage etc, but check them out, they have the right spirit.
I think it is unethical to pay (or demand payment) for things that can be copied freely. It’s a joke, insanity, a depraved legacy/necessity from the Blue Church.

Guix is a great and modern Operating system, where most things are thought through in the FLOSS (free libre open source software) spirit. but besides the installer, you will get your hands dirty in the terminal, with a little Scheme coding (configs are in Scheme (a Lisp like language (that uses an insane amount of ()'s (!!)))) - imagine that. Anyway, standard Guix doesn’t come with proprietary drivers, so you’ll have to add the non-guix repository (gitlab/github) for many wifi drivers. Not quite as easy as other Distros, but doable if you take small steps and copy&paste your first configurations.
I use Flatpak’s to enhance the software selection, installing from git/pypi and others is also possible.
ONE anecdotal downside is that I have experienced a few machines where the installer fails, and I have to do it manually. Doable, but it does require a little nerdyness to fix.
All Guix experts have apparently mind-melded with Emacs, and are nerdy compared to normal users ! The main focus is not on UX, but its a cool environment if you become interested in the inner workings of the system, or any of the nerd tool (LaTeX is a Classic, so you are almost there ;-).
If that all gets to hairy, you could try out https://www.pantherx.org/ that are a guix based distribution. I think they have enabled non-free firmware by default, and you get a nice® desktop experience out of the box, so there’s that. I haven’t tried it yet, tho.
Guix is both very advanced under the hood (where all the lovelyness happens), very stable, and very FLOSS, but for doing light work only, you might overshoot on raw Guix. PantherX is likely easier, but you’ll perhaps have to live with a few proprietary blobs (closed source drivers) in the kernel.
I’m tired, sorry for errors…
Functionality-wise, its a promising ‘personality’ training system. Could be my ‘guiding voice’ when my other agents run autonomously for longer time. Could also be used to create Agents imitating the thinking of some Hooman experts we want to influence some agent sub-system we have, or just creating a domain-expert AI.
However, it have the option to connect to a seemingly(?) closed-source ‘AI network’, where people can buy services, create NFT’s on personalities and similar market garbage, so I won’t be using that part - open or not.
Absolutely. I’m not as AI-phobic, and I absolutely need both an information gathering agent that searches, follows rss/channels, explores/researches topics, summarizes swats of daily events, and I need a filter between me and corporate internet. Let the AI discard obvious slop, Ads/other propaganda and general informational noise.
However, you should think about how to share search-results so all our agents don’t floor small services/commoners. We really need to get more information out of corporate silo’s, and into public search/knowledge systems. Perhaps you can integrate some distributed search/knowledge properties ? (now that you have AI to help build it)
There are several solutions:

Didn’t try any of them and haven’t looked for 6 months, so maybe something better have arrived…
Rarely anything. There can be some newer Bios/chip features that are not supported in the kernel yet, and a few older/quirky machines requires setting correct kernel parameters in the boot phase. But overall, you wouldn’t normally do it any different from win, and a laptop from 23 should be supported with all newer kernels.
I’m sure there are Bios settings that could be changed dependent on operating system. Perhaps some internal timing works best with this and that ram clock, or whatever, but it would be a hazzle to figure out, and there may not be any gain - other than the fun of exploring oc…
Those bad bad ruskies ! Not at all like our truthful and non-warmongering media space, and our always truthful universities, that are not at all for hire. tsk tsk…
This is called ‘Sinophobia’, and is caused by excessive anti-china propaganda. You can get help for that.
Better than nothing I guess, but why not just skip the EU middleman and buy directly from the Chinese manufacturer. De-Westernize your-self.
Damn you :-)
I think we’ve seen a few Scifi’s about such a project. Unless we get rid of rich c*nts, we are going there…
“Among those announced was Hind Kabawat, a Christian woman and activist who opposed Assad since the conflict began in March 2011, and who will serve as minister for social affairs and labour.”
Without knowing; She’s put there by 'Al Sharaa’s western backers. This is how we can see who’s in charge, and this guy and his US trained female minister, are both Western stooges.
(searching)
Oh my, who would’ve thought: “Hind Aboud Kabawat is a Syrian-Canadian politician, researcher, international counsel and activist who is currently serving as Minister of Social and Labour Affairs since 2025.” - So the usual US globalist stooge that are there to keep an eye on the new US puppet regime. This is one of the ways US regime-changes nations. They train a local puppet in US ways and ideology (lots of manipulation/money/status), they then re-introduce the stooge into their old country (that they now have nothing in common with) and puff them up via the Capitalist ‘free press’. That is how they place foreign US-propagandized politicians into foreign nations political apparatus and ideologically colonize them. See Georgia for an example of a similar female stooge of the US - now ousted. Usually they get a high international post somewhere in the ‘Empire of Lies’, as thanks for selling out their own nation to US Oligarchs.
If that’s not enough of an example, then check out the political history of any EU leader. It’s not by chance they agree with US wars around the world, they are all put there by US. Academics, news, politics, and all areas of a nations opinion/decision infrastructure is compromised.
Here they are just controlling events in the direction they have already decided for Syria and its people.
