Easily. Don’t get me wrong, I’m sure they could be useful in certain cases, especially once the technology matures. But it will be many years before then, and it’ll be an uphill battle for them as construction workers don’t take kindly to their jobs being threatened.

I’ll believe it when I see it, and gleefully watch it fuck up all over the place to where it’s thrown in a dumpster by a GC that doesn’t have time for its shit.

A lot of of them I’ve talked to are burying their heads in the sand while all of those “blows over.” They’re convinced everything is fake news anyway.

Wouldn’t be surprising at this point.

Indeed, I think the entire idea that needs focus is distributing away from a handful of large corps, although I don’t see streaming going in that direction largely due to IP rights for content, not necessarily bandwidth and resources. Many streaming platforms as I understand already have their content distributed through CDNs that are geographically dispersed as to ease network load, though they retain control over that hardware. I’m proposing providing more options for your average joe website than on something controlled by the likes of Amazon and Microsoft.

Lineage as well, mine reboots at 4am every day

Valid points. Also too, the cost associated with a business class data plan that actually allows hosting. If you think about it, it really is an arbitrary restriction put in place by ISPs to goad those who want to leverage the internet’s potential into more expensive plans.

I honestly think the drivers model has some merit to it, and it’d be interesting to see federated data centers. I dunno how well it would work out, but it would be interesting.

Bullshit, they’re building a database to track all of us, and then some janky “AI” program will determine who’s worthy of staying alive.

"Open"AI

They’re just pissy that it outperforms their proprietary pieces of shit, thus the psyop campaign.

Realistically, more people need to self-host, or at the very least we need more mon-and-pop style datacenters. The foundational protocols of the Internet inherently make the web decentralized, but most would rather offload hardware costs and, more importantly, security, to those more knowledgeable. Not that I blame them, as running one’s own hardware is extremely time intensive, nevermind power and equipment costs, but it’s no wonder that conglomerates have stepped up to fill that role (nevermind economies of scale). Yet, this is how we’ve fallen into the situation we are in now.

Iirc Jellyfin isn’t exactly intended to be operated outside of your home network like Plex is. There are workarounds of course, but the onus is on the user to secure it.

Or in the near presence of the FCC or similar agency

Jeez, it’s almost just straight not worth it to fly these days once you factor everything in. Luckily I haven’t had the need in a few years, but damn.

It seems like it is a private company contracted by DHS to roll this out, and that is where I have an issue. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t think biometrics is the best route, but I absolutely do not trust a 3rd party random corp to have and securely store all of my sensitive biometrics, not do I trust them to not sell it for an additional revenue stream. Same reason why that company Clear was kinda bullshit, and how it was cost effective to have agents “selling” you on the service at the airport.

“Does this shirt make me look gay?”

“How about now?”

I wonder how effective at 308 round is to a drone, even just putting a sizable hole in the wing. And that’s assuming it’s causing at an altitude that’s within range.

They all embody glory and honor, though one is above the rest.
