Using FTP (I assume you mean SFTP) will buy you some performance, as would other protocols that are faster and requiring less compute than SMB.

I predict whatever solution you use will only buy you time. Usage is bound to increase so you’ll still hit the performance limits for the hardware platform at some point, unless you can constrain the simultaneous connections. File sizes will impact scalability a lot as well.

You can’t guess this one. You need to test.

tl;dr - I suspect you can’t win.

This was always what he intended. Get people to quit instead of paying redundancy when he has to reduce the work force. Classic stuff done by many big orgs over the years. Make the place shit to work at and people quit for you.

You know, there was a much shorter range version of this that was predominantly used in offices and college computer rooms. It was called FrisbeeNet.

Damn it. Beat me to it. I’ll be first ext time.

Just from an environmental standpoint anything that reduces the expansion of AI farms is desirable.

Giving LLMs a free pass on abusing copyright and fair use rules is such a double standard. YouTubers who use a snippet of music get the earnings from their video stolen by rights trolls.

For me, the dream is every AI result coming with a citation list showing what sources were used.

Essentially we just did a copy / paste. There have been some tweaks but nothing huge so far.

Power is only part of it. Concrete production is a huge greenhouse gas source.

Roblox not working is annoying. I play a bunch of stupid Roblox games with my kids and switching back to Windows just for that is a pain.

I’m at the point of looking to pay for a good usenet service. I’ll definitely probably start looking next week.

I loved the original game and was about to buy the new one, but I did not expect it to be $30. I’ll wait for a sale.

He should remove the “post” button while he’s at it.

At best it is a technical forum for me. I have an account I’ve used since the days of the great digg migration. A lot of communities grew and became fun but most are now either dead or crap.

In the UK I think it depends how much you torrent, how often, and who your ISP is. I’m pretty sure the big main ISPs all have to be vigilant and tell their customers off for doing it. I use a small ISP, and I set my upload speed to 10Mbits and my download to half my max bandwidth. I don’t seed a library of stuff just whatever is being downloaded, then I stop. So yes. I’m a leech and have been for years. No VPN. However we only torrent when we can’t get something on a service we already pay for so not more than 3 times a week.

tl;dr - in the UK use a small ISP and stay below the radar and you’ll be fine.

This seems like bullshit to me. I’ve not seen anyone complaining their VPN isn’t working. And any business with staff using VPNs would not be happy if they managed to let that update get applied.

I’m on Pixel 7 and current Firefox, but it won’t install. It Just says “no app found to open xpi files”

Edit: fixed. Have to engage Dev options. Settings > About > tap the Firefox icon a few times. Then go back to settings and you’ll see the “install add-on from file” option.

Scarry read.

Not ONE government, but I’d accept something that lots of governments sign up to and share responsibility for. E.g. funding and making sure it is not giving any one country preferential treatment.

Indeed. Needs to be run by an independent non-profit organisation.

There needs to be a registry service that allows people to show they have a license for any digital media we purchase.

Signed up just to get my ID, and make sure no one else can have it.
