If he understood what he did it would be called sabotage.

Lucky for him, he doesn’t speak French.

It checks user agent to see if you are using something generic in a user agent switcher. It gives me fits sometimes if I leave it on chrome from Firefox too long.

It would go to… Uh…

HEY SOMEONE PUT A DEAD CAT ON THE TABLE!

Yes. A worldwide service provider should be able to achieve at least 4 9s of uptime. That’s 99.99% available, or about <52 minutes of downtime a year. That’s accomplished through best practices with redundancy, planned maintenance, and solid disaster recovery plans.

The ways to achieve a disaster of this magnitude include:

• No hot spares
• • A security event has locked all redundant servers and they are now rebuilding servers from backup.
• Lack of effective redundancy
• • A disaster has occurred at one data center and the load sharing is causing the servers to be unresponsive
• • • This is unlikely because there would be intermittent reports of success
• Poor patching management
• • Patches were sent to all servers without proper testing or rollback strategy

Yes, that one.

Good

In all fairness, meta should be assessed a fee of 250k per EACH pirated work.

This would amount to forfeiting all assets to doge.

Makes sense.

I get the prevailing idea, and I can understand the reasoning behind it. My question really was trying to ferret out whether it was US laws that were violated, Singaporean laws, the initial trade agreement, or something else.

Is some context missing? I’m trying to be dense, I’m just not sure how Deepseek broke American laws. I get that a license is required for countries to purchase these from the vendor. What is stopping a third party from collecting hardware through intermediaries and reselling them to a Chinese company outside of US borders?

$4 a dozen in Kentucky.

I was expecting them to be more expensive, but $85/drive isn’t bad.

Hardware wise, are the drives SATA? I couldn’t get an answer at a glance. If you are running them mirrored, you can back off on the cost.

The three drives may ramp up the fan on that. Check to see if there are additional fan headers and add some intake fans.

I totally complained about games needing dx12! I had to buy my current video card to meet that demand!

I have been planning on upgrading, but my budget is about $400. A RX 7600 looks like it might fit that budget.

Heck, we could even have self driving cars

There could be a user-centric back end that you could tie in to an account, if it matters. You would export your history to the backend and then log in to the data from the new frontend. That prevents a denial of service caused by numerous large data collections attempting to forward their data all at once.

That then causes me to wonder if data could be hosted separate from the services. That would mean that there would have to be individuals willing to provide that storage and bandwidth.

Have you ever seen the advertisements on the pirate bay? There is a market for everything.

Defederated from instances that federate with and support Turkish laws? I don’t like it, but it makes sense.

That makes me wonder if it is possible to federate with a and b, who are not federated, and not pass traffic between.

Suppose the fediverse becomes widely used. At some point, people will figure out how to profit from it. Although it is a decentralized platform, I can see particular instances becoming dominant and walling off other instances.

How can we prevent users from being stuck behind walled gardens like this? Is it possible to make accounts portable, so if a particular instance becomes unusable one could easily move between them?
