Supreme Commander!

Check out the FaF community, keeping it going strong.

Yeah, the title calls this out… “Strategic Stamina”. Something meant countries just don’t have anymore

Except that the entire premise of this is to allow ai unfettered and unrestricted access to the creations of anyone without any repercussions. And allow AI companies to copy and recreate the works of others without attribution.

Solely to benefit those owners, at the cost of everyone else.

Also guaranteed that this will be one of those situations where IP laws will be removed for everyone except those who stand benefit from this.

So overall there is nothing actually good or winning about this.

You’re cool with it until you realize that they only want to do this to personally gain from it. And guaranteed will protect their own IP, and the IP of every large corporation.

It’s just that you yourself and small businesses will no longer have the benefit of intellectual property. Megacorps can steal whatever they want with impunity since they are the only true holders of intellectual property.

That sounds good on paper until you look at the long history of these people and how everything they do is entirely focused on their own benefit over that of others. They gain something to win here, guaranteed they aren’t going to let themselves lose on anything either.

It’s the same sort of situation as AI regulation. Sam Altman and openai want the United States to crack down and make it extremely difficult to develop new models. Why? So that they don’t have any competition. They already got their foot in the door they want to close the door for anyone else.

This is very likely the same sort of situation.

No they definitely teach math but unfortunately math is kind of useless when they don’t teach critical thinking.

Because then people blind themselves with their own bias and refuse to actually critically think about what they’re reading and realize that they misread it or misunderstood it.

Welcome to the majority of the internet my friend.

It really does suck

For real I love it when I’m not at work having fun and living life even if it’s just boring and I’m at home just working on some house projects and riding my bike

I’m only committed to winning in that way if winning means that I am getting a cut of the company profits.

I’m at my salary will reflect the profitability and growth of the company.

Otherwise I’m just another wage slave that you’re trying to abuse, and take away my work is rights

In this case I run pfSense instead of my ISP provided router. This allows me to have my own DNS resolver, which I can then resolve various domains to internal addresses.

All devices on my network point to my router for DNS allowing them to resolve internal addresses from all of these.

That’s a good call out.

There are a few things I do right now:

1. All of my public DNS entries for the certs point at cloudflare, not my IP.
2. My internal Network DNS resolver will resolve those domains to an internal address. I don’t rely on nat reflection.
3. I drop all connections to those domains in cloudflare with rules
4. In caddy, I drop all connections that come from a non-internal IP range for all internal services. Additionally I drop all connections from subnet that should not be allowed to access those services (network is segmented into VLANs)
5. I use tailscale to avoid having to have routes from the Internet into my internal services for when I’m not at home.
6. For externally accessible routes, I have entirely separate configurations that proxy access to them. And external DNS still points to cloudflare, which has very restrictive rules on allowable connections.

Hopefully this information helps someone else that’s also trying to do this.

I just:

1. Have my router setup with DNS for domains I want to direct locally, and point them to:
2. Have a reverse proxy that has auto- certbot behavior (caddy) connected to the cloud flair API. Anytime I add a new domain or subdomain for reverse proxine to a particular device on my network a valid certificate is automatically generated for me. They are also automatically renewed
3. Navigation I do within my local network to these domains gives me real certificates, my traffic never goes to the internet.

Are they not learning from the U.S.??

Your government can, and will, eventually turn against you. Under no circumstances should more power be given to it to compromise your privacy.

Data from now will be used against you or your children 30, 50, 80 years from now by another fascist government. Don’t let that happen at an even broader scale

Must be nice being able to fall asleep after being woken up 😔

Honestly this sort of thing applies to more and more products from Amazon every single week.

You shouldn’t buy any sort of skincare products medicine or supplements either.

You might not necessarily have to fork BitTorrent and instead if you have your own protocol for grouping and breaking the data into manageable chunks of a particular size and each one of those represents an actual full torrent. Then you won’t necessarily have to worry about completion levels on those torrents and you can rely on the protocol to do its thing.

Instead of trying to modify the protocol modify the process that you wish to use protocol with.

Let this be a lesson to write down any fake data you enter into accounts.

My keepass entries maintain all the fake form into for each account, makes it possible to move forward in instances just like this.

Oh for sure, that’s quite reasonable, though at some point you just move towards re-creating BitTorrent, which will be the actual effect you want.

You could build an appliance on top of the protocol that enables the distributed storage, that might actually be pretty reasonable 🤔

Ofc you will need your own protocols to break the data up into manageable parts, chunked in a same way, and make it capable of being removed from the network or at least made inaccessible for dmca claims. Things that is completely preventing the internet archive from being too much of a target from government entities.

The actual volume of data is kind of insane for distribution. You start running into many scale problems.

At ~70PB of storage, assumed redundant as well. And at ~$15/TB JUST for HDDs alone, you’re talking $2.1 million in just hard drives.

Installation, hardware, and facility costs will at least pentuple that number, if we’re being crazy conservative. Making the cost to stand up an archive $10.5 million?

During this process I found out that their finances are public and there is more reliable information out there:

• $2/GB for permanent storage, overall ( $2000/TB)

The cost to store the data and run the archive is a whopping $36mill/y at the moment.

Which if you consider what they do is incredibly cheap. And easily fundable by even a small municipality never mind a large Nation.

And funded by who?

It’s nice to say that it should be decentralized, but who is funding the development of that? Are you donating to IA?

Always has been.

Right beside the fact that their monetary model relies on user activity tracking. Yet they advertise privacy.

A browser that had a seemingly unlimited budget for advertising before it even had users is suspicious as hell.

I’ve never trusted brave.
