Respect to anyone still managing a library of mp3s

To all the friends I never met:

I am running a homeserver with all my music, videos, books, articles, source, etc. here is how you do it↓

  • get a old desktop computer
  • install gnu/linux on it
  • connect it to your router through ethernet
  • install nextcloud
  • install samba, create a smb partition on your new server
  • mount the drive into your regular computer, phone, laptop, tv. smart-stereo.
  • enjoy all your music from anywhere without cluttering your devices with music, movies or books, or articles, or , or, or
  • I usually just use vlc to access any media on my smb share :D just works
  • get the nextcloud-client for phone and your other devices and access your smb share that way if you like and upload fotos, video or music there. :D

Thank me later (also if you use ALL linux devices you can skip the smb part and just use netdriv

Most of the world's biggest advertisers have stopped buying ads on Elon Musk's X, exclusive new data shows

Lmao Elon 😂

BTW all his escapades are the biggest unpaid marketing campaign in recent history. He may not be doing it deliberately but clearly it's working, media, and people continue to talk about Musk. This free puiblicity makes his businesses more likely to succeed as people are aware of every step he takes including new businesses.

After careful consideration I revise my statement: Elon is the smartest person in the world as he has the most money. Just like McDonald's has the best food as they've got the most sales.

Kick tankies out of 196

Reply in thread

I'm an anarchist, we don't call anybody tankies. Tankies is a term coming from the UK i think the 80s some eastern european nation was taken over by the USSR and some Brittish came out in support of it. So they were called tankies.

These political fighting words need to be layed to rest. Communists hate me as much as anybody else but I'd rather engage on the idea level instead of ad hominem attacks and name calling.

I suspect this whole tankie thing might be a coordinated propaganda campaign geared at discrediting communists and at the same time creating tension between them and other leftits. I suspect this as this whole infighting over small differences doesn't lead to a victory for the left but effectively disables and neutralizes it.

Unix < GNULinux < GNUHurd

Reply in thread

https://www.gnu.org/software/hurd/hurd/what_is_the_gnu_hurd.html

The Hurd is the GNU project's replacement for UNIX, a popular operating system kernel.

The Hurd is firstly a collection of protocols formalizing how different components may interact. The protocols are designed to reduce the mutual trust requirements of the actors thereby permitting a more extensible system. These include interface definitions to manipulate files and directories and to resolve path names. This allows any process to implement a file system. The only requirement is that it have access to its backing store and that the principal that started it own the file system node to which it connects.

The Hurd is also a set of servers that implement these protocols. They include file systems, network protocols and authentication. The servers run on top of the Mach microkernel and use Mach's IPC mechanism to transfer information.

The Hurd provides a compatibility layer such that compiling higher level programs is essentially transparent; that is, by means of the glibc, it provides the same standard interfaces known from other UNIX-like systems. Thus, for a typical user, the Hurd is intended to silently work in the background providing the services and infrastructure which the microkernel itself has no business implementing, but that are required for higher level programs and libraries to operate.

Don't be a no-poster

Maybe we could use AI to generate new and original content?

Since that might produce too much content for anybody to read, upvote and engage with, we could cover the user side with AI bots as well.

If we do this right we could completely automate social media. Maybe one day you won't even have to look at your phone because an army of bots is doing it for you.
