Qkall's favorite songs of 2025
I realize I just posted this on another instance... but that one is going away soon... so for posterity.
Some people are interested in this... and, genuinely, thank you for asking. I try to post my (very few niche ass and no one cares) videos with artists I wish more folks paid attention to and it seems that's a good thing and I get into a lot of conversations about it. But, anyway, here's this years list. I tried adding two songs per month as a 'this is me now' this month type of thing. I did try to keep 'early album and late album' songs in their place... but, whatever. Enjoy? What did you like or hate the most?
I did leave the more 'epic' songs towards the end... mostly because they're long and I do not expect humans to listen to it all. So, if you made it that far... I got that dank for you.

Wow! This is a great example of the power of virtual platforms, #emulators, and also disciplined state control in a programming language. The fact that you can run this inside a #pdf is also instructive — yet another attack vector.
Also, I’ll bet there are many packages out there to do cross-compilation from #RISC-V to other machines. Remind me never to use Adobe Acrobat.

Crazy impressive and absolutely mind boggling though. 😅
When I last worked with laser printers, there was a PostScript program that would run Doom - about 15 yrs ago. We never had the time to actually test it, but had to do some extra work to disable the ability to do arbitrary IO.
That said, amazing job and I'm wondering if I should replace my PC with a good printer!
This reminds me of the guy who stuck an LLM inside a font. Actually, there is more than one guy who has done this.

(this explains how he uses the LLM to rewrite your text using synonyms so as to achieve pleasing justified text without use of hyphenation).
fuglede.github.io/llama.ttf/
(this does more conventional predictive text stuff as you type.
I'm not sure what happens when you typeset your PDF-containing-Linux in a typeface-containing-an-LLM, but I'm pretty sure I don't want to be there when it happens.

@jgeorge @bsdphk Blame Adobe for adding JavaScript to PDF, back in the days when everyone wanted to slather world wide web special sauce on their products—like LLMs and "artificial intelligence" today or "crypto/blockchain" a decade ago.

Even BEFORE this kind of capability came to light, I remember someone commenting, "Adobe has this hugely profitable business group dedicated to making computers emulate all of the worst usability traits of paper."
@jgeorge
One of the events in computing that I have yet to see credibly researched and documented is what I call "The deluge":
How much did "The IT industry" grow during the 1990'ies in terms of persons, and what skills did they come in with ?
My guess is a factor of more than 1000, (ie: 100000+%) and that none of those people (-epsilon) had any professional IT experience, and knew nothing about the skill&craft of IT.
(Add the "Make Money Fast" incentive and...)
@bsdphk @jgeorge You can almost certainly chart it by graphing cumulative sales of personal computers, minus machines retired as broken/obsolete, which lags by a time period … and it was undergoing exponential growth throughout this period, so the retired cohort lagged new installs by a huge distance.
Computer use in business implies support personnel numbers (IIRC in the 90s it was 1 PC tech support per 40 installed base).
Since 2007 include smartphones/tablets as well. Different ratio, OFC.
That's pretty much how I arrived at "a factor 1000".
But having somebody who know what they're doing, do the math with actual data would be better 😀
now, can you run doom on that Linux system?
Is this good?

@arrrg Because they already ran DOOM on it. First one runs DOOM, then runs a tiny Linux or NetBSD distribution. Then after that, a cleverly recursive thing, in this case a fully featured PDF rendering engine, so that one can render a Xzibit meme in the nested engine. "Yo dawg, I heard you like PDFs..."
Next, a #kubernetes cluster in a PDF file...

Bookshop.org launches Kindle alternative, sends e-book sales to local bookstores
Bookshop.org launched a new platform that allows independent bookstores to sell e-books to readers. Here's a look inside., USA TODAY (USA TODAY)
I have mix feelings about this, as while there are some DRM-free books, most are locked to the application.
Meaning: you can't give your book to someone after you're done and if the app stops working in the future, your book won't be available.
I'll rather have them call it renting than buying.

There are alternatives without DRM or at least with DRM that's easy to strip.

Basically anything that sells ePub, so Kobo.com, ebooks.com (this one has a drm free category), etc. DRM is decided by the publisher not the store so not everything will be available without protection.
If the book you want has DRM there's a Calibre plugin that is usually able to remove it.
It's only an alternative if you can read said e-book on an actual e-reader with e-ink. A smartphone is not an e-reader.

I am currently awaiting the arrival of my BOOX Note, which is a kind of Kindle alternative.
Damn is that expensive though. But I think Amazon sells at a discount to make money on the bookstore.
Kobo is also a kindle alternative, and syncs books from your local library!

Reddit CEO Says Paywalls Are Coming Soon
Reddit, a platform founded in part on the premise of openly and widely sharing information, is ready to put up some paywalls. In a video Ask Me Anything (AMA) session hosted by CEO Steve Huffman following the company’s quarterly earnings report (which went poorly), the founder and exec said Reddit is actively testing ways to make some content require payment to access and plans to roll out a “paid subreddit” feature later this year.

Reddit might have some room to eat into Patreon’s model, allowing creators to put certain content behind paywalls. Lots of creators have their own subreddits already meant to facilitate community conversation in a way that comments on Patreon posts don’t totally allow for. So perhaps there’s some room for Reddit to sneak into that space.
That might actually work.

My first thought is their MO that they own whatever's uploaded.
No, they just want to control the distribution. If they do, they can insert their ads and monetize directly.
And it's not just Patreon, it's onlyfans too. We all know reddit has plenty of porn, and by that I mean onlyfans spammers. So, since reddit already has the content creators and the content consumer userbase, why not cut out the middleman and monetize it themselves?
like this
fistac0rpse likes this.
I believe they've already updated their TOS that they own whatever's uploaded. They want to train AI and own search results and all that. That will conflict with being like onlyfans where people want legal control of their content.
I recall their TOS having a clause like that years and years ago. And usually it's not a problem for the users or the creators, since everyone gets a cut.
I don't think the creators mind too much. Even if reddit takes a cut, the net profit is still much greater due to the size of the audience.
Seriously? It's a problem if you want LEGAL ownership over your content.
Most creators are willing to let that go to get access to the audience. It's not an exclusive license.
Have you ever met creators? No most aren't so happy to give up their LEGAL ownership. Plus, that's why I said if you want. This is especially true for certain sexual content. And, exclusive or not is an entirely different concept than ownership. You just want to be a stick in the mud, I'm out of this conversation.

I am a content creator, so yes I'm familiar with how these things work.
But why would they do this through Reddit and not Patreon?
You can already make private subreddits.
Probably because Reddit is massive.
That’s why porn (which Reddit calls „NSFW content” not to scare advertisers) is not accessible over API at all. We should refer to Reddit as „that porn website” now because that’s what they’re going to make money on.
I knew it was time to jump ship and go somewhere else. This is a much better place.
Welcome aboard! If you still have a reddit account, I'd encourage you to spread the love to other frustrated redditors - best way to do that that I'm aware of it to edit as much of your comment history as possibly to replace it with a how-to on getting started with the fediverse. Idk if it's smoother now, but it was kinda overwhelming when I bounced over here a couple years ago.

Isn't it great? I would suggest switching to all with hot, top 6 hours and scaled to get the best experience here. Active is the default, and it seems the least active ironically. I have it set as hot in my settings. When you get to know more communities (subreddits), your subscribed will be nice too.
It is indeed, a refreshing change of scenery.
Please just do it already.
I bet they figure paywalled areas will produce more consistent, high quality comments for selling to LLMs too.
It’s probally partly a data farming move.
It's probably the other way around. I can see him saying that paywalled subreddits won't have their data mined for LLMs so if you want to keep your content out of that mill, you better pay up.
This entry was edited (Sunday, February 16, 2025, 4:29 AM)
Farm data, or sell the solution to a problem they participate in creating.
I’d have to be delusional to believe that they won’t sell that data to LLMs despite what they may claim.
They'll probably paywall NSFW subreddit because they can't monetize those with ad revenue, and I doubt they're selling that content for LLMs anyway.
Oh shit, my porn!
I, in other news, am not!
Fuck /u/spez
If I know nothing else in this world I know this: Reddit will never get a penny from me.
New argument is coming soon:
"Lemmy - FREE alternative to Reddit"
surely the people posting in the paid communities will get some kind of remuneration for their posts, right? they wouldn’t just try to sell other people’s stuff without giving them anything in return? surely they don’t think that little of their userbase.
God I fucking hope this will be their digg moment.... however I know this is strictly geared towards OF creators

It always amazes me how well Cage's classics age, particularly his album 'Hell's Winter'... while this isn't from that album, this was a bit before.

@George Takei :verified: 🏳️🌈🖖🏽 But SOME will get through, and thats why he's trying everything
They never expected anything else from the lower courts. The whole goal is to get these things in front of what they perceive is a receptive SCOTUS.
They'll walk a knife edge line of noncompliance until they get there, in order to keep the real threat of not complying with SCOTUS as a possibility because that will likely influence how hard that court pushes back. SCOTUS will try to find a way to rule how it wants but in a way that doesn't invite such a confrontation.
I'm fine with them appealing, at least they're taking to the courts to settle these things and not just ignoring judicial orders.
It's not staying this way for long. Either the courts will fold, or they'll start disregarding the courts.
And no, I don't know what to do about it either.

#Bookface, a custom #Friendica UI, just got a big update!
This vastly improves the experience on #Friendica and is a big time improvement for web mobile users.
If you’re running a Friendica server, or are thinking of running one, I highly recommend using Bookface as the default UI. A look at this screenshot will show you exactly why.
Further release notes can be found here:
friendica.world/display/84b6ef…
BOOKFACE BIG UPDATE!
First of all thank you for all the interest in this “Frio” theme scheme. I was concerned that people might have so much animosity toward Meta that a scheme to make Friendica look more like Facebook would be ill received. I originally made “Bookface” as a user content script just so I would feel more “at home” on Friendica. And I’m still using it that way myself because the instance I’m on does not offer this scheme as an option yet.
Version 1.3 represents a massive rewrite with the introduction of new features, like support for Profile Cover Photos and an “Auto” version that can detect if your operating system is set to Light Mode or Dark Mode and automatically apply the correct mode to Friendica, plus a completely New Mobile View for phones and tablets that aims to make it look and function a lot more like an mobile app. The user content stylesheets for client-side use have also been updated with the same changes, if that’s how you use Bookface. I have incorporated a ton of your feedback into this update, which I thank you for! There are also over 30 tweaks and fixes in this update.
While this is still a work-in-progress (but what on the web isn’t?) Bookface is already being used in production on some Friendica instances so I’d say it’s generally probably safe to use, but there could be issues I haven't anticipated, particularly with whatever add-ons are enabled on any given server.
Keep in mind “Bookface” is intended for recent browsers. By which I mean those that were released in the last year or two. Because I want to leverage some of the more advanced things CSS can now do. But if you have a mobile device that’s stuck running an old browser I’ve added some fallbacks so it’s still at least usable, but I’ve intentionally ignored any browser that nobody should really be using anymore for anything (like Internet Explorer). Presumably if you choose to roll with retro gear you probably don’t care about making Friendica look modern anyway.
I’ll do more detailed posts about each of these new features, but here’s an overview:
BETTER MOBILE MODE!
You may have noticed there isn’t an “official” Friendica mobile app and the webapp feels pretty clunky and outdated. You could, of course, use Relatica or Raccoon for an actual native mobile app experience, but I’ve notice a lot of people (myself included) are trying to use the webapp. And it needs improvement.
I redesigned the mobile view to look and function a lot more like people expect a mobile app to work these days. One specific thing that was asked for was a way to get the toolbars out of the way in landscape mode, particularly on phones with small screens. The mobile landscape view now hides the toolbars and presents you with a limited set of buttons down the left and right sides of the screen if, in landscape orientation, the viewport is less than 400 pixels high. That’s going to be the majority of phones on the market today. Need more controls? Just rotate your phone back to portrait.
I’ve extensively tested this new UI on more than a half a dozen actual mobile devices, including an iPhone 5s, iPhone 8, two different recent Samsung phones, and older iPad Mini, two Android tablets, and two old Android phones.
EDIT: Post with more details about the new Mobile UI
AUTO VERSION!
More than one of you specifically asked for a version that would automatically switch between Light or Dark depending on which mode you have set on your device. It was tricky to implement given all the colors that are set server-side in PHP variables, but I came up with a pure-CSS way of doing it. It doesn’t even need to set a browser cookie. Enjoy going over to the Dark Side. Or Light Side. Whichever.
Unfortunately there is no auto version of the user content stylesheets for the client-side. The client-side styles require the underlying “Frio” theme be set to Light, Dark, Black, or Custom (which is based on Light). There is no way for a client-side stylesheet to automatically switch the server-side theme scheme, so there will never be an auto version of the user stylesheets.
LOCALIZATION & CUSTOMIZATION
Under the Settings > Display > Theme Customization options you could previously only set the Accent Colors. There was a "Link Color" box below that but it didn't do anything. Well, now it does. You can set almost any color you please ("almost" because it does error-catching to make sure you don't set it to the same color as the background).
I’ve moved as much as possible into CSS variables at the top of the stylesheets, so modifying Bookface to your liking is easier than ever. Just change the variable in that one place and everything else follows suit.
One thing in particular I’ve noticed from people’s screenshots is the engagement counts on Action Buttons being changed to match the button color or made black, etc., to make them less distracting. Personally I like them being in my Accent Color so I can quickly see which posts/comments are getting engagement and check them out. But I can also understand that all those colored “dots” could be distracting while scrolling. So I added CSS variables for “count-color” and "count-bg" that let you change the engagement count tex and background color to whatever you want.
But I took it beyond just the colors. Bookface sets a bunch of labels as pseudo-elements, and they are in English because that’s the only language I know. I saw a comment the other day from a German user on a German server that has implemented Bookface note that the labels were in English and thought they should be localized. Well, yes, they *should* and now I made it super easy for server admins to do that!
Just change the CSS variables for the labels at the top of the stylesheets to your language!
Bookface Action Button labels localized (if the translation is laughably wrong blame Google Translate, I don't know any other languages)COVER PHOTOS!
Every other social media platform seems to have a “Cover Photo/Header Picture” for your profile page. But not Friendica. 🙁 Until now! You can add images to your profile description and/or custom profile fields. You can also put things inside “class” containers. So I coded Bookface to detect a class container named “coverphoto” and treat whatever image(s) are in it as your big, bold cover picture.
You can also decide, depending on where you place it, whether it’s only visible on your actual “Profile” page or if it’s visible on all your profile pages, or if you want to show different cover photos on your profile and the other profile pages. If you’re really indecisive you can place up to 4 images in the container and Bookface will turn them into a striped collage.
As for what that looks like to other people who aren’t using Bookface? Well, they still see a thumbnail of your image(s) in your profile, it just won’t look really cool to them.
EDIT: Post with more details about Cover Photos
PRETTY TAGS!
What is social media without hashtags right? And it’s cool that in the Fediverse you can follow a hashtag like you follow a person. But Friendica’s tags look...kinda bad. A bit distracting. Too small. Too hard to read. And some people really go wild with a wall of tags in their posts. I’m apparently not the only one who thinks they could use some improvements. There are discussions about this in Friendica’s GitHub issues going back several years.
First of all, I don’t think we need the little lightning bolt or person icons on them anymore. It’s 2025, people know what a tag and a mention are. I also replaced the “(x)” on categories with an “X” icon. Next I made the tags the same size they are on Mastodon, which is also makes much better touch-targets on mobile devices. To make them less distracting I gave them an “open” design, and recoded them so only the tag you are hovering/focused on switches to a “filled” design. For consistency I kept similar colors to the existing “Frio” tags, but adjusted them for better contrast against either the Light or Dark mode versions.
The image shows how the tags appear in both Light and Dark modes and against the different background colors for posts and comments. The first row for each background color is how they normally appear, the second is the rollover effect when you hover on them.
GO GET IT!

@avuko This is why I'm on a permanent #SpendingStrike in which, as far as possible, I avoid, redirect or postpone any spending that goes to the corporations that are killing us all.
I've also seen a call for a #BuyNothingDay on Feb 28. There's room for all sorts of different plans.
Things like this offer individual side benefits (e.g. delicious homegrown food, or money spent on a beautiful piece of local art instead of on an over-engineered appliance) that exist independently of the core objective.

ECONOMIC BLACKOUT ON FEBRUARY 28, 2025
TAKE PART & SHARE THE NEWS
If you haven't heard, there will be an economic blackout Febuary 28th, nationwide. This means don't buy ANYTHING unless it's from a small business: No gas, no fast food, and definitely nothing from places like Target, Walmart, or Amazon. Get the word out!
We want THEM to see that WE have the power. We will start with 1 day, then 3, then specific companies until our message is heard.
Please spread the word!

@Remittancegirl keep in mind, for a lot of people, not going to work even one day means losing their job and not being able to pay rent or feed their families. Events like this are fine, but shaming people who can't risk everything for it is not helpful.
@Remittancegirl Correct. If it's truly impossible, of course they shouldn't. But when the entire democracy and country is at stake, one would think most people would do ANYthing to save their own necks. I don't understand the resistance/reluctance either. @wjd @willbunch
@wjd @Remittancegirl Sigh. No. And you failed to read my other replies.
I shamed nobody. But you are right now.
Geez.
You clearly don't follow me or read my posts.
I followed up by saying, if it's impossible to miss a day, then of course, but most can miss a day. This is our entire existence/democracy we're talking about here. Sadly, we need to take risks we'd never take. & clearly I'm not asking anyone who can't to do f'ing anything. BACK OFF.

Y'all didn't need to jump down their - @Edelruth - throat for making a comment!

@su_liam Because people can't afford to miss work that long, I'm guessing. It wouldn't be effective. @AbiNormal @Remittancegirl @willbunch
@AbiNormal @Remittancegirl It doesn’t have to end on Saturday. Keep it up through Monday. Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, as long as you can. How long until the economy tanks? Repeat whenever possible.

@stib Americans do not say, "Let's have our election on a Tuesday." Most would rather there be a holiday or a weekend vote.
This was a law passed ages ago for reasons that made sense then. Not now.

As for Saturday, guessing they thought it would be a safer choice for the first effort at a general strike. Fewer people w/ jobs at risk. I see nothing wrong with that.

The Ides of March, American Style. I’m 💯 in.
This may sound selfish but I’m a teacher (there are a lot of us) and taking a day off is a giant pain. Someone has to work if we call out. Doing this on a Saturday means we can skip spending and participate.
@Remittancegirl @AbiNormal Are you sure it’s not a plant?
It would also get people to think they’ve done enough and not do more?
You should think you’re dealing with nazi trolls behind every corner now, with the techniques of oldtime soviet spies.🤔
@AbiNormal
I think the idea was to try it the first time in a way that wasn't asking most people to risk much.
I think the idea was to try it the first time in a way that wasn't asking most people to risk much.
Sure, why not? But why a weekend? Doesn't sound serious from the get. Why not a week, begining with a Monday?
@RADman11 Because they chose Saturday. you want a Monday? Then be proactive and set up a second general strike. We’ll need more than one.
"because they chose Saturday I want Monday"? No actually I want any week day at all because it will have a much larger economic impact and because common sense would tell anyone that thought about it that Saturday is a lame fucking choice. That would be why. Why all the fucking attitude over such an innocuous comment?
@RADman11 Uh, because of what you said? “Doesn’t sound serious” 🤦🏻♀️
I don’t care which weekday you think is right or wrong, this is already underway. We need to support it, not bash it.
NO day is a “lame choice.” EVERY action is a good one.
If you’re not happy with it, like I said, organize another one. We need it. We need a lot more of it.
And speaking of attitude, maybe rethink your own choice of words.
See ya.

@fuchsi It’s not just him. It’s Republicans. Should he leave office, MAGA still exists, his entire Cabinet still exists.
No, we have to fight fascism, not a man. Voting rights are only one of their targets.
so what's the plan? The country is shut down. And then what?
@fuchsi ? I don’t understand why you’re asking me this.
If you continue to disable and w/hold, it gives us leverage as a people.
Please look up “general strikes”
I thought there was some agenda I wasn't aware of yet. It sounded fancy.
Yes, a general strike is a good idea.
(Just make sure there is a plan for afterwards. Or if it fails.)

The client here is giving me grief. I saw you mention that you thought both were OK and dropped a note there.
With reports the other day of demonstrations that weren't known about by the locals (and the warnings and all), I wondered, and flagged it up without doing enough reading.
@gimulnautti How is it a plant to call for a general strike on ANY day.
If people want a different day, then organize a second one.
Take the win, people. General strike is a win.
Don't just share it here in Mastodon then. Print it and post it around your community. Send it to your friends. Posting about it on the Mastodon, echo chamber IS NOT ENOUGH.

@mdyer1 Hi, at the moment, there are no plans to include it. We did try to include it, but making it work goes beyond our current knowledge for now.
Hi, Thats a shame as i would really like to give this a look, but untill this is done I will not be able to give this a look. I hope this is something that could be reconsitered as this would be another opsion for blind users who want to be able to use it.

Let us rectify that, and this video. Dilla never had a pop hit? How about Eryka Badus "Didn't Cha know"? Or how about Q-Tips "Breathe and stop"? Well, maybe not pop hits...
Ofc he was the producer of The Pharcyde, did De La Souls "Breakadawn" and a fair deal of Slum Village...
In any case, few modern composers revolutionized modern music like he did - and you probably didn't even know how important he was.

So glad to see this essential story funded. I am supplementing my Japanese language study with reading and speaking lessons via a brilliant tutor online - he has me reading some popular Japanese children’s books for practice, so I’m definitely adding this one to the pile ❤️
how lovely - it is great to see one of my childhood TV heroes is now also an author, even if it's for a sad reason.
We’ve been reading your book to our girls, along with “Escucha mi voz / Hear My Voice” about child separation during Trump’s first term. Thank you for sharing your story so we can pass it on to another generation. We cannot forget our past, lest we repeat it.

Say what you want to say about Nvidia
But getting a new update on my 2019 #nvidia #sheildtv was not on my bingo card this year. I'll wait a few day to see potential bug reports, but that's pretty awesome to receive updates and features this late in the a game. The 2015 model also received an update! That's TEN YEARS!
I really wish there as a good #androidtv replacement though. I've actually just started thinking about it given it's starting to show it's age.

Yep.
I wish they also could implement a decentralised hosting protocol, though I know currently that technology is in it’s infancy.
isn't that just a torrent?
There are different protocols that attempt to work for things like web hosting, but yes, the BitTorrent protocol is a decentralised file sharing protocol.
Would be best if there were several mirrors in several countries. It's unfortunately too large to realistically host via crowd sourcing. The best you could do is something ala Storj where fragments are redundantly distributed across various hosts.

Some of the publicly available data is disappearing under the new administration. Most notably information about COVID, long COVID, vaccines, and bird flu is disappearing. Presumably, this data dump contains the missing data.

Importantly they are also removing all mentions of climate change. I imagine they'll be deleting data on that front as well.
That happened last admin, so def wouldn't be a shocker.
Same, especially before the inevitable attacks on the Internet Archive to come. Who knows what nonsense will be in the works to try and get this removed, or the whole project shut down in the coming years.
We are screwed if the Internet Archive goes down, right?
Seems like a huge point of failure for one entity.

Agreed, I think the biggest issue though is just scale. It’s over 100 petabytes of data. Not outside the realm of big cloud providers to mirror, but they don’t really give a shit. It would require some sort of significant distributed software solution for the community to work with. Not impossible, but as far as I know, nobody’s taken up the mantle yet as I think it would need custom software just to begin the solution of how to distribute it as a sharded set of community mirrors, different people just mirroring individual pieces.
HexOS has a plan for shared encrypted data. With the simplicity of installation and management it could take off mainstream as personal NAS are gaining popularity, but its still in early development.
Interplanetary File System can do it
IPFS is the way to go IMO, it's so perfect for archival that it pains me that it's still pretty unknown
the fact that you don't need any sort of central organization for everyone to help seed data is amazing, no more duplicate torrents splitting seeders, so long as you have identical data the network just figures it out.
If you have the hash for a piece of data you can just set a computer to watch for someone to start seeding it, even if the last time anyone saw the data was decades ago and a dude just found a CD in their recently passed dad's basement, if that dude seeds it overnight and then their computer explodes, you've now downloaded it and it'll remain available. It's so fucking good.
So about 104,857,600 GB? You'd need 105,000 people with 1 TB each to save that. Or...
Assuming you bought 30 TB SSDs, you'd need about 3,500 of those, costing €80 each.
That'd be €280k, but let's round it to €300k.
If every person spent €960 (or €80 per month), then each person could get 12 of those SSDs. You'd need 8,750 people to do that.
Should be doable if crowdfunded by a community, or if you had some big donor. Then you'd need to connect it.

Looking at diskprices.com, lowest prices for storage are around $8 (used) or $15 (new). I didn't look too hard, but a 30TB SSD for $80 (~$2.5/TB) seems wrong?
100K TB * $15/TB = $1.5 million
Assuming 100PB is the amount of data, we'd also need redundancy. Idk what best practices would be, but I'll say 3ish copies, so 300PB total.
So a grand total of ~$5 million.
Which is crazy cheap, all things considered. Like, it would be no problem for a single rich person to handle that.
Hell, subsidize/give away cheap little computers that you just plug power and an Ethernet cable into. Raspberry pi + 4TB drive ($60) + casing would be like... $100? Though I guess you'd need 75K of them, and the cost per TB is pretty bad.
This guy is 20TB for $280: https://a.co/d/17UOtFi
If we stick with $40 of overhead for rpi etc, that's $320 for 20TB ($16/TB), and we'd need 300PB/(20TB/unit) = 15K units. And at $320 each, all in would be $4.8 million.
The software seems to exist for connecting them all... So idk seems like it would be absolutely feasible? Would be interested to learn if I'm missing a major cost.
For the 30 TB SSD i looked at sites like Luntek.
Was this previously public data? Not illegal to download an torrent, right?

How would you recommend someone go about archiving important parts of the IA? Just external drives?
i’m not smart enough for this but maybe look to communities like r/DataHoarder to get started
The Internet Archive is, and I really want to emphasize this, Fucking Huge. If you want to help archive it, every upload has an associated torrent you can download and help seed. Torrenting itself isn't illegal, only torrenting illegal stuff like copyrighted movies. You can buy a relatively cheap refurbished HDD of whatever size you want, set up qBittorrent, and torrent the uploads that you want to make sure are available even if the Internet Archive has to take them down or has a critical data loss failure.
Thank you so much for the advice! I want to preserve important documents like the bill of rights and the constitution, as well as sexual education material, especially stuff pertaining to women and reproductive health. Also banned books. Things the facists are trying to purge and things that are important to me.

In the case of books, Anna's Archive is looking for help seeding their enormous collection of books and research papers. Consider reading that page and helping them as well!

I know what you're talking about is important and a necessary comment but something about your comment hit me hard. It's just so absolutely insane that it has to be said/done.
Ikr? It's wild that all of this is happening.
If anyone is looking for something specific to preserve, consider Our Bodies, Ourselves. It's a seminal feminist work that seeks to educate women on their bodies. It's extremely comprehensive, thicker than most textbooks.
I will grab this torrent when I get home and make it a permanent seed, alongside the one outing nazis in Patriot Front.
I appreciate you doing this!
Glad you said so. I completely forgot that I needed to grab this once home. It is now active. Once it's done downloading, I'll keep it seeding forever, since I have no bandwidth cap. Cheers.
Was there a mailing list or other identifying docs in that pf leak or was it just chats and stuff?
Not sure if it's the same leak, but if it's PatriotFail, it's even got videos.
Watch the marching drill one for a good laugh. xcancel.com/alt_uscis/status/1…

What else should we seed? I've got a homelab and am eager to put some storage to use for something like this.
🚨 BIG NEWS Y'ALL! 🚨
Someone just saved ALL the CDC's public data before it could disappear! 🦅
What's the Deal?
Some mystery hero downloaded everything from the CDC's website (that's 98 GIGABYTES of health info!) and uploaded it to the Internet Archive on Jan 28th. Think of it like making a backup copy of your phone before it breaks!
Why Should You Care?
- This is YOUR health data - stuff about vaccines, diseases, and public health that your tax dollars paid for! 🏥
- Once this info is gone from CDC's website, it could be really hard for your doctor to get important updates
- Researchers need this to keep studying ways to keep Americans healthy 💪
What's Next?
Smart folks at places like Harvard are making sure this data stays safe by keeping copies. It's like having multiple backups of your family photos - can't be too careful!
Remember folks: Knowledge is power, and someone just made sure we didn't lose a whole bunch of it! 🎯

Shut the fuck up dork.
As a reminder, AI generated content is against the rules in this community—see the sidebar. I appreciate your instinct to bring some quality content to this space, but let’s please keep in mind that genuine interaction with diverse voices is what makes this community beautiful. 😀
My reasoning:
- You have personally admitted to writing AI comments in the past: sh.itjust.works/comment/164823…
- Heavy use of markdown headings, bullets, and section dividers is a common pattern in LLM output
- Use of “it’s like” or “it’s about” phrases as the conclusion to a paragraph are very common in LLM models like ChatGPT
- Verbatim replication of content from my original post that is common in LLM output and highly indicates an LLM was instructed to create something based on the text of the original post
- Use of 🎯 emoji does not match context
- “100% AI generated” response on multiple AI detection websites (GPTZero, Quillbot)
Any single one of these facts would not lead me to comment, but with all of it combined it makes a pretty strong case. Thank you for your contribution to this community but please let’s keep it genuine in the future! We love and appreciate the real you 😀
it's weird that I learned of this through this community and not a security or health community. something to look into tomorrow

I went to a local Latino restaurant yesterday to get some takeout and saw a bunch of handwritten signs saying they were going to be closed on Monday to support the community.
The waitress said there was a movement to skip work and not spend money this Monday Feb 3 to protest the attacks on Latinos. I hadn't heard of that and didn't find much mention online. I think it's the idea by some random person in DC? I found the image above on facebook or somewhere equally horrible. Anyway I'm just posting bc this is the only protest I've seen in my area, the Democrats have been completely silent so all that's left is some rando on the other side of the country.

Do it. It's the beginnings of people understanding that a General Strike WILL WORK.
During COVID, it took two weeks of the economy being "shut down" before multibillion dollar corporations were asking for bailouts.
A general strike is going to hurt, but not as much as fascism.
It's gonna be a tough road, on reddit people are bitching about the idea of organizing a protest on a Wednesday because "they have to work."
Look, this system is going to try to fucking kill us so maybe showing up to work like nothing is wrong is missing the point entirely.
Dying of starvation takes almost a month, dying of thirst takes a few days to a week.
It's not impossible to weather this storm.

Okay this is cool and all, but you can't exactly set an end date if you're going on strike
If you want to be involved, 50501 in your nearest city.
What does this mean? Feel free to DM if you'd rather
50 protests, 50 states, 1 day
A day will not accomplish anything I fear. Our attention spans for news is like 2 days before we get bored and move on. Expand it to a week for anything meaningful.
but that many days off would be risky for the working immigrants. One day can be afforded much more easily. More needs strike pay. Also, give more notice. This is in less than 12 hours
Agreed, tho that's the least of the problems; the event is not very well advertised and poorly planned in general. But it's SOMETHING. The Democrats are doing nothing so far. Indivisible is just suggesting we contact Senators. The Transgender Unity Coalition had some rallies last week, I could have driven a couple hours to one, but I didn't see it in time: transunitycoalition.org/

Another plane crash in the US. This time a Lear Jet crashing on a residential neighborhood in Philadelphia. Quick, Donald! Blame DEI!

The FAA website has gone dark. It's just not there.
Update: I was wrong. It's no longer working without the www, but with it it's still online.
Per @AnneOfGreenCables, they may have tried to take the site down and botched it. They removed the DNS records for the non-www version.
Apparently Trump has said that "most" government websites are going to be shut down.
It's like the flashback scenes to the early days of Gilead in The Handmaid's Tale.

All government sites were apparently shut down at 5PM today. Some suspect to scrub them of DEI information.
they want us dead.
RepubliKKKans. It’s inky going to become more & more obvious they’re against all of us.

1. The rest of the FAA website is functioning.

2. I just phoned the FAA (202 267 3333) and they seem to be doing their job and said that's an IT issue.
@stevendbrewer Dig a little deeper next time rather than going off half-cocked.
Maybe read past the first sentence of a post before clutching your pearls and delivering a lecture? I corrected my post long before you commented.

@AnneOfGreenCables I just searched using *.gov to see what came back and was struck by the new header at state.gov. The previous home page had a simple “US Department of State” header with links to the “Results Delivered” video and other retrospectives.
The new homepage seems so possessive.

@theogrin Other government websites are still up, despite Trump apparently saying they would be taken down. My guess is it's just incompetence.
@leean00 I saw a mention of that on The Guardian when I was trying to find out what had happened to the FAA site.
