So... is bookrastinating gone? 😞
@andypiper I keep checking every couple days….
A friend asked me about costs etc. in running my own Mastodon (glitch-soc) instance.
My reply might be useful more broadly:
Costs: I run mine on an Intel NUC, for which I paid about ~£200. But I ran for years on a Raspberry Pi, which was fine until my account got a bit big. It consumes some electricity, and I already have an Internet connection with IPv6 and a spare IPv4. So, incrementally, beyond the cost of the hardware, very little.
Time to set up: it took me about 30 minutes *but* I am already familiar with hardening a Linux server, and I build the basic infrastructure automatically. Honestly, this is the bit that would concern me the most, for someone planning on putting a box on the Internet. But it could also be a fun learning exercise.
Time to maintain: a few minutes a month. Upgrades are easy enough. Backups are automatic (because I have automated them).
@neil How many users on your instance?
@catsalad
I look at the picture,
I don't know the lady/character/comic
I do understand the words.
I don't feel the meaning...

Who’s behind W Social?
Folks like this:
“Ingmar Rentzhog, an entrepreneur who claims he found and helped develop the Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg into a world phenomenon, also used her name to bring in almost SEK 10 million in venture capital for his company - without her knowledge, SvD has found. ‘We had no information about that’c says Svante Thunberg, the teenager’s father.”
***
“I'd venture to say that Rentzhog has a talent for spotting trends tied to societal causes - climate change, European digital sovereignty - and harnessing media attention to build businesses around them.”

Is Europe-washing a term? Because it should be.

@fluepke I don't know, that figure is a little low for modern as tech! 🤣
Ja fa anys que van esclatant casos i casos de #corrupció tant a Catalunya com a Espanya i no passa res, tot segueix sempre igual. És un estat podrit.
Bytedance haven’t even release a LLM for a year and their seeddance was beating Gemini Omni even though they release a month before.
AI cycle change fast every few months, but I feel like many of the US companies are not up to speed with this emerging reality.
@lxcid I still don't quite get what's the end goal for this "competition" 🤷♂️
From the earliest days of technopolitics, the role of technology in resisting authoritarianism was unclear. On the one hand, there's the indisputable fact that modern cryptography, properly implemented, can deliver a degree of privacy that is proof against all technological attacks.

@quixoticgeek Made me think of this story about a guard dog that refused to abandon its herd of goats to evacuate a massive fire with the rest of the family and managed to see his herd safely through the disaster, with just a few burns to show for it.

Environ 60 % d’entre eux ont investi dans la #coopérative.

@dada triste... pour ma part j'ai acheté plein de verres 80ème anniversaire et je les ai offert à Noël. Avec une recapitalisation et une dynamique à l'export ça pourrait marcher
I'm really looking forward to urbex photography of nature reconquering all the abandoned AI data centers.

@elena what device do you use to count steps? I've been using my phone, but it's not optimal.
@leanderlindahl I started with an analog step counter, went through different models... but now I'm using my Apple Watch 🙊🙈
