It's like that Futurama "Scary Door" bit where the scientist creates a robot to automate everything in his life and gets shocked when the robot gets all the credit: https://futurama.fandom.com/wiki/The_Scary_Door#Episode_7,_featured_in_the_Futurama_episode_%22Benderama%22

Ew.

Idk it doesn't seem like there are any legal consequences for tech companies anymore.

If avoiding downtime is your number one priority and you're willing to take on a lot of complexity to achieve it, then Kubernetes is probably the way to go. There are various chat platforms that can be distributed, but keeping a game server state synced between nodes isn't an easy task. There's a reason most multiplayer games are instanced.

I do find it a little odd that you're so concerned about uptime with a casual gaming server, but to each their own.

Right, that's more accurate.

This is not slop, this is political ~~misinformation~~ disinformation. Call it what it is.

Slop is annoying, but it's just AI generated spam. This is much more purposeful and insidious. The tools you used to make it are irrelevant.

I've seen this idea floated before a few times, and it's a thought I've had before myself--some sort of self-hosted version of gify. AFAIK nothing exists as of writing, but I've seen this idea crop up enough times that maybe there's a demand for this sort of thing.

Personally, I just have a well-organized meme folder that I sync between my client devices with syncthing, but something a little more integrated and easier to search might be fun.

This is probably more due to user data laws rather than ideological opposition, but I'll take the win.

Yeah, that seems like a bug. Even if it was streaming every sensor datapoint it had, it probably wouldn't be that much.

Do you host on more than one machine? Containerization / virtualization begins to shine most brightly when you need to scale / migrate across multiple servers. If you're only running one server, I definitely see how bare metal is more straight-forward.

Instead of 3 full paragraphs of stuff everybody already knows, why not start by explaining why you think Ladybird and Omarchy are”run by fascists”?

Even if you’re right, the damage they’ve done to the US government, journalism, and the Earth is immeasurable and will take decades to repair if we even can anymore.

I think people really underestimate just how much valuable work various branches of the US Government does, and MAGA has destroyed generations of work within a year.
