Oh 100%. 100 hour work weeks are absolutely insane and clear productivity theatre. To then pretend that adding an extra 20 hours will do more. Man what a waste.

100 hour weeks to 120 hour weeks.

I hope those engineers are getting double bonus equity or something. 100 hour weeks is “you live in the office and all you do is work”. I’ve done 100 hour weeks in my game crunch days. It’s impossible to maintain a personal life.

I cannot imagine anyone being productive at 120 hour weeks. WTF is this? North Korea?!

JMAP support would make a huge difference to expand the only open/free (as in speech) competition Exchange has.

Stream Control Transmission Protocol. It’s the Betamax of low level networking.

I actually fear the worst here.

There’s always been a natural “reset” point when the distance between the haves and the have nots got too large: Guilotines.

They usually got erected when even the soldiers could see they were getting screwed over and turned against the powers that be.

With a robot army that will never be questioned. I genuinely fear that a lot of the subconscious motivation behind the investors in this tech is a desire to protect themselves against rebellions from the slums.

In the U.K. there’s a law (perhaps it’s an agreement between the broadcasters, no sure) to display a P in the corner of the screen when there’s product placements. So every time someone takes a phone out in a soap opera, the little P appears. Hilarious how ALL the characters in Hollyoaks chose Windows Mobile for a while.

Perhaps we ought to require the same for AI generated media.

Ah right. I didn’t know that - thank you. Only really got into self hosting in the last couple of year.

I’m running 22.04.4 Server with kernel 6.5.0-27 and everything is rock solid.

Any reason I should upgrade when stable 24.04 releases? It doesn’t seem to me that there is, but I’m worried missing something.

Funnily enough the current one is actually the one where we’ve made the biggest delta and it’s been worthwhile in every way. When I joined the oldest part of the platform was 90s .net and MSSQL. This summer we’re turning the last bits off.
