  • Actually both profit and debt are just global loss.

    Sell a forest to let a company turn it in firewood for sale but it doesn’t sell so the company make a loss.

    In the end nothing of value got created but the temporary heat of the logs that got sold. For the profit that is now used for a new casino or famous art, the world has lost a forest, a local contributor of healthy air.

    All life that consumes life generates loss. To live is to destroy. That is inevitable.

    Maybe we should aim to embrace that fact rather than hide from it. Hold the knowledge in 2 hands.

    Because the problem is not that to live we must destroy, its the excessive disrespectful way we go on with it noting the profits and value without the damage we have done to obtain those numbers.

    Maybe public display of loss and debt, proof of how little cost there is for the creation of a measurable value could be the new winning.

    Once we start counting loss and not profit or economy will make more sense, as money to first have and then buy with becomes obsolete in contrast to measuring how much damage you have done compared to your peers. Socially, winning means being able to brag with how much you can do with so little.

    No more bloating numbers for the appearance of success, but actual success in showing how creative and efficient we can be to get the most life out of our species.

    (This is a wip btw)


  • Uhm actually ddg is just bing with marketing, does not block microsoft trackers, giving them a monopoly on that data. Use Searxng if you actually want no trackers.

    And like. The economy isn’t real. You need to stop getting so worked up about these semantics. Debt isn’t a real thing, money is not a real thing, its all just psychotic monkey scribbles. Made up shit.

    The only type of debt that does exist, is the one humanity has towards earth. A debt that exits in the labour, resources and energy that it will take to balance our planet out so it can continue to co-exist with us.

    Sorry, just trolling by acting “stoned teenager”







  • Clarification, google (and amazon) are giving anthropic acces to some of their chips (compute).

    This mirrors Microsofts funding in openai, which was mostly just azure credit.

    Same thing with ai companies investing with free generation tokens.

    These companies aren’t providing money just sharing some resources that they would otherwise exploit for profit.

    They are giving each other monopoly money blow jobs and the result is headlines and securing coordinated market domination.





  • Currently my setup for YouTube In jellyfin is pretty basic (but it works well)

    Its one complex yt-dlp script that runs ecery hour, reads a list of channels from a txt file. Rss to check the last 2 vids per channel, if there not downloaded already (log with vid ids per channel) it starts to download on high quality preset, filter out shorts and “live”, if the result is getting above a certain size it aborts and tries again with lower quality preset.

    I don’t have a system to auto dele yet cause the script is only for my favorites. For everything else or that uploads to regularly i host a local invidious.

    But google really hates invidious and it breaks frequently, even got my original residential ip banned. I may take a look at tube archive cause i would prefer download and delete as a more stable flow.

    Something else i am experimenting with is using the same data in multiple systems. My music collection is a proxmox dataset but as long as the read rights are good i see no reason why jellyfin can’t also read those files.

    The output folder of ARM used to be its own library in jellyfin on my first server.


  • Yep, definitely talking to myself again

    Jokes aside, i haven’t seen you mention anything for media streaming.

    I highly passionately recommend Navidrome for music. It is my absolute favorite and most used self hosted service.

    For acquiring media like film and music depending where you live ripping those from your local library is in some places arguably a protected fair use. (Comes from the time mp3 players became common and runners used to take rented cds in their walkman outside before). In my experience, 480p dvd is much higher quality then internet 480p streams and the total size is much smaller then what you find in downloads.

    ARM can help you automatically rip these as long as you have a drive in your pc. I got ARM running in a proxmox lxc with drive passtrough but that honestly was a pain to setup so not sure you should go that exact route, either way the moment arm is functional its smooth sailing and your only concern becomes storage space.
