As a person who has been managing Linux servers for about a decade now, trust me that a few hours or days of learning docker now will save you weeks if not months in the future. Docker makes managing servers and dealing with updates trivial and predictable. Setting everything up in docker compose makes it easy to recover if something fails, it’s it’s self documenting because you can quickly see exactly how your applications are configured and running.

Puberty itself is full of irreversible changes. Having puberty blockers available to trans youth is important to prevent their bodies from making changes they don’t want, and is reversible later.

Yep, I have Kagi set as my default, but if I’m searching for places nearby or current events, I usually end up back on google. But 90+% of my search queries stay on Kagi which is impressive enough. In the past I’ve tried DuckDuckGo and always switched back in part because the results quality was very bad.

I can’t wait to freely cast my ballot AGAINST either a genocidal capitalist or a worse genocidal capitalist.

Very similar, yes

While Kagi does have a very specific audience in mind, I’m not convinced specialization vs generalization is a reason for a difference. Google also tailors ads for the audience, using information they have collected on you, people similar to you, as well as general time of day, current events, etc. It’s more that google wants you on their site for longer, Kagi wants you to find your result and move on, since the more you search the more it costs them.

I understand what you’re saying, I just don’t think it’s easy to deliver such low density heat in a useful way. Large datacenters are located away from residential land because they can be unpleasant to live near, and while businesses could be close by, what industries can utilize a huge volume of ~100 degree air?

Idk about you but I’ve thought of making a Lemmy instance exclusively for bots. Have an algorithm make posts, have a collection of llm accounts semi-randomly commenting on them and responding to each other. It could allow federated users to make comments that are able to be interacted with by the bots.

How’s a data center going to use a lot of hot air? Maybe they could use specialized heat pumps to condense it even more and spin some turbines, but the efficiency would be extremely low and probably not worth the investment. Best option is probably to just heat a few adjacent buildings in the winter.

It sounds really grim, but if politicians feared they’d be shot for their greed, maybe we’d have a more fair society.

It’s truly shocking how a tiny company of a few people can outperform one of the largest companies in the world with search. Google is full of ads though, so it’s more profitable for them if you have to spend more time on their page to see more ads.
