In MSP as soon as they sent in actual trained people (the state's national guard) things calmed down. It's amazing how well they can handle a situation.

Sigh. I'm not the person you were arguing with.
The most valuable thing you have in your life is time. Every company knows this, it's why there are constant battles for streaming, social media, YouTube, games, drinks, time with friends happening in your head. How am I going to spend the little time I have?
And some people will spend two hours watching this.
That's a completely different problem. You were arguing if a film deserves to be long (it does if it's worth it). Now you're arguing that you don't have time for a long film.
Convenience isn't an Oscar category. A good film can be short or long, it depends on many factors.
As someone who failed a few college courses before finally getting it and moving on, yes absolutely they should be failed. Even knowing the sting of failing, I had to learn it myself that it was my fault that I failed. If they can't pass the class, a film class, that's on them, and they don't deserve to move on.
Acting was top notch, film, setting, all of it. But yes, it was so fucking long. Clocking in around the same length as return of the king, and they even had to add an intermission. I liked it, but I do feel like there were times it could have been cut out a bit.
I do selfhost my own, and even tried my hand at building something like this myself. It runs pretty well, I'm able to have it integrate with HomeAssistant and kubectl. It can be done with consumer GPUs, I have a 4000 and it runs fine. You don't get as much context, but it's about minimizing what the LLM needs to know while calling agents. You have one LLM context that's running a todo list, you start a new one that is charge of step 1, which spins off more contexts for each subtask, etc. It's not that each agent needs it's own GPU, it's that each agent needs it's own context.
The fact that it's only swarming, all agile workers know that swarming means for a week or two. This is just to shut people up
Eh? Seyfried is good, but paired with maga tits Sweeney idk. Sweeney is trying too hard to be serious after rightfully being called out for being... Well..
2 big things for me.
First is that everyone, and I mean absolutely everyone has something they want to hide. People assume "I'm not a violent person or a criminal" except yes you are, and you've done something. A great example is everyone in the US speeds, absolutely everyone. Does that mean you want every office to know every instance of you speeding if you get pulled over? So, yes everyone has something they'd rather not say.
Second is more of an example of you should be allowed to go places without everyone knowing. The example was about 5 years ago police used location data to find a person who broke into someone's home. Problem is that the location data they used returned one person who happened to be on that street around the same time. They were riding their bike down the street. To the police they had the person there, they had proof, it was good enough. Except it wasn't, and he obviously wasn't the person they were looking for. Location data put him there though, and sold him out. So maybe not the best thing for whoever to know exactly where you are at any given time.
As for encryption, ask him for his porn history. If he gets upset, just say "why it's not illegal"
but, I agree with the other person. If you're dad is like mine and countless others, you're not fighting against him but propaganda. If that's the case, you aren't going to win this. The only winning is turning off the source.
I am and do, I have no qualms with AI if I host it myself. I let it have read access to some things, I have one that is hooked up to my HomeAssistant that can do things like enable lighting or turn on devices. It's all gated, I control what items I expose and what I don't. I personally don't want it reading my emails, but since I host it it's really not a big deal at all. I have one that gets the status of my servers, reads the metrics, and reports to me in the morning if there were any anomalies.
I'm really sick of the "AI is just bad because AI is bad". It can be incredibly useful - IF you know it's limitations and understand what is wrong with it. I don't like corporate AI at scale for moral reasons, but running it at home has been incredibly helpful. I don't trust it to do whatever it wants, that would be insane. I do however let it have read permissions (and I know you keep harping on it, but MCP servers and APIs also have permission structures, even if it did attempt to write something, my other services would block it and it'd be reported) on services to help me sort through piles of information that I cannot manage by myself. When I do allow write access it's when I'm working directly with it, and I hit a button each time it attempts to write. Think spinning up or down containers on my cluster while I am testing, or collecting info from the internet.
AI, LLMs, Agentic AI is a tool. It is not the hype every AI bro thinks it is, but it is another tool in the toolbelt. To completely ignore it is on par with ignoring Photoshop when it came out, or Wysiwyg editors when they came designing UIs.

Sorry for the alarming title but, Admins for real, go set up Anubis.
For context, Anubis is essentially a gatekeeper/rate limiter for small services. From them:
(Anubis) is designed to help protect the small internet from the endless storm of requests that flood in from AI companies. Anubis is as lightweight as possible to ensure that everyone can afford to protect the communities closest to them.
It puts forward a challenge that must be solved in order to gain access, and judges how trustworthy a connection is. For the vast majority of real users they will never notice, or will notice a small delay accessing your site the first time. Even smaller scrapers may get by relatively easily.
For big scrapers though, AI and trainers, they get hit with computational problems that waste their compute before being let in. (Trust me, I worked for a company that did "scrape the internet", and compute is expensive and a constant worry for them, so win win for us!)
Anubis ended up taking maybe 10 minutes to set up. For Lemmy hosters you literally just point your UI proxy at Anubis and point Anubis to Lemmy UI. Very easy and slots right in, minimal setup.
These graphs are since I turned it on less than an hour ago. I have a small instance, only a few people, and immediately my CPU usage has gone down and my requests per minute have gone down. I have already had thousands of requests challenged, I had no idea I was being scraped this much! You can see they're backing off in the charts.
(FYI, this only stops the web requests, so it does nothing to the API or federation. Those are proxied elsewhere, so it really does only target web scrapers).

This is a great time for people in the position to learn it if they haven't. Growing up in the Midwest taught me this, that it's better to spend more on something that will last longer. Don't spend $50 on boots that will only last a year. Spend $100 on the boots that will last 5 years.
Tech isn't advancing at the same pace, we need to treat it the same way. I encourage everyone to do research and wait, save, and buy something that will last 5 years, and not reward Motorola for this.
