Technically if you’re dead and buried you can’t get spied on by a Google speaker either…

What are you going on about? This is a bug and the author of the article says as much.

Poor take. This is a technical issue.

Rack mount synology bad, tplink Omada switch, wireless access point, rack fans, and a rack mount nutanix server repurposed as proxmox, but it’s only drawing on the IPMI as I’ve powered it down and moved any services over to containers on the NAS.

I’m drawing 4.474kWh per day on average, and drew 139 kWh over the last month.

I have EcoFlow batteries on both A and B PDUs.

Stuff that can be powered off (mining, redundant power supplies) gets the wall outlet feeding ups b and pdu B turned off at 4pm and turned back on at 9pm to align with my time of use rate plan.

Sadly this guy can simply buy and build a new house while staying at one of his other houses to deal with this self-own.

The US has a lot of space and a lot of farmland. Most countries don’t. As ocean transportation of food (amongst other resources) becomes less reliable due to lack of security, people will be fleeing their failed or failing country to one that’s more stable.

You’re right to think that the US has shit policies for immigration now but I think that will change once population decline starts affecting how much food is stocked at grocery stores.

I anticipate things being a lot worse than they are even now over the next 15 years. Multiple wars, state-sanctioned sea piracy, and a failure in the complex supply chain that creates advanced chipsets used for things like servers/workstations, satellites, weather prediction, stock markets, etc. leading to a mini-collapse as a best-case scenario.

“I guess we’ll have to increase wages”. Doesn’t work when there aren’t enough working people to maintain critical infrastructure.

World wide population decline is going to cause some serious problems. The US will need to establish a strong immigration policy to absorb people fleeing failing countries/geographies while continuing to provide food, and the transportation of that food, to the rest of the us.

Considering how inexpensive it is to put in a 30A, 50A, or 60A circuit, and how modern L2 chargers can both downrate dynamically and be activated with simple apps or cards, this is not a difficult problem to solve.

I felt my back in this post.
