Using FTP (I assume you mean SFTP) will buy you some performance, as would other protocols that are faster and requiring less compute than SMB.

I predict whatever solution you use will only buy you time. Usage is bound to increase so you’ll still hit the performance limits for the hardware platform at some point, unless you can constrain the simultaneous connections. File sizes will impact scalability a lot as well.

You can’t guess this one. You need to test.

tl;dr - I suspect you can’t win.

This was always what he intended. Get people to quit instead of paying redundancy when he has to reduce the work force. Classic stuff done by many big orgs over the years. Make the place shit to work at and people quit for you.

Bingo. I also suspect they’re gambling on it being a failure. Hard ball behaviour if true but a failure of such a privatisation would be very high profile and likely put a stop to anything similar for a long time.

Also note that failures to meet agreed standards will have penalties so it might be possible for labour to force them out that way.

You know, there was a much shorter range version of this that was predominantly used in offices and college computer rooms. It was called FrisbeeNet.

Damn it. Beat me to it. I’ll be first ext time.

Go look at the northern ireland troubles. There are other similar situations in history but that’s a good example. Essentially you have to get people talking until they agree to peace. Violence of any type just fuels more conflict.

I suspect Israel just wants to wipe out its enemies. That can’t be done so they will have to stop one way or another.

Just from an environmental standpoint anything that reduces the expansion of AI farms is desirable.

Giving LLMs a free pass on abusing copyright and fair use rules is such a double standard. YouTubers who use a snippet of music get the earnings from their video stolen by rights trolls.

For me, the dream is every AI result coming with a citation list showing what sources were used.

Essentially we just did a copy / paste. There have been some tweaks but nothing huge so far.

Power is only part of it. Concrete production is a huge greenhouse gas source.

I’ve only watched the first 4 mins but it sounds insane so far. Like they were expecting this woman to have a small army hiding in her cupboards. I’ll definitely watch the rest, though I understand this is her own version of events. Maybe I’ll post a summary of some sort. Few things rock me enough to motivate me to do anything much in response, but this seems insane.

I’m aware of the claims that she made some stupid statements about the holocaust. Interestingly those are published on pro-israel sites. I’ve seen other news outlets say those claims were debunked. Either way it doesn’t matter. It is her treatment by the police that works be the focus here.

I’m at the point of looking to pay for a good usenet service. I’ll definitely probably start looking next week.

He should remove the “post” button while he’s at it.

Will they still get service support, it being a grey import?

In the UK I think it depends how much you torrent, how often, and who your ISP is. I’m pretty sure the big main ISPs all have to be vigilant and tell their customers off for doing it. I use a small ISP, and I set my upload speed to 10Mbits and my download to half my max bandwidth. I don’t seed a library of stuff just whatever is being downloaded, then I stop. So yes. I’m a leech and have been for years. No VPN. However we only torrent when we can’t get something on a service we already pay for so not more than 3 times a week.

tl;dr - in the UK use a small ISP and stay below the radar and you’ll be fine.

This seems like bullshit to me. I’ve not seen anyone complaining their VPN isn’t working. And any business with staff using VPNs would not be happy if they managed to let that update get applied.

I’m on Pixel 7 and current Firefox, but it won’t install. It Just says “no app found to open xpi files”

Edit: fixed. Have to engage Dev options. Settings > About > tap the Firefox icon a few times. Then go back to settings and you’ll see the “install add-on from file” option.

Can’t see evidence you don’t actually look at.

Yli.think you make a reasonable point, but it feels like choosing between getting stabbed in the left leg vs the right leg.

They are just jealous that someone else is getting all the tasty data, and they think it should be going to a US company instead.

Scarry read.
