In Europe. The governments are ‘owned’ by EU law 😅. From the European union.

So in China it’s blanc clear that the government is owning all cooperations. Everything is government owned.

In the west, you will notice that only very large companies get very heavy subsidies for some reason, as if these companies don’t have enough money. But the sad story are the small to medium businesses. They are of course not owned by the government here, however they also won’t get the huge amount of political support and subsidies like large corporations. Meaning it’s often very unfair to the businesses.

To make matters worse, you have seen it yourself maybe when 80% of the banks almost collapsed and suddenly where saved by the government. Like too big to fail mentality. This not only caused outrage but also reward them from being greedy and evil.

I’m not saying communists system is good. But I’m also not saying capitalism is good. In all cases, we do not have direct democracy.

If we would truly have democracy, we should be able to vote for all ideas and laws. And won’t need to elect anybody. Then the people are directly in control

In China everybody and everything is owned by the government. If not indirectly.

I’m not even surprised, but I’m disappointed.

Linus is right here.

VMware is dead. The prices are way too high, even my company is complaining about the prices.

I personally run proxmox at home.

Not in my htpc.

It’s indeed a very strange default page. Especially when you’re not logged in.

Shit

The botnet is most likely build by exploiting vulnerable routers or cameras. Adding these devices to a overall botnet. What do you think?

Hehe. Then all those busy rooms will be ded. This would be a huge problem for matrix. Not really technically (since you could add additional rooms from other servers), but more like brand damage.

Almost all services on the internet are behind cloudflare ddos protection.

Still a very important service for many people who are alone.😢

He is not wrong. Look the whole internet is basically one centralized cloudflare if we continue this path.

We just should not use cloudflare. Why is everybody still trying to use cloudflare.

It drives me nuts. The default answer on all network problems: why don’t you just use cloudflare? No! No no.

The whole internet is down. Unless you self host

Owhooo your virtual girl friend is offline!

Another reason to self host 😊

I won’t gonna use my smartphone as a local llm machine.

never go online again - they won’t be able to monitor anything, even if there’s code for that included.

Sounds counter-intuitive on a smart phone where you most likely want to be online again at some point in time.
