I would like to tell my story which led to me encrypting my PC hard drive, even if it’ not a laptop.

I had a iMac, first it was from work but when I left the company I bought it ao I could keep it. When asked if I want to encrypt the drive while setting it up I denied because it’s not a laptop so I didn’t take it with me so it couldn’t get stolen.

Until I woke up one day and this big iMac which was the center of my desk was suddenly gone, together with my Nikon camera, my external sound card and other electronics the thieves could grab quickly while I was snoring in the bedroom.

I didn’t mind the hardware so much and I had backups of most of the things already anyway, but the feeling that they could mount the HDD and get all the data especially I was logged in to all websites and change my passwords, etc.

Since then I’m encrypting everything.

I have it build in into my instance and while it is the best, doesn’t mean it is usable.

Oh and finding new content is kind of impossible, I wish PeerTube was set up more like Lemmy with communities which you subsribe to instead of channels people need to follow explicitly.

I can’t run my own Odysee instance to be independent of third parties which might moderate away my content if they don’t like it. My content my rules.

I mean I did throw up a PT instance and publish my videos exclusively on it, and I’m getting decent views if the topic is interesting and I promote it on hacker news, I’m getting several thousands of views. But that does not fix the PeerTube mobile app, nor the fact that finding content is practically impossible and the subscribe mechanism constantly randomly stops working, there is no app for my TV (like SmartTube) etc.

I’m all in with PeerTube as a creator, but as a user it’s a terrible experience.

New generation?

Yep, off to prison you go! /s

Is this in China?

The most funny part of the post is the last line :D

I just installed a forgejo instance on my server for that purpose. It’s the same software as behind codeberg.

It’s different from country to country, in most places it’s illegal and your hired gun would be put to prison for murder.

In Switzerland I know they have the posibillity. It’s quite lengthy precedure, you need to show you’re terminally I’ll and there are meetings with psychiatrists and so on so that a overwhelming majority of people who start the process decide against it and for a natural death and only very few go through it.

Bullshit.

Yeah that’s interesting, actually in 5th or 6th grade one of the girls stole such a magazine from her older brother and brought it to school to show it around for some reason.

Why didn’t you compete with women? Why didn’t you make a colareer out of it?

I use Arch BTW.

But have you seen many instances where the chinese language is the main language?

Not the people behind the great Chinese firewall. Both on Lemmy and Mastodon there are practically no Chinese or Korean instances. For some reason Japan is an exception.

1. Install linux on it https://ubuntuhandbook.org/index.php/2024/04/install-ubuntu-24-04-desktop/
2. Install ollama https://ollama.com/download/linux
3. Install Open WebUI https://docs.openwebui.com/getting-started/quick-start/
4. Install stable-diffusion-webui https://github.com/AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui
5. Spent a coupple of weeks learning how to configure it so you can get a chat running and a image generator

Makes sense, because with the nvidia graphics card you could generate AI porn.

Thanks for the link, this is the kind of info I was wondering about.
