I’m sick and tired of the Capitalist religion and all their fanatic believers. The Western right-wing population are the most propagandized and harmful people on Earth.

  • I could be wrong, but it seems he just mounted ‘/porn’ directly as ‘/’ ? Efficient, I guess.

    …actually, there seem to room for more improvements; I’m not sure there’s any need for an ‘operating system’ on the system - a small fap-app ™ could likely handle all content on the system ? Work documents could be injected in to the fap-stream © when he needs to stop ? That would release many gb for even more fap-ability © ?





  • This is all just Capitalist slop. Has nothing to do with AI or llms, just the kind of society it exists in and the type of psychopath corporations that delivers. We seem to forget that all other tool we use to de-shittify the net, ALL fight capitalist tendencies, but when AI comes along and gives the Capitalist believers a new tool for scamming people, then it is suddenly the tools fault !!

    People hate Capitalism, not the tool…



  • A backup drive ? dotfiles (.config) ? /tmp /var/log /boot ? map it into your home for something temporary - Downloads ? Slow audio files ? If you like to tinker for fun: btrfs / bcachefs could perhaps utilize it for something, like automatically offloading unused/slow files to the slow usb ? Raid ? ;) Create a partition and let zram swap compressed unused memory pages to the usb partition (I think it keeps pages compressed now ?). You can also run ‘usb over ethernet’, so another machine can use it directly - not sure why tho ;)

    On a side note. I still use one of my first usb 1.? drives with 32mb in my old router. 32mb is still 12mb more than my first hard drive, and it fits well with the small openwrt packages. It even has a little slide button to select ‘floppy drive’ mode and a physical ‘readonly’ mode. I wonder what the smallest/oldest usb stick people still use, are ?




  • I think its difficult to get away from an usb converter for you hdd and that seem to be the only reason for not choosing RP ? RP’s are overpriced, but you can probably find a HAT for the sata connection in the rp ecosystem.

    Alternatively, you could look for usb connectors for both hdd and gpio, an old usb-hub, and choose a small orangepi 2 …ish usb-stick (with hdmi, i think) as a base. It shouldn’t cost that much, and power usage is extremely low on the first clones while still having a little power for video etc. The stick should oc be able to power down the hdd via usb.

    Alternatively *2, maybe you can repurpose your laptop, let it hibernate but enable power/wakeup on a usb port, plug in the cheapest gpio unit you can find, and when the tech-illerates try the remote, the stick wakes up the laptop via usb, and your laptop plays the video ? Not sure when to let the laptop power down, but that seems doable. RP2 had a ridiculously low power usage afair, so it can be on always. Not sure what a sleeping laptop draws beside the usb power draw. Oh, and an old laptop might not be able to keep your usb port on while sleeping.

    Cheap, but definitely more clunky…





  • Guix is a great and modern Operating system, where most things are thought through in the FLOSS (free libre open source software) spirit. but besides the installer, you will get your hands dirty in the terminal, with a little Scheme coding (configs are in Scheme (a Lisp like language (that uses an insane amount of ()'s (!!)))) - imagine that. Anyway, standard Guix doesn’t come with proprietary drivers, so you’ll have to add the non-guix repository (gitlab/github) for many wifi drivers. Not quite as easy as other Distros, but doable if you take small steps and copy&paste your first configurations.

    I use Flatpak’s to enhance the software selection, installing from git/pypi and others is also possible.

    ONE anecdotal downside is that I have experienced a few machines where the installer fails, and I have to do it manually. Doable, but it does require a little nerdyness to fix.

    All Guix experts have apparently mind-melded with Emacs, and are nerdy compared to normal users ! The main focus is not on UX, but its a cool environment if you become interested in the inner workings of the system, or any of the nerd tool (LaTeX is a Classic, so you are almost there ;-).

    If that all gets to hairy, you could try out https://www.pantherx.org/ that are a guix based distribution. I think they have enabled non-free firmware by default, and you get a nice® desktop experience out of the box, so there’s that. I haven’t tried it yet, tho.

    Guix is both very advanced under the hood (where all the lovelyness happens), very stable, and very FLOSS, but for doing light work only, you might overshoot on raw Guix. PantherX is likely easier, but you’ll perhaps have to live with a few proprietary blobs (closed source drivers) in the kernel.

    I’m tired, sorry for errors…


  • Absolutely. I’m not as AI-phobic, and I absolutely need both an information gathering agent that searches, follows rss/channels, explores/researches topics, summarizes swats of daily events, and I need a filter between me and corporate internet. Let the AI discard obvious slop, Ads/other propaganda and general informational noise.

    However, you should think about how to share search-results so all our agents don’t floor small services/commoners. We really need to get more information out of corporate silo’s, and into public search/knowledge systems. Perhaps you can integrate some distributed search/knowledge properties ? (now that you have AI to help build it)


  • I agree. However, I think it is related to Capitalism and all the sociopathic corporations out there. It’s almost impossible to think that anything good will come from the Blue Church controlling even more tech. Capitalism have always used any opportunity to enslave/extort people - that continues with AI under their control.

    However, I was also disappointed when I found out how negative ‘my’ crowd were. I wanted to create an open source lowend AGI to secure poor people a descent life without being attacked by Capitalism every day/hour/second, create abundance, communities, production and and in general help build a social sub society in the midst of the insane blue church and their propagandized believers.

    It is perfectly doable to fight the Capitalist religion with homegrown AI based on what we know and have today. But nobody can do it alone, and if there’s no-one willing to fight the f*ckers with AI, then it takes time…

    I definitely intend to build a revolution-AGI to kill off the Capitalist religion and save exploited poor people. No matter what happens, there will be at least one AGI that are trained on revolution, anti-capitalism and building something much better than this effing blue nightmare. The worlds first aggressive ‘Commie-bot’ ha! 😍
