Have you measured how much energy it uses once you have your frigate continuously recording and go2rtc multiplexing all the streams

Or if we are to be historically correct, Israel is a result of nation building as a result of breaking a British empire, just like 35 other countries across Asia, the Carribean and the Middle east.

That includes India, Pakistan, Jordan, Iraq, Qatar, UAE, Yemen and others.

Hamas, Palestinian Islamic Jihad, Hezbollah, Irans regime.

In the past Jordan, Egypt, Syria.

Interesting, never heard a term "Oriental" Jews. I guess it means those who were not expelled from the Middle east.

At cost of power at $.45kwh here and dual 3090 setup easily approaching 1kw per hour at 120 tok/sec, latest Luna is cheaper per million tokens.

Your electrical costs are likely less than mine though

$10/mo buys 7 vCPU Cores and 8gb ram which is not bad at all.

This is where freedom of choice is great. You can follow the people you want on platforms of your preference.

The smartest people i know, i mostly know because of their X presence.

How does one not engage with the corporate product at all?

Im typing a comment on a website of a corporation whose goal is to grow companies into corporations, via a computer manufactured by a corporation on a keyboard produced by a corporation, staring at a screen produced by a corporation, while connecting to an internet service offered by a corporation. Never mind that im also employed by a corporation, dressed by a corporation, drive a car manufactured by a corporation that takes fuel from a corporate gas station that is extracted and proccessed by a corporation.

What is the alternative exactly

You want to read what service XYZ offers, but you dont want to do it within the constraints of service XYZ.

If you dont want to follow the constraints of service XYZ, you dont have to consume its content.

The market would dictate that if X content consumers found it too inconvenient to consume from X and that would result in a significant drop in demand, the X content producers would stop producing their content on X.

I dont like many things about X -- random ads, bookmark folders being a paid feature, enshittification of the algorithm if you god forbid linger over some controversial video or content.

But i keep coming back to it because its the best way to follow the minds of brilliant techies. The basic sign up flow that i did years ago was basically a no-op.

I suspect that for most people, creating an account is basically a few button clicks (thanks OAuth) and they dont mind creating an account.

Wow, апельсин - apelsin(Russian) makes total sense now
