Although statistically, it should be males being afraid to walk home at night.

Thanks for the info. Now I may have to try it.

Idk if it bypasses limitations, you can try. As for bullshiting, no. The AI almost certainly does not have the ability to go and open a webpage. If it was trained on wikipedia, it may or may not give you the age listed at the time of it's training. If not, it will likely take a different source and pretend it is from wikipedia. Either way, it will likely bullshit you about doing what you asked while giving you outdated/missourced information.

Now the number may be correct, I imagine Bernies real age is readily available, but it will confidently lie about how it got the information.

There is no gotcha, I am just pointing out a blatant lie.

A U.S. official, speaking to Reuters on condition of anonymity, estimated the cost to operate a C-17 military transport aircraft is $28,500 per hour.

Or instead of making up fake officials, you could google "Fixed Wings and Helicopter Reimbursement Rates 2025", look up C-17A and see that the hourly rate is $19,862.

So I look into it and TCAS seems to be available in an upgrade package.

I always assumed military aircraft didn't have TCAS or any other such technology that could give away the position of the aircraft. But thinking about it, why not? They do have transporders, they just have an off switch for them.

So I don't know. Maybe they don't have TCAS, maybe they forgot to turn it on. Either way, TCAS probably wouldn't work at low altitude during a landing.

We will probably have to wait for the accident report.

Anyone using a good proton drive alternative?

I run Synology NAS at home and I love it, but it was expensive to set up.

Other extreme is Syncthing for completely free device sync, but no backup beyond your devices and both devices must be online to sync.

I self-hosted Nextcloud on cloudamo with Cryptomator for e2ee but I can't really recommend it. Nextcloud is pain to administer and tends to be buggy.

Nice. Good to see you know what you are doing. I see no issue with this setup.

That said, most people will use VPNs for their whole system. So when you nominate AirVPN without additional context, that is what most people would use it for. Please take care in making clear what you recommend it for going forward :)

I don't think there is particular problem with torrents. The problem is, when your VPN is active, you probably send all your other data through it. That is why dodgy seedbox is much less of an issue compared to dodgy VPN. A seedbox only has access to your torrents, a VPN probably has access to all of your communications.

While AirVPN claims no logging, with prices that cheap and already having to skirt the law to be able to provide port forwarding, it's not very credible. There is a good chance your data is being sold to someone and/or getting stolen since good security costs money.

Now there is no guarantee AirVPN has these issues or that Mullvad doesn't, but Mullvad goes to great lengths to build their trustworthines, e.g. 3d-party audits, not even having disks in their servers to ensure logs can't be stored, etc.

I guess if you really really need port forwarding, you need to look at dodgy choices like that.

But unless you absolutely need port forwarding, stick to Mullvad. If it is only about torrents, consider getting a seedbox instead of or in addition to VPN.

Do you send mail directly from your server, or do you use some intermediary?

I will admit I did not try it myself but I was under the impression it was pretty bad with the spam filters.

I see this way too often here on Lemmy, so I want to post this. Starting a commune is legal in most countries. If you believe in communism, you can found a commune and show us all how great it is.

You lack money? Well, that is literally what stock markets and venture capitalists (capitalism) are created to solve. If you are ready for an IPO, you can sell shares to raise funds. If you are not, you can get Venture Capital in exchange for shares until you are ready for an IPO.

Getting rid of capitalism means you need to find a different way to obtain funding for new ventures. And if your system relies on government charity (some government board handing you money) or taking resources violently, than your system sucks.

Edit: I don't mean that this is a replacement for full communist system. I mean this as a way to get some of the advantages while showing sceptics (like me) it can work and is better. A first step.
