What If the slurry of accusations are themselves ai generated?

Musk after not getting a response to his wildest party request to Epstein:

Wow that is some heavy whataboutism bud. I've already given you everything you asked for in the previous post.

You say we're the ones on the wrong side of history; not too disimilar to those who championed cigarettes or heroin as miracle cures despite the medical concerns raised at the time of their inception.

The major flaw with your argument is that LLMs are run by major corporations (aka the ruling class), the same class that run the majority of media outlets, and are therefore generally looked upon favourably. Immigrants are not.

It's called cognitive atrophy

Your mind works like a muscle; if you don't use it, you begin to lose it.

This isn't a new concept either. For example, alzheimers patients are given puzzle based tasks to aid in stalling degradation of mental faculties.

The term hijack has more uses than just describing the physical act of taking control of a vehicle by force. The use in the title matches the 2nd definition given here (example A specifically)

I'd recommend creating a gateway service. You basically have two routes, managed gateways or self hosted using a rented virtual private server (VPS).

Managed

These are services that are managed by companies, that allow the setup of VPN tunnels with a public access point. Some examples are:

• Cloudflare
• Tailscale

There's not too much to say on this approach, it's easy to setup, but depending on the level of ownership you're looking for, it may or may not be the correct route for you.

Self-Hosted via VPS

Reason you want to use a VPS as the gateway, is so that at no point is your home server exposed to the public. Instead, any potentially malicious actions (which is an inevitably when creating public facing services ) are directed at your VPS rather than your actual server.

There are a few different options, some examples are:

• Netbird
• Headscale

Both of these are designed to implement an access point (your VPS) and any number of devices to proxy (your homeserver). They are built upon wireguard, and are feature rich.

Personally, I opted for a more lightweight approach using selfhosted-gateway, which is definitely a bare bones Reverse Proxy over VPN, designed specifically for exposing docker containers on your homeserver. Much like the other options, it's built upon wireguard VPN. Theres no UI (which is why imo it's perfect for a tiny VPS), just a simple MAKE command thats run from your homeserver and generates the required docker compose files, then once spun up creates the link between your VPS and exposes the appropriate docker container.

Its a feature, not a bug.

I use prowlarr to manage my sources, and that container in its entirety is backed up, so if the whole unit were to die simultaneously. I would lose all content, but retain all setup.

The key part for my recovery method is my Arr stack (prowlarr, sonarr, radarr). Loading up sonarr/radarr shows the entire catalogue of content; and highlights/ can search for any that are missing; so once the media drives been replaced its as easy as pressing a button.

If you're just getting started. I'd recommend checking out yams.media. it provides a strong starting stack including arr containers, vpn setup etc... Its a strong foundation for a successful media server. I believe it also has media separated from app data, which makes a setup like this easy to achieve.

Haha, thanks; I'm certain I'm not the only techie fighting big tech in this way, and if I can help other self hosters on the journey, I'm more than happy to.

The real angels are the many unsung heroes that develop these open source projects. Without their dedication to the good fight, people like me wouldn't be able to do what we do.

Thanks, Glad to hear I'm not the only one and there's method to the madness! I did start out with building in redundancy into the media drives, but once space ran out I came to the same conclusion. Nobodies going to cry if the ~27 seasons of law and order need to be redownloaded, so there's no problem with a lack of redundancy.
