However it’s not published on their official government site (yet?), which only has up to ordinance 28 published (the anti_AG one is #29).

50k Satoshi says that nobody knows how to update the site without AI assistance, and the AI is preventing them from doing that.

Cool. Another insurmountable law that says what I can and cannot do with my own hardware and software in my own home.

Truly, this is freedom.

Certainly, this will protect the children.

It takes all of the momentum of AI-hate, and uses it to place draconian laws that completely missed the point.

The problems with AI are on several fronts, and this barely touches one of them…and not knowing much about Bloomfield IN, but it may just do nothing except shoot the town in the foot.

Do they have cheap electricity, large available lots, and significant water? Because on a municipal level, the only way a town should be getting involved in this battle is through shutting out the giant DCs that jack up the cost of electricity and sucking up all the water. That could (and should) be handled through existing zoning laws, amended as necessary.

But instead, we have people who have no comprehension of the reasons for AI-hate, just a bunch of shut-in politicians who hear “AI-BAD” getting chanted in the street, and know they have to react. They don’t know why it’s bad.

Hell even the people complaining don’t understand why it’s bad. They think every Google search summary kills 1000 baby seals or some shit, and aren’t even considering how much of their news feed is unedited unfiltered slop. They don’t know that their cool vibe-coded widget is sourced from code written by people who only wanted attribution and they won’t even get that.

They don’t recognize that the information they are getting fed to them is curated by billionaires through that AI machine.

And most importantly, they don’t realize that that includes the AI hate.

Wait, what?

You heard me. AI laws like this are fed from a pipeline of concerned and confused citizens, that starts from the billionaires that run the AI.

Why? Easy. Regulatory capture.

So yeah, no, please, no more like this. Because the last thing that the LLM industry needs is regulatory capture, controlled by this existing flock of billionaires.

It needs to be controlled, yeah, but not through knee-jerk reactionary self-inflected podiatric ballistic impact wounds.

Tl/Dr: ChatGPT is the new Philip Morris. Anthropic is Ma Bell, and SpaceX is DuPont Chemical.

Lenovo T-series is generally a good pick whenever you want to run Linux.

I’d say the same for their USFF and SFF form factors as well. Great systems for homelabs, I have several (and my laptop is a T495, and my son has my old T470s).

Problem with laptops and (u)SFFs is storage capability. If you want a NAS you need some sort of external JBOD or you will be limited to 1-2 storage disks (and possibly have to boot I.e. truenas from USB).

If you can find them with a PCIe slot (or extra m.2 slot that exposes 4 lanes at least), you should be able to get a RAID card and rig up a way to use eSATA and some sort of external disk enclosure though.

Pay attention to performance/watt. Consider different boxes for different roles if you want…I.e. ZFS doesn’t need a lot of processing power, but it does like RAM. If you have a system that can use dirt-cheap DDR3(L) like a 6th or 7th gen Intel, that may be a better choice for NAS-only.

Then use a more powerful NUC or (u)sff for proxmox and run LXCs or VMs on it.

This 1 second of film is responsible for an entire generation of furries.

Probably the appeal of forbidden fruit.

When shallow beautiful women are climbing all over you for your money, that can get tiring.

They don’t have to worry about facing consequences. To them, raping a woman or a child is no different than ordering off-menu at a nice restaurant. Just another “small” perk of being filthy rich.

There’s probably a significant amount of canonically appropriate DuckTales fansmut out there.

…sigh…it seems people think that I’m siding with Sham Faultman here. I’m not.

There are, however, absolutely benefits to consolidating tech. Lots of them. Far better compute/watt and compute/dollar. Like…significantly. It makes a lot of sense for businesses to consolidate into VMs on a handful of large clustered servers, as opposed to running a bazillion pizza boxes each doing one thing.

There are also drawbacks to consolidating tech. Lots of them. Probably chief anong them being privacy and ownership of data. And that’s a big thing.

Emphasis on “need”, I suppose.

We could have never advanced past the Commodore 64, and that only had a 10th of that.

In many ways, we would’ve been better off.

Don’t worry, he’s working on a method of bottling and distributing air for purchase, so that you can have fresh air in your home or community!

He’s partnered with Aloysius O’Hare on it.

(This is a joke. It’s a reference to The Lorax by Dr. Seuss)

He’s not wrong, just completely fucking tonedeaf.

Ok, yea, sure, from a resource allocation perspective, it does make the most sense to centralize power. Having one giant system running at 80% is more efficient than having a thousand small systems running at 20%. This is why we virtualize servers.

The problem is, we want and need our RAM for more things than having conversations with your “brain”-washed hallucinating spy-bots.

Heh “The System is Down” used to be one of the songs they’d run around the house yelling while flicking the lights.

I also work in IT, but nobody seems to get it when I reference it during an outage.

I legit thought that was a flip phone in the second frame, because I didn’t notice the knife in the first frame…and my immediate thought was “How old is this meme if you’re ranting in T9?”

I got my kids (7 and 10) singing “Badger, Badger, Badger” and quoting Charlie the Unicorn (complete with voices)…and I couldn’t be prouder.

Fembots at least fit the joke. Austin Powers was a story of a misogynistic sex-hound from the 60s trying to make it in a (comparably) much more equitable world, and Dr. Evil, fully aware of Austin’s weaknesses, used the fembots to deceive him.

Masterful joke.

Femoid is just fucking stupid.

The elephant in the room is ‘why the fuck are we gendering robots’.

Ops house must be orbiting a very massive body to be caught in such time dilation. Maybe their in-laws are visiting?

I tried using zoo with qwen3.6 and 2.5 but it failed horrendously. My card could only handle like a 16k context window with those models, and the prompt alone was like 11k.

Tried opencode and that was fast…but can’t get it to interact with system yet. More playing to do.

What a timely comment.

I recently gave my kid a gaming PC for his birthday…which I used as an excuse to upgrade my GPU from a 1660 Super to a 5060ti 16GB

Combined with a 5600x3d and 32gb of system memory.

I just started messing with local LLMs yesterday. “Getting started” is rather easy. pacman -S lm-studio (I use arch, btw), launch it, download a model that your hardware supports, and start talking.

Right now I’m working on getting it to talk to vscode.

Router is a bunch of old PCs I frankensteined and put opnsense on.

Ended up i5-7500, 8gb mem, 500gb SSD.

Put in a dual-port SFP+ NIC and a dual port 2.5GbaseT nic.

One of the 2.5gb ports goes to my cable modem.

One of the 10gb ports takes Twinax to my dumb LAN switch, the other to my dumb server switch, which right now is really just my storage network…the link to the firewall isn’t doing anytuhing.

The dumb switches I have here, though, they’ve got some sort of weird MAC learning disability. It cannot handle macflaps, which I found out about because I had a hard time roaming between APs.

So I got a Netgear GS108T and put OpenWRT on it, and that switches between my APs.

My APs are Linksys MX4200v1’s. Also openwrt. Got four of them…one upstairs, two in the ground floor, one in the basement. Can get very close to 1Gbps anywhere in the house on wifi. Not the best platform for openwrt (ipq807x), as I’ve found out…but it was a hella cheap deal for tri-band AX APs.

Nah they like shooting cans.

Ya know. Mexi-cans, Domini-cans, Puerto Ri-cans?

I swear most of mine are but nobody will admit it.
