> “Rebuild everything in one command and have it work” is not something that I’m chasing after and I am skeptical that it would work anyway. I'm not using "rebuild" to describe rec…

Not OP, I’m not really sure what your specific complaints are based on the original comment. They seemed more like general/nonspecific concerns, which left the comment pretty open …

Can you share more about what made you move away? I’ve been running a NixOS based homelab for awhile now with 5 physical hosts and about 30 NixOS containers/VMs in an Incus cluster…

Surely not 30 years bad.

If you gave up at 50, that means you skipped the difficult words.

Ahh, makes sense.

I'm not really following your logic here. I'm not arguing against the idea that consciousness is a spectrum. If anything, I'm agreeing. I'm just pointing out that if AI is somewher…

Fair, but I still think we're discussing slightly different things. I'm not arguing that "maybe AI is conscious" is absurd.

I understand what you're getting at, but I think you may be misinterpreting me slightly. I'm not outright dismissing the possibility that AI could be conscious; I'm saying that if …

But what kind of complexity is that? And why would we conclude that AI has it while other incredibly complex systems (e.g. earth’s habitats, the universe itself) does not? I’m far …

Could be! I think the broader thought experiment is about examining why we think LLMs specifically might be conscious vs other complex systems, even if it is a spectrum. For exampl…

If there's any reason to take seriously the idea that AI is conscious, we must then take seriously the idea that many other non-living things are conscious. Unless the argument is …

> So, if we had an AI demonstrating symptoms of consciousness and suffering, how long would it take for you to accept that it is? Isn't this a bit like saying "So, if we had proof …

This is anthropomorphizing a concept that is quite unrelated to the meaning of the word in the human context. When a car runs out of gas, it's out of gas. It's not "tired". When yo…

Have you set up Tailscale and have you set up OpenVPN from scratch? Because these two things are not alike. That’s why I’m pushing back a bit. I find it difficult to imagine equati…

On the one hand, I agree with a lot of what you’re saying here. With that said, I don’t think it’s reasonable to describe setting up Tailscale as similar to “Linux server that runs…

I've used OpenSnitch for years, and while LittleSnitch definitely has a better UI for showing which process is making which connections over time, OpenSnitch does a pretty good job…

There are plenty of reasons to criticize OneDrive and I personally would not use it. But I think comparing it with a weekend vibe coded self hosted project is a bit of a stretch.

What experience?

Calling out the fingerprinting of extensions is appropriate and can be achieved without hyperbole. As I’ve stated clearly throughout this thread, the fingerprinting they’re doing i…

So are fonts. But running Window.queryLocalFonts() is not equivalent to “illegally searching your computer”. I’m not defending the act of scanning for these extensions, and I’m of …
