So let me tell you about Ralph Nader in 2000…

…there’s an inside. It’s a concert venue. They make money by selling people tickets to shows.

Never heard of this guy before your post. He is a YouTuber who may have done time for human smuggling? Why would he be a better reporter than the actual news orgs on the ground?

Spez is Steve Huffman aka Pig Boy. He is current CEO of Reddit and one of the founders. Users largely blame him for the enshittifcation of Reddit over the past couple years in pursuit of profit.

Aaron is Aaron Swartz. He was also a co-founder of Reddit. He was very dedicated to the idea that knowledge should be open and free. He got caught downloading JSTOR articles in violation of JSTOR’s ToS. The feds charged him with CFAA felonies and faced 35 years in federal prison. He killed himself while awaiting trial. Really sad shit.

The implication is that Aaron never would have stood for this sort of profit-motivated enshittification.

The Postal Service (or technically FedEX or UPS). Worked for The Postal Service.

Just switched to iCloud last week. Yes, it does catch-all (although it needs to be enabled through a checkbox in one of the settings menu). It also does sub-addressing / plus-addressing natively (no menu setting needed), which doesn’t seem to actually be documented but it works flawlessly for me.

I’ve been extremely happy with it so far. Pairing plus addressing with some of the filtering rules allows me to direct bulk mail to the right place automatically. For whatever reason, filtering rules can’t be done on iOS but need to be set through icloud.com (not sure if they can be set on macOS).

My server closet was a mess. I kept justifying it by saying I didn’t need to waste money on proper rack equipment. Finally cracked and upgraded to a 15u rack and got some 3D printed rack housing for some of my non-rack equipment. Everything looks so clean now. Vanity project? Yes. Expensive? Yes. Am I happy with it? Yes. Do I wish I did it five years ago? Yes.

Do it. Go a little bigger than you need. Airflow. Expansion. Whatever. I probably could have made an 8u work but I’m happy with a 15u.

Eh. Frigate+Shinobi on Docker has been the simplest solution I’ve found. ZoneMinder was always difficult. BlueIris was a resource hog.

Shorting an IPO. Lol. The float will be tiny until the lockup comes off.

Thank you for making my point. That’s not salary. That’s equity sold in a secondary.

He’s rich not because of his salary (what Reddit pays him). He’s rich because of his equity/ownership in Reddit. But he can only monetize that if there are buyers.

For years this wasn’t a problem because private buyers and banks were happy to buy his shares or lend against them as collateral. However that market has been drying up over the past 18 months.

So he desperately needs to get to an IPO so he, and his Board of Directors and other stockholders, can dump their shares on an unsuspecting retail public market that doesn’t realize that the “profitability” was only achieved by destroying the user base, and that what they’ve actually bought is a ticking time bomb.

I replaced an old prebuilt Windows Home Server with a custom built server running unraid about…7 years ago. unraid has been rock solid for me. Great product. Very scalable for the home user.

Highly recommend unraid and it’s well worth the one time license fee.
