  • Clarification, google (and amazon) are giving anthropic acces to some of their chips (compute).

    This mirrors Microsofts funding in openai, which was mostly just azure credit.

    Same thing with ai companies investing with free generation tokens.

    These companies aren’t providing money just sharing some resources that they would otherwise exploit for profit.

    They are giving each other monopoly money blow jobs and the result is headlines and securing coordinated market domination.



  • It can get blurry if you look for it but generally the things you use almost every day and the place you sleep and store the items you use almost everyday day are hard to argue against.

    Almost all the reform that needs to happen is on a scale where things are very obvious. Corporate property should be owned by the workers. One tech company buying an entire game studio where the same workers work should be too absurd to mean something.

    After this we could discuss common ethics like what is a good reason for a person to own a personal yacht or plane? If that is a live in yacht and that is part of their life style sure. Owning 4 and a castle… that should need More restrictions.

    And someone lives in a historic castle there family has lived in for generations thats ok. But owning a portfolio of historical building they exploit economically, not so much.

    There should not be a centralised authority to decide on smaller stuff that common sense cant handle. You don’t call something non personal that you don’t want anyone else to take either. The closer we build towards a fairer world the more people will have access to fill their needs the less they have a reason to become jealous of others.

    I won’t pretended to have a solution on how to get this done in practice but its a direction to move in at least.


  • Second this, i definitely recognize a difference but its the first time i hear it as potentially relating to marx.

    Your necklace given to you by your grandmother is not to be redistributed. space where you live and sleep is yours to protect.

    The factory enterprise you bought on paper and visited exactly once before installing a manager to organize below, the workers produce that you stocked up in a hangar. The by government maintained old forest that is technically considered part of your land. That is where ownership is a problem.















  • Currently my setup for YouTube In jellyfin is pretty basic (but it works well)

    Its one complex yt-dlp script that runs ecery hour, reads a list of channels from a txt file. Rss to check the last 2 vids per channel, if there not downloaded already (log with vid ids per channel) it starts to download on high quality preset, filter out shorts and “live”, if the result is getting above a certain size it aborts and tries again with lower quality preset.

    I don’t have a system to auto dele yet cause the script is only for my favorites. For everything else or that uploads to regularly i host a local invidious.

    But google really hates invidious and it breaks frequently, even got my original residential ip banned. I may take a look at tube archive cause i would prefer download and delete as a more stable flow.

    Something else i am experimenting with is using the same data in multiple systems. My music collection is a proxmox dataset but as long as the read rights are good i see no reason why jellyfin can’t also read those files.

    The output folder of ARM used to be its own library in jellyfin on my first server.


  • Yep, definitely talking to myself again

    Jokes aside, i haven’t seen you mention anything for media streaming.

    I highly passionately recommend Navidrome for music. It is my absolute favorite and most used self hosted service.

    For acquiring media like film and music depending where you live ripping those from your local library is in some places arguably a protected fair use. (Comes from the time mp3 players became common and runners used to take rented cds in their walkman outside before). In my experience, 480p dvd is much higher quality then internet 480p streams and the total size is much smaller then what you find in downloads.

    ARM can help you automatically rip these as long as you have a drive in your pc. I got ARM running in a proxmox lxc with drive passtrough but that honestly was a pain to setup so not sure you should go that exact route, either way the moment arm is functional its smooth sailing and your only concern becomes storage space.
