Fair. You are right that the “lesser of two evils” situation is fucking bullshit. To be fair I also think you are also right that a lot of Democrats are on Israels side… but I also think that the Democrats is more splintered internally. Like I would have a hard time seeing any Replibicans joining a free Palestine protest, but I’m sure it’s a lot more popular among Democrat voters.

I also wish that the US, and more countries around the world, would sanction Israel, and they should have done so long ago.

I do not agree that sitting out is the right choice though, and when the choice is between Trump and literally anyone else I think that the lesser evil is clear. You even say yourself that things were better for you before Trump, and I absolutely think that Trump is the worst choice for Palestine. I mean didn’t he literally attack Kamala during the campaign for even a weak protest against Netanyahu? Not to mention him straight up joining Israel in the war against Iran.

The US has always been rather strict with immigration so of course there has always been arrests of people being there illegally, and subsequently somewhere to detain them. It’s not like ICE is a new agency. Also, I believe a key nuance is that there were also an increase of immigrants following Trumps first term, which probably contributed a lot of the overcrowding result from that.

Could they have done better? Absolutely, but at least they’re not actively trying to make it worse.

I guess the main disagreement here is that voting for the Democrats is somehow voting for a genocide. Why do you think that they are openly supporting a genocide? It’s not like they were involved in starting the conflict. Maybe Biden could have done more in his time in office, but if you are not responsible for the issues Republicans cause, why are the Democrats responsible for Israel’s acs?

I guess you’re right though that I am a privileged European that are not really that impacted by the state of the world yet. Though it would have been nice with continued stability in the western world instead of a breakdown of our cross continental alliance. There is also something deeply unsettling about having a probably senile vindictive old man being at the head of the worlds largest military.

Okay, now I know you are arguing in bad faith. This is just a straight up lie. Like I cannot believe the utter stupidity to imply Obama in voting for empowering ICE in an issue that escalated the past year. What relevance can any vote he did a decade ago have to this?

I’m out.

It’s not only about the numbers, it’s about the methods and policies. Obama didn’t send ICE in to target specific cities of political opponents. He did not try to revoke the constitutional birthright citizenship. He did not push ICE to capture and deport people without due process. Under Obama, people didn’t feel like they had to have their passports on them out of fear of getting detained because they looked foreign.

I feel like you’re arguing in bad faith now tbh.

Which Democrats agree with that? Do you have anything to back up that claim?

I don’t see how that is relevant? They’re still both acting on behalf of the Republican party. It’s not like Trump personally is the problem, the whole party agrees with and enables everything he’s doing.

Are you referring to that ICE had Detention facilities before Trump? Of course they did, but did Obama and Biden pack them so full of people that the conditions were near as bad? Not to mention ”Alligator Alcatraz” which is a clear escalation and seems very designed to be cruel.

I think maybe the question is what you think the Democrats have done to make you think they would make the situation worse for Palestine?

Like, my point is that the situation would at worst be the same with the Democrats in charge, but at least you wouldn’t have concentration caps at home.

Everything that happens makes a whole lot more sense if you view Trump as the anti-Christ, and his following is the false prophets that I believe the Bible specifically warns about. (but to be fair I’ve mostly read condensed summaries on this)

Whatever you need to tell yourself to feel morally superior I guess.

At the end of the day the question is, if the people who didn’t vote Democrat due to Palestine would have voted, would that have been enough for the Republicans to loose? If so, you are kind of responsible for the ICE raids.

Of course the follow up question: If you care so much about Palestine, why are you choosing to not vote against the party that is very openly on Israel side in this conflict and absolutely will not do anything to pressure Netanyahu? Did you really believe Trumps claims about being the president of peace?

Nah man, this is just some divisive bullshit. How many people have you converted by leading with telling them they’re getting cucked? I think it’s a much greater chance that if you ’accuse’ someone of ”cuckloading” they will just become defensive.

I am also a bit impressed how quickly you brought US politics, slavery and world wars into a discussion about online privacy.

Jesus Christ this is such a toxic attitude…. If you want people to take you seriously I don’t think being an ass about it and rage-baiting people is the right strategy.

I’m like 90% sure that this post is AI Slop, and I just love the irony.

First of all, the writing style reads a lot like AI… but that is not the biggest problem. None of the mitigations mentioned has anything to do with the Huntarr problem. Sure, they have their uses, but the problem with Huntarr was that it was a vibe coded piece of shit. Using immutable references, image signing or checking the Dockerfile would do fuck-all about the problem that the code itself was missing authentication on some important sensitive API Endpoints.

Also, Huntarr does not appear to be a Verified Publisher at all. Did their status get revoked, or was that a hallucination to begin with?

To be fair though the last paragraph does have a point, but for a homelab I don’t think it’s feasible to fully review the source code of everything you install. It would rather come down to being careful with things that are new and doesn’t have an established reputation, which is especially a problem in the era of AI coding. Like the rest of the *arr stack is probably much safer because it’s open source projects that have been around for a long time and had had a lot of eyes on it.

Worth noting that despite the headline this does not have anything to do with the huge outage in the end of 2025.

The company said the incident in December was an “extremely limited event” affecting only a single service in parts of mainland China. Amazon added that the second incident did not have an impact on a “customer facing AWS service.”

Neither disruption was anywhere near as severe as a 15-hour AWS outage in October 2025 that forced multiple customers’ apps and websites offline—including OpenAI’s ChatGPT.

I would also have felt some level of schadenfreude if it turned out that any of the really big incidents in the end of 2025 was a result of managements aggressive pushes for AI coding. Perhaps that would cool off the heads of executives a bit if there were very real examples pf shit properly hitting the fan…

The free version is mainly just a number of user and device limit. Although the relaying service might be limited as well, but that should only matter if both of your clients have strict NAT, otherwise the Wireguard tunnels gets directly connected and no traffic goes through Netbirds managed servers.

You can also self-host the control plane with pretty much no limitations, and I believe you no longer need SSO (which increased the complexity a lot for homelab setups).

That seems to be the terms for the personal edition of Microsoft 365 though? I’m pretty sure the enterprise edition that has the features like DLP and tagging content as confidential would have a separate agreement where they are not passing on the data.

That is like the main selling point of paying extra for enterprise AI services over the free publicly available ones.

Unless this boundary has actually been crossed in which case, yes. It’s very serious.

My guess is that this is a propaganda effort meant to counter that EU countries is putting pressure on social media to moderate hate speech and importantly disinformation.

Having an official US government site means both that it will have higher apparent legitimacy (compared to a random X post) for people who want to believe. It’ll likely also mean that there is no European corporate presence to pressure so the only option would be to escalate to blocking the entire site, which I don’t see happening tbh.

That is kind of assuming the worst case scenario though. You wouldn’t assume that QA can read every email you send through their mail servers ”just because ”

This article sounds a bit like engagement bait based on the idea that any use of LLMs is inherently a privacy violation. I don’t see how pushing the text through a specific class of software is worse than storing confidential data in the mailbox though.

That is assuming that they don’t leak data for training but the article doesn’t mention that.

This article feels a bit like ragebait.

Yes, this happened once with a company that went bankrupt 2 years after launching their product. They seem to have designed an exceptionally poor product. How does this mean that the enormous engineering failures of this small startup applies to all other car brands?

Most cars have a very clear separation between core driving software and the infotainment, and the vast majority will never have any software updates so what works, will continue to work (or the other way around). At worst you’ll loose stuff like remote commands, wheatear info, list of charging points/map updates… Things that are kind of dynamic and needs to be regularly updated.
