  • You got a lot of relevant answers so I want to point out something else:

    You’re hosting your own services. By yourself. Fuck everyone with a broom who tries to gatekeep that. And I don’t mean wooden side first.

    Seriously, your question is on point here from my perspective and as long as it has a connection to running services by your own I personally would love more diversity in hosting solutions.

    Personally, I’d love to see people share more about their provider agnostic opentofu deployment or someone who went all in on AWS lambdas for weird stuff.


  • You put the finger in the wound with that ruleset though - first the negative of what you’ve said:

    if you don’t allow debt to be calculated against you fuck Up people who literally want to invest in their future (buying machinery for their dream job for example).

    If you do allow debt dedication then you get the status quo: oh I do owe a yacht but I have w huge debt on that - sure I have a collateral against that debt but here is clever accounting and suddenly the net worth of the billionaire is negative on paper.

    I really like what you’ve described, I only lack the fantasy on how to avoid this banking exploitation by peiple who are smarter and more ruthless than me. :(








  • I did refer to your original question on how there are people who disagree on the statement that humans are more intelligent: if you treat that as a question about which axiom is in effect instead of a change of arguments or makes more sense.

    You’re reference to the consciousness discussion is an awesome one btw! I would describe “closing in on a definition” as “agreeing on a common axiom”.

    But that’s not happening on a forum post where people off various backgrounds and believes fight (instead of argue).

    To make it clear: I’m in agreement with you, I only tried to expand what you already started by my train of thought on why that thread you linked is the way it is :)


  • Oh and I think that’s the root cause for your post: there can not be a common agreement of those positions because they are axiomatic, as in fundamental definitions.

    If you define intelligence one way it’s very clear that humans have more of it. if you use an (aggressive, in my opinion) species agnostic definition even tied to motivation it’s at least not that clear cut.

    Personally I’m more with you but I find the thought experiment fascinating. To quote Douglas Adams:

    “”“For instance, on the planet Earth, man had always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much—the wheel, New York, wars and so on—whilst all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man—for precisely the same reasons.”“”


  • That’s a philosophical question at the heart: how can you estimate anything like intelligence with neither collaboration nor a common understanding of intelligence?

    That’s the gust of it from my understanding: cows show patterns that we interpret as intelligence on w human level. Everything after that is by its nature is human centric.

    Personally I’m with you but it’s impossible to disprove the existence of intelligence on any other scale they doesn’t include human motivation. (I.e. the cow has s higher intelligence than any human but we don’t know any way to force or motivate it to show it in a way that we could understand.)

    It’s easier to grasp as a sci-fi concept for me: what happens if aliens come to earth but we cannot figure out their behavior, motivation, tech or thought. And they don’t (want to) manage to close the gap. How could we assess intelligence beyond the tech we see? Perhaps they just found it after all.





  • That’s what Arthur describes: you’re comparing from my point of view two non issues against each other.

    If you don’t have the profile that either warrants:

    • Google would risk business revenue by having to handle a mittm attack done by them or
    • someone investing in an elaborate scheme to get a fingerprint copy

    And that being worth it instead of just getting you personally is a very specific threat model where I lack the fantasy on what would warrant that.

    Or to give the relevant xkcd:

    https://xkcd.com/538/

    And to answer your specific question: I personally went with keepass2android and have neither issues nor concerns so far.




  • Interested amateur disclaimer!

    Fast rotating certificates always more secure because the timeframe between beach discovery and system inherent revoke is shorter.

    How big the impact in terms of real life is I can’t even guess because of the (from my perspective) weird circumstances they must happen to depend on the certificate lifetime itself.

    I guess it’s just one of these “every but helps” factors more than specific use cases.
