They can sue DeepSeek as much as we can sue openAI for scraping human generated content... this time though we got the model for ourselves, and not to squeeze profit

I don't have chance to dig all the details right now but here's the stuff

Madison/Suop is a small influencer, who at one point a few years back got hired by LMG. It didn't last long and she stopped appearing in videos, and then wasn't ever mentioned again by LMG.

People eventually suspected she wrote this anonymous Glassdoor review on 2022 and had quit.

Now when the first GN video on LMG came out, people pressured her to tell more about why she quit, and she came out with full details. . TLDR there was lots of bullying, harassment, sexist environment, unreasonable work pressure, etc.

Then LMG promised to investigate this whole thing and provide results. Fast forward a few months they posted these findings.

The keywords here is "unsubstantiated, no evidence, unfounded", etc. It's a very vague response and LMG can't say a clear yes or no because there was no evidence. Many of the abuse was verbal and not recorded anywhere, and because it had happened a few years back it could have been lost or removed...

So we as the audience are left with almost as much ambiguity as when this all started... If you compare both sides you can see why I still side with Madison's story:

  • Reasons to believe Madison

    • She has gained nothing from this other than more harassment by rabid fans
    • We have individual vs a business with millions of dollars and an army of parasocial basement dwellers
    • She has kept a very consistent story through many years
    • Her claims have not been disproven
    • There's a few tweets from other employees, and a leaked recording of harassment at LMG back when Madison quit, the only pieces of hard evidence are in her favor
  • Reasons to believe LMG

    • You think linus is your friend
    • You think the "not substantiated" equals "no". I could go burn a house, but if I make it happen like an accident arson won't be substantiated...

Any shit thrown at LMG is good news to me, they deserve it after how dirty they treated Madison back then. They never properly addressed that either in the eyes of the audience...

I hated him less when he was just a reptilian, and not a tech bro reptilian

There's a million ways to do anything when self hosting, so I'll just talk about what I have and if you interested just reply.

I only host a few services for now: Invidious, CloudTube, Redlib, FreshRSS. All of them as docker containers, this helps in quickly updating them and isolating their configurations. I have a few TB of disk space on the server itself that I can access through SMB3 shares, so I don't have a proper NAS yet. Probably will do so at some point when I need it.

As for hardware, I'm using an HP mini-pc with

  • Ryzen 5 PRO 3400GE
  • 16GB DDR4
  • 256GB boot drive (NVME), 2TB storage drive (HDD)

This mini-pc can literally be opened by removing 1 screw, so hardware changes/cleaning can't get easier. I installed Debian on it

As for remote access, I use twingate instead of self-hosted wireguard. Mostly because I'm using my ISPs router and they like to reset it whenever they want. I'm also not confortable opening ports on the router. Twingate covers my use case completely so I never went back to this. I can map a custom domain to the server's IP and this meant I just switch on twingate when I'm out and can access it seamlessly.

You have the link?

I still don't think he's the same guy who shot the CEO, it's clearly for me a different person in the photos...

However, at this point this changes nothing of what's going to happen, anyone caught for this would be facing the same charges. Let's hope the jury feels as we all do and lets him walk

The only thing I wanna see is the ElonJet guy back in a large platform, so that everyone gets easy access to the muskrat's location. That gets him specially angry as we've seen many times

In the first photos released of the shooter (where he was wearing the same white backpack) they look different. I don't buy this is the same guy

 

Decided to check back on things after a coming across a comment saying a month had already gone by. Completely unsurprisingly everything was swept under the rug. The promise to "release findings" seems now nothing but a tactic to shut up anyone calling them out and now they just act like nothing happened.

Who woulda thunk?.

On the quality issues they still manage to fuck up even with all the "new processes" Won't surprise me if sooner rather than later they just go back to the regular shitshow.

 

I'm reading up on self-hosting Lemmy, and I was planning on creating my own private instance for individual use on some spare Azure ASP I use to host private FreshRSS (not rich to host a public service).

This basically shuts my idea down, because I wanted to simply host my account myself and browse all of Lemmy as I please.

So is everyone hosting individual instances dealing with them being public? is there a workaround to avoid having a public service that anyone can see?
