I looked into buying a solar charged battery bank. This product category is completely dominated by no-name 3rd party sellers. 🚩
Charge time is key. No listing had even a rough estimate for solar charge time. 🚩
An example unit claims max solar power 1.13 w, with enough battery power to charge an iPhone 14 Pro twice. Working from that, you'd need ~25 hours of full sun to fully charge. I'd roughly estimate that means at least 3 days in summer. Not quite worthless, but close…

Oh, gut dass ich nicht bei der Bank mein Konto habe:

KI-Banking: DKB kooperiert mit OpenAI
Die Deutsche Kreditbank will dank einer Kooperation mit OpenAI eine Vorreiterstellung beim KI-Banking einnehmen. Erste Projekte wurden benannt.

Found this: #serverless tools and their consequences.
We're going to see many more of these in the comming years thanks to #vibecoding .
#BigTech companies love these synergies between #CloudComputing, #generativeAI businesses and occasional incompetence (NOTE: not saying that all these horror stories are tied to incompetence, many times is due to malice on the services provider side).

Happy , today I deployed a #Forgejo instance to manage my private code projects. I won't be using #Github anymore for my stuff, only to contribute to 3rd party projects.
I still have some pending work to configure the CI workers, but I'll leave that for next week.
Along the way I've learnt some stuff about #OpenTofu and networking. Enough to know that I still prefer to be on the dev side of the "devops" .

#Tesla shares are kind of slowly recovering their past price.
I suspect it's not just people "buying the dip", but also "the market" reacting to boycotters being caught.
Please, be careful, be smart, don't get caught.

Just deleted my post about zirk.us...
They may be the best instance in the world...who am I to judge?
If anyone got evidence of any wrongdoing please provide it
...and also if they were under attack by spammers we can help them by reporting the spam.
Also remember to:
Gather Evidence!
Gather evidence for any instance on the fediverse being under attack or where there are signs of a "Fedi Civil War".

I guess there's no real need to explain why I'm doing this, but there's always someone who was lucky enough to be living in the jungle for a while (or something like that), disconnected from everything.
Hypothetical jungle person: I envy you.
Summary: I'm tired of big corporations stealing everything they can to train their #LLMs, and I'm also tired of companies like #Microsoft being active collaborators of the Trump regime.

Anyone noticed how the characters in the Alien movies (the ones about Rippley) got progressively dumber as new chapters were released?
Don't remember it? Try to watch them in a row, it's astonishing. It's a good "exercise" because them being part of the same series makes it much easier to make comparisons.
I'd say that's what makes a big difference between the first one and the rest, not the plot in itself, but how idiotic are the characters after the first chapter.
