Discoverability issues as per yesterdays search giants methods of crawling the web.

It’s quite clear that companies like Google and Microsoft are vulnerable in the search game right now.

I mean in the end you’re probably right, but if there were ever a time for a well-funded group to take aim at the suddenly low barriered entry, I think this is probably Custer’s last stand.

Their procurement policy is basically “has it been recommended? Is anyone else using it? Is it cheap?”

I work in public sector.

Market to tax funded institutions. If you can market “self hosted” as cheaper and easier than mother solutions you’ll have guaranteed clients for a long time.

That’s why I downloaded the top 250 non-text posts from 250 different pornographic subreddit when they announced the API bullremoved over a year ago. I got an old man style static spank bank like playboy magazines in the 70s on my home server for safe keeping.

I should probably scrape the top 250 from this past year from my favorite 20 or so subs manually or find some automated way that still works 🤔

This is the way.

If they paywall their porn, the site tumblrs off a cliff.

It is absolutely a dangerous life lol.

I keep everything backed up. It was a temporary purchase that I fully did not expect to last 5 years.

It’s literally been a clicker since day 1 lol.

No failures. No slow reads. Just a zombie beast.

I’m using a western digital refurb HDD. 14TB.

running 24/7 pretty much since the pandemic. It’s basically my media server.

I ask if they’ve heard of mastodon because most people with any ties to the internet have. Then I say there’s a new wave of platforms that are all federated, kinda like how like someone could send an email from a user @aol.clm to a user @msn.com or whatever, which means there’s no real way to centralize the platforms.

Fitting.

Che Guevara stood against Imperialism, Colonialism, Capitalism, economic inequality, Oppression/dictatorships, social injustice, racial inequality…

Y’all can downvote all you want. The joke was apt and the commentary was on point.

Go read a book.

The comrade pun on the .de and Russia and Germany being enemies in two world wars, and Russian ideology being more in line with Che than any leader of Germany is the icing on the cake

Just…go Read a book.

1. Che Guevara’s Ideology: Che Guevara is known for his Marxist and revolutionary ideology. He was a key figure in the Cuban Revolution and is often associated with anti-capitalist and socialist movements.

2. Germany’s Political System: Post-World War II Germany, particularly West Germany and the reunified Germany, has been a capitalist, democratic nation. East Germany (GDR) was a socialist state, but it no longer exists since Germany’s reunification in 1990. Modern Germany is part of the European Union and is considered a strong advocate of democratic values and a free-market economy.

So, using a German country code top-level domain (like .de) for a website selling Che Guevara merchandise creates an amusing contrast. It’s the juxtaposition of a domain associated with a country known for its capitalist and democratic principles being used to sell merchandise symbolizing a figure who opposed those very principles. This contrast is what makes the joke humorous and pointed, highlighting the importance of being mindful of the historical and political connotations of country code top-level domains.

There, I had chat GPT explain it for you.

Edit, also: “comrade”, Germany. Idk, Google it?

It’s more like just because you can make a funny domain name out of a specific top level domain like .af Make sure some country doesn’t have dibs on it first.

Like it wouldn’t be smart to start a business selling che Guevara merch at comra.de.
