New comment by abnercoimbre in "Going from streaming music to collecting CDs"

Not quite there myself, but I'm gearing up my homelab to host a media server with tailscale.

EDIT: I guess I could collect CDs again and rip them!

> Also, basically no one makes router hardware in the US

I find that surprising! What was the CHIPS Act for? I agree with your remaining statements.

Many of us screamed we were overpaid plumbers. May we now reap our just desserts.

> human.json is a simple decentralized mechanism created by Beto Dealmeida to discover human-authored websites and for owners of such sites to declare authorship.

Interesting to see new experiments to help establish human trust. Another one is Botwatch [0] coming out in a couple days.

The reverse is true: asshole bosses who do right by workers quietly. Sometimes they're public assholes and privately terrible though. But sometimes (perhaps very rarely) they're openly caring AND do the right thing behind curtains.

I'm not saying anything groundbreaking here. Humanity is complex and varied.

This is a fairly recent phenomenon: I'm a longtime Small Web user and even I struggle with this massive influx of AI posts. I'm hopeful it will be addressed.
