Good. Pay me. More. DR engineer!

Mmm. Ok.
Well, I’ve rarely heard a better use case for AI than to confound AI surveillance.
It could keep an eye on your current count and contribute extra ‘work’ if you are lagging.

Its really common for companies to not have an offsite backup. My own employer only offsites the customer data, not our core biz stuff. And I setup the offsite replication. It did not exist until I built it. (Proxmox Backup Server is tha best!)

Good luck. Parts of it read like the Bible. A good deal is really, really dry.
On the other hand, you can open it anywhere and start reading. There’s no real start or end. It’s just too big and complex to be viewed sequentially.

Would they even be able to tell if you just submitted every prompt twice, and thus doubled your usage?

Ya, this is new in that it burns money much more quickly, but its very not new in that its one more way your boss crawls up your ass.
So you waste your time and burn their money.

My CPX11 Cloud Server is apparently going from $4.99 to $6.99.
I just looked through my email. I haven’t gotten a note about the increase yet, my February bill is paid.
I love having all my music on my NextCloud on my Hetzner.
I will pay $7/month.

I think we will see the rise of human verified and curated social spaces and information sources.
Honestly, oldskool encyclopedias sound pretty good right now. 100% human curated info.
Its getting to where I would pay for that …

You are close. The original Adblock extension was mid-2000’s. Before that, we traded host files online in forums and shit. So I’ve been filtering the internet since Windows XP.

That was a grim, difficult read. The last paragraph is quite good, bringing the ideas together.

I really hate modern media. The advertising in it is the worst part, and being ingrained in every aspect of the media itself just makes it worse. I don’t watch TV, and I’ve been blocking ads since I had to curate my own host files in order to do so, well before the introduction of extensions that would do it for you. I find using today’s unfiltered internet just about as odious as watching TV.

It was hard just to read about that shit. Every word was a true, ugly reflection of the culture I live in.

Ah. Yes, it appears I’ve been using the ESU option. That was the simplest thing to do.
I use the registration utility from massgrave, added 3 years to my registration.

But right there on that page, they cover Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2021.
It sounds like that’s what I need. Stripped down Win10. I like that idea.
Thanks, friend.

The find and replace is based off of the Notepad interface.
It does support searching for newlines and such, but it doesn’t look like it does full regex.

This is the first I’ve heard of EditPadLite. From a cursory examination of their site, it appears to be written with the same general design philosophy as Metapad, albeit not as low profile. I’ll give it a tentative thumbs up.
The EditPadLite download is 18mb. My copy of Metapad is 190k. Small and fast.

I have a laptop still running Win10. I’ll look into this. Thx.

Hmm. This is what mine looks like.

Yes. Metapad is too dumb for that shit. By design.
It’s only barely smart enough to be better than Notepad.
It’s not smart enough to do anything dumb.

Its free, extremely mature, and you already know how to use it.
Metapad is a feature-for-feature drop-in replacement for Notepad.

I miss oldskool Notepad being present on the system. Win11 Notepad is a worthless piece of shit.
But … any computer or vm that I use for more than a few hours gets a copy of Metapad.

I’ve been using Metapad for … umm … decades.
Metapad is a simple, extremely lightweight editor, intended to just barely be better than Notepad, fixes a lot of shit that MS never did and stays simple.

Yes. Exactly.
Also, heres those two numbers in binary.
15 = 11111
21 = 10101
So, those are special numbers. Its straight up cheating.

Scribble understands the importance of evidence-based science. :]

Technocrit buried the lead when they posted this. Here it is with the actual paper highlighted.
