My fix for this is really a bad idea: I'm on Ubuntu and I just pinned the Google Chrome version before they deprecated the API If a huge security bug is found, I might need to update

Yeah, I think you're right. It's not worth it. I'll update chrome and just setup pihole

It is a bad idea. There's RCE CVEs on an almost weekly basis.

I think a full blown VPN might be an overkill. Something like tailscale is much easier to set up, even though technically it's the same thing.

That's a good setup. Tailscale, or wire guard like apps, are kindda the future. We're moving towards this more private internet where access is invite only.

I think moving it offline is part of the solution, but the main one is to actually find/fix the issues. So I guess this will require more involvement from us in open source.

This is exactly how I'm building an OS right now. I have a lot of things speced out, and for most of them also create an issue. And I have a friend that just points his claudr code at the repo and tells it to "find the next thing to work on and implement it" I then do the review, verification, etc, but a great way to used unused quota.

That is a great video, but short is very subjective, the video is 24 minutes long :))

That's not how pension funds work though. Pension funds are extremely conservative. They invest on horizons spanning decades. They can't just make decisions from one month to the next. The very short time frame of an index accepting Tesla is the problem. It's like telling a train "quick, make a right here"

And how do you suppose these rules were originally introduced? Do you believe that the reasoning was particularly solid then, and is it directly applicable in the current situation?

Yes. These rules were introduced, because that's the purpose of pension funds. To invest in very long-term ideas and assets. That's their whole purpose. I'm not sure if we're debating here about the purpose of pension funds, or their strategy of investing in index funds. The first one doesn't change, the second one, maybe.

The article focuses on sqlai (which is their product) but I think it hits the nail on the head with the idea that we're moving towards a world where we're gonna have the data closer to us. Not only from a privacy POV but also to control what the app does, and just to have your phone / web app closer to the data source. The people at self-hosting were right all along.

That was the premise of halloapp. I think it was $5 a month and encrypted like WhatsApp, and you had a feed only from your contacts. It was founded by a guy who worked for WhatsApp for a long time. Apparently it went under in 2024. I think messaging is just a commoditized service. People will not pay for it

Yeah that's a good point. With these side projects, the pleasure is in the tinkering, and just playing around with an idea
