Talk to your manager. There are - or should be - processes in place to monitor AI. Who is allowed to use it, what are they allowed to use it for. It should not be a free for all, it should be we are letting a few people do this to see how/if it works. As such you need to give your feedback on the AI responses to whoever is studying AI for use in your company.

I’m not sure what you think I’ll see in the mirror: I have a consistent philosophy that does not align with my government.

Just because Denmark has claimed Greenland for a long time does not make it right.

Self hosting will always remain a hobby thing. Most people won’t give the time need to properly admin their own system and an improperly admined system is a risk that you don’t want to take with your precious data. I can’t blame people for not doing this - there are ball games to watch, saw dust to make, kids to raise, and millions of other things to do with your free time such that you cannot do everything you might want to. Sure most people could learn to do this, but it isn’t a good use of their time.

What the world needs is someone trustworthy and cheap enough to handle data for people who have better things to do. Which is why I have fastmail handle my email. I self host a lot of other things though because I don’t know of anyone I can trust to do a good job for a reasonable price.

Ubuntu has gone downhill a lot in the last decade. I no longer can recommend it. Yes there is a large community, but they make too many questionable decisions and so doing anything “different” will be hard.

As an American I don’t approve of empires: I don’t want Denmark or France to have colonies in the Americas. That doesn’t mean I want Greenland for the US though, let them be a free country of their own (or they could join Canada).

I’m consistent here: I do not approve of having Hawaii as a US state/territory. The other worldwide territories we have: have tiny populations (Guam at 168k) and military bases are an unfortunate necessity. However if anything has or grows to a significant population (with Guam already borderline) they should be left free. Puerto Rico is at least in the Americas: they can go free if they want, or join as a state - they should not be a territory.

Not doing back office work is stupid.

the rest is a good thing as technology would just cost money for no gain. The old ways work. Pen and paper is cheap and it works unlike the expensive advanced gadgets you seen to think are automatitally good without any critical thinking.

Some do. Some do not care. Of course some in europe would label German and French different - in the us both are white.

What algorythm? I turned off watch history so all I see is turn on history notifications.

my subscriptions work so I have more than I have time to watch available.

Angles other than 90 degrees can look cool, but since the rest of your furniture is built around things with 90 degree angles, having them in your house generally wastes a lot of space.

They still can’t build F35 and other things, so the I can still make enough money.

Not if the EU buys Griffons from Sweden. In that case the US I makes very little on that deal. The amount made stands to go down if the EU starts building their own jet engines (which they already build some), and computers. Sure today they are still making some money, but not near as much as if they sold the entire F35, and long therm the amount made stands to go down.

https://www.home-assistant.io/installation/ Home assistant container - the version for docker - doesn’t support add-ons. If you go through a lot of effort you can make it work, but you won’t get help. (easiest is to install some linux in the docker and then home assistant supervised on top of that)

There is no reason HAOS couldn’t run just fine in a container (qemu not docker), but they intentionally detect that and break it (I tried, I probably could make it work but I don’t have that much time)

Home Assistant insists that it must run on bare metal hardware and will not work well. This is a purely artificial limitation that home assistant puts on you. You can work around it with a lot of effort, or the limitations might not matter to you, but it is a limit to be aware of. I personally went to OpenHAB instead, but YMMV.

Since you have Proxmox why would you switch? If you don’t like it, then by all means, there are lots of other options. However there is a good reason Proxmox comes up a lot. (I don’t personally use Proxmox so I don’t know those reasons, but the people who recommend it give every indication they are smart people who understand the problem and so I trust them enough to say it is a good option)

Best is a subjective question. There is no objective way to say what is best. We can argue about pros and cons. We can argue about what we prefer. However that is all subjective and there is no one best answer.

China is doing a lot of things that are bad for a free world. They are not the friend of anyone who likes freedom or democracy. The world should isolate them for their better. However overall freetrade is good for everyone though and what Trump is doing to Canada, EU, Mexico … is stupid.

Unions have earned their bad reputation in the US. Union management is more evil that corporate management, and corporate management is not very good.

Yes corporate management isn’t always good, but they are not nearly as bad as union management makes them out to be. Meanwhile I’ve seen the sillyness that unions enforce (I can’t plug in a network cable - that is a union job) and I want nothing to do with them. Unions need to clean up their own act before trying to get me to join. I’m not against unions, but the way they work in the US I’m very against. Start looking in the mirror and seeing what the real world is like and not your strawman vision of what you think my issues are!

Unions in other countries work very different. If you live in Europe, you have no idea what unions in the US are like, so stop.
