  • How much does your VPN cost?

    Also, whatever Firefox puts out there is not gonna be slower than TOR which has 3x the encryption and routing overhead of a typical VPN and also has no SLA guarantees at all. There’s a reason a middle-ground exists between no tunnel and mega 3x tunnel, and there’s nothing wrong with saving a few bucks if all you want to do is not be as profitable to data aggregators

    TL:DR; stop making shit up






  • “Yeah not sure why it’s not showing up, it looks like it’s connect to my wifi”

    PBR with openwrt, then don’t give the ring’s fw zone access to jack except for their ping service, or whatever it needs to show online without video. Or just block it entirely.

    TBF, if you’re not running FOSS at the edge of your network you have don’t have the full view what’s going on anyway.

  • So, reading that study, I have a few concerns about how it was conducted and my concerns generally aligns with their findings. Primarily, their source for information is the payroll system of the companies studied, which in my experience is nothing more than an HR drone entering into the system what they’re told to enter. If the prescribed reason is AI even when it was really business performance, then that kind of aligns with the study in the OP.

    Their graphs of roles most and least exposed to AI disruption is dandy, but if you think about it (with the exception of customer service roles) the jobs that are threatened are typically not production roles for the company, and are moreso ancillary positions for most companies. I’m a software engineer for a company that doesn’t sell software, which means I’m more of a luxury than a necessity; this is true for the majority of software engineers.

    The roles least exposed to AI, according to the study, are production roles that play a core role in the product delivery of the company. Things like construction workers, nurses, cooks, etc. are only in businesses where they are the core of the business model. I’ve never seen a movie theater chain employ nurses or cooks in droves, but they have employed secret shoppers (auditors), accountants, software engineers, etc. and are likely to trim that fat when times get tough. I think this is more of an economic health indicator than anything, IMO.
