Mine died after 2 years after a power cut.
I havent tried to debug it yet. At the time, it would power on but a monitor didnt see anything from the video port, and it didnt seem to actually boot.
I presume it is toast.

If you dont need compact, a rebfurbed SFF with a 4 port network card is gonna be cheaper

Without revamping the US to the extent that others are suggesting (like education, free mental & physical healthcare, better benefits even UBI... which tackle the root causes and issues), and more of a "4 years, gotta get it done, gotta make it stick" style legislation...
Require insurance and licencing for firearms, same as cars.
Different levels and uses of firearms require different licnences and insurances.
Licences gives the government some check.
Insurance will essentially enforce it.
No sale/transfer/ownership without valid insurance&licence.

Disagree.
Education is safety.

People not knowing how to store and handle firearms are a huge liability.
Not training as in "how to put 5 center mass in 5 seconds".
But training about how kids get hold of guns, correct storage, correct safeties, correct loading, correct holding.
Even things like how to defuse situations, how to identify actual threats, stuff like that.

I remember when i was a kid, i went to a police precinct and got to play on their training simulator. I completely missed the fact there was a gun on the floor and died to someone i didnt see, instead of the obviously hostile person i was "talking" to.
Training like that, except maybe less "police" oriented.

Yeh, but its such a grey area.
If the result was for security only, potentially could be passable as "essential" processing.
But, considering the scope of content posted on reddit (under 18s, details of medical (even criminal) content) it becomes significantly harder to justify the processing of that data alongside PII (or equivalent).
Especlially since its a change of terms & service agreements (passing data to 3rd party processors)

If security moderation is what they want in exchange for the data (and money), its more likely that reddit would include one-way anonymised PII (ie IP addresses that are hashed), so only reddit can recover/confirm ip addresses against the model.
Because, if they arent... Then they (and google) are gonna get FUCKED in EU courts

Depends where and how its applied.
Under GDPR, IP addresses are essential to the opperation of websites and security, so the logging/processing of them can be suitably justified without requiring consent (just disclosure).
Under CCPA, it seems like it isnt PII if it cant be linked to a person/household.

However, an ip address isnt needed as a part of AI training data, and alongside comment/post data could potentially identify a person/household. So, seems risky under GDPR and CCPA.

I think Reddit would be risking huge legal exposure if they included IP addresses in the data set.
And i dont think google would accept a data set that includes information like that due to the legal exposure.

Its a loose-lose situation

Where does it say they have access to PII?
I would imagine reddit would be anonymising the data. Hashes of usernames (and any matches of usernames in content), post/comment content with upvote/downvote counts. I would hope they are also screening content for PII.
I dont think the deal is for PII, just for training data

Bro, me too! I bet there are almost a dozen of us!

Those docs look pretty easy to scale mastodon. What am i missing?

What does the CI/CD pipeline look like for this?

Routing, NAT and firewall are pretty complex things because its the backbone of everything: phones, websites, enterprises, government. It all uses the same tech. And very few networks are the same (the exception being consumer broadband home networks).
The money for development is in the products for enterprise, so they have to have all the tuneables available and seem hugely complex to non-specialist users.

So, there arent really any "easy" router/firewalls that are also flexible.

Ubiquiti & TP-link do Software Defined Network stuff, abstracts away a lot of the complexity. But as soon as you want to do anything complex, you are digging into CLI and might as well use something designed for that.

OpenWRT is apparently pretty good. Ive never used it.

I now use OPNSense. Essentially freeBSD set up as a router/firewall, with a nice webGUI and loads of flexibility.
I feel like this is what you are looking for

I also dable in Mikrotik routers, and im considering moving to their RouterOS... Or even one of their appliances.

openWRT, OPNSense, RouterOS can be installed on your own hardware. So you could use an old desktop, stick a decent network card in it and use that with a bridge modem.

Yeh, if he bought twitter for 44B, and there are 400 instances then that is still 110M per instance if he were to do that again.
Even 10% of that amount is more than an instance is worth.
Sales can be made pretty quickly when they are massively overvalued.
