Of course. Need to be extra cautious so you don’t get a surprise bill for your birthday.

That’s what I liked more about Oracle as compared to AWS or GCP etc’, is that you need to manually upgrade your account to paid account. and if u don’t then you just can’t create another machine or another block storage.

But still it’s extremely important to read every word so you know what you’re getting yourself into.

no problem!

So what if you took my king hostage? Yours gonna have nightmares from seeing my entire horde die before him! ha! you may have won the game, but ah… ahhg… you may have won! but I…! you’ll see me!!

yeah that’s very odd…

You can pirate the sheets out of Songsterr. It’s probably the most popular site for music sheets. I didn’t find a convenient way, but I was able to:

1. use Ublock Origin to remove all distracting elements.
2. Optional: log in and change to light theme
3. screenshot and print.

I didn’t find an add on, or a way, that let me save the page as is. they always block it. so only screenshot is what I was able.

You can run your searxng on a VPS, and then it’ll hide your IP address.

In most cloud provides you can also change your machine’s IP address so there’s also that.

that’s gonna make it very slow tho…

Oracle have a great free tier. For free (not a trial, but forever free), you can get a virtual machine with 24gb RAM, and storage of 200gb. you might wanna consider that.

If you do choose to use oracle, I’ll note you that you do need a credit card, tho it’ll not be charged unless you manually upgrade your account to paid account.

I’m not advertising them, I just really think they’re great and I’m using it myself.

Holy industrial revolution

yes. and no, it’s not the bare minimum. You perceive a very specific definition of anarchism, and act like anything that’s not exactly what you know/do is just not anarchism anymore and is just wannabe edgy liberals.

How can you even fence so hard a term such as anarchism? just let people be and believe what they want.

you’re now just this conservative guy screaming in fear because the world is not what is used to be when you were at your 20s.

cool down. It’s okay to be an anarchist just online, and it’s okay to take “irl actions”, as you call it, and not see yourself above everyone else.

that’s some really dedicated gatekeeping for anarchism…

Time’s not really something you can save or spend or waste, like you can with money or food.

I don’t like terms that make it sound like that. “Save some time”, “this is a waste of time” etc’. I’m really gonna philosophize about that for long, but I’ll stop here.

Back in the day, people got their last names based on their profession.

Karl Marx was actually born without a last name. He was a bastard and didn’t know his real parents.

Throughout his life he changed his last name a couple of times, but when the end was nearing, and he reflected on his life, he changed it one last (haha) time: from ThatCommunisWithTheBeard to Marx. And was quoted saying “lol what did I think going with this long last name. gonna cost a ton to write it on the gravestone. Also I’m a Marxist so it kinda make sense, right? right? is anybody here??”

But no one was there, when he took his last breathe, except for me of course. But that’s a story for another time…

thanks! it actually makes much sense.

welp guess I was wrong. so back to .edu scraping!

I think it’s running Raspberrian. I wanted something Debian based, and thought the official image will do (it does).

Specifically on my Pi, I’ve set it up in such a way that even if it loses power or internet, I won’t need to do anything for it to be back up.

But I did have lottts of problems on my VPS. programs crashed, Out Of Memory crashed the OS… really, no shortage of errors. And I had service there I used all the time like music.

So what I did is use Termux on my phone. this way I could SSH to it from anywhere. Just click the button, run a few commands and be back on with my day. It’s the most convenient way I’ve found. being able to do it from my phone on the go. And since it’s CLI it was much easier to do. Just run the command needed and leave.

If you want I can elaborate on what Termux is and how I used it here.

I have a Raspberry Pi myself, and after the initial setup there’s not much maintenance needed. it just works as expected. the services hosted on it have their own respective Web Pages or APIs or mobile apps, depending on the service.

note that installing additional software to access your Pi will take up system resources like memory, storage, and bandwidth. So take that into consideration, and how much the other services consume.

and in due time, we’ll hack OpenAI and get the sources from the chat module…

I’ve seen a few glitches before that made ChatGPT just drop entire articles in varying languages.

No and no.
