Supreme Court weakens federal regulators with Chevron overturning, threatening net neutrality, right to repair, big tech regulation, and more ( www.theverge.com )

The downfall of Chevron deference could completely change the ways courts review net neutrality, according to Bloomberg Intelligence’s Matt Schettenhelm. “The FCC’s 2024 effort to reinstitute federal broadband regulation is the latest chapter in a long-running regulatory saga, yet we think the demise of deference will...

Personally, I take comfort that the executive will be weakened as it looks more and more likely that we're about to have a wannabe dictator coming to office.

I'm a big fan of cheap (as in ~$10/yr vps) and reverse proxy over wireguard. My home ip isn't exposed and I'm able to quickly spin new containers up by updating my reverse proxy config and adding a wireguard peer.

I keep two VPSs- one as reverse proxy for all my miscellaneous services and another solely for email. The latter port forwards raw traffic over wireguard to my email server container. That way, even if the VPS gets compromised, my personal data remains secure.

I end up paying ~ $30/yr (+ whatever I'm paying in electricity) for domain + VPS. It's a bit more involved than tailscale, etc, but I'm willing to put in a little extra work to make sure I'm not at the mercy of some company getting up to some rent-seeking bullshit.

Racknerd via the coupon @ Low end box.

The full price is like $24/yr, so even if it goes up, meh.

If only there had been another widespread, wasteful prior use of expensive and power hungry compute equipment that suddenly became less valuable/effective and could quickly be repurposed to run LLMs...

Same here. There's plenty I might like to change here and there in life, but absolutely nothing on this front. Celebrating 11 years in a few weeks, best decision I ever made.

Now, the first time... Well, second time's the charm, it would seem.

Looking for a 4 wheeled pedal vehicle (quadricycle?) ( parbikes.com )

I would like to find a vehicle that is pedal powered (with the possibility of electric assist) that my wife and I can ride and transport our 3 dogs (all are over 70lbs) around town. We live in a small rural town and take our dogs to just outside town every morning and walk with them. One of the dogs has hip dysplasia, and is...

Have you searched for a "surrey"? Maybe you'll have better luck with that?

Is there a good reason I don't know about to prefer this over Aegis?

The only option that fits your budget today I can think of would be picking up one of the old xeon combos off of AliExpress. I spent like $100 on a MB+CPU+64GB DDR4 combo with a 2880 v4 I think. 14c/28t at any rate. You can probably grab a case/power supply/video card used for under $50 on eBay.

Please note that I'm not saying that this is a good option; it took a lot of fiddling for me to get mine running smoothly. But if you've got more time and patience than money, it might work for you.
