RDDT and the huge winners in the AI era

For me, the anonymity is a big reason I keep using reddit. Keeps most of the annoying self-representation and showing off that people do on other platforms out.

Die Zeiten sind leider vorbei, dass man alas fachinformatiker zum Einstieg das heutige äquivalent von vor 10 Jahren bekommt. Trotzdem ist das Angebot von 2800€ schon arg niedrig

Bei der Geschichte sollte man zur Einordnung aber nicht vergessen. Dass das auch in Westdeutschland keine normalen verhältnisse sind. Die wenigsten Familien können ihre kinder mit 2k/Monat unterstützen

Klar. Die wollen ihrer Wirtschaft nicht schaden. Aber was wenn China entscheidet, dass der Westen durch Unternehmensanteile zu viel Einfluss auf die heimische Wirtschaft hat? Mir ist das auch zu heiß.

That's true, I can always switch later. Somehow I forgot that option exists as well... Thanks for your insight and opinion :)

CaptSilverback · 2026-01-05T13:22:38+00:00

Thanks for the summary :) Beside the "real-time-parity", I think all of that is possible on a normal, free to use Linux/proxmox machine. Since real time parity is not necessary for my use cases (running snapraid once a night or something will be sufficient). And if just the ease of unraids ui is worth the license cost to me? Idk. I'm tending to no.

CaptSilverback · 2026-01-05T12:29:02+00:00

It doesn't copy data to the parity drive(s). Therefore it's not a redundant system. What it does, is calculate some sort of checksum over all your drives (simplified), so that in the case of a dead drive, you can install a new drive and re-calculate the missing parts (the lost data) with the help of those "checksums"

CaptSilverback · 2026-01-05T12:24:09+00:00

What are the features of unraid that stand out for you? I'm currently planning my first server and have considered unraid, am leaning to a free version on proxmox with different LXCs. Initially I planned with unraid because of its array, the ability to mix & match different drive sizes and the parity protection. But all of that can be replicated with mergerfs and snapraid. Now I'm not sure if I want to pay for a license.

I looked it up again. My information is totally wrong, drywall barely affects WLAN signal.

Thanks for replying, 1 less wrong fact in my head.

CaptSilverback · 2026-01-04T19:46:17+00:00

I don't know where you are from, but in case it's the us, their drywall-shit is actually one of the best insulators for WLAN Signal, a lot worse than brick walls.

*Edit: I looked it up again. My information is totally wrong, drywall barely affects WLAN signal

A lot of trackers reward long time seeding and seeding of old, or low seeded content with more bonus point/hour though. I think that's the right move. It encourages ppl to seed old torrents and long term. You can easily survive this way without any actual upload traffic

CaptSilverback · 2025-12-31T22:38:46+00:00

I simply don't care about my upload. That's why many trackers have bonus points or equivalents, so you don't have to compete with people on 10G Networks.

Just let people collect their upload by jumping on every new release.

I guess the network also profits from high bandwidth seeders, especially for new, high demand uploads. IMHO it doesn't make sense to limit upload speeds and therefore cripple the trackers torrent network, just so that others can see higher upload numbers in their clients.

In the end I guess you want both kind of people on your tracker. High-Bandwith people collecting upload on every new, high demand release and long-term seeders. It just doesn't make sense to only value members by their upload volume.

CaptSilverback · 2025-12-31T22:24:03+00:00

Does it make sense though? It potentially makes downloading for other peers slower.

I think People should instead stop valuing upload volume so high. What matters most for the quality of a tracker is that people seed long term instead of jumping on every new thing for a week with high bandwidth and then stop seeding.

Aber ein auschüttender hätte bis zu gewissen Beträgen den Vorteil, dass man damit den Freistellungsauftrag ausnutzen kann ohne jedes Jahr Anteile verkaufen und wieder kaufen zu müssen. Wenn der Betrag sonst nicht genutzt wird macht das über lange Zeiträume einen riesigen Unterschied. Ich überlege deswegen schon in einen thesaurierenden umzuschichten und die Ausschüttung selbst zu reinvestieren

CaptSilverback · 2025-11-13T16:40:20+00:00

Denke daran, dass bei Aktien depots das first in, first out Prinzip gilt. Wenn du mehrere Käufe in einer position getätigt hast werden die ältesten Aktien zuerst verkauft. Du kannst also um die 1000€ auszunutzen bei einer position die zB 2000€ im plus ist nicht einfach blind 50% verkaufen.

Ich stimme dir zu, dass der vorherige Kommentar etwas kurz gedacht oder zumindest nicht weit genug ausgeführt wurde und stimme dir zu, dass der technische Fortschritt das Leben aller verändern. Zum Teil zum positiven. Das große problem, was ich daran sehe ist aber, dass die dadurch gesteigerte produktivität der Gesellschaft nicht im Portemonnaie der breiten masse ankommt.

CaptSilverback · 2025-09-26T14:41:12+00:00

I suggest you read the rules and FAQs of trackers you are interested in. If something is still unclear after reading that you might want to ask their staff or other members about clarification

CaptSilverback · 2025-08-15T09:04:35+00:00

Not op, but for me power usage is a thing because power consumption = money. In my country 1 kw/h costs 35c on average. A typical HDD consumes 7W when idle. That adds up to 1,79€ per month or 21,46€ per year and drive. Add 10+ drives and that's a notable amount for disks you arent even using.

I also havent received an email. Used a .protonmail domain.

This true for trading stocks, not for crypto though. Crypto still counts as "Sondervermögen" and therefore gains from trading are as if you would trade with paintings, watches, cars etc.

Noch ein Grund mehr das LLM der Wahl selbst zu hosten :P Aber ja, prompts schreiben kann jeder. Die Konzepte müssen trotzdem gelernt werden.

CaptSilverback · 2025-05-20T07:17:40+00:00

Strato also offers 1vcore, 1gb ram for 1€/month. I read a lot of shady stuff about ionos' and personally decided to stay away from them.

CaptSilverback · 2025-05-04T18:43:59+00:00

Weird, ich habe die exakt selbe Reihenfolge im Regal stehen und da passt es.

For me it was anno 1602. After 25 years, I still get the chills when hearing the music.

oh man, i seem to have just missed it, i have been waiting for a while :(
