  1. @TheExecEditor hm. In general, I truly believe humankind would already greatly profit in unimaginable ways - for good - if we manage to be content with what we have already.

    We have *AMAZING* cool tech: software and hardware.

    Slow things down.
    I want #longterm longerm-stable ;)

    Like me using #raspberrypi as infrastructure backbone since 2012 =24/7: #dhcp,#dns,#cups,#storage,#tftp,... - and #stableIT like that is worth it, these days

    Just saying :P
    Recently changed the USB PSU. That's it.

  6. SPARE CHANGE: THREE KEY PRINCIPLES TO BASE YOUR INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO ON

    Over the next few months, we will talk about investing, starting from the basics and building up to where and how you can actually put money to work. 

    At its core, investing is simple—it is putting money into something today that you expect will be worth more in the future. That could be stocks, a home or part of a business. The goal is to grow your money over time. 

    Why invest instead […]

    The way to quiet the turbulence of a mob is to withdraw your hand, and let it quiet itself; to concede today, may be the best way to succeed tomorrow.

  11. Podcast Episode: The Most Important Lesson from Mutualism: Save Now

    In the late 19th century, when workers in northern Chile arrived to work in the nitrate fields, there were no pension funds, no public health insurance, and no unemployment benefits. They had something more fragile yet more powerful: organized solidarity. It was called mutualism.

    What Mutualism Was

    Mutual aid societies and workers’ associations were nonprofit organizations created by workers for workers. They emerged to cover needs the State at the time did not address: healthcare, death benefits, education, housing, and a basic pension. Their financing mechanism was straightforward: each member paid a monthly fee. Those funds went into a common pool used to support members in need.

    At its peak, between 1891 and 1924, the mutualist movement was the most important social organization in Chile. It paved the way for trade unions, political parties, and the social legislation that governs labor today.

    The Paradox of Decline

    The irony of mutualism is that the very social laws it helped advance eventually made mutual aid societies less essential. As the State assumed responsibility for healthcare, pensions, and labor protection, mutuals lost their core purpose.

    Today, 223 mutual aid societies operate in Chile with approximately 40,000 members. Their benefits are largely limited to death allowances and burial space. The giant that helped build modern Chile now lies dormant.

    The Enduring Lesson

    One lesson from mutualism has not aged: no one is coming to rescue you. Not then, not now. Mutualists understood this 130 years ago and built their own social security, contribution by contribution. They did not wait for the State or employers to act; they took action.

    Today the context is different, but the principle remains. We live in a world of uncertainty, with inadequate pensions, rising healthcare costs, and persistent job instability. The collective response of mutualism is no longer available in the same way. The individual response of saving is.

    Saving as an Act of Freedom

    Saving is not for the wealthy. It is for anyone who understands that the future is built through present decisions. The power of compound interest—where saved money earns returns that generate further returns—works exactly the same with five thousand Chilean pesos as with five million. The only determining variable is time.

    The question you should ask today is not whether you can save, but how much you can start saving now. Because the best time to start was ten years ago. The second-best time is today.

  23. A quotation from Carlyle

       The last quality, perseverance, I particularly respect: it is the very hinge of all virtues. — On looking over the world, the cause of nine parts in ten of the lamentable failures which occur in men’s undertakings & darken and degrade so much of their history, lies not in the want of talents or the will to use them, but in the vacillating and desultory mode of using them — in flying from object to object, in starting away at each little disgust, and thus applying the force which might conquer any one difficulty to a series of difficulties so large that no human force can conquer them.
       The smallest brook on earth, by continual running, has hollowed out for itself a considerable valley to flow in: the wildest tempest, by its occasional raging, over-turns a few cottages, uproots a few trees, and leaves after a short space no mark behind it. Commend me therefore to the Dutch virtue of perseverance! Without it all the rest are little better than fairy gold, which glitters in your purse, but when taken to the market proves to be — slate or cinders.

    Thomas Carlyle (1795-1881) Scottish essayist and historian
    Letter (1822-03-15) to John Carlyle

  28. "Never trade your future reputation for a short-term paycheck" - Futurist Jim Carroll

    --
    Futurist Jim Carroll is writing a series, The Art of the Infinite Pivot, based on 36 lessons from his 36 years as a solo entrepreneur, working as a nomadic worker in the global freelance economy. The series is unfolding here, and at pivot.jimcarroll.com.
    --

    When you are working on your own, you are tempted to chase every single opportunity - but often,you should question if you should.

    Think about it - in the global freelance economy, the temptation is to be a mercenary. To chase the quick win, the easy gig, or the trendy buzzword that pays today but disappears tomorrow. But in my 36-year voyage, I’ve learned that the Infinite Pivot is only possible if you plan to make sure your reputation is one of your most important assets.

    In my career, I’ve walked away from lucrative opportunities because they didn't align with what I thought I should be doing. I’ve turned down gigs that would have compromised my voice for a short-term gain - those that were from obvious hustlers promoting conferences or events that seemed rather shady or dubious. Why? Because when the world shifts—and it always does—your only real security is the integrity of your long-term perspective.

    A few weeks ago, I turned down an inquiry from a tobacco company. A few years back, I told a client I wouldn't take on the topic they wanted around cryptocurrency because I thought they were pretty unrealistic with what they wanted me to promise. (I turned out to be right.) I've passed on certain healthcare events where the topic bordered on fraud. Beyond that, I feel pretty confident to say that I can easily discern a hustler as soon as they start talking with me or send an email. It's an invaluable skill.

    Short-termism is a trap. It makes you a slave to the current market cycle, or being associated with things you shouldn't be associated with.

    Most profound pivots don't happen in a vacuum; they happen because you’ve spent 30 years building a foundation of trust. People don't just listen to me because of the data; they listen because I’ve been consistently right about the direction of the curve for three and a half decades. That kind of authority can't be bought; it can only be built, stone by stone.

    When you build for the long term, the short-term disruptions become minor weather events rather than catastrophic storms.

  30. You don’t need to go viral.

    You need to be valuable.

    One useful post a day beats
    chasing trends that fade tomorrow.

    Play the long game.
    That’s where real growth lives.

    Posting when engagement is low…

    That’s the real edge.

    Stay in the game long enough — you win.

    Comment on this video (which us not shown on my Fedi instance, yay federation!)

    tube.kockatoo.org/w/63cGWTvhzq

    I cannot believe that that GPU is not usable for video work. That is what GPUs are made for!

    Poorly, there are a few caveats:
    - there are always more DEcoders supported than ENcoders. I guess not being able to play a video (it would play but be less efficiently decoded on the CPU) is worse than being bound to #h265 instead of #av1 for recording.
    - thus it makes sense that GPUs generally work flawlessly for gaming, as that is just displaying videos (or rendering content, which is kinda different, no idea why video codecs are more difficult than rendering methods)
    - for every video format out there exists an encoder. If you use software rendering (on the CPU), you can use ANYTHING. Like encode to modern (and free!) AV1 using #svtav1 on any old CPU.
    - if you want to encode videos on a GPU, you need drivers, but also a different encoder. On #NVIDIA you use #NVENC (NVidia ENCoder), for example nvenc_x265 for h265/HEVC videos. On #IntelArc (and afaik AMD GPUs), you use the #QSV (quick sync video) library which builds on top of #VAAPI, which is open source. So you can encode to AV1 using qsv_av1 for example.

    What encoders are supported depends on the GPU a lot. Intel Arc seems to have supported the free, efficient and future-proof AV1 codec the earliest, but also the older free codecs VP9 and VP8 (also used in webm), like in a GPU I recently bought used. My older NVIDIA GPU only supports H265, which is proprietary and often less efficient than AV1 (not always, video codecs are black magic).

    As OBS can use your GPU for video capture (encoding), the issue is purely in software support.

    I only have experience with #ffmpeg for re-encoding videos, but that is also in many video editing tools. Try if you can get them somehow.

    For NVIDIA I needed the latest proprietary drivers (#NixOS makes this extremely easy, can recommend) and ffmpeg, nvenc worked out of the box.

    For intel Arc I used the regular drivers included in the kernel, but after adding the QSV runtime to my "hardware.graphics.extraPackages" I needed to recompile the entire kernel. Using a #longterm kernel (currently 6.18) makes this more viable... longterm XD.

  35. I'm very sceptical to #digital HR-tagging tech, like #idaustria:
    Driving the "said to be free" public to freely select to irreversibly "donate" their #biometric #metadata to "some companies":

    1. face
    2. fingerprints

    And encourage children to grow up finding this okay and necessary. Over devices known to be quite permanently under control and surveilance by "some companies"?

    Hm. Safe?
    Option 3. "yubikey" (another company) - already saying TODAY their program is end-of-life??

    😕 #longterm?

  36. Short term thinking alone can have devastating results without including long term planning. They need to go hand in hand for an optimal outcome. #shortterm #longterm #planning #risk #results

  37. A quotation from Hyman Rickover

    A preoccupation with the so-called bottom line of profit and loss statements, coupled with a lust for expansion, is creating an environment in which fewer businessmen honor traditional values; where responsibility is increasingly disassociated from the exercise of power; where skill in financial manipulation is valued more than actual knowledge and experience in the business; where attention and effort is directed mostly to short-term considerations, regardless of longer range consequences.

    Hyman Rickover (1900-1986) American naval engineer, submariner, US Navy Admiral
    Speech (1982-01-28), Joint Economic Committee, U.S. Congress, 97th Congress, 2nd Session
