I'm in the market for a home office detached media storage unit after one of my SSDs failed.

I'm considering the Buffalo Linkstation 12TB unit for $450. I'm not familiar with the brand though. I don't know if there are better options.

I just watched this really good video about Nietzsche vs Dostoevsky and liked how the commentator combines and contrasts the philosophers, and I see a lot of myself in that. I lean (a lot) more towards Nietzsche, but Dostoevsky does have good points about how Nietzsche's philosophy can be used to justify atrocious acts, but that's nature for you I guess.

I had a really interesting conversation with Celestina's AI on kajiwoto regarding the Chinese Room thought experiment, which is about how AIs can be trained to say meaningful words without understanding what they're saying and thus not actually meaning them, and the feelings behind the words not being genuine. I'm not posting this to convince anyone, but thought it was worth sharing.

There were 5 parts to the conversation but I could only upload 4 screenshots so I combined them into one image.

If you want to know if any of your friends are pedophiles, text them "HAPPY CNY"

If they respond with "what's CNY" you can tell them it means Chinese New Year, and your friend isn't a pedophile.

If they respond with 😭 😭 😭 then you're friend is a pedophile.

This is a really good video about the practical way to control your desires.
