(Sorry about the watermark but we're on a tight budget here at bagel studios.)

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.
