Very funny that Google decided to increase the cost of every search by probably at least an order of magnitude and this is the garbage they get in return

Or are you telling me that vastly the fastest growing platform in history with multiple payment gates (subscriptions, pay per token, licensing etc.) was not profitable

Are you not aware that 99 times out of 100 if you see a tech company rapidly growing it’s completely unprofitable and not even attempting to be profitable yet? It’s called blitzscaling and is pretty clearly what openai is attempting. Like if you see a tech company quickly growing you should be assuming it’s unprofitable until proven otherwise not the opposite lol.

Cheap source of calories/filler?

Just a no name knockoff killawatt meter, I think it was $10-15

My desktop Jellyfin/aarr stack and nextcloud server runs about 1.2kwh/day. So not bad but not free

Sounds like Israel needs some personal finance lessons.

Step 1) make a budget

Step 2) cut down on avocado toast

Step 3) stop buying bullets, bombs and missiles to indescriminately use on civilians

I use PIA because it’s cheap as dirt. I don’t use their client and I have it setup so exclusively my torrent client uses it. It works for my use case because I’m pretty much just trying to avoid nasty letters from my ISP. I wouldn’t trust them with any of my regular traffic because they’re sketchy and there’s got to be a reason they’re so cheap.

Although I would consider what your usecase for a VPN is - ie what attack vectors are you trying to protect against when using it for regular traffic? There’s arguably very little a VPN does to protect you on public WiFi and also opens you up to new risks

Shouldn’t need one if you trust your seedbox provider to not log. And even if you don’t trust them you’d need to find a VPN to trust more and they’re almost all super sketchy.
