Elon Musk says he needs $1 trillion to control Tesla's robot army. Yes, really.
I just don’t feel comfortable building a robot army here, and then being ousted because of some asinine recommendations from ISS and Glass Lewis, who have no f**king clue. I mean those guys are corporate terrorists. Lemme explain the core problem here, so many of the passive funds vote along the lines of what ISS and Glass Lewis recommend. Now, they have made many terrible recommendations in the past that if those recommendations had been followed would have been extremely destructive to the future of the company. Now, If you’ve got passive funds that essentially defer responsibility for the vote to Glass Lewis and ISS, then you can have extremely disastrous consequences for a publicly traded company if too much of the publicly traded company is controlled by index funds. It’s de facto controlled by Glass Lewis and ISS. This is a fundamental problem for corporate governance, because they’re not voting along the lines that are actually good for shareholders. That’s the big issue, I mean, that’s what it comes down to. ISS Glass Lewis corporate terrorism. -Elon Musk, Tesla Q3 shareholder conference call, October 22, 2025
Elon Musk says he needs $1 trillion to control Tesla’s robot army. Yes, really.
Elon Musk, who's spent years engaging in questionable public advocacy, just said he wants to "control" an "enormous robot army."Jameson Dow (Electrek)
just leveraging his pre-existing family wealth and connections to do so?
Oh he is absolutely pulling himself up from his bootstraps, his are just made out of emeralds.
Fortunately he isn't going to build a robot army. His cars can barely follow the road so I can't imagine his robots would present much in the way of of a threat, except quite possibly in the extent that they would stand on your foot although even then they'd probably fall over.

If you skim through his piece, at least watch the 2x 30s videos, really drive the point IMHO.
I learned some advisors at firms who usually follow Glass Lewis recommendations are taking unusual steps to request investor input specifically on Tesla.
Apparently enough passive investors are dissatisfied enough to want a direct say on Tesla.
It was interesting to learn about shareholder voting.
- Apparently, shareholders get a non-binding vote on executive pay due to say-on-pay legislation.
- The SEC carries juicy documents on shareholder voting proposals & letters to shareholders by other shareholders urging them how to vote.
Voting proposals from shareholders & their letters reveal great dissatisfaction with Tesla.
Major shareholders (investment groups, pension managers, state treasurers & comptrollers) wrote a scathing letter urging other shareholders to vote against directors up for re-election & to vote against proposals the company favors.
We write urging you to oppose the reelection of Directors Ira Ehrenpreis, Joe Gebbia, and Kathleen Wilson-Thompson (Proposal 1), the Amended and Restated 2019 Equity Incentive Plan (Proposal 3), and the 2025 CEO Performance Award (Proposal 4) at Tesla’s Annual Meeting on November 6, 2025.Since the last annual meeting, we have unfortunately witnessed both the erratic performance of Tesla, Inc. (the “Company” or “Tesla”) and the Board’s failure to provide meaningful real-time oversight of management. The Board’s relentless pursuit of retaining its CEO seems to have harmed the Company’s reputation, led to extraordinarily high levels of executive compensation, and delayed progress on meeting key goals like full self-driving (FSD). The Board, a majority of which is made up of directors with close ties to the CEO, now asks for Tesla shareholders to approve a series of proposals that grant it broad discretion to execute an estimated $1 trillion pay package, as well as grant awards through a new reserve created specifically for Elon Musk. These pay packages provide so much discretion to Tesla’s Board that shareholders cannot be confident of impartial treatment. In summary, there is an urgent need to address these issues to preserve long-term shareholder value for all Tesla shareholders, which we believe justifies voting against all directors up for election this year, as well as the Amended and Restated 2019 Equity Incentive Plan (the “A&R 2019 Equity Plan”) and the 2025 CEO Performance Award (the “2025 Performance Award”). We believe that approval of these items is not in the economic or financial interest of Tesla shareholders for the reasons set out below.
Their clarifications are interesting: they highlight issues with the conduct of the board & CEO
- declining company performance (sudden decline in sales) & waning competitiveness with rivals like BYD & other manufacturers
- board's lack of independence from CEO jeopardizes shareholder value
- board members are CEO, friends of CEO, or have served long tenures
- the CEO lacks focus on the stable, sustainable returns of the company & its shareholders while the board still awards him extraordinary pay packages & shares at discount
- has leadership roles in several companies
- leadership of US DOGE negatively impacted company’s performance & brand
- the CEO fails to focus the company's own resources on the company (diverting them to other companies), and the board "seems uninterested in getting concrete commitments from Mr. Musk, and unwilling to develop a CEO succession plan of their own"
- the board of directors is overpaid by earning 8 figure compensation when the "Average director compensation in the S&P 500 in 2024 was $327,096.13"
- the board ignores mandates from previous shareholder votes, and acts to weaken accountability (supermajority voting rules, not all board seats up for reelection each year) & erode shareholders rights (adopted a Texas law to increase requirements for shareholders to sue the board for breach of fiduciary duty prohibitively far above federal standards)
- their proposal for a $1 trillion award in shares to the CEO lacks stringent conditions
- undemanding product goals
- vague terms
- conditions open to board discretion
Given the Board’s historical willingness to allow Tesla to commit substantial resources to projects that are personally beneficial to Mr. Musk but that fail to produce benefits for Tesla shareholders – most notably the Solar City acquisition – we lack the confidence that this Board will only recognize the accomplishment of these goals by the CEO in the fullest and most demanding way.
- the award increases power of an unaccountable CEO at substantial expense to shareholders of earning & voting power.
outside Tesla shareholders could experience a dramatic long-term dilution in both their voting power and the value of their equity relative to opportunity costIf Tesla were to experience similar ups and downs over the next decade, outside shareholder value would increase at 10.8% per year, inferior to the price return for the S&P 500 from August 2015 to August 2025.
If Proposals 3 and 4 are approved, this year may be one of the last times that public shareholders have a meaningful voice in the Company and its leadership given the level of dilution that is likely to take place. Beyond that, the Company’s own disclosures make clear that the motivation to deliver these pay packages is driven by increasing Mr. Musk’s voting power, with no formal commitment to focus his time, attention, and Tesla’s own resources on Tesla. Further, we lack confidence that this non-independent Board can oversee the CEO toward a future that maintains stable and sustainable returns for Tesla shareholders.
This SEC 14A filing lists all the proposals up for shareholder vote.
A good number of shareholder proposals the board opposes concern board accountability to shareholders
- assert shareholder rights: either repealing restrictions or safeguarding them from restrictions enabled by Texas that would disqualify the vast majority of shareholders from submitting proposals or suing the board for breach of fiduciary duties
- elect each director annually
- require only simple majority approvals.
The others concern better public reporting & oversight on senior executive pay & transparent audits on child labor dependence throughout the supply chain.
To promote an independent board of directors accountable to shareholders & to restore shareholder rights, I suspect Glass Lewis and ISS will vote against all board members & company-favored proposals and vote for all shareholder-favored proposals.
Seems about right to follow their recommendations & oppose Musk on this.
I just want this guy to die. Oh, I will be so happy when it happens.
And all the other ones as well.
LOL
Elmo Musk literally is not an engineer or even understands basic engineering. All the real world engineering done at his company is done by actual engineers
What is his part in all those processes at jos companies, you ask?
Lying.
Literally lying. Its the only talent that Mr. Elmo has. Its the one thing he constantly does, at levels comparable to Trump.
Most claims he makes about any of his companies products are just plain lies. Tesla full self driving? Not even close, and by now i wonder if they're actually capable of getting a Tesla off a parking lot without crashing it, let alone do a full cross country.
Same for SpaceX, where we definitely will go to Mars!never mind that reaching low earth orbit is about 1% of that task and he still can't do that without blowing up his starshits. Hey, at least they blew up a banana over the Indian ocean.
Wanna know what Elmo's contributions are?
Cyber truck.
Launching the car that was supposed to be for the founder of Tesla into low earth orbit just to he an asshole
The "idea" to use intercontinental ballistic rockets to transport people to the other side of the world "in 30 minutes". This one I really really really do want him to try because tickets are CEO only expensive and nothing would make me laugh more than a bunch of stealing assholes all paying a million or so to just blow up on the launchpad.
Talking about launchpads, remember that Florida launch with a starship with a boat load of engines that also ~~failed~~ was a complete success because "it left the launchpad" and anything beyond that was extras? Yeah, that launchpad was absolutely obliterated, cars parked various kilometers away got pelted by concrete debris, an ecological area got polluted, and the launchpad was left in rubble because Elmo decided that flame diverters, you know, those things used since like the sixties of the previous century really weren't necessary.
That is of course keeping in mind that he US tax payer paid 3 billion to take the US to the moon and well, that too is about at 1-2% mission completed, there is nothing remotely ready.
Do I even have to mention Hyperloop? "Its just another air hockey table, its not that hard!"
Meanwhile he keeps asking Tesla for a trillion dollars as well, even though he just got a gold package from Tesla that was light the highest payout in human history, even though Tesla makes a fraction of the cars that large brands make, ans even though he sent the extremely overvalued company (overvalued thanks to his constant lying about aaaalll the great things that are right there ready, just around the corner if you only pay me more money!!) right of a cliff with his Nazi antics combined with the laughable Nazirustbucket he designed..
This is the guy asking for just a trillion dollar bro, I will make this work, bro! TRUST ME!
As far as they can, that is
That rocket launch that obliterated a launchpad was Elmo's meddling, for example
Actually he doesn't. Most of his 'wealth' is Tesla shares already. Even if he could toss everything he has just toward controlling more of Tesla, and if the shareholders accepted it at current market value, he'd only have a third of the company.
Tesla is crazy over valued for a company that has only been able to be a car company that is in 14th place, yet assessed as being more valuable than all the 13 more successful car companies combined...
Sociopathic Oligarchs have a serious form of OCD/ Hoarding Disorder, that makes them crave even more money, no matter how much they have.
If they were hoarding cats, or rusty cars, or old refrigerators, or piles of scrap metal, etc., the authorities would intervene, and get them help for their mental illness.
But if they are hoarding money on a historically mind-blowing scale, they call them a successful businessman, and give them government grants and tax breaks.
If they were hoarding cats, or rusty cars, or old refrigerators, or piles of scrap metal, etc., the authorities would intervene, and get them help for their mental illness.
This is a common misconception.
“The authorities” (USA viewpoint) are really extremely unlikely to intervene in any way at all with hoarding, and even more extremely unlikely to provide any kind of useful mental health intervention.
If the hoarding is causing a public safety hazard then the authorities may eventually start fining the hoarder until they do whatever is minimally required to clear the hazard.
Much much more likely, if the hoarder is renting, the landlord may evict them which is one of the many paths to homelessness.
But by far the most common outcome is that the authorities do nothing whatsoever to stop or help with harmful hoarding behavior.
In this way, crazy aunt Florence and Elon Musk are similar.
Was there ever a hope that the customers buying the robots would control them?
MechaHitler controlled robot in my home or business is not a good marketing plan. Chinese companies are well ahead in robotics, and they have manufacturing customers, battery and motor research/leadership, lower bill of materials, plenty of AI skill. No reason to believe Tesla will be first or better.
No reason to believe Tesla will be first or better.
When has Musk ever been first or better? he even botched his penis.
Musk has nothing to do with either. The roadster was in production before he even bought into Tesla.
All the early Tesla engineers had left to start other companies. Everything since has been shit. The semi , the Cybertruck, the new roadster...

Absolute fucking MORONS have taken over the world, and are wrecking it.
IF we ever get our country back, we have to go forward with a national strategy that we no longer have to be polite to treasonous MAGA scumbags. Everytime they open their mouths they should be shouted down with screams to shut the fuck up.
We should never have to tolerate the opinions of stupid, violent traitors.
throws around A1 without having the first clue how it works.
Just open the bottle and pour it on your well-done steak?
They'll all pretend they were never MAGA, why are you still going on about Trump, we're trying to look forward, etc.
This is exactly how the GOP disowned the Bush II Administration with the Tea Party.
And that's when we have to scream the loudest, and absolutely refuse to give their gaslighting any credibility at all. If you were a Republican during this era, then you are a MAGA Traitor, racist, rapist, incompetent, intolerant, violent, stupid, pedophile.
And you ALWAYS will be, forever.
I asked a buddy that works at Amazon about the outage and he pointed me to this article.

I know quite a few people who currently work there and pretty much all of them are trying to leave.

DevOps is one of the most automated parts of software development and deployment actually.
Article seems like complete bullshit anyway.
Most of my work in DevOps isn't in front of my text editor writing scripts. It's spent hopping between dashboards, drafting emails, doing RCA, teaching dev team members how to use pipelines, and getting requirements from them for designing new pipelines. Then inevitably debating with them about design considerations when they ask for a set of procedures that won't pan out.
Until your AI is a fully fledged team member who everyone can feel comfortable engaging with as if they were a real human, you cannot possibly begin to automate this.
Most of my work in DevOps isn’t in front of my text editor writing scripts.
Mine either - we use azure devops, octopus, etc - tools that automate devops. Most of devops is automated across the board - no big companies are manually kicking off builds for every PR and pushing the files around the place and then manually deploying them - it's all automated using devops tools. Having AI build and manage these pipelines seems like a logical place to use it, as they are all just about creating steps using pieces from previous steps and other systems.
You absolutely could have AI create a pipeline to build, test, and deploy a solution, and then test the actual deployed solution. The AI is essentially just the coordinator here, tying together the other devops tools.
....noooooo, it most definitely isn't.
While the job does deal heavily in automating things, it only automates Boolean things. Looking at a platform and seeing why and where it's failing is not a Boolean thing, and never will be. It's the same reason we still don't have machines that repair cars over 100 years after their introduction.
Looking at a platform and seeing why and where it’s failing is not a Boolean thing, and never will be.
AI can see why and where it's failing too if it has the appropriate permissions and access.
It’s the same reason we still don’t have machines that repair cars over 100 years after their introduction.
No it's not. DevOps is all software, repairing cars is not. Car ECUs can tell you exactly what is wrong with your car.
🤣
Okay bud, go and tell AWS, Google, Salesforce, and any other of these companies who think "AI" is an answer to everything, because they've all had very public outages due to this exact same thing in the past few months.
You have no idea what DevOps is or how it works if you think any of this is easily done or solved with these junk tools.
AI in devops caused their outages?
Do you even know what Octopus is for example? Azure DevOps?
Already replied to that and showed why you're wrong.
I do DevOps and Software Dev for multi-billion dollar companies btw.
Been running Ops teams for decades, kid. Look at alllll the people agreeing with me, and disagreeing with you. You have the unearned wisdom of a struggling Junior Dev. If you had any experience, you'd know how embarrassing it would be to attempt to brag about working for "multi-billion dollar companies" 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yes, those big, big companies are where ALL the good engineering jobs are at. Where all the interesting work is being done 🤣🤣🤣🤣
My GAWD, child. W O W 🤦
Nice try but no cigar.
If you think that DevOps isn’t one of the most automated parts of software then you’re doing DevOps very wrong. Do you do manual builds and deployments every single time? No CI/CD?
You are not reading or understanding comments, child. That's not what I said whatsoever.
You're of the opinion that DevOps engineers can be automated away. I proved you wrong. Now you're talking about the tooling, which is in my first comment to you. Automated tooling is NOT all DevOps is, and the fact you think shows me you're unseasoned in whatever it is you do, have no concept of the role.
It would be people like you who would not pass the first round of interviews from answering a question about this topic exactly as you've stated, because you don't understand the core function of the team, and you're role in it.
You make some code, and obviously have no idea how to run it, let alone at scale. All the working pieces of a platform at large need to be understood and vetted by a DevOps team in order to make it run, and run well. That's understanding everything from start to finish, in ways you wouldn't be able to comprehend being one part of team that is building one part of a platform. You can't make an agent that understands all the underpinnings of all the services or metrics, and why they fail, that then takes action on them, because it's not something AI does. Case in point, the AWS outage and others I mentioned.
Now, you could make MANY agents that take actions on many things, but that doesn't give situational awareness or comprehension to any singular agent, something AI also doesn't do. That's what DevOps teams do.
I don't even need to keep arguing with you about this, because the down votes on your comments speak for themselves. I'm just trying to educate on your false understanding about how it all works so you don't stumble through your career making the same comments and mistakes.
“Child” 🤣
You thinking you proved someone wrong doesn’t make it true. I never said that DevOps engineers can be automated away 🤣
You’ve given yourself and your agenda away by blaming AI for the AWS outage. It wasn’t AI that made the mistake, it was people.
My career, likely in a position well above yours, is going great thanks 😀

I know there's doubt as to the validity of the claims. I only want to say this: when "AI" takes jobs, who is there to plug things in to make the "AI" machine go?
Sounds like Amazon fucked around and found out.... Allegedly.
Yeah I don't trust the source, but I've heard a ton of articles saying they've been replacing people with AI.

Gravity has killed people.
But above all, humans have killed people.
If I wanted to live, I'd go live with the sharks.
The article is saying that these sharks aren't really sharking though. The sharks behavior has been changed by environmental factors (regular human feeding and humans raising the local sea temperature by dumping warm water from the desalination plant).
- Sharks are attracted by usually warm water from desalination plant.
- Tourist guide boats start chumming the waters to keep the sharks around for tourists.
- The attraction of so many mostly harmless sharks changes their feeding dynamic. Ever tried eating an ice cream cone near a small child? Ever tried pushing an ice cream cart through a crowd of small kids? Way different dynamic as supply and demand changes as the crowd grows.
- Formerly mostly harmless and "shy around humans" sharks start directly approaching humans as a source of food.
- Sharks investigate human, beg for food. How do sharks investigate? By biting, nibbles really, or bumping into people swimming.
- The first bite generates a predictably violent reaction from the humans, which triggers a feeding frenzy response. Humans aren't equipped to defend or escape this.
The point is that at every step of the way, these sharks are acting in a very strange way (for them) as a direct result of human action. We've seen this kind of thing before when people feed wild animals, strange and dangerous human seeking behaviors develop: alligators, bears, moose, etc. Dangerous animals? Yes, but the behaviors that result in human deaths are in no way natural.
This man was last seen surrounded by cats:
Previously thought harmless, these were really really hungry.
Turns out these sharks have been following the news.
Decent people.

~~Old school landline phones work without power. Not saying they're using them, just a fun fact. ~~
Edit: see below. I have no idea what in talking about.
Because the phone company (miles away from you and your local power outage) still has power, or has battery backups and automatic generators. The phone runs off of 48v that is sent directly via the phone line. That’s why you don’t need to plug your landline into a power outlet. It was also historically a fairly important safety feature, as people tend to need emergency services after their power goes out. For instance, maybe a bad storm blew through.
This actually turned out to be a problem when telecoms started transitioning towards digital phone lines. These days, they usually send everything via coax or fiber. Then a modem will take that incoming line and decode it into phone, internet, and TV signals. The modem also provides that 48v power on the phone lines. But that presents an issue, where a power outage will kill the customer’s modem, and therefore kill the customer’s landline phones. And we’ve already established that landline phones are an important safety fallback during emergencies. So now, you can actually get battery backups directly from the telecom, to be able to keep your modem powered (and thus use your landline phones) even during power outages.
Great work Ukraine!
Just be ready for a massive retaliation on your own power grid.

Google Safe Browsing looks to be have been built without consideration for open-source or self-hosted software.
IMO Google Save Browsing was built with consideration for open-source and self-hosted software, but it has nothing to do with user safety, just like blocking Android apps from 3rd party sites has nothing to do with user safety. The harder they make it to move away from their products by making using alternatives difficult, the more money they make and money is now the only objective. Even if this only adds a fraction of a fraction of a percent to their profit it's something Google will implement.
The old social contract of businesses being of benefit to the community as a whole in addition to making a profit is long gone.
Google has always been evil. Why else was their byline "Don't be evil"?
If you have to make such a disclaimer...
Similar issues were reported with aves libre early this week, maybe it's related?
github.com/deckerst/aves/issue…
GooglePlay scanner reports latest F-Droid version of Aves Libre as potential malware
Describe the bug When Droid-ify tried to update Aves Libre to 1.13.9, I’ve got a popup from Google Play scanner telling me something like "this software could be dangerous". I was able to give my a...arty-name (GitHub)
From the OP:
Google Safe Browsing looks to be have been built without consideration for open-source or self-hosted software. Many popular projects have run into similar issues, such as:
- Jellyfin
- YunoHost
- n8n
- NextCloud
Same when you try to deviate from the approved path of email providers or, dog forbid, even self-host email.
This is why I always switch off that "block potentially dangerous sites" setting in my browser - it means Google's blacklists. This is how Google influences the web beyond its own products.
edit: it's much more complex than simple blocklists with email
I wouldn't recommend turning off safe browsing
If a page is blocked it is very easy to bypass. However, the warning page will make you take a step back.
For instance, someone could create a fake Lemmy instance at fedit.org to harvest credentials.
@Andres4NY@social.ridetrans.it
Running Debian Stable, I have installed ungoogled-chromium which is also in the repos.
But Librewolf is my main browser, Chromium a rarely used secondary.
What I'm talking about is how these blocklists are used by many other browsers/softwares (e.g. Firefox) as well.
Fuck you google. I can't see youtube videos with my browser because google wants me to sign in. Tells me it is protecting the community.
BULLSHIT.
Because google doesnt make me sign in to view or edit someone elses google docs they are sharing. Which one is more important google? Assholes.
I can’t see youtube videos with my browser because google wants me to sign in. Tells me it is protecting the community.
I'm guessing the videos are age restricted 18+ videos? You don't have to be signed in to watch any other videos.
No, not age restricted.
Happens most frequently with using any VPN, which we use all the time at work and I often use at home or while traveling.
But sometimes it just does it without.
I think most people are signed into their gmail account or have been recently so the cookie is set. It's crazy when you don't have one how hard Google pushes you.
YouTube doesn’t force you to sign in unless the content you’re trying to watch is 18+. That’s just how it works. Your IP address makes no difference.
I’m not signed in to YouTube. Ever. On any device. I have never been forced to sign in to watch anything that wasn’t age restricted.
How should I prove this to you then? You are wrong, it is not just age content.
I could make a short video, or screen capture, but that's more effort than it's worth.
I am telling you, this happens all the damn time and it's getting annoying.
Find a video that asks you to sign in that isn't 18+ or private.
I could make a short video, or screen capture, but that’s more effort than it’s worth.
That's really zero effort since it "happens all the damn time"
So weird you should argue about this. Do you always tell people "that doesnt happen to me so it doesn't happen to you". Why would I lie about it?
Why are you such an asshole?
This is my constant experience with youtube.
which happened today while I was checking on the hurricane in Jamaica.
I tell people things that what they’re saying is wrong when it is wrong.
All you had to say was that it thinks you’re a bot, and then this whole thing could have been avoided. Which vpn are you using?
All of this? What is this? Not believing people when they tell you something?
And the most interesting part, like I said, was that it doesn't bother when it is google docs. So what is google protecting exactly? That is the main point.
Google flags F-Droid updates...
Why would people have Google security going on if they have set up F-Droid as their appstore? Doesn't that defeat the entire purpose?
Like I understand that if I buy a phone from Apple, and they control everything on the phone and what I can install - well I mean I bought it from Apple, what else did I expect?
But I didn't buy my phone from Google. They should have no say in what I could or couldn't install.

Why are the immich teams internal deployments available to anyone on the open web? If you go to one of their links, like they provide in the article, they have an invalid SSL certificate, which google rightly flags as being a security risk, warns you about it, and stops you from going there without manual intervention. This is standard behaviour and no-one should want google to stop doing this.
I was going to install linux on an old NUC to run immich some time soon, but think I might have to have a look to see if it has been audited by some legit security companies first. How do they not see this issue of their own doing?
How would that work? The use case is for previews for pull requests. Somebody submits a change to the website. This creates a preview domain that reviewers and authors can see their proposed changes in a clean environment.
CloudFlare pages gives this behavior out of the box.
It is for pull requests. A user makes a change to the documentation, they want to be able to see the changes on a web page.
If you don't have them on the open web, developers and pull request authors can't see the previews.
The issue they had was being marked as phishing, not the SSL certificate warning page.

So? What that has to do with SSL certificates? Do you think GitHub loses SSL when viewing PRs?
If you don't have them on the open web, developers and pull request authors can't see the previews.
You can have them in the open, but without SSL you can't be sure what you're accessing, i.e. it's trivial to make a malicious site to take it's place an MitM whoever tries to access the real one.
The issue they had was being marked as phishing, not the SSL certificate warning page.
Yes, a website without SSL is very likely a phishing attack, it means someone might be impersonating the real website and so it shouldn't be trusted. Even if by a fluke of chance you hit the right site, all of your communication with it is unencrypted, so anyone in the path can see it clearly.

No, Google has hit me with this multiple times for sub domains where the subdomain is the name of the product and has a login page.
So, for example, if I have emby running at emby.domain.com they'll mark it as a phishing site. You have to add your domain to their web console and dispute the finding which is probably automated. I've had to do this at least three times now.
All my certs were valid.
Easier said than done, if your end users run Chrome. Because Chrome will automatically block your site if you’re on double secret probation.
The phishing flag usually happens because you have the Username, Password, Log In, and SSO button all on the same screen. Google wants you to have the Username field, the Log In button, and any SSO stuff on one page. Then if you input a username and go to start a password login, Google expects the SSO to disappear and be replaced by the vanilla Log In button. If you simply have all of the fields and buttons on one page, Google flags it as a phishing attempt. Like I guess they expect you to try and steal users’ Google passwords if you have a password field on the same page as a “Sign in with Google” button.
Firefox ingests Google SafeBrowsing lists.
If you are falsely flagged as phishing (like I was), then you are fucked regardless of what you use (except you use curl).
I couldnt even bypass the safebrowse warning on my Android phone in Firefox.
The URLs mentioned in their blog article all have a wrong certificate (different host name).
I am sure if they fix it Google’s system would reclassify the sites as safe.
any practice that restricts my personal freedom in any way is bad
Yes? I don't want to live in a world where giant companies decide what I can and cannot see. And big companies are bad, they act as pseudo governments that aren't accountable to anyone, we used to break them apart before they started buying up politicians and political power.
Agreed after the yes.
I'm not sure how what you said either: justifies the comments not fitting that label; justifies that "any practice that restricts my personal freedom in any way is bad" is a practical ideology; or even establishes much a link between what you've quoted and what you've said. And I think you need to be doing one of those to be making a counter argument
Yeah, sure, 5 years after google flagged one of the sites i hosted, some firewalls (including isp-level blocks) mark the domain as unsafe. Google removed the block after more than a week but the stink continues until today.
It was also a development domain and we were forced to change it.
Was also flagged recently.
In my case it was the root domain which is
1. Geofiltered to only my own Country in Cloudflare
2. Geofiltered to only my country in my firewall
3. Protected by Authelia (except the root domain which says 404 when accessing)
So....IDK what they want from me 😛 My domain doesnt serve public websites (like a blog) destined for public consumption...

AUTOPSIA DELL’IO
GIUSEPPE DE GRADO
AUTOBIOGRAFIA/SAGGIO
Kimerik EDITORE
27 FEBBRAIO 2025
128 PP
15 x 21 x 1 cm
Un viaggio introspettivo che tocca tematiche sia puramente intimistiche che antropologiche e sociali. Un unico lungo racconto con tappe ben definite, caratterizzate da continui salti temporali, che l’autore propone per far meglio immergere il lettore nel proprio mondo presente e passato. La linea di confine tra mondi visibili (la realtà delle cose) e invisibili (i pensieri e le forze implicite che li scaturiscono) è molto sottile, ma ciononostante si riesce sempre a restare perfettamente in bilico tra i due. Si potrebbe facilmente pensare a un labirinto della mente esposto narrativamente ma, seppur la sensazione primaria possa essere tale, una bussola concettuale è sempre presente per evitare il disorientamento. A far da padrone è l’autore che al contempo è protagonista di un’idilliaca storia d’amore con lo sfondo del tempo che passa e che corrode cose e persone, senza però intaccarne i significati; un romanticismo palpabile e accattivante, che quasi tende a contaminare chi ne legge, data la sua avida veemenza. In conclusione, volendo sintetizzare in poche parole l’essenza di questo libro, resta da dire che il percorso di esso è lungo, tortuoso ma morbido, con zampilli di marcata malinconia verso un’epoca vicina ma comunque lontana anni luce, in cui sembrava che i valori fossero mastodontici e i sensi molto più svegli a favore della vita e di un cuore sempre messo in prima linea; insomma, un viaggio a ritroso nel tempo che tende a sbiadirsi, con una velocità sempre maggiore, tra l’autobiografia e l’autoanalisi.

Un taccuino dell’anima
In Autopsia dell’io (128 pagine), Giuseppe De Grado si mette a nudo in un percorso di introspezione che mescola prosa, poesia e immagini.
Non un semplice diario, ma una mappa emotiva in cui dolore e speranza convivono, dando voce a quella parte di sé che spesso restiamo a ignorare.
De Grado racconta con delicatezza e precisione i tormenti e le gioie di un uomo che non ha paura di guardarsi dentro. Ogni pagina diventa uno specchio in cui il lettore riconosce la propria umanità imperfetta, tra perdita, desiderio di appartenenza e bisogno di autenticità.
“Scrivere significa scendere nei miei abissi: ogni volta non ne salgo intatto, ma trovo la via di casa passando vicino al cuore.”
L’io come bussola della coscienza
Uno degli aspetti più interessanti del libro è la riflessione sull’io — il centro della coscienza, quell’equilibrio fragile che media tra pulsioni, regole e realtà esterna.
De Grado intreccia la sua narrazione personale con richiami a Freud, Jung, Erikson e Rogers, esplorando l’identità come processo in continua costruzione.
L’autore ricorda che l’io non è una struttura immutabile ma un flusso, un processo cerebrale e psicologico fatto di memoria, emozione e percezione.
La parte dedicata alle neuroscienze amplia la visione: l’io non è solo psiche, ma anche materia viva, movimento, esperienza.
“Comprendere il mio io è stato come scoprire una presenza silenziosa: non qualcosa da giudicare, ma da ascoltare. È lì che si nasconde la mia verità.”
Questa dimensione teorica non appesantisce il testo, anzi, lo arricchisce di profondità. Autopsia dell’io diventa così un ponte tra letteratura e psicologia, tra conoscenza e emozione.
Fragilità e immagine
La fragilità è il filo conduttore dell’intero volume.
De Grado la descrive in versi e in prosa, con una lingua limpida e musicale.
Le illustrazioni di Roberta Lanzi, realizzate con penna, matita e acquarello, accompagnano e amplificano il testo, raffigurando l’autore come figura sospesa tra realtà e sogno, in atmosfere che ricordano Monet, Van Gogh e Degas.
L’arte, qui, diventa introspezione visiva: ogni tratto rivela qualcosa che le parole non dicono.
L’autore si confida: la risposta completa
Nell’intervista che chiude il libro, De Grado racconta la genesi del suo lavoro con una sincerità rara:
«In questo libro ho dato tutto me stesso — i miei sentimenti e i miei pensieri — e l’ho fatto anche grazie alla forza dell’amore per mia moglie. Scrivere significa scendere nei miei abissi: ogni volta non ne salgo intatto, ma trovo la via di casa passando vicino al cuore.»
Quando gli si chiede cosa significhi spogliarsi così tanto davanti al lettore, l’autore risponde:
«È stato un momento, e come tutti i momenti si va incontro a una trasformazione: come dal bruco nasce una farfalla. Mi sono spogliato delle mie paure e ho accettato di mostrarmi. È stata una liberazione.»
E aggiunge ancora, con intensità:
«Scrivere Autopsia dell’io è stato come tornare a casa dopo anni di smarrimento. Ho scavato nella mia memoria e nei miei silenzi per ritrovare la voce che avevo perso. Non ho paura di chiamare questo percorso con il suo nome: guarigione.»
Le sue parole, autentiche e vibranti, restituiscono il cuore pulsante del libro: la scrittura come atto terapeutico, come possibilità di rinascita.
Il tempo e la presenza
Il tempo attraversa il libro come tema ricorrente: tempo che passa, tempo perduto, tempo da ritrovare.
De Grado invita a rallentare, a riscoprire la presenza, a smettere di vivere per abitudine.
È un messaggio che risuona forte in un’epoca dominata dalla distrazione e dalla corsa continua: solo fermandosi si può davvero ascoltare.
“L’attitudine all’abitudine, alla paura del cambiamento, fa sì che l’animo non si evolva.”
Estratto significativo
«Non volevo richiudere questa crepa, non volevo farmi sopraffare dalla paura… L’attitudine all’abitudine, alla paura del cambiamento, fa sì che l’animo non si evolva.»
Questo passo riassume la filosofia dell’autore: accettare la crepa come parte della crescita, trasformare il dolore in consapevolezza.
Conclusione: un viaggio da condividere
Autopsia dell’io non è soltanto un libro: è un’esperienza di autenticità e coraggio.
Un invito a riscoprire se stessi, a riconciliarsi con la propria vulnerabilità e a comprendere che la fragilità è parte della bellezza umana.
Giuseppe De Grado ci regala una testimonianza toccante, fatta di parole e immagini che sanno parlare al cuore e alla mente.
Per chi: ama la narrativa autobiografica, la psicologia del sé, l’introspezione poetica e i libri che fanno riflettere.

La Lanterna non è più il simbolo di Genova, l'email settimanale di L'Unica - Genova
L'intelligenza artificiale di Google ha privato la Lanterna del primato assoluto, definendola «uno dei» simboli e non più «il» simbolo del capoluogo ligure, anche perché probabilmente lo è sempre meno nella testa dei genovesi.
Nel logo della prossima adunata nazionale degli Alpini che si terrà a Genova dall’8 al 10 maggio 2026, la Lanterna appare stilizzata proprio accanto alla inevitabile penna nera, ma alla sua base è raffigurata pure la Biosfera del Porto Antico, disegnata dalla matita di Renzo Piano
E ci credo, non l'hanno mai saputa valorizzare a dovere, solo per raggiungerla e poterla visitare bisogna fare un giro allucinante!

No Donations for Days 💔 Winter Is Coming
There have been no donations for days… and winter is almost here. We’re still sleeping under the open sky with nothing to keep us warm. They announced a ceasefire, but the bombing hasn’t stopped, and our suffering continues.
All I want is to protect my family — to buy a tent, warm clothes, and some food. Every night, I watch my family shiver from the cold, and it breaks my heart.
Your donations can save us from the freezing nights and hunger. Please, don’t let us face this winter alone. 💔
🕊️ Your kindness can bring us warmth, safety, and hope.

Over 100 police officers investigated after 30,000 breath tests falsified
More than 100 police officers are under investigation after 30,000 alcohol breath tests were "falsely or erroneously recorded", RNZ can reveal."From the audit which covered over 4.6 million breath tests performed between 1 July 2024 and 17 August 2025, the initial analysis suggested there were tests conducted that were simulated without the involvement of a driver.
The audit indicated that some staff had recorded breath screening tests that hadn't occurred.
Johnson said that despite this, Police's obligation to deliver 3.3 million tests for NZTA and Ministry of Transport had been met and was not compromised.

Ecco spiegato il recente impegno degli americani a smantellare l'Europa
Ogni pagamento che gli europei faranno con l'euro digitale - che potranno effettuare o con una app fornita dalla banca, o con una 'card' simile alla carta di credito - sarà il trasferimento ad altri di un 'credito' presso la Bce: come le banconote. Una differenza sostanziale con le carte di credito e con i bonifici bancari. E anche un elemento 'geopolitico': i due terzi dei pagamenti digitali oggi - su Visa, Mastercard o Paypal per quelli online - passano da operatori americani.

If you say you want apples you have to accept the continued existence of apple trees. If you want a peaceful life for Palestinians you support Hamas who are the embodiment of the resistance to zionist violence.
Nobody with two braincells to rub together thinks that Palestine can coexist with the expansionist racial supremacists zionist state, or that the expansionist racial supremacists zionists will just cease to be without a fight. So in order for a person to think that Palestinians can live in peace without the armed resistance who Hamas are the largest group they have to be irrational or just dumber than shit.

During WWII and the holocaust if one said they are for only for peaceful protest against the Nazis or one said they are against the resistance fighters or soldiers fighting the Nazis what would that effectively mean for those in the concentration camps?
During decades of ethnic cleansing including where children have been captured, tortured and killed; where non violent protestors have been been repeatedly shot and killed, kidnapped and tortured to death; where journalists have been tortured and killed; where there have ongoing blockades to starve and murder people; where israel regularly "mows the lawn"; where medics have been routinely killed; where the Gaza strip has been a test bed for weapons sold at arms fairs; where the largest organ trafficking per capita against the palestenians is ongoing; where palestinians have been reguarly sexually tortured and abused; where the homes and livelihoods have been regularly razed for settlers; and THEN followed by the last few years by a genocide what does it mean to be against the palestinian resistance fighters?
What does it mean to believe what the West and Israelis say about said resistance fighters fighting a genocide where the West and Israelis are active perpetrators? What does such lack of support effectively mean for palestinians?
It means effectively supporting their death.
There is a reason why the west lionises the likes of Gandhi and MLK and strips them of any real radicalism (especially the latter) and forgets their context in history - their "non-violence" had leverage because of the alternatives of "violence" the oppressors faced from their contemporaries lead by Baghat Singh/Fred Hampton/Malcolm X etc to name the most famous of them.
In liberalism often the violence of the oppressor is normalised and the resistance to that is considered exceptional; one has to reflect why that racism should ever be consider acceptable if one wants to consider consider the oppressed as fully human.
In order for nonviolence to work, your opponent must have a conscience. - Kwame Ture

The first honest American president - Trump’s shameless corruption is not a deviation from American history but its fulfilment.
By the time Trump arrived, corruption had been normalised as realism. Trump merely stripped it of its polite fictions – not only in domestic politics but in foreign policy, where the US has long cloaked its violence in the language of democracy and human rights. Trump’s extrajudicial killings of unidentified individuals via unilateral military strikes in Latin American waters, for example, are not a break with American precedent but its most naked expression, the open performance of practices that past administrations enacted beneath the cloak of deniability and euphemism. Likewise, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) brutality and cruelty under Trump are not new. It is instead largely a dramatised, made-for-TV version of what Barack Obama – who earned the title of “deporter in chief” – pioneered over the years in which he built the career of Tom Homan, now Trump’s so-called border czar. Like Trump, Obama was a great admirer of Homan, awarding him a 2015 Presidential Rank Award for Distinguished Service to honour his passion for rounding up immigrants, separating children from their parents and caging people in detention camps.
The brazenness of Trump’s corruption and cruelty – the nepotism, the grift, the self-dealing, the open auctioning of government contracts and justice – does not shock us because it feels like an honest expression of what we already knew: that American government and institutions serve the wealthy individuals who own them, whether directly or indirectly through their donations and lobbyists or via networks of influence, bribery and extortion. The outrage that might once have followed is replaced by a weary recognition that things have always worked this way.

Not nearly enough for 100% biofuels. Solar electric uses something like 1/100 of the land for a given amount of transportation.
A biofuels requirement like this is effectively a soft inducement to electrify transport, albeit with huge deforestation risk.
You can, but that will only substitute for a fairly small fraction of US transport needs
To put this in context, california has a similar biofuels content requirement, which uses about 40% of soybean oil in the US, while displacing a few percent of the state’s diesel use
Added a /s.
Honestly it’s wasteful to grow crops for fuel because of all the water needed to grow it.
eat it
can't fuel be made from the bioresidues of agriculture through pyrolisis or sth?
As far as I know, mandatory use of biofuels is primarily a subsidy for farmers rather than a means of reducing emissions. I'm surprised to see an urban area focus on it.
In his decision, Engstrom said the feedstock restrictions are “core to the original policy intent” and must be preserved because they ensure the policy delivers on promised carbon reductions. Feedstocks made from virgin agricultural products and food crops – such as soybean, canola and palm oils – have been linked to much higher carbon emissions, displacing food production and causing deforestation and are not allowed under Portland’s policy.
It sounds like Portland is making an effort to avoid the farm-subsidy sort of biofuels, but then what is it actually demanding that biofuels be made from?
‘Fancy tool’: how China cut chip defects by 99% for near-perfect lithography
In a major leap for the global semiconductor industry, a joint Chinese research team has developed a method that can slash defects in lithography – a critical step in chipmaking – by up to 99 per cent.
The researchers achieved unprecedented clarity by using cryo-electron tomography (cryo-ET) to pinpoint, for the first time, the minute sources of common manufacturing flaws.
The findings, published in the journal Nature Communications on September 30, by Professor Peng Hailin from Peking University in collaboration with researchers from Tsinghua University and the University of Hong Kong, were hailed by reviewers as a “fancy tool” that “would benefit peer researchers and industrial users quite a lot”.
“The team has proposed a solution compatible with existing semiconductor production lines,” Peng said in an interview with Beijing-based Science and Technology Daily published on Monday. “It can reduce lithography defects on 12-inch (30cm) wafers by 99 per cent,” he added, indicating substantial cost benefits to the market.
Lithography is one of the most critical steps in chip manufacturing. “It can be understood as ‘printing circuits’ onto semiconductor wafers such as silicon,” Peng said. “Essentially, an ultra-precise ‘projector’ shrinks and transfers pre-designed circuit patterns onto a special film coating the wafer, which is then developed and fixed.”

The wear on SD cards is exaggerated and largely minimized if you use an OS that is configured to be aware of it but you are also increasingly relying on a ticking time bomb.
Mini PC/NUC? I am a huge fan of these and think they are what most people actually need for stuff like home assistant, adguard, etc. Just understand you are going to be storage limited sooner than you expect and you can oversubscribe that CPU and memory a lot faster than you would expect.
My general suggestion? Install proxmox on the mini PC and deploy on top of that. If/when you decide you want something more, migration is usually pretty easy.
And if you just want a NAS? It is really hard to go wrong with a 4 bay NAS from one of the reputable vendors (which may just be ugreen at this point?) as those tend to still come out cheaper than building it yourself and 4 disks means you can either play with fire with RAID5 or not be stupid and do RAID1.

in reply to NuXCOM_90Percent • • •Oh yeah, that is true. Mini PC has a proper ssd nvme.
Thanks for the feedback! Will look at the NAS you recommend, but i thik i want more freedom to tinker. Will definitely look into proxmox!

in reply to NuXCOM_90Percent • • •Actually ASUS started to sell N100 motherboards with the CPU soldered on for $120
That plus a jonsbo N2 or N3, a few extra pieces, and its a few hundred dollars cheaper than the Ugreen options. Sure it will probably run Truenas instead of Ugreens custom truenas or whatever its built on, but that extra $300 is another 24TB hard drive or a HexOS lifetime subscription.
There's also always the classic buy an old mid sized tower for $100 and slap two massive hard drives in it

in reply to Jokulhlaups • • •Whatever is cheapest. When youre first starting out basically any hardware will do, it just needs to boot Linux. As you progress and find more stuff to put on the servers, you'll discover what you're real hardware needs are.
When I first started, it was a hand me down single core AMD Sempron machine (socket 754!) that I later upgraded to an Athlon64 and 4gb of DDR. I managed to bodge that poor thing into running a Minecraft 1.5.2 server.
Personally I would stick with the i3 machine since I am assuming it's an office PC that can be had for cheaper than a Pi 5 (which is quite inflated in price IMO). x86 still retains better software support vs ARM and they are significantly easier to attach large cheap storage to via SATA. Power cost will be greater but I doubt an office i3 pulls more than 70w wall power at full load.

in reply to Jokulhlaups • • •usually works well enough, but some aren't built great and can have stability issues. i usually have the thing running for a few months with light tasks to ensure it's stable before putting it into critical use.
external usb-sata enclosures cause a lot of issues, so i test those as well.

in reply to Jokulhlaups • • •A 35W i7-7700T mini PC from 2017 will absolutely spank a modern N150 in single and multi–threaded applications, and uses very little extra power to do so.
Mini PC is the way to go.

in reply to thirdBreakfast • • •Oh for sure. I've got a handful of SFFs and mini PCs making up my little "homelab":
(Yes, that's the furnace. No, it's not hot there. Ever. I've checked on it many, many times.)
I've also got another pair of Optiplex 9020s, an Optiplex 3040, and my old trusty HP Elite 8100 SFF w/8300 SFF mobo, i7-3770/32GB, and modded BIOS that supports booting from NVMe (via it.s M.2 PCIe card). Those are sitting in the closet just taking up space at the moment.
eBay supplied the 7050 and the mini PCs. My sister gave me the other Optiplexen from her work office.

in reply to Jokulhlaups • • •I built a home server based on an Intel N100 motherboard a while ago. I've put proxmox on it and run my Home Assistant installation, Nextcloud, several other stuff and even my router as an OpenWRT VM!
I chose to go the N100 motherboard route mainly due to the flexibility it offers. But you can just buy a N100 based NUC and you get effectively the same performance and incredible low power consumption.
I would recommend against the Pi 5. It is way underpowered in my opinion. Plus with a x86 system you just have a lot more software compatibility.

in reply to undefinedTruth • • •Similarly here. Have an Odroid with that platform, it wasn't cheap but it came with several advantages:
Very powerful machine for the power usage, I ran a really old Athlon before though (from 2010 or so that I retrofitted with 16GB RAM) that did most stuff just fine. But I wanted some transcoding and also possibly a smaller case.
I run everything bare metal though.

I personally use the Beelink ME Mini and it’s been able to handle just fine about any server tasks I need it to, not to mention the wildly expandable storage.
