Not talking suicide. But, I mean more like an age where you know you won't be dating anybody and that you don't care if you let some of your health slide. Get a little chubby, drink some beers that you never did before, smoke like you never did before when you spent years avoiding the stuff when you were younger.

Stuff like that. I think I might get into smoking when I'm more into my 40s or something. I don't care, life would've long pass me by then, it isn't like I'm going to be a successful individual at 55 or something.

SchwätzGPT bekommt den Job

I've been stressing out for some hours now, but I think I know what has happened, although there are still some things that's not quite adding up, and was hoping someone could help me get to the bottom of it. The actual question is at the bottom.

First some background I'm self-hosting Nextcloud on a Linode, and was notified that the public out network traffic exceeded my set threshold. I first assumed that I've had a breach on my server, but could find no trace of someone logging in. The reason I now feel at least somewhat easier is:

1. No sign of anyone ssh-ing in successfully before the time this happened from /var/logs/auth.log (I guess this is not hard to cover though...)
2. ssh through root is disabled - they would have to know my username and my password, which should not be brute-forceable, and the way it's stored in my password manager does not immediately allow linking the two (although, if my password manager is compromised I don't know what to do). I have no other signs that this has been compromised, and I think my Nextcloud-server would be a weird place to start if they had access to it all.
3. I have 2FA on my Linode account, so accessing root (which also has a different and not easily brute-forceable password) through LISH should also be difficult.
4. The amount of traffic (based on the average network traffic Linode reported) amounts to several times the total data stored on the server. I would expect a malicious actor to grab everything once, and not spend more time than necessary to needlessly duplicate the data.

What I now think happened instead is that my desktop client has resynced everything several times over. The reasons I think this:

1. The network activity started more or less when I opened my laptop this morning
2. The desktop client was for some reason entered twice in the autostart, causing two version of the client to be started at the same time. This caused some conflicts today - when I noticed this and resolved these, I quit the second instance, and that is about the time the network activity stopped
3. The same thing happened later today, which caused a spike in CPU-usage on the server, but did not trigger the same network traffic as the desktop client seems to have crashed quickly after.

The actual question However, the last piece of the puzzle that I can't figure out that still has me somewhat nervous: the maximum outbound transfer speed greatly exceeds my download speed (about 4 times). From the graph, it seems as though it maintains this high speed, but it seems to maybe just log the maximum value every five minutes, so maybe these are just spikes? The reported average over the two hours this occurred more or less matches my maximum download speed however, although I don't really think I can get that from where I am sitting on my WiFi.

Is this the glove that doesn't fit?

[…] Gabriel wirft der SPD-Führung vor, kein überzeugendes Parteiprogramm zu haben. Die Funktionäre der Partei hätten die Sorgen der Menschen bei ihrem "Machtpoker" aus dem Blick verloren, kritisiert Gabriel, der die Partei von 2009 bis 2017 führte: "Politik, die SPD als Partei, der Alltag der Menschen – spielt dabei keine wirkliche Rolle", so Gabriel, der inzwischen in den Aufsichtsräten verschiedener Unternehmen sitzt und als außenpolitischer Berater arbeitet.

I'm trying to use Text Generation Web UI, but I'm stuck with small models due to being limited to using a cpu that's "Model name: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E7500 @ 2.93GHz" How do I set this up?

Deutschland ist ein Steuerparadies - aber nur für Superreiche, deren Vermögen ständig wächst, genau wie die Kluft zwischen Arm und Reich. Der Staat lässt sich Milliarden entgehen.

Deutschland - ein Land, das sich gern als soziale Marktwirtschaft präsentiert. Doch hinter den Kulissen zeigt sich eine andere Realität: Während Arbeitseinkommen vergleichsweise hoch besteuert werden, genießen Einkommen durch Kapitalerträge, Schenkungen oder große Erbschaften Privilegien, die kaum zu rechtfertigen sind.

[...]

Die Vermögensungleichheit in Deutschland gehört zu den extremsten in Europa: Während die untere Hälfte der Bevölkerung kaum Vermögen besitzt, kontrollieren die obersten zehn Prozent über 60 Prozent des gesamten Vermögens. In Deutschland leben etwa 3.300 Superreiche mit mehr als 100 Millionen Dollar Finanzvermögen - damit liegt Deutschland weltweit auf Platz 3.

[...]

Generell bevorzugt unser Steuersystem Reiche: Deutschland erhebt auf Arbeitseinkommen eine der weltweit höchsten Steuerlasten - die Abgaben reichen von 14 bis zu 45 Prozent. Wer viel verdient, muss also auch viel Steuern zahlen - zumindest in der Theorie. In der Realität zahlen Multimillionäre aber oft nur rund 21 Prozent, knapp die Hälfte des Höchststeuersatzes.

[...]

Steuern mit höheren Abgaben für Hochvermögende hätten nicht nur einen finanziellen Effekt, sondern würden auch das Vertrauen in die Gerechtigkeit des Steuersystems stärken. Ein System, das Superreiche immer reicher macht, während Millionen Menschen in Armut leben, ist langfristig kaum tragfähig.
