You’ve misunderstood. AI datacenters are not the highway. Prompts and Outputs are the cars and trucks, the AI data centers are the factories making the cars. The highway is datacenters and transmission media that do not house AI and do not require the immense cooling or power that the AI datacenters use. The highway and the things on the highway are two entirely decoupled things.
Internet traffic is not the internet. Thats like saying cars and trucks are the highway. I can’t believe I have to dumb this down for you, but here goes: T highway is that asphalt thing that sits on the ground between two places, right? And cars and trucks are the things you drive on the highway. So like, in terms of emissions, the highway isn’t producing all those nasty emissions, the cars and trucks are. So if you don’t like those nasty emissions, you can regular the cars and trucks, but the highway isn’t at fault. You could reduce the emissions of the vehicles, replace the cars with more efficient busses, you could even just ride bikes on the highway if you really wanted to. But all these things are separate from the highway itself, see?
Just because you don’t understand how any of this works doesn’t change the fact of the matter which is that the internet is not taking your drinking water.
Plugins for SSO and OIDC are not a solution as they will only work with the web clients, so that’s a non-starter.
Jellyfin can blame it on the tech debt all they want but implementing it really wouldn’t be that hard, they just haven’t prioritized it, simple as.
The things using the internet is irrelevant. The fact remains that the internet itself is not taking your drinking water
A security focused authentication service would be the most successful, straightforward, and simple to implement solution.
Unfortunately Jellyfin, nearly alone amongst its FOSS peers has not implemented support for these services. It’s the only one of my many dozens of selfhosted services that I can’t properly secure.
The internet and AI are two different things.
The internet wasn’t taking your drinking water 5 years ago and it’s not taking it today.
I would rather just properly secure it like every other selfhosted service I have, and not have to manage a VPN client for every user who wants to connect to Jellyfin.
It is Jellyfins fault and there is an easier way, the Jellyfin team just hasn’t prioritized it.
It’s not directed towards people who are experts. I’m an expert and can’t secure Jellyfin properly because Jellyfin doesn’t support proper secure authentication.
The internet isn’t taking your drinking water
You’re projecting. In this conversation you have so far:
I don’t think you have even a conceptual understand of Grammar, and I suspect you only know English as a second language
No, it didn’t, that’s why compute is used now. Compute is a mass noun, shortened from Computation, also a mass noun and it’s a perfectly reasonable and accurate word. Also compute is not an adjective in any context, you’re thinking of a verb.
All words are made up.
It’s an accurate and useful word for describing something that previously did not have a word. Pretty simple stuff.
Energy use is the not the thing being sold, and never was.
It’s an engineering term that engineers use to easily and efficiently describe the thing being built and sold. It’s not for the benefit of investors, it’s for the benefit of other engineers so they can easily describe the thing being talked about.
Datacenters? Yes, to an extent. They enable things like the modern internet, public goods like Wikipedia, etc.
AI datacenters? No.
Kobo won’t lock you in. You can sideload any books you want, install Koreader and download books straight from Calibre using OPDS without even needed to jailbreak anything.
Sounds like a personal problem
It’s absolutely in the dictionary, it’s perfectly plain and inoffensive, and it sounds perfectly descriptive of what it is.
You can’t use the word “computing”, it’s a gerund that represents an ongoing activity, it can’t be unitized into finite units. “Processing power” is not a noun, it’s a phrase.
Compute is not a boardroom term, it’s an engineering term. It’s used by professionals because it’s efficient, practical, and makes the most sense linguistically in the context it’s used. It may be inelegant, but it’s a function term for an ugly, unnatural thing, it’s not supposed to sound pretty.
No they are still two very different things.
