  • Copyright law only has teeth when it’s owned by corporations, but the cleanroom reimplementing technique does still seem to create a derivative product which in this layman’s opinion would still violate licenses like the GPL, but IANAL.

    In particular any open source software where it’s authors are making a living from donations or public support.

    The “good” news is this is pretty rare these days.

    Honestly the best defense is probably just writing maintainable software though, AI slop is going to be hard to maintain.









  • I use powetop on laptops to recommend config optimizations, it could run on a server too.

    hdparm can configure HDDs to powerdown, but I’ve never had any success using it on my router.

    In theory I think You could use WoL and have your router wake a device before sending traffic but I haven’t seen any guides for doing this so maybe I’m missing something.
