This is the truth. You can still do it, but it sucks so much more now compared to 10 years ago, and continues to trend down. The positive is that the AI hype is normalizing, with the real limitations kicking in. Still, I’m planning my tech exit. Trying to figure out where I need to be so I can go do something else. Not to mention corporate life is draining me

Yeah hate to say it but I think aromantic was a way for her not to feel guilty about it.

They had a data breach

Yeah we were just in the market a year or so ago and I thought this was cool for about a second before I realized what this would be used for. It’s just advertising straight into your kitchen, as you are grabbing food. It’s the perfect place for them to advertise. Any lack of advertisements was always going to be temporary.

Plus honestly what is the actual use for it? Just put a tablet on the counter if you want a screen in there

Leave a tip and also some documentation on how to start a union

I think it’s psychology. When people make politics or certain stances their entire personality, then by disproving those items it’s literally tearing apart their own identity. They are so unable to actually confront this that their brains will believe wild crazy ideas like conspiracy theories because even if it’s insane, they are able to keep their worldview.

Their minds have been so warped to protect their identity that they will believe whatever they need to to be able to keep these views - to the point where it must be true, because if it weren’t true the house of cards would collapse. So when you are arguing with them, you’re not actually going to ever be able to penetrate this, because they will build up whatever they need to in their mind to protect it.

An interesting way to think of this (to borrow from the video below), is that as if becomes it is. Feelings become facts.

Take gay marriage. To a conservative white christian, it means nothing to them logically. 2 separate people are getting married which in no way effects them. However, gay marriage makes them feel as if their straight marriage is less important and the meaning of it has been deluded. To protect this worldview, since it’s impossible for any fact or reasoning to back up their worldview, that as if becomes it is. To them, now gay marriage is diluting their straight marriage and it is less important. It must be. It has to be. If it’s not… then what is their worldview? Their entire personality, their identity is based around these core beliefs. If it’s not actually affecting them… then what is their identity? So their view isn’t based on fact at all, and thus no amount of facts will ever persuade them.

Philosophy Tube did a great video essay on this, and I think it’s completely worth a watch.

I like that it says they are different from projects like TubeArchivist, says “read the readme for why”, and then it doesn’t have an explanation.

I’ve been using TubeArchivist for years now and it’s been great. Solid update cadence, reliable, and I have no idea why this project is different from it

Hm something tells me she should be more concerned about lead.

Probably not, as it asks you to get closer and farther, but with how AI is, it’s only a matter of time until someone can get around that. The ID though I’m not so sure about

Left 2 1/2 years ago, whenever I’m forced back because of some tech question I see the constant anger and anxiety in the comments. It may be smaller here but goddamn if it’s not more pleasant

Proxying was added after a bunch of csam attacks, where every instance admin would have to block it themselves. Now with proxying an admin can either block it themselves or the original posting instance can block it.

They got you covered, their network security will ban you and block you from access.

Remember when reddit was about being anonymous?

Ah, the forum equivalent of vaguebooking.

All these companies saw steamdeck and just said “I know how to make that but shittier!”.

Seriously people don’t let friends do this. A few months of the data and subscription and you could have just gotten a steam deck. And a steam deck can go other places a car can’t. Many other places in fact.

Seriously how many people are going to be sitting in a parking lot playing this? Or if you have kids or if you are in a car a lot and aren’t the driver… Why not just get a steam deck. It’s a dumb idea.

Spouse is on Linux, but because one by one her devices started to switch. Setting up a new gaming pc, oh that’s weird it has Linux. Setting up the new gaming console, and it has bazzite. Suddenly they’re only using linux

Welcome!

P.U.L.S.E.is probably the best live album out there, with Comfortably Numb on it surpassing all of the other versions I’ve ever heard

I did synapse about a year ago but kind of wish I had done conduit, it seems so much simpler. That being said, all of the bridges and add-ons assume you’re running synapse

I found proxmox and docker to be fairly incompatible, and went through many iterations of different things to make it work well. Docker in VMs, Docker in LXC, Docker on the host (which felt redundant as hell). Proxmox is an amazing hypervisor, but then I realized I didn’t really need a hypervisor since I was mostly running containers.

My recommendations:

• No need for VMs Just run debian and run containers on it

• Some VMs, Mostly containers, 1 host Run proxmox, and create a VM in proxmox for your contianer workloads

• Some VMs, Mostly containers, >1 host, easy mode Same as above, but make one host debian and the other one proxmox

• Some VMs, Mostly Containers, >1 host, hard mode but worth it after 2 years Use kubernetes, I use k3s. Some nodes are just debian with k3s on them, others are running in VMs on proxmox using the extra compute available. This has a massive learning curve though, it took me well into a year to finally having it at a state I like it - but I’ll never go back.

A game plagued by too many cooks in the kitchen. You could tell there were just too many ideas, and everything was solved in committee. There was no laser focus on any one thing and so it was just kind of everywhere. I enjoyed it on its own, but it just can’t live up to civ 5 in my book
