Can’t wait for this dude to go the way of Sam Bankman-Fried. Open AI is the new Enron.

I can’t prove it but I think the Kirkland paper towels quality has gone down too.

Vinyl records, analog tube amplifiers, a good pair of speakers 🤌

Honestly though digital compression now is so good it probably sounds the same.

That’s a good point. The model weights could be voltage levels instead of digital representations. Lots of audio tech uses analog for better fidelity.I also read that there’s a startup using particle beams for lithography. Exciting times.

Well I guess I’m Doomed then.

I use it to ssh into my desktop every time I reboot because the SDDM systemd unit has to be restarted manually. Light DM had the same problem. It’s annoying, but running Arch on Proxmox with GPU passthrough isn’t easy to troubleshoot with so many variables especially when Proxmox is set up to be headless.

I liked that movie, but I can’t show my family because our dog would lose her shit if I played this on our big tv. Like she freaks out over a 2 second clip with a dog in the background, let alone a horror movie for dogs.

Ever notice how every time some tech oligarch publicly states how scarred they are of their own models a new round of burning capital starts?

When the Arch wiki was getting DDOS’d a few weeks ago I got a local copy from the AUR that was pretty handy.

Stuff like this exists because someone doesn’t understand the technology. It’s infuriating, and I have had to deal with similar situations.

I had a job where I needed to interact with a PDF doc that came out every month. The person doing it would print out all 50 pages, someone would sign the last page and she would scan the whole doc back in. So now instead of a useful PDF, we just had 50 pages of pictures.

4 decades, and the best name that science could muster is “Number 16.” Well, RIP number 16, I’ll throw a dead housefly out for you.

I don’t remember exactly what it was about them, but I seem to recall some bad press surrounding them or something. Honestly most VPNs have sort of shady marketing tactics.

Hey, for some reason, I can’t click on the picture of your spreadsheet. Not sure if it’s an instance thing or something on my machine. Anyways, I’ve had the Proton suite of software for over a year now. I first got it because Canada is a little more lax on enforcing copyright laws, and their VPN protocol supports port hopping. They have been pretty solid for the most part. I think one of the servers I was relying on in Vancouver went down for maintenance, so I had to pick a new one. I proxy some of my docker services with an application called gluetun and it works great with Proton.

I haven’t fully swapped over my email, but if I’m already paying for it, I might as well use it. I should also say I have used Nord, PIA, and Mullvad in the past and they all worked for what they said they would do. In the case of PIA, I’m pretty sure they’ll easily give up records when compelled.

Stupid rapture.

They can pull jetbrains-mono out of my cold dead terminal.

I first read it as neanderthals are less aggressive so they must focus now on weapons. I’m pretty sure the intention is that the guys working on the wheel have to stop because the current leadership are neanderthals.

I think neanderthals were less war-like than humans because humans eradicated all of them, but I’m probably reading too much into it.

Who’s got 1 thumb and is bad at taming alligators?

Yes I am aware that I am paying to use someone else’s hardware. I already self-hosted lots of stuff on my own hardware, renting a server has other benefits that my own hardware doesn’t, mainly guaranteed uptime.

Thanks for the guide. S3 buckets are the way to go and I already have a few Linode/Akami servers I keep for playing around with. I’m just a little worried about Navidrome hammering the server because I messed something up then getting a $1000 bandwidth charge.

I got a pretty great one for cheap that I want to migrate my Navidrome service to. I don’t mind the $12 renewal; I just need to figure out how to host 1TB of music on the cloud for cheap.
