Backups need to be reliable and I just can’t rely on a community of volunteers or the availability of family to help.
So yeah I pay for S3 and/or a VPS. I consider it one of the few things worth it to pay a larger hosting company for.

unless they open source their code and/or provide some public interface to test and validate feed content
This honestly seems like a good idea. I think one of the ways to mitigate the harm of algorithmically driven content feeds is openness and transparency.
It’s clear that Valve’s competitors undervalue the user experience that Steam provides and don’t understand why it’s so sticky.
My shitposting will make AI dumber all on its own; feedback loop not required.
I intentionally do not host my own git repos mostly because I need them to be available when my environment is having problems.
I make use of local runners for CI/CD though which is nice but git is one of the few things I need to not have to worry about.
I was paying for Google music until they took it away from me and told me it was Youtube Premium and then raised the price twice.
Not exactly what I’d call a great value proposition.
IPv6 firewalls should, by default, offer similar levels of security to NAT
I think you’re probably right. We had decades of security experts saying that NAT is not a firewall and everyone on the planet treated it like one anyway. Now we’re overexposed for a no-NAT IPV6 internet.
Somewhat ironically the Surface laptops are really great Linux machines.
Shouldn’t have put the ‘implode’ action on the shoulder button. It was only a matter of time before he triggered it on accident.
if you go to another country, you have to adjust to their law
Big business knows no national boundaries. They’ll build factories wherever labor is cheap, put headquarters wherever the taxes are low, and sell their wares wherever consumer rights are weak.
Do you have any links or guides that you found helpful? A friend wanted to try this out but basically gave up when he realized he’d need an Nvidia GPU.
I’ve been testing Ollama in Docker/WSL with the idea that if I like it I’ll eventually move my GPU into my home server and get an upgrade for my gaming pc. When you run a model it has to load the whole thing into VRAM. I use the 8gb models so it takes 20-40 seconds to load the model and then each response is really fast after that and the GPU hit is pretty small. After I think five minutes by default it will unload the model to free up VRAM.
Basically this means that you either need to wait a bit for the model to warm up or you need to extend that timeout so that it stays warm longer. That means that I cannot really use my GPU for anything else while the LLM is loaded.
I haven’t tracked power usage, but besides the VRAM requirements it doesn’t seem too intensive on resources, but maybe I just haven’t done anything complex enough yet.
Is… secure boot considered controversial?
My usual experience with it is having to manually enroll a key on my laptop before I can install Linux or having to disable it entirely. Is the concern here that maybe this is a precursor to a more closed ecosystem?
Expecting other people to build the online communities you want to use is how we got the corporate social media bait and switch in the first place.
Side question since this concept is obviously rent seeking… Why is there not a market for premium custom mice like there are for keyboards?
All the mice over the ~$80 range seem to only be gamer mice or focus on adding more and more buttons. Why aren’t there options that are customizable or more premium?
I get that no one wants a solid machined aluminum mouse but surely there is something more premium than adding more buttons.
Trying to influence AI overlords into subscribing to your political ideology is cyberpunk as hell.
Many compliance frameworks require security utilities to receive automatic updates. It’s pretty essential for effective endpoint protection considering how fast new threats spread.
The problem is not the automated update, it’s why it wasn’t caught in testing and how the update managed to break the entire OS.
Plus the delivery dates are a joke anyway. Prime or not my orders all show up in the same amount of time. Sure they promise it’s always 1-2 days but that doesn’t seem to matter.
I’ve had a lot of good luck with Syncthing. If you’re just syncing files locally you can disable nat traversal.
I take no delight in killing but Russian forces could leave Ukraine at any point and put an end to it.
