Does it feed more beasts then using github in general does?

People have hooked up scripts to automate trade based on celebrities using certain hashtags or other data for years.

A non insignificant portion of people has absolutely hooked up an ai to it. I don’t know any, but i take that bet in a heartbeat.

Some will do it responsibly, as an experiment with money they are prepared to loose.

Ai companies themselves might try this as an internal test, like how atrophic has claude managing a real vending machine (which got manipulated into selling tungsten cubes following customer feedback)

Others have probably completely destroyed their own lives. A few may have lucked out.

If its critical, don’t give it to ai without having a secured backup it can’t touch.

I wish more projects did stuff like this.

It just feels silly and unprofessional while being seriously useful. Exactly my flavour of software, makes the web feel less corporate.

There are custom themes out there that change the interface.

Right click -> identify-> Title name, has yet to fail me.

Its been a long time since i used plex so I can’t say how much “easier” its over there but compared to the days before streaming this little upfront work takes less time then going to a physical store to rent.

Maintenance takes no work and it cant be enshitificated (someone will just port it)

Especially the no farts joker 🙏

AI might be able to help in a few years… I am kinda hoping there will be an “upscale transcoder” type thing where you play the originals in hd.

Current AI I wouldn’t trust for any of it though.

The irony is that yes, thats what unconditional love means.

My experience with some of such papers is that you are supposed to have professional help already that does it for you.

Shows that you need assistance.

I have had some that required a shit ton of paperwork from different sources to be returned within a 30 day window.

Its impossible to pull off, but a social worker who knows these pages makes 1 phone call and now you have 90 days. Makes another phone call if its still not done.

Actually, having just read the article they are not banning vpn at all. (Bad title)

They are mandating that sites that subjectively provide sexual content ban traffic that comes from a vpn.

Both corpo and private networks are fine.

I am not sure how enforceable this is. It might be limited to a “known list of vpn providers ip addresses” but how they ever know if you have a personal server running overseas?

The further we go in time the more complex life in society becomes.

A feudal lord making logistical decisions about how iron in its economy was still capable to grasp how iron is used/reused to make tools, weapons and contraptions.

With modern technology our tools have become a black box (almost literally) we use them but we do not understand the components and systems it relies on.

Many times a bad law can still be followed, proven by the many dumb rules people today still follow regardless of the existence of new facts.

But when you blanketban vpn? It becomes to nonsensical to even consider following it.

Vpn is more then just a tool to avoid local internet rules. They are an essential technology for secure connections between devices. Standard in almost any professional corporation.

(Anti corpo as i am, this time i actually believe there lobbying will stop this. Enemy of my enemy is a useful tool )

This is the equivalent of the feudal lord looking at the iron logistics and ruling that smithing and metallurgy are now banned practices.

Leaving people without proper tools to work the land, the soldiers without weapons to enforce any law.

Greedy neighbour lords ready to exploit your mistake to invade then.

Wait till you find out that a decent potion of adhd memes also get cross posted in autism places.

Honestly not having a static public ip address would be a dealbreaker for me, reason to change isp.

But thats not always an option.

My old isp got a new ip every full modem reboot and a way i used to circumvent this is with duckdns. It’s a free dns service i used before i had money to pay for my own domain.

If i recall correctly they have a desktop tool that connects to your account that scans for your current dynamic public ip and then updates it for your freesubdomainname.duckdns.org which is what you use to connect.

I never heard if twingate but i see no reason why not to selfhost Wireguard.

Its a proven open source vpn.

As far as a little research went. Twingate is proprietary software and caters to enterprises, it has some open source alternatives that have a similar functionality. Most if them using Wireguard under the hood. Look for tailscale/headscale or netbird.

Me, a Neurodivergent: i don’t need any of this pesky chemical stimulant stuff to get through life.

Can we get rid of lawns while bringing back the fashion please?

Helps with remembering what you actually did that day because often i get so sidetracked it looks like i did nothing at all.

Dont knows for these two but the enterprise version of copilot for office workers is so damn awefull its embarrassing.

It literally suggests to do stuff that it is incapable of doing.

I tried to get some doc as a flowchart using mermaid script, i know for a fact other llms have no problems with that:

After 3 attempts of it trying to code but resulting in an actual error it gives me,

Do you want me to provide this flowchart in visio format instead.

yes, if you can do that, it would be useful.

Generates a powerpoint about the topic.

that is a powerpoint, not a flowchart.

Tries to generate an image of a flowchart with not a single word spelled correctly and arrows going nowhere.

i didn’t ask to generate an image i need a flowchart

Sorry, if you want i can provide a flowchart in viso file format instead.

sure, give it another go

Generates a brand new bad PowerPoint.

I copy pasted the entire conversation to claude and it instantly gave me what i asked.

If you can boot an os from usb (basically the same for all distros) you can try proxmox.

There are these incredibly useful helper scripts that setup entire services in 1-2 copy pasted commands.

https://community-scripts.github.io/ProxmoxVE/

To explain what proxmox is its basicly virtualisation software, it can run vms but also lxc (light linux containers) and share resources very efficiently between all of them

Jellyfin, radarr, sonar. They are all included in the helper scripts, each will be a dedicated lxc.

Its also very easy to setup raid and there own storage format is very efficient.

Its well documented to the point that any decent llm can help you learn whatever you need. In fact its claude that helped me setup my own proper raid on proxmox, also tought me about datasets and how i can make those available to different lxc

Personally i am very hands off with my server, the hardest part is often choosing what ip i want to give a service, i rarely update or mess with it if not strictly necessary.

For hardware i recommend plenty of ram (can Be bought and installed seperatly), more cores is usually better and internal graphics can save you some hassle depending on what you are doing (also allows you to dedicate a Big gpu to some services).

A warning on second hand corporate machines, the performance is often good But quite fans are often an afterthought. I onxe got a beast of machine for free but you could hear it spin from anywhere in my house.

A good practical case is always a blessing when you need to check the insides.
