Some hobbies have minimal levels of skill/knowledge/equipment to properly do them, and I’d argue that self hosting is one of them. You can say people are hostile to beginners, but I might say people are trying to save them from themselves by not just telling them how to slap shit together so they can put it on the Internet and get owned by Internet Background Radiation in a short period of time.

My personal opinion is that beginners are too over confident in their skills or expect setting things up is like setting up an online account, and expect everything to be ready for them to install in their preferred method, and get upset when people tell them they need to upskill to be able to accomplish their goal.

An example of this is a conversation I had with someone online about some docker distributed app, and people were trying to get the person to use docker like the install doc says instead of trying to figure out how to just install it directly into the OS, because that’s the way they’re used to doing stuff and they were determined they weren’t going to change now despite the software author’s supported path not including direct install. If the person was willing to learn docker (which is not very difficult if you can follow a tutorial and use compose files), they’d be able to quickly accomplish what they want while also opening more doors for them in the future.

But the ai means it has to call a server with the information, so I can’t get past that.

That just means they need to ship the model and a way to run it locally. I’d love that, and wouldn’t give a shit if it took a long time to run on my hardware for something like that

I’m not surprised at all. My wife and I only use 3rd party metal bands because the factory bands gave us both chemical burns.

Yeah, who doesn’t want hot and humid air blowing in their face on a hot and humid day?

on-call standby pay, and on-call pay.

I’ve only had one place that gave me any kind of stipend to be on call, everywhere else just expects it as part of the job description with no added benefit.

I’ve used potash within the last week! Potash is here already mwahahahaha

Pardon me if I don’t believe the lying fascist at his word. Let’s hear from the victim/experts on how they’re doing.

Maybe they just pay attention? I saw this headline and thought “of course they will, never let a tragedy go to waste”

Maybe ivermectin will cure his burned down house.

I love that coffee cup

That was a previous term for climate change.

And since they lost the battle of the 80s, 90s, and 00s against openly gay people and society is rapidly becoming more accepting of gay marriage, they had to shift their targets

And if you lived through those fights and were paying attention, you can hear the exact same arguments again, just with the details filed off.

Oh they can turn off musk’s algorithm quite easily: just ban the whole fucking site.

He’s folded like origami on this already, and he’ll do it again.

Being intellectually disabled doesn’t preclude you from being an asshole, and to imply as much is kinda insulting to their humanity.

I’ve known many (and am related to one) intellectually disabled people, and while most of them were nice, I’ve met a few who were raging assholes (one of which was given an assigned seat on public transportation because he constantly bothered high school kids and the driver was sick of it). The intellectually disabled are human and aren’t necessarily good people just because of their diagnosis; they’re just people who have personality flaws just like the rest of us.

Apropos of nothing, this was an article about substance from a year ago:

Substack faces user revolt over anti-censorship stance on neo-Nazis

Fuck substack.

Shit, this article is about stack overflow, not substack. Too early, but still fuck substack.

Do you have any resources on that kind of setup? I appreciate that constructive advice!

Among 12th graders, 66% reported no recent use of alcohol, marijuana, cigarettes, or e-cigarettes, while 80% of 10th graders and 90% of 8th graders avoided these substances entirely

Turns out, the people running this thought of that possibility.

Interesting, it was running on this system, so it may actually have been wear that killed the drive. I’ll have to look into that config and see if it’s worth getting a new nvme to throw into the cook box.

Thanks for that info!
