Seriously I couldn’t even get my wife to use a third party messaging app.

Thank God iPhones finally support…RCS.

The problem is, if we fold on our kids, we are essentially just handing them over to meta. Forever. They will end up being as locked in and helpless as every other adult.

Facebook is the new smoking. Even worse. Because parents are now expected to put the cigarettes into their kids mouths themselves…and if they don’t? Your kid will be a social leper, and have the most miserable adolescence available.

Parents can’t even feign ignorance. We know how bad social media is…but we’re addicted. They’ve got dopamine on a treble hook right into our brains and they know it.

That’s not even teenage hyperbole. Like that’s legit what life is like for kids. No socials? May as well not exist.

What do you mean? Low-income consumers who feel they were wronged have the right to fair compensation through forced arbitration.

(Tonge firmly in-cheek, if not obvious)

Because they Uncare?

Lenovo T-series is generally a good pick whenever you want to run Linux.

I’d say the same for their USFF and SFF form factors as well. Great systems for homelabs, I have several (and my laptop is a T495, and my son has my old T470s).

Problem with laptops and (u)SFFs is storage capability. If you want a NAS you need some sort of external JBOD or you will be limited to 1-2 storage disks (and possibly have to boot I.e. truenas from USB).

If you can find them with a PCIe slot (or extra m.2 slot that exposes 4 lanes at least), you should be able to get a RAID card and rig up a way to use eSATA and some sort of external disk enclosure though.

Pay attention to performance/watt. Consider different boxes for different roles if you want…I.e. ZFS doesn’t need a lot of processing power, but it does like RAM. If you have a system that can use dirt-cheap DDR3(L) like a 6th or 7th gen Intel, that may be a better choice for NAS-only.

Then use a more powerful NUC or (u)sff for proxmox and run LXCs or VMs on it.

By posting this type of shit you are building his platform and legitimizing his opinion.

You are an enabler of one of the most privileged, selfish, and arrogant pieces of shit alive.

Stop.

This goes for OP and Futurism.

People like Altman live by the saying “No press is bad press”, by both ways you can interpret it:

• There’s no such thing as bad press; and
• Not being in the press is bad.

Even if ragebait/engagement-bait. In the end it only legitimizes him.

And I get that by responding I’m also engaging, but I see this type of comment as more of an “investment” than an “engagement”.

They have the top google spots now for just about any question on any topic.

Obviously the next step is to use that position to their advantage – hide the content until the user is logged in. The Pinterest Strategy.

A lot of the OG’s have moved over. From Diggs exoduses (exodi? exodipodes?) We’re always the first to move, though. Digital nomads.

And the ones that would have been on Digg had they been born a decade or more earlier.

Eventually everyone else follows us, the new platform turns to shit, and we migrate again.

I hope the open, federated nature of lemmy prevents that…or at least delays it.

Don’t worry, inflation is making it so a single dollar will be practically useless soon. Literally nobody will give a fuck about coins. A homeless person would spit in your face if you gave him 50 cents, because it’d be that insulting. Coins will have a melt value significantly higher than their face value.

I tried using zoo with qwen3.6 and 2.5 but it failed horrendously. My card could only handle like a 16k context window with those models, and the prompt alone was like 11k.

Tried opencode and that was fast…but can’t get it to interact with system yet. More playing to do.

What a timely comment.

I recently gave my kid a gaming PC for his birthday…which I used as an excuse to upgrade my GPU from a 1660 Super to a 5060ti 16GB

Combined with a 5600x3d and 32gb of system memory.

I just started messing with local LLMs yesterday. “Getting started” is rather easy. pacman -S lm-studio (I use arch, btw), launch it, download a model that your hardware supports, and start talking.

Right now I’m working on getting it to talk to vscode.

No no no, the backdoor is useful for gaming, not the OS.

The game companies need backdoors for their Anti Cheat, you see.

At worst, someone else will pick up the Slack. At best, they’ll find what Matters Most.

Router is a bunch of old PCs I frankensteined and put opnsense on.

Ended up i5-7500, 8gb mem, 500gb SSD.

Put in a dual-port SFP+ NIC and a dual port 2.5GbaseT nic.

One of the 2.5gb ports goes to my cable modem.

One of the 10gb ports takes Twinax to my dumb LAN switch, the other to my dumb server switch, which right now is really just my storage network…the link to the firewall isn’t doing anytuhing.

The dumb switches I have here, though, they’ve got some sort of weird MAC learning disability. It cannot handle macflaps, which I found out about because I had a hard time roaming between APs.

So I got a Netgear GS108T and put OpenWRT on it, and that switches between my APs.

My APs are Linksys MX4200v1’s. Also openwrt. Got four of them…one upstairs, two in the ground floor, one in the basement. Can get very close to 1Gbps anywhere in the house on wifi. Not the best platform for openwrt (ipq807x), as I’ve found out…but it was a hella cheap deal for tri-band AX APs.

Well. Guess he’s done with that house, now.

Not if you use FIPS kernels. Nvidia makes sure of that.

What is a “specialty food staple”?

Potato potato. They are joining the shit tier of websites that have “the result” you’re probably looking for, but won’t let you see it without logging in or using their app.

Same reason I fucking hate Instagram.

Doesn’t suprrise me. Spez is such a fucking snowflake.

When I search for things at work, and reddit may have the top result, I stopped clicking them becasue they want me to log in.

When I search for things on my phone, and reddit is one of the top results, I stopped clicking it because now it won’t let me read it in browser, and forces me to use their app.

They got rid of old reddit.

Clearly they are trying to pad their logged-in user counts.

I’m done. I’m sorry to say that I’d rather have an AI-generated answer (that likely is citing the right answer on reddit anyway) than to give reddit the satisfaction of making me open their app or log in.

Fuck them.

Fuck spez.
