That’s how you end up with another Zuckerberg!

Once you adjust it works well. The whole “find something at random to watch” paradigm is not really how *arr works, but if a coworker mentions a show I can have it ready when I get home.

I mean, it’s very possible an it was written by “an AI” (an LLM). For all we know the prompt the user gave it was something along the line of “get your pull requests accepted no matter the cost” and it’s fancy text prediction decided, in it’s ever ongoing roleplay, that the targeted blog post would shame the developer into accepting it’s PR.

I definitely don’t under the paranoia though. I don’t understand how people are convincing themselves any of this so close to actual intelligence. Ask your fancy LLM how to fix your cup that "is sealed at the top and “open at the bottom” or if you should drive to the car wash to get a car wash if it’s only 100ft away - both scenarios obvious to most any human and will need to be trained out of the current leading LLMs (if they haven’t been patched already).

Yes, that’s the capacity I’m using it in. I don’t have the Coral accelerator. I was trying to convey that pretty much any old PC and work for this with that one addon.

Just to add on to this:

Frigate is a open source solution that’ll take any RTSP capable camera and give it super powers. All those AI features the companies like Ring and Nest advertise, but locally. Sure, there is a learning curve - but it isn’t atrocious. And you’d need local hardware, but if you have a PC you could throw a $110 Coral USB Accelerator and get all this.

My first apartment had Comcast or DSL. I signed up, a month later I was part of their “experimental” data caps program. During the course of this I had a sales rep call and fell for the pitch. Turns out, he downright committed fraud and made promises that were patently untrue. It took 48 hours of back and forth in various mediums over the course of a month to get the situation resolved.

The solution was to complain on reddit and have an employee give me a one time use code to use Comcast’s VIP support center… Which is ridiculous that it exists in the first place.

I predicated all my subsequent (about 4) moves with “Comcast is not in the area” as a filtering criteria. Fuck Comcast.

Actually just started Chrysalis 6: Antvance into the Unknown this morning.

The entire series has been interesting so far!

You could try a CLI tool like: https://github.com/vossenwout/crev

It’s a tad overkill but you could also use: https://github.com/kodustech/kodus-ai

Ripgrep (rg) instead of grep or ack. Stupid fast.

yt-dlp since I don’t see it mentioned.

Drop tmux and use zellij (if you are scared of tmux, zellij is easier to learn IMO).

I acknowledge that, this is the result of unbridled capitalism.

When a person uses social engineering and manipulation to extract money from an individual or company it’s called fraud, when a large enough company does it it’s just business.

If only our government could give us some handy dandy consumer protection laws.

Of course it’s an Israeli firm that is enabling this greedy behavior. They already price gouge as it is. Can’t we go back to the formula of “our cost + our profit margin adjusted for market”. This bleeding the customer dry bullshit should stick in bullshit avoidable video game micro transactions.

I have some invites.

9? That’s quite a bit of compute lol.

My journey started with 1 server, then 4, then 5 (one functioning as a NAS), then 1 (just the NAS box), then I moved and decided to slim it down to a proper NAS and 1 mini PC/NUC clone. Now I’m up to two because the first was an Intel N105 which just isn’t up for the challenges lol

My employer still has an IT team, and I don’t think it’s going anywhere. We are migrating to “the cloud” but it’s slow and mainly a compliance thing so we can go global and house customer data local to them. They’re looking for a strong sysadmin / database admin role if you’re in the Atlanta area.

Last time I tried to migrate to Podman the first container I tried was incompatible, so was the second, and the third. Turns out at the time Linuxservers.io stuff wasn’t rootless podman compatible. There have since been some improvement according to my most recent Google search just now, so maybe a retry is coming up.

While I’ve never directly used them I’ve definitely seen content hosted by them. I’ve also seen CSAM promptly removed by them (I work for a hosting provider and occasionally will forward a report their way). I’ll drop them some mons.

I’m not sure how I’ll handle when it’s his time to go. Just the mere thought makes me tear up.

I maintain he’ll outlive me. Which can have more than one interpretation lol.

He’s was in perfect health according to the vet, up until the latest visit when we discovered a heart murmur. Monitoring it to see if it starts having symptoms. Hopefully none.

I switched at the start of the month, with the uncertainty around the economy I finally did my PC upgrade I’d been procrastinating, and - why get a windows license? Just go Linux.

If you don’t want to disable biometric auth, familiarize yourself with your phone and see if it has lockdown mode. Apple phones and most modern Android phones support it, using it will require your password / pin for unlocks. Put it into lockdown mode for the flight.
