I think this is probably more a copy of various East Asian social media services than anything Reddit-like. Pretty sure TikTok and a bunch of Chinese video streaming services already do this. I think the whole Money -> Gifts -> Rubies -> Money chain is intended to dance around money laundering legislation. The same way that Pachinko machines aren't technically considered gambling in Japan.

Also, what is “Harry” short for?

Harold?

The problem isn't just that people are making AI slop: It's also a problem that Zuck has seen the engagement that this trash generates and realized that it's good for Meta's metrics. They're never going to do anything to stop it if the alternative is that investors might realize that Facebook is a rotten log.

If you're doing activities outdoors: Always bring an extra bottle of water. That is to say, bring a bottle to drink, and then another for when you get thirstier than expected. This season is relatively cool, but you really don't want to be caught unprepared. Also: Arizona has a law requiring businesses to serve water for free if you ask. Don't let anyone bullshit you and ask for money.

Keep an eye on the weather reports, and do not hike down washes, ravines, or narrow canyons if there's a rain storm anywhere nearby. Heavy rainfall several miles away can turn a sunny, dry ravine into a raging torrent that can kill. If you see a road that's currently flowing with water, don't try to cross it, even in a big car. You don't know how deep it really is, and even just a few cms of fast water is enough to sweep a person off their feet and drown them. It doesn't take much more to get a car stuck.

If you're going to Northern Arizona, bring warm clothes. People can be caught unprepared when they leave Phoenix for a day trip and it's 60⁰F, but when they get to Flagstaff 2h later it's snowing.

If you see a Jumping Cholla:

Don't get too close. Their spines are longer than they look because they get so thin as to be nearly invisible.

Just from a quick glance, you might want to check your client-side GET request: Ask yourself what happens when the file is larger than your packet buffer? Use the debugger or print statements to confirm if your expectations match reality. It might help to do some testing with a really tiny buffer (eg 5 bytes) so you can step through your 21 byte payload easily. What happens when your buffer is smaller than the DONE packet? If your implementation is correct then we would expect that even a 1 byte buffer should work in all cases.

I see a similar code pattern in your server-side PUT request, so if you can solve it for one half, you should be able to fix both.

I got a secondhand Amscope a few weeks back. Haven't used it for soldering yet, because I need a proper temperature controlled iron with finer tips than my current one.

It's been great for pulling splinters out of my fingers though!

Look up the GPU on these charts to find out what codecs it will support: https://developer.nvidia.com/video-encode-and-decode-gpu-support-matrix-new

NVENC support will tell you what codecs your GPU can generate for client devices, and NVDEC support determines the codecs your GPU can read.

Then compare it with the list of codecs that your Intel can handle natively.

If that's elephant garlic, then it's the wrong amount. That shit is 3x the size with 1/10 the flavor. Fuck that, I'll peel a whole head of normal garlic myself.

If you want to move your containers to a different location, look into configuring docker's data-root: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/24309526/how-to-change-the-docker-image-installation-directory

You copy /var/lib/docker to a new location and update /etc/docker/daemon.json

I will say: Moving data-root to an NFS mount isn't going to work well. I've tried it, and docker containers rely on filesystem features to run their overlays. On an NFS, this feature isn't present, so your services will duplicate the container's entire filesystem. This will tank your performance and is basically unusable for anything but trivial examples. Docker data-root basically needs to be a "physical" disk.

I've had no issues using NFS shares mounted as docker volumes. It's just the data-root where it'll fail.

If you're doing it from scratch, I'd recommend starting with a filesystem that has parity checks and filesystem scrubs built in: eg BTRFS or ZFS.

The benefit of something like BRTFS is that you can always add disks down the line and turn it into a RAID cluster with a couple commands.

Thing is: There's nothing there

The only businesses I saw in those towns were a lunch counter, the prison, and a shop selling "souvenirs" made by prisoners. Without the prison, there goes 2/3 of your economy (well, probably a lot more than 2/3 unless you pull a serious lunch crowd). So now your town is just a lunch counter in the middle of the desert. If you're lucky, maybe there's a tourist attraction further down the highway bringing travelers who will keep your restaurant open.

I've been to those towns in AZ. The world would lose nothing if they went away.

I don't see any similar outcry about places like Jerome that went to shit when their mines disappeared. Of course, in those cases, the only people hurt were the mine workers.

 

I think I'm reading this blogpost correctly: Mobian devs working on maintaining Linux kernel support for Pinephone painted themselves into a corner with tech debt, and may not be able to continue porting new kernel updates. Pinephone Pro runs a different chipset with wider community support, so it's not affected.

I didn't see any communities or articles talking about this, so either it's not a big deal, or nobody is talking about it.

 

Out of curiosity, is it the same for anyone else?

 

In TNG, Picard says that the Federation has evolved past a need for money. Indeed, we never see any.

In DS9 though, Quark talks a lot about bar tabs and costs. Surely O'Brien and Bashir don't get free drinks, so how do they pay? I'd assume that any Ferengi worth his lobes won't accept anything that can be replicated, so do Federation officers get a stipend of tradeable "value" when interacting with cultures that still expect payment?

I think there's also a reference to Quark paying rent to Sisko for running the bar. Presumably that's denominated in latinum. I wonder where it goes? Maybe the secret "Garak black ops" fund.

 

Let's assume that Janeway never separated Tuvix and kept him as a crew member. Would the crew have still gotten home?

Assumptions:

  • The subsequent story arc (and episode plots) are generally the same
  • Any episode where the threat is caused by (or related to) the individual personalities of Neelix or Tuvok never happens
  • Any episode where the day is saved by the individual personalities of Neelix or Tuvok is more dangerous
  • We can assume that the strengths/weaknesses of Tuvix remain throughout the series

Do they still make it home? If not, what episodes are likely to end in disaster?

Many mushroom identification and foraging books being sold on Amazon are likely generated by AI with no human authorship. These books could provide dangerous misinformation and potentially lead to deaths if people eat poisonous mushrooms based on the AI's inaccurate descriptions. Two New York mushroom societies have warned about the risks of AI-generated foraging guides. Experts note that safely identifying wild mushrooms requires careful research and experience that an AI system does not have. Amazon has since removed some books flagged as AI-generated, but more may exist. Detecting AI-generated books and authors can be difficult as the systems can fabricate author bios and images. Relying on multiple credible sources, as well as guidance from local foraging groups, is advised for safely pursuing mushroom foraging.

I have a .ch domain name, but I am not a resident, citizen, or business of Switzerland. For now, this is not a problem, but it's always possible that the rules change and I am ineligible to renew it down the line.

Is there such thing as a domain holding company? I'm thinking of someone in Switzerland who will be the registered owner while I have a legal contract defining my rights to use the domain?

This is all very hypothetical, and I'm happy to just wing it for now (it's mostly hobby/personal stuff). More just curious.

Just for fun, I looked into what it would take to register a business in Switzerland. I'd need a Swiss work permit to file for a sole proprietorship, and then I'd still have to pay ~60 CHF a month for a virtual business address.

For years, I've gotten by with a desktop at home running Arch and a work laptop running Kubuntu. Now I want a laptop that's not owned by my job, so that I can use a computer outside the house and not have my workplace own the IP rights of whatever I do on it. My workload is basically just going to be emacs and web browsing, so basically any distro can do it.

I've already got the laptop (HP Elitebook 840 G5, secondhand), but now it's time for the distro. I don't plan to use this laptop often, since it'll mostly be when I travel a few times a year. I don't want Arch, because I don't want to install 6 months of software updates the night before a vacation and then hope that everything works.

Thus, I'm looking at Fedora Silverblue, since that can apply updates atomically on the system, and I can always roll back. I'm wondering if anyone else has good recommendations for a distro to serve my needs.

 

Every summer in my neighborhood, this one tree will fruit a silky rosegill and we have standing permission from the homeowner to harvest it. This year, looks like there are two. I wish I'd passed by the tree earlier this week before the big one started to shrivel.

 

I don't understand the "Nobody" part, especially since in most memes it's just blank. It makes sense when "Nobody" was saying something that most people disagree with, eg:

Nobody: I love slamming my fingers in a car door

Ford: New F-150 now comes with a dedicated finger-slamming door

That would make sense. It's a joke about someone being out of touch with popular sentiment. But the ones where it's:

Nobody:

Optimus prime taking a bath: Ahh, my electronics!

It seems like the nobody part doesn't relate to the meme in any way, except for being a common format for presenting things.

 

The name of this instance, lemmy.film reminds me of Lenfilm, the famous Soviet production company. Anyone want to share their favorite Soviet movies (not just from Lenfilm)?

This is one of my favorite movies. It's not for everyone, but if you like long unconventional films, maybe you'll like it too.

Movie contains scenes depicting violence, human misery, nudity, and filthy/unsanitary medieval life.

Last night while updating my system, I noticed that a random aur package my system depends on was orphaned in the aur. It's some random deep-down dependency of another AUR package, and it's not received any upstream commits in a while. Nice and stable, just needed an owner. I decided to adopt the package before someone else did.

It was kinda scary how simple it is to adopt an orphaned package. Create AUR account... click an email link... Done. If someone wanted to squat the package for malicious purposes, it would be stupidly simple.

I get that this is a problem for all community repos, not just AUR (npm, anyone?), but it's still an unsettling prospect. I feel like it goes unacknowledged some times.
