It's like saying Immich is bad because you don't need to own storage or hardware for Google Photos. I know that. But it's not a valid point of discussion when talking about open source self hosted software.

Also, you don't need to open any ports. Just use tailscale. If you're a bit more technically savvy, set up a reverse proxy. It's honestly not that hard. Tailscale is just an app that you install. Why is everyone acting like it's complicated? Am I missing something?

This is a new one for me. Looks pretty sleek.

Yeah, easily the best one I've used on TV; that's for sure. I found it randomly on some forum a few months ago.

Love it. It's a shame that Wim Wenders is a douche tho.

Edit: I had forgotten about the soundtrack. Just gave it a listen. It reminds me a lot of another one of my favorites, Cat Sticks.

If you're on Android TV (I guess Fire TV works as well), try out Wholphin. It's miles ahead of the official TV app. Also, Findroid works great on mobile.

Everyday I realize that I don't hate capitalism enough.

Maybe they didn't come to Stephen Hawkins' party because they found out that he was a pedo.

Depends, honestly. Understand what the person feels comfortable with. Apart from a few close friends and family (and sometimes the list can get even smaller), I don't really want to be touched when I'm sad. Either listen to my rant, or if I'm being silent maybe leave me alone for a bit.

Anyway, just try to be mindful. I feel kinda annoyed by this one-size-fits-all approach to human interactions. It depends on the person, their culture, your relationship to them, the nature of the sorrow, and many other factors.

I'm about to get a PhD in math, and I am not the best at mental arithmetic either. I used to be really bad, but teaching has forced me to improve by a lot. It was very annoying for me to go back and forth between my notes/computer and the blackboard whenever there was a big multiplication, so I just slowly got better at doing it in my head. Also, it had the added benefit of letting me improvise more.

My college roommate got insanely good at it when he set an alarm on his phone that required him to do some calculation before he could turn it off. After about one semester, he was doing those half asleep lol. I think he finally decided on an alarm that would need him to walk outside and scan a QR code to turn off.

Just look around.

Some people simply can't see women having any authority/accountability in their life. It's the same with JD's wife, or until recently, Erika Kirk. I think it's a form of misogyny. These are not "poor little women" stuck with their husbands. They know exactly what they wanted, and they got it. They're also pieces of shit.

We're so back!

 
 

I'm sorry but I'm frustrated by the blatant misuse of AI by my students and colleagues alike. It's so obvious when they don't understand what they've written.

Sure, playing chess needs intelligence, dedication, and good chess players are smarter than an average person. But it's waaaay exaggerated in movies. I'm a math researcher, and in any movie, my department will be full of chess geniuses. But in reality, only about 10% of them even play chess.

 

I'm trying to pull manual shots from my Breville Bambino, and it simply isn't working. I'm following the steps in the manual. (Press and hold the double-shot button for pre-infusion, then release it for the extraction to start, and then press again to stop.) The issue is, the machine stops midway, before I press the button. Seems like it's doing the pre-programmed double shot volume, and stopping after that. Does anyone has experience pulling manual shots from this machine? Should I contact Breville for a repair?

Edit: It fixed itself after performing a factory reset.

 

I currently have a zfs pool with mirrored vdevs, and it's working well. It only has HDDs. I was planning to add an SSD I have lying around as a Metadata Special Device, since I've read that it can improve performance by quite a bit. I've also read that if I do that, and if the special device dies, I lose my pool.

Now, I don't want to buy new SSD pairs for mirroring this one, so is there a way to ensure that the metadata is also stored on the HDD as usual, along with the SSD? I guess I want it to work like a cache for the metadata, and not the only place for it.

I accidentally had my forgejo instance open for registration. When I noticed it, there were tons of fake accounts open, with empty repos opened for each account. All of them had emails associated with them. They might've just been trying to annoy me, or maybe there was some plan to be executed later, since they'd have access to basically free storage, without any tracking.

In any case, I have cleaned all of it, and now have a list of 19311 usernames and emails. Maybe I can submit these somewhere for a spam filter? Idk, just curious if there's any point in keeping this list.

Here's the list.
