Funny, my old kindle seems to be downloading e-books just fine from my self-hosted server.

Meanwhile, watching the NCAA game yesterday I watched multiple commercials from Microsoft stating copilot as something to use in your daily work place and work flow. And I didn’t see any disclaimer that AI was for entertaining purposes only and that they weren’t liable for killing your business.

Encrypt all the things and don’t even demand ransom, just throw the key away!

He was laid off last month, along with 4,000 of his ex-colleagues at Block — the company behind Square, Afterpay and Cash App.

Well it would seem it would be a good time for the article’s Andrew Hamilton and his ex-colleagues to look at some basic black hat skills if they’re using AI Slop in their codebase.

Maybe time to move retirement accounts into cash.

Who needs to track asteroids when everyone can have NzI-Link internet?

Right now I’m just getting discourse to run via docker compose. I have that up and running finally and got to the splash screen locally but of course it needs a domain so I’m working on that route while my reverse proxy is throwing a fit.

I haven’t gotten to the plugin yet but just reading up on the git documentation it sounded like running it in a docker compose isn’t officially supported so I was just posting to see if maybe someone had has some experience and could offer up some pointers before I bang my head against a wall this weekend.

Hey on this note, I was looking to do discourse with the mumble plugin but I wanted to do this via docker compose. Has anyone gotten that to work or have a good source they can point me to since at least on the discorse mumble plugin I noticed that it stated that their install instructions were for the stock non-docker solution only.

I mean honestly yeah, I’m not going to waste my time with some junior developer who can’t explain how the code works and how it interacts with whatever framework I’m working on. I ain’t got time for that nonsense, especially when the code I deal with involves safety critical sections of code.

Honestly if my work ever decided to allow unfettered AI code generation into my code base, I would immediately look for a new job at that point.

Well that’s going to make your senior developers quit.

I guess we’ll see how that goes come September timeframe.

A PC where I can’t install what I want? WTF is the point of that bullshit.

Thanks but I’ll stick to my steam deck for my portable Linux computing needs where I can do what the hell I want.

Really reinforces my belief that the stockmarket is driven by idiots.

Reminds me of this old Kal cartoon:

Granted AI will probably doom us all but not how the substance post says it will.

I guess the question is did you set up VA-API and do you have an processor with integrated graphics?

When I set my instance up, I had to do just a bit of ID’ing since my processor/MB has a iGPU at device 0 that was for debugging purposes and wasn’t going to be up to snuff for encoding.

See BS is not scared of the FCC, they’re bootlicking. But I’m sure Colbert is trying to be diplomatic.

Same, went and bought a pair of drives to replace some older ones when I read the first stories about ram last year. Just hope the other drives can hold out.

wipe and install any flavor Linux.

There I fixed the entire article for this guy.

If your talking about gamers, let’s be real here. They’ll lap up whatever scraps and bullshit Nvidia will give them and then thank Nvidia for gouging them.

I mean look at the recent stream surveys.

The hate comes from the fact that these companies don’t want you to own a gaming computer or any computer anymore. These tech companies want you to rent forever and never own anything because owning doesn’t make them all the money.

Combine that with the AI driven memory shortage and NVIDIA moving away from making gaming video cards and cutting their MSPR program it’s clear that they don’t want you to own anything going forward and just be only steaming on their servers and not just having it be an option.

As this asshole and his asshole company tries to force adoption via shoving it down Windows 11 users without consent.

Reminder that now is a great time to switch to Linux desktop.
