I moved from VMware Fusion after a hardware failure and migrated to Proxmox. I use VMs to isolate client information and to test and use different OS versions and distros.

I have a VM that runs Docker and connect to it via SSH for running applications I don’t want to install on my main workstation.

My main workstation is also a VM.

I came from bare metal Linux for years and found that I spent too much time recompiling kernels to make it work with my hardware.

Now that everything is a VM, changing underlying hardware, and even hypervisor is trivial.

If VMware hadn’t been bought by Broadcom and allowed me to virtualise x86 on Apple Silicon, I’d still be running VMware Fusion. UTM by the way is completely unreliable … I really tried.

As it is, I’m running Proxmox on AMD.

in summary, Proxmox allows me to build what I need when I need it virtually and it’s running on a standard Debian host.

This is not limited to CompSci graduates and gets worse the older you get.

It’s also not limited to CompSci.

It’s a collection of repos for different aspects of using SDR to decode, collate and distribute to all manner of different projects.

There’s plenty of documentation and a set of wikis.

Essentially it’s like walking into your nearest hardware store with the instructions to “build a house” … some assembly required.

PHP is written in text files which can be managed using any number of version control systems. Pick your poison.

As someone else said, you can document your patches with a Docker file, but you’ll still need to track your changes.

Ultimately, what you’re essentially doing is maintaining a local fork of the code and keeping it synchronised with upstream.

Yes please!

Tomorrow my weekly podcast goes into how this map is created. It’s quite the journey.

What is your evidence of this?

I figured that a good percentage of the delivery robots would simply “disappear” from the map and be rebirthed as battle bots in some arena with chainsaw accessories.

I think that unless you have some way to enforce accuracy, it’s meaningless and AFAIK automatic detection tools are no better than chance and to my knowledge, getting worse.

An AI bot operator isn’t going to tag their material as [AI], more likely than not they’d attempt to use [NOT AI].

I’d also point out that while lemmy doesn’t (yet) support hashtags, any “tagging” would probably benefit from using the existing method using a #tag.

Ultimately, you need to ask yourself, is undeclared AI that goes undetected by the community a problem, or the new “normal”?

I’ll note that I’m not a proponent of Assumed Intelligence and think that when the bubble bursts we’re going to be in a world of hurt, but with a little luck the billionaires will have lost their shirts in the process.

When you watch a movie in public with native audio and subtitles and you speak or understand the audio language, you’ll often hear scattered laughter before the main audience laughs because often the subtitles have a delay for the punchline of a joke, which means that those who already heard the joke laughed at the moment it happened, not a second or more later when the subtitles arrive.

Most of the time the subtitles match the audio, sometimes they change a cultural reference, or infrequently completely get the translation wrong for no apparent reason which can become a new accedental joke all on its own. Then there’s weird ones where numbers like someone’s age or the time are wrong.

Both have been prioritising “engagement” over “results” because it allows them to advertise to you more.

In case you didn’t realise, if the product is free, you’re the product and both have been doing an amazing job out of extracting value from your eyeballs.

Unsurprisingly, they’re both owned by the same company.

… and Microsoft Windows continues its unbroken winning streak as the best advocate for migrating to Linux …

Over the years I’ve seen people in high profile roles resign in protest, but I’ve never understood it. I still don’t.

Is the whole point to bring attention to an issue and then what, hope for the best?

Is it not being able to look at yourself in the mirror and resigning with extra steps?

Is it a public dummy spit?

How does resigning actually fix something, or is that not a consideration?

As I said, I don’t understand.

Anyone?

This is by far the fastest, safest and most complete option.

One tip: Make sure that all the things you want to export are ticked because by default they’re not.

You can even set this up as a regular process if you want.

… and nothing of value was lost …

Nothing quite like creating a specific incentive for researchers to seek “alternative” sources of income as payment for their research efforts.

Microsoft tried this … seems to be working out for them … not.
