Yeah we’re definitely playing on hardcore mode. There are some reasons for optimism though. A lot of people who wouldn’t think about these things a few years ago are talking about class. I’m talking regular peope I know. These issues were just not on our horizon until recently. They see things very differently than they used to. That’s the hopium I’m huffing. 😄

Yes. :D
And in capitalism right now there’s no obvious way to reverse the trend. That said, if the critical theory of capitalism (and history) holds any water, the victory is very likely to be temporary, followed by mass unrest and significant change. What kind of change is not so clear but we may have a say if we’re educated enough and organized, so at least we know who to support when the time comes.

This whole thread reads like slop.

That’s the thing, you correctly see the difference in available time after work. There’s more to it. The difference stacks over time. Having read this or that makes you understand terminology, patterns, builds confidence and over time that marginal extra time I have had has made it possible for me to grok a manual in 15 minutes but my father who hasn’t had that time takes 45 minutes from his shorter available time. Then there’s all the modifying details around kids or no kids, how much more hours the lower parts of the working class have to do to pay rent today vs earlier and so on and so forth. Everyone really but it’s just much worse for the lower sections.
And that doesn’t account for the availability of products available without extensive research. There’s few brands owned by few large corpos that spend a lot pushing them left front and center on their digital platforms. That increases significanty the amount of work anyone has to do to avoid surveillance in this case. And as you understand, increasing the amount of work, increases the amount of time, and there’s hard cutoffs which lead to the work not being done, which leads to the marketing campaigns succeeding in getting dad to buy a Ring. These people know study, research and know well how to get people who seemingly have choices to choose their product 8 out of 10 times. Especially when transacting via their digital platform.

Always has been and it falls on the ones that aren’t defeated by the pamphlet to help the rest, since their labour allows the standard of life pamphlet interpreters enjoy. 😂

But this maybe implies that there’s a possibility to change this behaviour. Which is infeasible. If you’re not implying that and you’re just saying that in vacuum, then yeah sure. That said it’s not the only reaaon why things suck more and changing this behaviour is not the only way to not have things suck, For example a government in a more democratic system might serve its citizens more than its corporations and ban these practices.

What you’re saying makes me think you aren’t aware of the technical knowledge of your typical doorbell user, which is basically little to none.

Yeah. It’s crazy. I would choose neither because I can DIY something secure but for non-technical folks in the North America today the Chinese gov’t having your video is safer than a private US corporation.

When many who still aren’t in cities move into them. Urbanization in China has yet more runway and that drives rail utilization.
- Comment on Immich Flatpak 6 days ago:
It probably can be packaged in a flatpak but it would be more of a challenge than using the docker package. You could implement your use case today with the default docker compose setup. You could be up and running in minutes. Start it with
-dand it would even start automatically on reboot. - Comment on Delta moves toward eliminating set prices in favor of AI that determines how much you personally will pay for a ticket 6 days ago:
They can’t. Competition for capital is forcing them to extract the everliving profit out of people. Their competitors would not be far behind on this train if it increases profitability.

This. Also it’s not difficult to expand at all. There are multiple ways. Just ask here. You could also ask for hypothetical scenarios now if you like.

- Comment on Scientists make game-changing breakthrough that could slash costs of solar panels: 'Has the potential to contribute to the energy transition' 1 week ago:
If the coat of panels drops significantly, there would be more capital available to spend on inverters, even if they stay at the current prices, still decreasing the cost of deployment.
- Comment on Tesseract is shutting down 1 week ago:
Much more important than the enjoyable culture is the material aspect - how much work each developer has to do. Nice vibes help delay burnout but rarely eliminate it. Or let it happen with a smile on your face. Instead pay the developers so they reduce hours worked elsewhere, or contribute code. If you can, for either of those. So this isn’t aimed at you personally, but anyone reading.

- Comment on PSA: If the first Smart Search in Immich takes a while 1 week ago:
Nice. I discovered that the Android app shows results a bit slower than the web. The request doesn’t reach Immich during the majority of the wait. I’m not sure why. When searching from the web app, the request is received by Immich immediately.

All-in, I wanted something on the order of 1MB for client app, server, all dependencies, everything.
Okay that’s gotta be radically different!

Well, you gotta start it somehow. You could rely on compose’es built-in service management which will restart containers upon system reboot if they were started with
-d, and have the right restart policy. But you still have to start those at least once. How’d you do that? Unless you plan to start it manually, you have to use some service startup mechanism. That leads us to systemd unit. I have to write a systemd unit to dodocker compose up -d. But then I’m splitting the service lifecycle management to two systems. If I want to stop it, I no longer can do that via systemd. I have to go find where the compose file is and issuedocker compose down. Not great. Instead I’d write a stop line in my systemd unit so I can start/stop from a single place. But wait 🫷 that’s kinda what I’m doing isn’t it? Except if I start it withdocker compose upwithout-d, I don’t need a separate stop line and systemd can directly monitor the process. As a result I get logs injournaldtoo, and I can use systemd’s restart policies. Having the service managed by systemd also means I can use aystemd dependencies such as fs mounts, network availability, you name it. It’s way more powerful than compose’s restart policy. Finally, I like to clean up any data I haven’t explicitly intended to persist across service restarts so that I don’t end up in a situation where I’m debugging an issue that manifests itself because of some persisted piece of data I’m completely unaware of. - Comment on PSA: If the first Smart Search in Immich takes a while 2 weeks ago:
Let me know how the search performs once it’s done. Speed of search, subjective quality, etc.

I use a fixed tag. 😂 It’s more a simple way to update. Change the tag in SaltStack, apply config, service is restarted, new tag is pulled.

Let me know how inference goes. I might recommend that to a friend with a similar CPU.
