Buddy, the useful thing you want do with it is also socially impermissible.
- Comment on At Davos, NVIDIA, Microsoft CEOs deny AI bubble 9 hours ago:
If it’s this useful, we’re (and they) are fucked too because the economy would collapse under falling aggregate demand due to falling wages and layoffs. The “people will find new jobs” won’t save us from a shift this large without a depression.

- Comment on Trump Is Obsessed With Oil. But Chinese Batteries Will Soon Run the World 2 days ago:
Yeah they can’t match top of the line Li-Ion like lithium-cobalt batteries. Neither can LFP, but LFP is good enough for lower range EVs cars as they’re already used in such. Sodium ion has even lower density than LFP but not dramatically so and it’s still early days so their density is likely to improve. Look at these two cells currently on sale:
The first one is a CATL LFP. The second is some smaller manufacturer’s sodium ion. The 729Whr vs 713Whr, 1944cm³ vs 2593cm³. If the sodium ones can be made cheap enough, these are already usable in low range vehicles like Nissan Leaf or equivalent. And then there’s buses, trucks, other ICE powered equipment.
- Comment on Trump Is Obsessed With Oil. But Chinese Batteries Will Soon Run the World 3 days ago:
Beyond EVs, the much cheaper sodium-ion battery is entering mass production in China. We can already buy B-grade cells on AliExpress. This will have implications for all sorts of use cases that could use batteries but don’t due to cost.

Glad you like it! I played it a couple of years ago and found it a masterpiece. Probably my next fav game after Half-Life.

This is the version I setup just yesterday. Much simpler setup than the AIO. The AIO controls Docker to manage its collection of containers.

- Comment on Alternatives to syncthing for syncing files with android 1 week ago:
And when they do, you take care of it. Also, if you use Tailscale or equiv, you can stop Syncthing’s exposure to the internet. Then you can stay on a fixed version across clients and limit unexpected breakage that comes with autotomatic updates.

Build a Syncthing Android apk yourself. You don’t need to update to every release. I’m still using 1.30 with 2.x.

Is there difference in how much storage space is needed between the two approaches?

How does this compare to redarc? It seems to be similar.

Still, those students who WANT to learn will not be held back by AI.
Our society probably won’t survive if only the students who want to learn do so. 😔

Whack-a-mole that creates plausible deniability.
- Comment on we need more users 1 week ago:
The process we get more users is that something material changes in current tire fire user’s life that puts them over the threshold needed to look for alternative. Then they look. Lemmy is the obvious Reddit alternative, it’s well indexed in search engines. Then they try it. If the quality of content is decent, there’s a decent chance they stay. They know the quantity won’t be as high, that’s the major reason they haven’t switched to begin with. So for this process to keep functioning, we need to maintain the quality.
Of course we should also suggest Lemmy, but probably when asked or otherwise appropriate. Or else it may have the opposite effect that naked shilling often has.

This is going to be a bigger deal than I thought. Can’t cross 91% lib scan even if I delete the music lib and then upgrade. Even turning on debug logging doesn’t reveal anything helpful. Rolling back to 10.10 for now. Will attempt again when they force me to upgrade.
- Comment on Stack Overflow in freefall: 78 percent drop in number of questions 2 weeks ago:
How do you know it’s a good answer? That requires prior knowledge that you might have. My juniors repeatedly demonstrate they’ve no ability to tell whether an LLM solution is a good one or not. It’s like copying from SO without reading the comments, which they quickly learn not to do because it doesn’t pass code review.
- Comment on State of the Fin 2026-01-06 | Jellyfin 2 weeks ago:
Good note.
I seem to be suffering from this issue.
- Comment on State of the Fin 2026-01-06 | Jellyfin 2 weeks ago:
My god what a shit show.
It’s all normal though. Software development is hard and big changes mean more regressions. You do the changes when needed, then you work on squashing the bugs.
Library scan still going here. At least something is spinning because one CPU thread is pegged to 100%.
- Comment on State of the Fin 2026-01-06 | Jellyfin 2 weeks ago:
I do. It could be this:
After the migration it is recommended that you perform a full scan through the admin dashboard. We have observed that for some users, some elements might not work properly otherwise (e.g parental ratings). As of RC8 a scan for missing metadata may be required for music libraries to function properly. The first scan after the migration might also take quite a bit longer than usual, though subsequent scans should be as quick as before.
From the release notes.

Fucking hell. OK, I’ll upgrade again and wait longer. Mine’s ~15TB.
- Comment on State of the Fin 2026-01-06 | Jellyfin 2 weeks ago:
I do have a large collection and I haven’t checked the music lib state yet. I have a zfs snapshot from before the upgrade so I could restore if shit hits the fan.

Just upgraded from 10.07. Seems to have gone well. Library scan still going.

- Comment on YSK the Venezuelans community in the US is not representative of Venezuelans as a whole. 2 weeks ago:
This is true for almost every expat/immigrant community I’ve interacted with, including my own. It’s pretty obvious in voting pattern differences between the expat community and the native country. The far right gets 30-40% among Bulgarians in Canada compared to 10-20% back home. The left gets 1-2% here compared to 7-10% back home.
