  Some ads have used browser exploits to infect visitors in the past. So this is a very, very bad idea, if it actually is implemented in a way that is hard to filter for ad networks.

  People are conflating the LLM and the app.

  Depends on where you live. In Germany the government will of course take care of the burial of no one else does it, but parents or children are responsible for whatever burial cost is left after using the estate, even if they refused the inheritance.

  Ask the guy who had his wife deported and is still supporting Trump.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Self-hosted media server to share with 5+ people?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I am running plex server on a low power i3-7xxx. thanks to the igpu that thing can handle a few 1080p transcodes at once. Even 4K HDR transcoding is possible, though I never get more than one or two of them at the same time. Unless you need it to encode subtitles into the video or you have many simultaneous HDR to SDR conversions going at once any cheap old PC with an intel 7th gen or newer and igpu should do well. Oh, and I don’t think they can handle AV1, but that is still very uncommon.

  Even less shitty LLMs tend to hallucinate.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are old people usually attracted to other old people?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  As a 40 year old male I find that character becomes a bigger factor, even if it sounds cheesy. Sure, a hot but bland 20 something can be attractive and that will not change, but I would rather spend my time with an interesting 60 year old. Maybe it is because I am no Adonis either. But I also like to believe that a DiCaprio type situation would make me deadly afraid of taking advantage of someone at a much different stage of life.

  I would also theorize that as it becomes more difficult to guess the age by looks alone character becomes a more important differentiator. Of course some signs of age can not be hidden, but there are plenty of 18 year olds dressing much older as well as lots of older women not giving off grandma vibes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is your favourite way to transfer files in your homelab?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  WinSCP for editing server config

  Rsync for manual transfers over slow connections

  ZFS send/receive for what it was meant for

  Samba for everything else that involves mounting on clients or other servers.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do most Americans use an iPhone?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Not an American, but as an iPhone user who has had Android phones since cupcake before: iPhones „just work“, they are a lot less janky than Android, the ecosystem is smooth (although admittedly and intentionally less so when leaving it), they get updated for longer (and at the same time!) and apple has a much better privacy track record than the competition (a low bar).

  Yes, I would prefer to install my apps from anywhere I want on the device I should own. An open source phone from top to bottom would be my dream, but Android is about as far removed from that as an iphone. Google took Linux and made it into a Frankenstein nightmare that is wholly dependent on them.

  Just try to stick to open source and make your phone respect your privacy and see how far you get. Start at the usually locked bootloader, install a rom without google and see how few apps are left that do not require google services. And even then you are most likely dependent on binary blobs for the drivers, meaning the manufacturers can (and will) pull the rug from under your efforts as soon as they no longer feel like updating their shitty built of Android for the device in time.

  I do not have time for that. What I have is enough money to buy a phone that comes as close as possible to my idea of safety, freedom and privacy without constantly jumping through burning hoops. If I am to be in a cage, it better be golden.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft experiments with ‘Drag Tray’ — share menu appears when dragging a file in Windows 11⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Knowing Microsoft it’s probably more like a cloud upload tray.

  Did they fix the explorer context menu yet?

  A bit of roundup and horse paste, the MAGA cure-all.

  Ah yes, vitamins, the secret cure-all that has been kept from us all those years without brainworms at the helm.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Not allowed to work from home⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Fuck their data, what about my own? That pest of an app is not getting onto my device. And neither is anything else that gives an employer any control over my device.

  Don’t you hate it when there is a bug in your code that magically attracts ads? They just appear without warning or reason.
