- Comment on Wikimedia Foundation's plans to introduce AI-generated summaries to Wikipedia 1 day ago:
I am pretty rabidly anti-AI in most cases, but the use case for AI that I don’t think is a big negative is the distillation of information for simplification purposes. I am still somewhat against this in the sense that at the end of the day their summarization AI could hallucinate, and since they’ve admitted this is a solution to a problem of scale, then it’s not sensible to assume humans will be able to babysit it.
However… there is some inherent value to the idea that people will end up using AI to summarize Wikipedia using models of dubious quality with an unknown quantity of intentionally pre-trained bias, and therefore there is some inherent value to training your own model to present the information on your site in a way that is the “most free” of slop and bias.
- Comment on PeerTube crowdfunding to develop mobile app 4 days ago:
There are tons of apps that you use that are just well packaged PWAs, packaged as an app store app
So… native apps, that interface with a PWA.
There’s the kicker.
- Comment on PeerTube crowdfunding to develop mobile app 4 days ago:
Half of the equation is that those making the PWA need to make it well. The other half is that the platform you install it on has to support it well. And Google and Apple have decided to support PWAs as little as possible (in some cases going to far as to break entire functionalities. And since those two companies make the two most commonly used mobile OS’… well it’s better to just go with a native app.

I’m well aware of why they’re terrible, (Safari as well). However the unfortunate result is that they are terrible.
- Comment on PeerTube crowdfunding to develop mobile app 4 days ago:
Because PWA’s are terrible unfortunately.

It didn’t used to be like that and they actually mentioned in the deep dive that they’re getting back to the way it was before. Like the point of the game is loot goblining, but they’ve promised not to inundate the player with legendary weapons every twelve seconds so that you actually have time to savor the weapons you get between good drops.

Nginx Proxy Manager is probably your best bet at this stage. It’s a simple to use GUI and QOL features built on top of the industry standard Nginx. It should do everything you need it to do.

Lmao “relentlessly bullied”.
- Comment on Burned Loss 2 weeks ago:
Whoever he was 17 years ago is very likely not who he is today.
Surely whatever he learned from that experience has been learned, and we can move on.
Ok well you keep all that learning and growing in mind while you take a look at this comic that the artist uploaded to his site a few years ago on one of the anniversaries of the original comic.
- Comment on Burned Loss 2 weeks ago:
You are giving the author a whole lot of benefit of the doubt that he hasn’t earned. You’re looking at this through the lens of a guy using his art to express his feelings of grief. Thats certain what he wants you to think, and if that’s what it was, it wouldn’t be so bad. But that’s not what it is. I mean for gods sake a couple comics later the female character crying on the hospital bed in the fourth panel apologizes to his self-insert for having the miscarriage. If that’s the type of guy to empathize with I don’t know what to tell you other than YIKES pal.
This is just a comic made by a notorious and blatant narcissist who dug up the traumatic experience of someone else from his past in an effort to be taken more seriously because his comics were regularly mocked as a poorly made ripoff of another popular comic at the time. If bullying a bad person is immoral then hey maybe you’re right. I’m not really prepared to have that philosophical debate at this time lol.
- Comment on Burned Loss 2 weeks ago:
A genuine expression of how he felt about an event that had happened years prior? I guess that’s possibly, although an odd choice.
As for his tools, his tools were his ability to draw. He probably could have drawn something to express his feelings that didn’t involve his funny haha web comic characters.

- Comment on Burned Loss 2 weeks ago:
Well, it was more like putting his college girlfriend’s life experience into his work, and then making the work about him. You’ll notice he’s in 3 of the four panels and she’s in one. Where he appears as the empathetic and caring boyfriend, while she is the one grieving.

UnRAID doesn’t use RAID. So your storage array can expanded at any time by adding drives and those drives can be any size.
- Comment on Burned Loss 2 weeks ago:
Taking a traumatic, devastating, and most of all very personal health event like a miscarriage that your girlfriend went through and hand drawing it in a cartoon style to post on your public “Funny haha” gamer douche web comic is generally considered a dick move.
Some further context is that the author Tim Buckley was generally pretty despised at the time and considered a huge dick. The comic itself IIRC was full of that turn of the century gamer douche “haha women bad” type comedy. So the posting of that comic was not only like a comically huge tonal shift but almost felt like him trying to somehow appear more sensitive and likeable.

- Comment on getting 522 error Cloudflaired + Jellyfin + fail2ban 2 weeks ago:
but you can use CF as a reverse proxy via Cloudflared to deliver video so long as you aren’t on the CDN
You’ve got this backwards. You can use it so long as you do use the CDN.
Unless you are an Enterprise customer, Cloudflare offers specific Paid Services (e.g., the Developer Platform, Images, and Stream) that you must use in order to serve video and other large files via the CDN.
This further specifies that since you’re not an enterprise customer, in order to server video via the CDN you have to use their platform for your back end.
- Comment on getting 522 error Cloudflaired + Jellyfin + fail2ban 2 weeks ago:
It should be noted that you’re not permitted to stream video through Cloudflare unless you use their CDN.
