On the one hand I agree, but on the other hand there is a problem, especially when you consider children (but not only) that they moss the nuance. I recall as a child using homophobic slurs because I did not understand how bad they were. For me they were just curse words and it took me a while to grow as a person to understand the context behind those slurs. And the thing is that nobody in my life is especially homophobic, they just don’t understand why using those kinds of words is problematic, and they never bothered to teach me. I myself am not straight, and when I came out, nobody had a problem with it, and everybody was very accepting. But it just goes to show that even people who are accepting of it are not necessarily understanding the nuance of using a slur, and therefore I personally believe that you just shouldn’t use insults that are homophobic, racist or otherwise bigoted in nature.

Idk of any but I’m interested, commenting to add traffic 👍
- Comment on Tell us the truth Donny. 2 weeks ago:
I don’t think that’s true. Sometimes mocking them means mocking others as well. I don’t think homophobic insults are okay, even towards homophobes.
I don’t see why calling him a pedophilic cheater that looks like the cheato at the bottom of the bag is not good enough?
Also Trump is so stupid and immature that just calling him stupid and immature is triggering for him (ie “I HAVE THE BEST IQ, THE BEST MRI” etc)

It is such a shame that in our society his (presumably consensual) gay affair is bigger news than his participation in rape and trafficking of children/teens.
I couldn’t give two shits about him blowing another man, that shouldn’t even be an issue (past the fact that is was probably cheating, which no one seems to even mention) and it is sad and infuriating that this moght endup be what pushes away his hardcore supporters and not the FUCKING PEDO SEX RING

Schrödingers murder: You are both a murder and not a murder. You are not a murderer as you did not choose to kill a person, but as this can not continue forever you are also a murderer since it is quite certain that eventually someone will choose murder.
- Comment on What budget friendly GPU for local AI workloads should I aim for? 3 weeks ago:
Buying new: Basically all of the integrated memory units like macs and amd’s new AI chips, after that any modern (last 5 years) gpu while focusing only on vram (currently nvidia is more properly supported in SOME tools)
Buying second hand: not likely to find any of the integrated memory stuff, so any GPU from the last decade that is still officially supported and focusing on vram.
8gb is enough to run basic small models, 20+ for pretty capable 20-30b models, 50+ for the 70b ones and 100-200+ for full sized models.
These are rough estimates, do your own research as well.

You can sniff the network and see if the TV is connecting anywhere.
- Comment on Can a Smart TV piggy back the internet of a HDMI device? 4 weeks ago:
It’s very very unlikely that your TV and your device connected to it both support and enable ethernet over HDMI by default. But if you are unsure you can test it by connecting and seeing if the TV is getting a connection.
Personally I opened my TV and disconnected the wifi card since in theory the TV could also just try to connect to any open wifi in the area without me knowing, but to each their own threat model.

There are a few places in the world where it is cheap and good, just not a lot of them.

It’s not a bad idea, but there are plenty of countries where it would be abused to xbox live chat levels.
- Comment on YSK tricks for one of the cheapest meals: beans and rice 4 weeks ago:
To reduce gas with beans:
- soak with baking soda (1tsp per cup of beans)
- before cooking boil some water and in a bowl cover the beans with the boiled water, after 5 minutes drain and wash them and throw them in to whatever you are cooking
- ferment the beans, best results but more work
Also remember that as your body gets used to it, the gas is reduced.
- Comment on How often do you update software on your servers? 5 weeks ago:
Anything exposed to the internet gets a daily / weekly update, depending on how exposed it is, how stable the updates are and how critical a breach would be. For example nginx would be a daily update.
Anything behind a vpn gets a more random update schedule mostly based on when I feel like it (probably around once a month or every other month)

- Comment on Frustratingly bad at self hosting. Can someone help me access LLMs on my rig from my phone 2 months ago:
Ollama + open webui + tailscale/netbird
Open webui provides a fully functional docker with ollama, so just find the section that applies to you (amd, nvidia, etc) github.com/open-webui/open-webui?tab=readme-ov-fi…
And on that host install netbird or Tailscale, install the same on your phone, in tailscale you need to enable magicdns but in netbird I think it provides dns by default.
Once the docker is running and both your server and phone are connected to the vpn (netbird or tailscale) you just type the dns of your server in your phone’s browser (in netbird it would be “yourserver.netbird.cloud” and in tailscale it would be “yourserver.yourtsnet.ts.net”)
Checkout networkchuck on youtube as he has a lot of simple tutorials.

- Comment on A Love Letter To Internet Relay Chat 2 months ago:
Just one time I want someone to write a love letter to some old technology and for it to just be an actual love letter and just like some psycho who is literally in love with some protocol and they’re like talking about how hot the protocol is and how they wish they could just fuck it. Is that too much to ask?

- Comment on Proxmox or Docker? 2 months ago:
There are a few reasons why someone might use Proxmox. It doesn’t have to be just security, it can also be different network architectures that don’t work as well in Docker and it can also be just greater control over the services which is less comfortable to do in Docker as it’s meant to have built images that are running and are ephemeral. There are also certain services that either don’t have a pre-built docker and someone might not want to bother with making their own docker infrastructure around it or have technologies that are not well supported or are not well executed in docker.
There is also the fact that Proxmox is meant to be used in production, which means that it’s more stable (than some casual docker rubning on whatever distro they have) and it does have a very low overhead, even if you do use dockers you can use them within Proxmox and it gives you a lot of capabilities that add to stability and manageability.
Generally speaking if your threat model is very small, you’re running this within your private network, and it’s not exposed to the internet or anything large like that, then it doesn’t really make a big difference and you should probably just use whatever is comfortable for you.
I personally moved to Proxmox for three reasons which are security, customizability and stability. I felt that within Docker containers it was a lot more annoying to have to pull the images and make my own Docker files and update them and build them every time. I find it easier to have my own server with its dedicated service and that I know how to update and how to modify more properly and that I built from scratch. There is also the advantage that I can use whatever OS I want for different situations. Of course I personally use exclusively Linux but even within that I can use different distros and I can have all kinds of different services running without interfering with one another in any way, and in extreme cases I can have a windows vm.
And another major factor for me was that I just wanted to learn how to do it. I think it’s cool and it was interesting and I have already experienced Docker to a level that I felt comfortable with it and it was time to move on and expand my horizons.
