Oh, yeah you’re right. I read that wrong.
- Comment on Rules for a gun fight 3 days ago:
And a .308 would smoke them all. It was specifying if you see smaller caliber, assume rifle.
- Comment on Going to a Protest? Don't Bring Your Phone Without Doing This First 1 week ago:
First, don’t buy it from a store. Second, turn that sucker off before you go home.
- Comment on Going to a Protest? Don't Bring Your Phone Without Doing This First 1 week ago:
Does that matter? If it’s a device that you bought used just for this? There is no name attached to that device at that point. But it used on Craigslist, use it for the event, throw it away. It can be any cheap, crappy phone.

Does it matter if that cell service isn’t connected to a name?
- Comment on Going to a Protest? Don't Bring Your Phone Without Doing This First 1 week ago:
I believe there are Bluetooth network protocols that mesh that would work for messaging and not require cell service. It would be smart to organize using something like that and just use any cell phone without cell service turned on. That still gives you the ability to call 911 in case of emergencies as well.

Yep, and i wouldn’t go back to any other style at this point. It’s way too convenient.
- Comment on Losing_weight_IRL 1 week ago:
That’s not the original. That’s some off name. But this specific one is the one I bought a couple years ago because the buckle uses less metal and i can get through the metal detectors at the airport with it. My old one would set it off at my local airport every time. That’s extremely annoying when your job has you travel every week.

This style of belt a.co/d/dm47Zve? I know I love mine. It’s great even for the natural daily fluctuations.
- Comment on Dell admits consumers don’t care about AI PCs 2 weeks ago:
This also makes sense. Dell is massive in the dataceneters. As a consultant I’ve worked with Dell hardware far more than anything else. I will say, just about every customer I’ve worked with is interested in AI, but they want to run their own models, not some half baked thing from Dell.
- Comment on Dell admits consumers don’t care about AI PCs 2 weeks ago:
Honestly, that’s pretty quick to learn that lesson. Huge corporations usually take way longer to figure that sort of thing out. Usually not until it’s too late.

Doesn’t kryptonite just rob him of his power and severely weaken him? It’s like uranium both the time accelerated.
- Comment on Grindr CEO Says App Will Be “AI-First” and “Not in the Business of Politics” 3 weeks ago:
No kidding. I know it doesn’t change their point. You could tell by the way I said it doesn’t change their point. The original commenter might not have known it’s to the point of models consuming their own synthetic data. They may have learned something.
- Comment on Finally a website where you can test if your private key is leaked inspired by haveibeenpwned 3 weeks ago:
I have some other keys for different things like “service accounts.” But I mainly have one personal key I use for things that need ssh keys.
- Comment on Grindr CEO Says App Will Be “AI-First” and “Not in the Business of Politics” 3 weeks ago:
The training sets aren’t all human created. They have models that feed other models training data.
- Comment on Finally a website where you can test if your private key is leaked inspired by haveibeenpwned 3 weeks ago:
My key is used in so many places I’m reluctant to update it. I probably should, even just to use newer crypto standards.
- Comment on Some people prefer corn for some ungodly reason 4 weeks ago:
I was and still am a very picky eater. I’ve started cooking for myself and have become dramatically less picky. However, I’m still not a fan of raw onion. I almost like them more the more they are cooked. I don’t like raw onion, but I love caramelized onion. I guess it’s really I just don’t like the texture of raw onion.
- Comment on A self-hosted approach to long-term file storage and control 4 weeks ago:
Yeah, I only put specific things their. Management and monitoring things. The services are still local.
- Comment on A self-hosted approach to long-term file storage and control 4 weeks ago:
I’ve been using a VPS for a while now. I still maintain it, so it’s very much like self hosting.
- Comment on A self-hosted approach to long-term file storage and control 4 weeks ago:
Self hosting can be stretched to mean you’re hosting your own services on a cloud provider.
- Comment on A self-hosted approach to long-term file storage and control 4 weeks ago:
Defense in depth for one. It looks like this project is made for protecting your data on cloud storage. I’ve noticed right now there seems to be a lot of projects around using relatively cheap S3 storage solutions.
- Comment on Self-Host Weekly #150: Watchtower No More 4 weeks ago:
Just self host the whole thing with Forgejo. I run a few github actions on runners all on my own stuff.
- Comment on Self-Host Weekly #150: Watchtower No More 4 weeks ago:
I haven’t used it, but this project looks interesting: github.com/dkorecko/PatchPanda
It doesn’t just update you containers, it checks the release notes too.
- Comment on Hands-On With The Anbernic RG DS; The DSi Reimagined (my review) 1 month ago:
You’ll want a Thor for that. I’ve been using it instead of my N3DS.
- Comment on 4 reasons Plex is turning into the thing it replaced 1 month ago:
It’s really not. They handle authentication but then everything is sent to your server.
- Comment on Is it true that one of the reasons VHS beat Betamax was porn? 1 month ago:
Except wasn’t hddvd cheaper and initially porn was using it?
- Comment on IBM CEO says there is 'no way' spending trillions on AI data centers will pay off at today's infrastructure costs 1 month ago:
A lot of companies. Don’t forget that IBM was ahead of the game with Watson and Watsonx. Also, don’t forget that Red Hat is owned by IBM and OpenShift is getting big in the AI space allowing GPUs to be pooled and workloads to be scheduled dynamically.
- Comment on IBM CEO says there is 'no way' spending trillions on AI data centers will pay off at today's infrastructure costs 1 month ago:
Sure but they’re in the business of consulting on how to build out that AI platform and the business of providing an AI platform.
- Comment on Tattoo Ink Moves Through the Body, Killing Immune Cells and Weakening Vaccine Response 1 month ago:
It’s also important to keep on mind that the burden of proof is on something to prove or is safe, not that something is unsafe. It happening to human cells in mice would have me assume it happens to human cells in humans until proven otherwise (that’s the null hypothesis in this situation). But also I don’t have a tattoo or any interest in getting one so I’m not too bothered by this.

Okay, you’re missing out on one of the best new self hosted services because of a knee jerk reaction in that case.
