And it has glycosides too! So it may also be toxic to humans.

Hey, no spoilers!
PS. I just started to watch “zero day” Netflix series, with Robert DeNiro. It’s quite good. But I thought it was the Russians…

Not sure if this is what you’re are after, but github.com/lakinduakash/linux-wifi-hotspot allows, among other things, to share the Ethernet-connected PC internet (with VPN if needed) as a WLAN for TVs, Phones, etc.

- Comment on DeepSeek Proves It: Open Source is the Secret to Dominating Tech Markets (and Wall Street has it wrong). 2 weeks ago:
Not exactly sure of what “dominating” a market means, but the title is on a good point: innovation requires much more cooperation than competition. And the ‘AI race’ between nations is an antiquated mainframe pushed by media.

“Facebook” is an equally alienating name if you don’t know English. But I agree, German is difficult!

Did anyone read the grammar of graphics paper from Hadley Wickham? I kind of enjoyed it a lot, and got to know what’s the power source really. I’m amazed so many software libraries came to reinvent compossibility in such unergonomic ways… But it’s nice to have options.
I think I might prefer base R over matplotlib though… :p

Can you do a plot a hundred times with a hundred different datasets with these templates? Without having to apply such template to each file, just pointing to the folder with them…
To me that’s the whole point of programming, you can automatically do a thing and it doesn’t matter if it took an hour to write the code. Once you have it, you point it to the folder with all datasets, iterate over while you drink a coffee and then you have the hundreds of plots.

I only learnt this recently, buy snail depictions were ubiquitous in gothic manuscripts’ marginalia. Oftentimes, with social implications, very much like satire. The snail, being slow and seemingly harmless, simbolizes futility or absurdity of certain endeavors. There’s many interpretations among historians and art enthusiasts.

Objection! Hehe… No, wait. Really, I see a problem…
If registration are closed, mods would be exclusively from outside. And, since reports are not federated, this communities would be prone to difficulties for moderation. Unless reports are correctly federated, I don’t think this is a good idea. And, even if you were to open registrations only for mods, we would have only moved the inconvenience to this (who wants to have so many accounts, really?)
There’s also the problem with centralization of domain names under you. I don’t know you, and perhaps you’re well intended… So, it’s fine for the most part, let’s just assume that’s okay. Now, what happens if you had an accident or decided to go live in a farm? Without domain name renewals, etc. all communities would be in trouble. There’s centralization in the shape of a single point of failure.
I can’t see this happening even if the domain names are cool.
And, leaving disadvantages aside. What’s the point on this? Can you name any advantage?? I agree that it would be more ordered and I like that. But it’s quite subjective, and hardly anything huge to really break the inertia or status quo of things as they’re now…
Thanks for the intentions. Let’s focus on some new ideas, they’ll come…
- Comment on Indestructible quartz crystal can store 360TB of data for billions of years 4 months ago:
Human genome would be a handful of gigabytes, depending the file format, compression and so on… But it can hardly fill 1 of those 360 TiB.
Indestructible? Yeah, sure…

In computer science, garbage in, garbage out (GIGO) is the concept that flawed, biased or poor quality (“garbage”) information or input produces a result or output of similar (“garbage”) quality. The adage points to the need to improve data quality in, for example, programming.
There was some research article applying this 70s computer science concept to LLMs. It was published in Nature and hit major news outlets. Basically they further trained GPT on its output for a couple generations, until the model degraded terribly. Sounded obvious to me, but seeing it happen on the www is painful nonetheless…
- Comment on Huawei unveils world’s first tri-fold phone, the Mate XT Ultimate Design 5 months ago:
Exactly my feeling when everyone was jumping into touch screens.
(I was able to type SMS in my pocket, using one hand, while walking. Sure, it took a 100 meters a sentence but it worked.)
Anyway, a smartphone comes with many other differences, mostly advantages. This is another leap of quality for gaming, watching movies, filling government forms on old websites, etc.
- Comment on Meta fined $102 million for storing passwords in plain text 5 months ago:
They still store the passwords like that? I remember that quote of Zuckerberg doing so, in the early days, and boasting about it to a friend… This was so outrageous at the time. Now it’s beyond absurdity… Not to mention the fine is so small!

First post was fun. The pedantic conversation not so much, only a little because the one that comes correcting then it’s shown to be wrong.
- Comment on Mental hell 5 months ago:
It’s difficult to know if this might just be a correlation to age of onset, plus the effect of new project or career. Maybe other graduates of similar careers that doesn’t go into PhD programmes would be a nice control. But there’s no curve there. Alas, I know academia is difficult. But I wouldn’t dare drawings conclusion without a proper comparison.

Nice write-up. I’d take this as a blueprint. Anyone can swap 3rd-party services to their like (e.g. headscale, xmpp bot on that vps, backblaze s3, etc.) and extend upon (e.g. oidc providers, mailboxes, arr suite, etc.)

A cheap VPS with headscale. Or just ZeroTier.com free plan.

This! And, baby-steps: don’t go about installing every app you see. Try backup strategies, put them to test (bring service down and up again with data from backup). Play, have fun.
