- Comment on Study finds AI tools made open source software developers 19 percent slower 1 week ago:
I’m not really sure why it was such a small sample size. It definitely casts doubt on some of their conclusions. I also have issues with some methodology used. I think a better study that came out a week or two ago was the one that showed visible neurological decline from AI use.
- Comment on Are a few people ruining the internet for the rest of us? 1 week ago:
I think you’ve got a point. My initial thought was that because this platform is decentralized and there’s no Elon or Zuck at the helm, this isn’t applicable. But as you pointed out, the vast majority of users don’t interact or post anything, so that naturally amplifies the users who do, particularly if they have an agenda to push.

Yeah, I guess if they would have framed it as one month free it wouldn’t sound as good. I remember using it and completely ignoring everything but the actual Internet. Trolling on AIM back in the day was pretty fun.

So they were just giving away America Online by the 700 hour quantity? I now blame AOL for more than I had previously considered.

- Comment on The System Wayfinder - (looking for feedback) 2 weeks ago:
Hey, cool idea! I’ve also got a bunch of dockers and services running on a swarm on multiple devices. Like any good project, it’s on it’s like 3rd or 4th iteration now, having run into some roadblock each time. I structure most of my services into stacks. For example, I have a stack for proxy, www, monitoring, and of course the 'ol arr stack. Anyways, I keep all my notes on the stack compose yaml files that seems to work for me. I only interact with docker on the cli because portainer wants me to pay to use docker swarm. But because I’m so adept at docker on the cli, I have recently stumbled across gemini-cli. Dude, having that to help trouble shoot docker stuff is amazing. It’s really good, but I’d keep it on a short leash.

Might be my imagination but I think Kirkland stuff has been declining in quality lately. The paper towels seem worse now, but I’m not sure how.

Oh look it’s only $47,000 and not a monthly subscription, that’s quaint.
- Comment on xkcd #3109: Dehumidifier 3 weeks ago:
I have a separate IoT network. It’s basically just a guest wifi for IoT. Anything coming in on that network gets a VLAN tag and only previous & established connections can get out. Honestly, it’s kinda a pain in the ass with homeassistant because I keep HA on the other network so I have to manually find devices. It might be easier to just block it at the ip level or blacklist outgoing ip ranges to Tuya or whatever.

- Comment on A sovereign Microsoft 365 alternative: Nextcloud and IONOS join forces - Nextcloud 3 weeks ago:
Not sure how long ago you tried it. But my first attempt at an install back in 2021 was so much more complicated than when I did it again in 2024. It’s been rock solid ever since. I use the docker all-in-one method, it’s pretty straightforward. When I went back to college, I decided to use it to organize all my classwork, and it’s perfect for that. I still prefer LibreOffice to author papers though.

- Comment on We Should Immediately Nationalize SpaceX and Starlink 1 month ago:
I didn’t realize how temporary and disposable Starlink’s satellites were. They incinerate 4 or 5 a day by de-orbiting them into the ozone. Here’s a pretty good CNET article that talks about how they “dispose” of them. IDK, doesn’t seem sustainable. They also mention the bandwidth gains are being diminished with the influx of new users, so their solution is more temporary satellites.
- Comment on We Should Immediately Nationalize SpaceX and Starlink 1 month ago:
They’re just following in the footsteps of Comcast. The FCC gave SpaceX/Starlink $885.5 million to provide rural broadband after they gave Comcast over $1 billion less than 5 years ago to do the same thing. Starlink actually works out there from what I understand, so I guess that’s something.

Dude Navidrome is so great. I hooked my my decades worth of music collection up to it and now I can stream b-side tracks and indie bands that weren’t on Spotify. Plus when I hit random I know it’s actually random and not some algo to sell the newest slop that Spotify is pushing.

A stable diffusion plug-in or something to export 3d models for blender would be awesome. I’ve been waiting for something like that.

I remember finding 10 foot combo Toslink S-video cables at Radio Shack for like $5. I bought 3 of them and ripped the S-Video off because the Toslink cable was all I was after. I still think it’s better than most other cables for audio.

Oh wow, this is really informative. Thanks for the link friend
- Comment on Apple CEO Tim Cook Donating $1 Million to Trump's Inaugural Fund 6 months ago:
Amazon, Meta, Uber, OpenAI’s Sam Altman, Goldman Sachs, Bank of America, Coinbase, Toyota, Ford, GM, AT&T, Black & Decker, and Charter Communications are also making donations to Trump’s inauguration fund.
I guess I never really paid attention before but is it normal for companies to donate to an inauguration fund? It sure seems like a government sanctioned protection racket.
