- Comment on Mark Zuckerberg's Nuclear-Powered Data Center for AI Derailed by Bees 1 week ago:
I know, and I’m glad of it, but look: tech companies DO fuck around. A lot. There are lots of ways to pressure individuals into cutting corners, and to pressure auditors and controllers to look the other way. The regulators might catch them, but there’s a very real possibility that a tech company fucks up REAL bad before they get shut down. They have a very long history of it.

And who’s going to make sure these tech companies actually run a nuclear power plant responsibly? Have they ever run anything responsibly?

- Comment on Clever, clever 3 weeks ago:
Is it? If ChatGPT wrote your paper, why would citations of the work of Frankie Hawkes raise any red flags unless you happened to see this specific tweet? You’d just see ChatGPT filled in some research by someone you hadn’t heard of. Whatever, turn it in. Proofreading anything you turn in is obviously a good idea, but it’s not going to reveal that you fell into a trap here.

This is exactly what it is. When everything you believe is made up, it’s easily to accidentally make up the wrong number and then believe that instead.

Maybe, I don’t know enough about him, but I will say this: Nobody fits my definition of “people who work hard” better than Euler.
- Comment on Peter Todd in hiding after being “unmasked” as bitcoin creator 3 weeks ago:
When someone says “He’s an unbelievable genius,” I now understand that the person speaking is either a con artist or a gullible idiot. Unbelievable geniuses don’t exist, there’s just specialists, people who get lucky, people who work hard. So if you’re saying someone is such a genius, either you have no metric by which to measure genius, or you’re selling something.
“I think Cullen made the Satoshi accusation for marketing. He needed a way to get attention for his film.”
Cullen is absolutely selling something: he’s selling his documentary.
The various denials and deflections from Todd, he claims, are part of a grand and layered misdirection.
Smells 100% like bullshit. I had no take on this documentary one way or the other before, but now I’m very skeptical.
- Comment on Authorities hack cryptocurrency seed phrase 1 month ago:
I highly doubt they did anything remotely like “hacking” the seed phrase. I don’t care for cryptocurrency, but I hate cop bullshit even more, so here’s my 2 cents.
or just found it written somewhere in the house?
this one.
A seed phrase is just an encoding of a long binary number which can be used to derive the secret key. Trying all the possibilities probably isn’t possible, and I think it’s also unlikely that they found a way to weaken it. What they probably did is find it and type it in. They DID raid the dude’s house, where he was probably keeping a copy of it.

So what did you do with them once they were trapped? I imagine lifting that box would be putting your own life at risk, but even if you survived that you now have a feral cat to deal with.

Admittedly the image quality is “this meme first appeared in a dirty magazine in 1986 and has been re-compressed twice a year since the internet was invented”, but there are falling lines above the cucumber, and a little puff of smoke where it hits the ground. It’s depicted as falling out of a tree.

there’s a way to tie it back to circles
Not necessarily circles, but conic sections. When you take a series of a fixed exponent over a variable x, and graph it, that graph is a parabola.
A parabola is a slice through a cone. Tada, pi appears.

Far Cry. Both FC3 and FC4 were great, and then they never made another one after that.

- Comment on [deleted] 2 months ago:
Two words: media illiteracy. They don’t understand the themes in what they are watching; moreover, they can’t connect any themes they do recognize to their own beliefs because they are disconnected from reality in the first place.
Modern conservatism has noticed that reality rarely agrees with its values, so its response has been to reject reality. That has a lot of side effects, and the inability to hear the message in the media is one of those side effects.

- Comment on Destiny creators Bungie lay off 220 people and form new studio within Sony to stave off financial ruin 3 months ago:
“to stave off financial ruin” is some pretty intense editorializing by RPS. They missed an earnings expectation, and yet they still had the highest active player numbers in history on Steam. The made-up goal was intentionally unreachable, to give Sony the excuse to do this whenever they wanted. Bungie was fine.
- Comment on How to make my server reachable 3 months ago:
I haven’t deployed Cloudflare but I’ve deployed Tailscale, which has many similarities to the CF tunnel.
- Is the tunnel solution appropriate for Jellyfin?
I assume you’re talking about speed/performance here. The overhead added by establishing the connection is mostly just once at the connection phase, and it’s not much. In the case of Tailscale there’s additional wireguard encryption overhead for active connections, but it remains fast enough for high-bandwidth video streams. (I download torrents over wireguard, and they download much faster than realtime.) Cloudflare’s solution is only adding encryption in the form of TLS to their edge. Everything these days uses TLS, you don’t have to sweat that performance-wise.
(You might want to sweat a little over the fact that cloudflare terminates TLS itself, meaning your data is transiting its network without encryption. Depending on your use case that might be okay.)
- I suppose it’s OK for vaultwarden as there isnt much data being transfered?
Performance wise, vaultwarden won’t care at all. But please note the above caveat about cloudflare and be sure you really want your vaultwarden TLS terminated by Cloudflare.
- Would it be better to run nginx proxy manager for everything or can I run both of the solutions?
There’s no conflict between the two technologies. A reverse proxy like nginx or caddy can run quite happily inside your network, fronting all of your homelab applications; this is how I do it, with caddy. Think of a reverse proxy as just a special website that branches out to every other website. With that model in mind, the tunnel is providing access to the reverse proxy, which is providing access to everything else on its own. This is what I’m doing with tailscale and caddy.
- General recs
Consider tailscale? Especially if you’re using vaultwarden from outside your home network. There are ways to set it up like cloudflare, but the usual way is to install tailscale on the devices you are going to use to access your network. Either way it’s fully encrypted in transit through tailscale’s network.
