  I think even the most hardcore self hosting guys would probably caution most against setting up their own mail server too. One of the few things that has too many caveats to make self hosting make sense.

  It’s fuckin weird to see a company make a decision based on the long term retention of their customers rather than short term profits… I like these guys.

  I understand your issue with these cars - they’re dangerous, and could kill people with incomplete or buggy software. I believe the gentleman you are responding to was pointing out that even with the bugs, these are already safer than human drivers. This is already better when looking at data rather than headlines and going off of how things seem.

  Personally, I would prefer to be in control of the vehicle at all times. I don’t like the idea of driverless tech either.

  Dude, I was trying to deal with the fucking Fullscreen cookie popup when the subscribe to unlock bullshit popped up and I just closed it immediately

  Couldn’t send that point home any harder

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Vivaldi explains why they will not embed LLM functionality in their browser⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s actually fascinating to think about. Would be a fun project to mash something like Blazor Server and an LLM together and allow users to just kindly ask to rewrite the DOM in plain English.

  This makes a lot of sense. Thanks for the insight!

  I was just thinking about this the other day. Any ideas for projects to use them with?

  We all would do well to recognize different types of intelligence.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨VPNs, self hosting & security⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Lmao I would be too! You’re self hosting services behind a reverse proxy and familiar enough with docker to set that up, but you’re clearly not a very tech savvy person…! Haha. There’s levels to everything, I guess. Weird gatekeep though.

  Raw materials-wise maybe? Check your last sentence as well, don’t think you communicated what you meant to

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Cybertruck Is a Disappointment Even to Cybertruck Superfans / Looking at the specs alone, the car is delivering 30 percent less range than expected for 30 percent more money⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, long haul tractor/trailer drivers don’t do 700mi a day. Possible, absolutely, but at the very least unwise, an outlier use case, and a poor argument here.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New videos of Tesla Cybertruck off-roading appear to show it struggling to climb up a steep dirt hill⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Honestly, it is! It’s big, it’s lumbering, it’s heavy AF. Somehow, with small-arms resistant steel for doors, it’s 2000 lbs lighter than the Hummer EV and I would still have expected the Hummer to have less trouble with that hill. Hard to tell from this video though honestly - an inexperienced off-roader in a Jeep/Raptor/whatever could have had just as much trouble as the Cybertruck did here.

  I think Tesla is struggling with the cybertruck. They have a lot of skills and lessons learned from their other vehicles, but a truck is completely different in use case. They seem out of their depth here.

  Disclaimer: I’m not an Elon/Tesla hater. I want to see them succeed for a number of reasons. I want to like the Cybertruck. It ain’t there yet.

  My understanding of RSS is that it’s basically a list of metadata and links for content… Its always seemed to me to be a great way to aggregate the content you want to see. He did specifically mention keeping an Identity across multiple forums and I’m not aware of any RSS implementation that provides that functionality though… are you? That’s a huge feature to miss if we’re talking about social link aggregators like Reddit and Lemmy.
