  I’m far from an expert, but it seems like if one cloud node goes down, pay hackers to slam everything with bot traffic and the system is brought to its knees.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Causes of death, or track list for latest black metal album?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Considering it was London, I’m surprised death by teeth wasn’t more prevalent.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Free and open source Audiobookshelf Android client⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I can’t speak for everyone with my comment here. I really, really hate the side effects of the AI bubble. Where they force it into every fucking element of life. And honestly, I hate even that it’s being called AI. I hate that it’s made traditional algorithmic services worse like Google Now for example. And I hate the lack of privacy it’s brought.

  That said, I have no problems with someone using it to complete a project with it. I think it could potentially raise a potential device security concern in a case like this. And probably wouldn’t partake in the app because of that. But I use my own self-hosted LLMs all the time. It helps me format things, saves me time with searching and researching when I want an answer, not knowledge.

  There are many rational reasons to dislike and avoid “AI”. As well, there’s many irrational people. And there are some good uses for the technology.

  This (seemingly) solves some issues in places like Africa where warlords block or destroy delivery systems to remote villages. Also fixes disaster recovery where pipes are destroyed or water systems are contaminated

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I don't know the reason why.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Say what you will about becoming Pistachio Green, but it’s one of the few jobs that didn’t require you to use AI.

  So many free hours as I connected to a long distance ISP.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is the best way to drop 50lbs in two months without spending alot and no fad diets?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  What I’m talking about but maybe didn’t do a very good job of explaining is metabolic adaptation. It can take months before your body adjusts, before you figure out what calorie deficit is needed and it varies wildly from person to person. Our brains can burn calories to be more creative or slow down to preserve ideal body weight. Which can negate a wide amount of calorie usage. …edu.au/…/its-time-to-bust-the-calories-in-calori…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is the best way to drop 50lbs in two months without spending alot and no fad diets?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  The big difference is the effect of a calorie for each person differs. How the body chooses to burn a calorie differs. If person A reduces their diet by 3000 calories in a week they might lose a pound. Person B might not. CICO is literally thermodynamics, you’re very right. How our bodies react to thermodynamics varies quite a bit.

  Okay, but what happens if you spell favorites wrong?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Data centers will consume 70 percent of memory chips made in 2026 - supply shortfall will cause the chip shortage to spread to other segments | Tom's Hardware⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Data centers will consume…

  No, data centers that are slated to be built say they’ll consume. If they don’t get built because they run out of funding or the bubble bursts, then they won’t consume. They’re trying really fucking hard to make fetch happen.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Self-hosting in 2025 isn't about privacy anymore - it's about building resistance infrastructure⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I am in the midst of setting up a Friendica install for my larger community. I’m trying out Elest.io for it, using netcup servers so I don’t have to deal with the security and hardening and starting off as cheap as possible with expandability. Just to try to filter people away from Facebook. A lot of people are starting to leave Facebook and I think it’s time to go back to basics. I might try to set up a Matrix server as well, but one thing at a time.

  Incogni feels like a product the data brokers created to double tap your data and get paid for doing it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Yale Posting It's Ls⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s federal immunity. Doesn’t apply to state crimes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not sure if it fits your criteria exactly, but Grocy has an assignable chore list. I’ve not used this function but I have used the mobile app which is solid.

  It’s thought that al pastor came about because of Lebanese refugees in Mexico. So yeah, pretty much exactly.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's the security situation when opening a jellyfin server up for casting?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I set up Jellyseer so my friends can request whatever. Just blame your full collection of My Little Pony and Gilmore girls on that one friend from Finland (unless you’re in Finland, and then use Greece).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Scheduling is hard⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  A lot of GOP politicians are trying to get kids back to work and out of school, so I guess they’re technically doing their part.

  Get under your desk with your hands on your head. Get inside a fridge from the 40’s or earlier. Do a journal entry. Make a pose that will leave future scientists confused as hell.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨An accessibility testing suite⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I have been doing ADA compliance professionally for a while. There is no magic on this one. There’s no existing solution that doesn’t require manual interference because it requires context. Human context. It has to be understood to be understandable. There’s a few things you can do to improve overall accessibility but nothing in a suite. I specialize in InDesign and it’s probably the most powerful document solution going. But it requires a lot of work to meet the most basic of requirements.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do seemingly all politicians (and no one else) do that hand gesture when they talk, the one where it looks like they're holding an invisible fishing rod?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve heard that before too but being an old bastard, I’m pretty certain Clinton didn’t do it until after he was debating Bob Dole. Bob Dole used this gesture because he held a pen during debates. And he held a pen in his dominant hand because he had an injury in WWII and the way his hand curled made him look weak.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨‘It’s only gotten worse’: As ACA premiums are set to climb, some Americans opt to go uninsured⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  “Opt to go uninsured” is certainly how I’d phrase the choice between affording rent and food or healthcare.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Did it really used to be common for guys to go to a bar every night like in Cheers or The Simpsons?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Had to stop though since I found myself going through the fridge on a Sunday once looking for some alcohol.

  I had a similar experience except I’d open the fridge before work and instinctively grab a beer or start to grab one before I realized I was just there for creamer.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I want to believe you. Is your satisfaction with Australia in any way attributed to your username? If I were a tourist who meets you in a bar and I asked you what fun things there are to do in the area, would you grab your wrist as you punch upward? Do you drive a Ute with dual exhaust that has chrome Goatse hands around the pipe. Man, I have so many questions about Australia.

  The back tattoo was Roger Stone. Although we’ve not heard much about him for a while, I promise he’s got his sticky little mitts in the administration currently. In some fashion.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Readarr alternative suggestions?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Surprised no one mentioned LazyLibrarian. I guess no one else could figure out how it works. I still try after updates… Nope. If it works, I just don’t understand it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Immich finally goes stable, a talk with the team⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Have you tried just explaining when you use jargon? If you don’t understand the term enough to explain it, I get it. That’s how I am with the laws of thermodynamics. But, no reason to be hostile about knowing the term and not the definition.
