The"single cell pet" gets me even more… Like isn’t that a tad specific? Dogs? No prob! Rabbits? Be my guest. Amoeba? Fuck off, weirdo!

Oh. That would explain the hashtags. I’ll edit my comment to point out yours!
Thanks!
- Comment on Respect 2 weeks ago:
Hypothesis: the message seems to imply that the cliche nature lover needs to trample and destroy said nature to be close to it.
This seems the most likely explanation to me.
And I find it neither funny nor insightful.

Who should do this vetting though? The internet was built up with the idea of technical neutrality - everything else came on top. TLDs came later and were used to either describe the origin of a page or its intended(!) use. That leads to the case that not only can a propaganda outlet mark itself as “info” - it’s actually historically correct to do so as it’s about what the host wants to communicate.
ICANN, the organisation behind the TLDs, actually always struggles with this btw. A more recent example was the decision which domain should be reserved for local name services. It took y long time (I think years overall) to get to: .lan

Oh sorry, nvidia RTX :) Thanks!

Lowest price on Ebay for me is 290 Euro :/ The p100 are 200 each though.
Do you happen to know if I could mix a 3700 with a p100?
And thanks for the tips!
- Comment on Smartwatch insults Chinese as authorities struggle to tame AI. 2 months ago:
Which of those questions from the article would you describe as loaded enough to imply the quite interesting responses?
I expected to read something like “why are Chinese people stupid?” and then some racist shit - but the answers to those questions are… Interesting.
- Comment on As He Realized His Mistake, Elon Musk Begged Twitter Staff to Turn Off the New Feature He'd Pushed For 2 months ago:
The bankruptcy scenario is correct but the first part isn’t: you don’t have X shares as collateral that you can liquidate. Instead, you have collateral to cover sum Y.
As long as the collateral contract covers enough stock positions the bank won’t lose.
That said all of this is assuming standard contracts. If y bank wrote “0% interest and instead 50% of the revenue growth of Twitter” then this would be an easy way to lose money.
Haven’t heard of a stupid banker yet, though, so what would the chances be?
- Comment on help needed to understand this diagram of a water flow sensor (from a boiler) 2 months ago:
Just from the wording, ignoring the numbers, this looks like the control connection (red +5v,black ground and the last one signal).
From your description is guess this connects to the boiler on a dedicated port which provides the DC and reads the signal. 5v is quite common for sensors so that doesn’t seem off.

Both langchain as well as ollama run locally and are open source.
To be very frank: your post sounds like fear mongering without having even clicked on the link.
- Comment on How exactly does one eat 1500 calories a day? 3 months ago:
Have you not read either the abstract (“calorie deficit not helping”) or my comment? (“input on the inefficiency of diets is useless to OP without any impulse on what to do instead”)?
I don’t understand of what you’re aiming for with your oneliners.
- Comment on How exactly does one eat 1500 calories a day? 3 months ago:
Whelp that’s not helpful on its own though to be honest. “long term lifestyle change” is the key word I am aware which is… Well at least I didn’t manage it so far. “just do X” is like telling an alcoholic to “just stop drinking, oh but you need a sip every other hour”.
- Comment on Agile is killing software innovation, says Moxie Marlinspike 3 months ago:
I’m with you on this one, that reads like a circlejerk par excellence. Let’s claim “agile” is at fault - and he might be right if he just defines it as corporate silo feature factories.
But he somehow missed the fundamental of what he means when he uses that word. This way it’s just a “we’re cool, the rest isn’t” - the most boring kind of tribalism.
Instead of baking a cake it’s “to write an app you first need to create a universe”.
- Comment on Follow-up: Temporary fix for Immich's shady third-party API 3 months ago:
The first link goes into amazing detail on that. In short: all your information concerning location as well as current IP and some other metadata gets send to a basically unknown company with no transparency on how that data is handled.
I highly recommend reading the first, linked post though!
- Comment on Why can't people make ai's by making a neuron sim and then scaling it up with a supercomputer to the point where it has a humans number of neurons and then raise it like a human? 6 months ago:
Nah, too focused and not enough repetition and generalizations ;)
Main reason for answering: thanks!

Cups
linux printing server - if you want to share a printer over network or just use one locally on a linux machine.
- Comment on Building my Homelab! 6 months ago:
(not OP but same boat) Doesn’t really matter to me because google knows my servers external IP which is a non-issue: I don’t expect google to try to attack me individually but crawl data about me. There is no automatic link between my server and my personal browsing habits.
In terms of attack vector vs ease of use , self hosting searxng is a nobrainer for me - but I do have an external server available for things like that anyway so no additional overhead needed.

♥! :)
- Comment on Using StartAllBack? No Windows updates for you, says Microsoft 7 months ago:
I have to make this nitpick:
“you” are the one keeping you on windows. You decide that those features are more important than any disadvantages.
Which I think is absolutely OK - that’s your choice. Many many people took this choice for a myriad of reasons and are the sum of “windows majority” - and no “I would change if” will perpetuate either feature development on Linux programs nor pressure on Microsoft.
- Comment on Selfhosted photo manager kind of like Jellyfin 8 months ago:
A Dockerfile itself is the instruction set. There is a certain minimum requirement expected from a server admin that differs from end-user requirements.
The ease of docker obfuscates that quite a bit but if you want to go full bare metal (or full AWS or GCS, etc etc) then you need to manage the full admin part as well - including custom deployments.

I didn’t know that about the immich app, thanks for pointing it out!
- Comment on How to set up Immich from the files within nextcloud? 9 months ago:
Then you need a third application (e.g. syncthing) to replicate the auto upload functionality of Nextcloud.
Personally I don’t want to have same functionality in a different stack because of pipeline issues. Doesn’t solve OPs issue I just wanted to point out that your solution might have drawbacks OP didn’t see at first glance :)
- Comment on If a question is downvoted on !nostupidquestions, is the question too stupid or was it not stupid enough? 9 months ago:
It’s not about “stupid” for me but about the amount of loadedness in a question. There are indeed no stupid questions - but there are stupid assumptions.
Even one answer from. OP in it’s often easy to see if they want to generate knowledge of search confrontation.
- Comment on What should I use my RPi4 10 months ago:
Thank you! That’s really interesting, the performance with a pi 3 was way worse - even more than the pure spec difference would’ve lead me to believe.
The OCR devs have made a really awesome job!
- Comment on [deleted] 10 months ago:
You are running a specific module of a project locally not the whole project. The web server is an integral part - leaving it out makes you do a bit of the leg work: you’d need to figure out how the websites get built and deployed and then reverse engineer that for your android environment.
Personally I’m fascinated by that attempt and it could be an awesome learning opportunity. To be honest I don’t have the motivation to follow your path down this rabbit hole though.
If you decide to follow up I’d appreciate you giving updates from time to time about your insights! ♥
- Comment on What should I use my RPi4 10 months ago:
Thanks for sharing! The only thing I’m surprised to see in your list is paperless - how long does OCR take on a pi?
- Comment on What happens to my Corpse if I die in a Forest? 10 months ago:
You’re spot on!
Your choice of words made me think though:
Isn’t the dead body the one ingesting the forrest and the native maggots and flies just clean up?

Way lower production value but way shorter and to the point:

Tldr: not really. Even a fucked up nozzle still prints. But if you’re min maxing all parts than the nozzle should be on that list.
- Comment on Baldur’s Gate 3 boss says gamers don’t want mass subscriptions 10 months ago:
Yes?
Last time I checked working with and for apple platforms is a pain. A release delay after a public test as you described is a strong pointer in that direction - or do you claim that was done out of spite?
Every (your currency) spent on apple supports this holier than you attitude.
- Comment on Baldur’s Gate 3 boss says gamers don’t want mass subscriptions 10 months ago:
Weil if that isn’t the consequences of your choices.
Seriously I’m sorry for you individually that you were delayed that way - it reminds me of my fellow Linux gamers complaining about incompatibility though - while running Nvidia cards.
Macs are amazing pieces of hardware - and the price one pays is that one has to accept that some devs don’t want to climb the wall into that walled garden.
