- Comment on what do y'all use for CI/CD? 22 hours ago:
we use Jenkins + a bespoke wrapper at work. thats left a bad taste in my mouth enough to avoid Jenkins altogether
- Comment on what do y'all use for CI/CD? 22 hours ago:
this is my experience as well. we have a bespoke wrapper around Jenkins, and the more we can test locally the less time we have to spend waiting for the system to fail. it’s one of the reasons i’ve adopted
justto script things locally as if it was CI. - Comment on what do y'all use for CI/CD? 1 day ago:
heck yeah this is the review i was looking for 💯
- Comment on what do y'all use for CI/CD? 1 day ago:
you’re right. i just expected it to be an increase 😅
- Comment on what do y'all use for CI/CD? 1 day ago:
i honestly didn’t look that close, obviously haha
but yeah, i’ve been kinda looking for a reason to de-Microsoft my stuff
- Comment on what do y'all use for CI/CD? 1 day ago:
good lead. it’s just the one project for now, and to my surprise it’s actually a dependency for the
ollama-rsproject, so i feel somewhat obligated to keep it stable. - Comment on what do y'all use for CI/CD? 1 day ago:
yes, according to this morning’s email

- Comment on An Apple fan says they lost '20 years of digital life' after using an Apple gift card 2 days ago:
sure, there’s reason to be cynical, but i don’t think handing society to fascists out of bleak pessimism is the way i want to live my life.

i guess in these situations i think of my aunt, who is in her 80s. she has an iPhone. should she buy a NAS and host Immich? i don’t think “make backups” is the simple advice it appears to be for the vast majority of people
- Comment on An Apple fan says they lost '20 years of digital life' after using an Apple gift card 2 days ago:
i think it’s easy to make comments like this from the peanut gallery, with the benefit of hindsight and a self-selected group of users who will agree. but Apple should be legally obligated to address this. the solution can’t be “this idiot didn’t spend his nights and weekends doing 3-tier backups and high availability infrastructure diversity!”; that’s not scalable. if we just accept that companies can do this, they will continue to. but this has been on the front page of HackerNews. it’ll probably make it to Tim Apple’s desk eventually, so we’ll see what shakes out.
- Comment on Quilter's AI just designed an 843‑part Linux computer that booted on the first try. Hardware will never be the same. 5 days ago:
as someone who used to work on “expert models” i’m excited that not everyone has abandoned them for “what if we just had a model that knows everything (that doesn’t exist) and costs a billion dollars to run”
- Comment on **How** should I properly document my homelab? 3 weeks ago:
three, maybe four things:
- as mentioned: Obsidian. i pay for Sync cuz i like the product and want them to succeed and want reliable offsite backups and conflict resolution. use a ton of links and tags. i’ve been into using DataView to make tables of IoT devices, services, todo items, etc based on tags and other YAML frontmatter.
- chezmoi. manages my dotfiles so my machines are consistent. i have scripts that are heavily commented that show how to access MQTT, how to read and parse logs from journald, how to inspect my network, etc. i do think of them as code as documentation, even if they’re also just convenient.
- NixOS. this has been my code as config as documentation silver bullet. i use it as a replacement for Docker, k8s, Ansible, etc as it contains definitions for my machines and all the services and configuration they run, including any package dependencies and user configurations. no more statting an assortment of files to figure out the state of the system. it’s in
flake.nix - honorable mention to git and whatever git hosting provider is not on your network. track your work over time, and you’ll thank yourself when things go wrong.
some things are resistant to documentation and have a lot of stateful components (HomeAssitant is my biggest problem child from an infra perspective), but mainly being in that graph mindset of “how would i find a path here if i forgot where this was” helps a lot
- Comment on Meta’s star AI scientist Yann LeCun plans to leave for own startup 4 weeks ago:
he’s been salty about this for years now and frustrated at companies throwing training and compute scaling at LLMs hoping for another emergent breakthrough like GPT-3. i believe he’s the one that really tried to push the Llama models toward multimodality
- Comment on Jack Dorsey Releases Vine Reboot Where AI Content Is Banned 4 weeks ago:
i guess the point that’s being missed is that when i say “hard” i mean virtually impossible
- Comment on Jack Dorsey Releases Vine Reboot Where AI Content Is Banned 4 weeks ago:
my point is that it’s hard to program someone’s subjective, if written in whatever form of legalese, point of view into a detection system, especially when those same detection systems can be used to great effect to train systems to bypass them. any such detection system would likely be an “AI” in the same way the ones they ban are and would be similarly prone to mistakes and to reflecting the values of the company (read: Jack Dorsey) rather than enforcing any objective ethical boundary.
- Comment on Jack Dorsey Releases Vine Reboot Where AI Content Is Banned 4 weeks ago:
but what are the criteria? just because you think you have a handle on it doesn’t mean everyone else does or even shares your conclusion. and there’s no metric here i can measure, to for example block it from my platform.
- Comment on Jack Dorsey Releases Vine Reboot Where AI Content Is Banned 4 weeks ago:
what about when the neural networks that power the DSP modules in all modern cell phones cameras? does a neural network filter that generates a 3D mesh or rather imposes a 3D projection, eg putting dog ears on yourself or Memojis, count? what if i record a real video and have Gemini edit the white balance? i don’t think it’s as cut and dry as most people think
- Comment on Jack Dorsey Releases Vine Reboot Where AI Content Is Banned 4 weeks ago:
it’s already the case that the distinction between what’s “AI” and what isn’t is a subjective, aesthetic difference and not a technical one
- Comment on Valve Announces New Steam Machine, Steam Controller & Steam Frame 5 weeks ago:
pretty sure it’s SteamOS, an Arch Linux derivative, on a fairly popular Snapdragon platform. probably not too difficult to hack on it.
- Comment on MPV: The Ultimate Self-Hosted Media Solution You're Probably Sleeping On 5 weeks ago:
i mean… sure. some neat tricks in here i wasn’t aware of, but asking my mom to open the terminal… i mean it’s not rocket science but that doesn’t make it accessible. all the scripting and stuff that you’re talking; that stuff comes in the Jellyfin box. honestly, it might be worth it to have both if you have users that aren’t comfortable in the terminal
- Comment on How Google Tracks and Scans Everything on Your Android Device 1 month ago:
i’d say so. i was a professional Android dev for years, and security and privacy are definitely one of the reasons i prefer iOS. i don’t have time to play with my phone so much for my personal device. Apple is the lesser of 2 evils since their business model doesn’t depend on this kind of tracking (even if they do it as well albeit to a lesser extent)
- Comment on btrfs offsite backup 1 month ago:
ok i’m not saying do this
i recently setup an API proxy, C&C server, Grafana and Prometheus, and Discord bot. now i can send pings via Grafana or with a simple request (provided it’s authed via VPN or proxy) and have my Discord bot use a local LLM on my network to deliver the alert to a private Discord channel in the voice of Ultron.
- Comment on Is AI Facing a Trough of Disillusionment? 3 months ago:
but LLMs do represent a significant technological leap forward. i also share the skepticism that we haven’t “cracked AGI” and that a lot of these products are dumb. i think another comment made a better analogy to the dotcom bubble.
- Comment on Is AI Facing a Trough of Disillusionment? 3 months ago:
i know it’s popular to be very dismissive, but a lot of “AI” has already been integrated into normal workflows. AI autocomplete in development text editors, software keyboards, and question asking bots isn’t going away. text-to-speech, “smart eraser”, subject classification, signal processing kernels like DLSS and frame generation, and so many more will be with us and improving for a long time. Transformers, machine learning optimized chips, and other ML fields are going to be with us for a long time. the comparison to NFTs is either angst or misunderstanding.

i don’t know the full nature of the exploit, but
zlibhas an exploitable integer overflow via the MiniZip project. even though our images don’t use that project. - Comment on The Debian project is proud to release Debian 13 "Trixie", a major update that brings new features, updated components, and numerous other improvements 4 months ago:
i know people usually are like, “oh cool new features”
but this has a security patch that will literally unblock my pipelines at work lol 🎉

- Comment on Linus Torvalds and Bill Gates Meet for the First Time Ever 5 months ago:
without checking, Gates’ wealth is probably tied up in a lot of MS stock, and he could probably walk into the office and ask the intern to get him a coffee. but yeah i think mostly retired.
Linus is still active is maintaining the Linux kernel.
and yes, this is fluff, not some kind of summit
