  Nothing like a little floating plastic pile in the middle of an ocean can’t fix.

  Just start. Even the most tech savvy of us started not knowing any of this. More importantly do what you’re interested in and that benefits you. You don’t have to have some grand implementation. Start simple and the rest follows.

  Just say it: preserve.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Where do you guys buy your 3D print and such at?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think this is fine. Blender and CAD are better in different use cases. But at the end of the day use what you’re comfortable with.

  I’ve used blender for the longest time simply because I know it and I’ve used it for other things. Recently I learned FreeCAD to the point where I’m comfortable doing basic things with it.

  For me, I didn’t have the mental energy. At a previous job, I was so mentally strained working 8 hours nonstop on highly mentally taxing tasks that even if I wanted to play a game, it felt like a chore rather than something I can enjoy or wind down to. Even if I had the time, since I do other stuff outside of work.

  The strange thing is, when I work I have the money but not the time nor energy to justify buying games to sink time into. When I don’t work I have the time and energy but not the money to justify paying $80-$100 on a game I probably won’t play as much as I think otherwise.

  I’ve in recent years looking more into reviews and such to weigh in whether or not I want to buy the game in the first place. Compare that to years prior when I could look at a trailer or short snippet and get a good idea of what the game has to offer. Now I’m more weary of grindy game mechanics and predatory micro transactions.

  Interesting how all those who are listed are people who AI is targeting: people who don’t understand AI.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Brave browser blocks Windows feature that takes screenshots of everything you do on your PC⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The same way you have a lock on your front door “just in case”. It’s not emotional. It’s logical.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Brave browser blocks Windows feature that takes screenshots of everything you do on your PC⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Microsoft is known for making things “optional” at first then eventually forcing it down everyone’s throats. Removing offline accounts is one of them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Self-hosting is having a moment. Ethan Sholly knows why.⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Personally, I’d say no. At that point you are administering it, not hosting it yourself.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Starting today, Heroic Games Launcher is indexing their Discord server⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Agreed. But it’s a good intermediate step.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bots increase online user engagement but stifle meaningful discussion, study shows⁩ ⁨⁨9⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Quantity over quality…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Chinese EV maker BYD says new fast-charging system could be as quick as filling up a tank⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah this is the idea. Personally I think charging needs more emphasis on at-work and apartment charging because if you don’t live at a house, you essentially rely on public charging which isn’t good for the battery.

  Also more hotels should have charging. Have no to drive 15 minutes away just to charge is annoying.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Issues with Immich⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The only issue I’ve had was when Immich doesn’t have enough memory. Immich is a memory hog and will slowly creep up its memory usage over time. Eventually it’ll crash and restart itself. Docker still shows it running, but the server its elf cannot be connected to.

  It sounds like it might be related to this.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨DeepSeek Proves It: Open Source is the Secret to Dominating Tech Markets (and Wall Street has it wrong).⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  You can’t built it yourself but you can download it and run it locally on your machine without it interacting to any server.

  There is a community-driven project aimed at making a fully reproducible version called Open-R1. You can find it at https://github.com/huggingface/open-r1.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨DeepSeek Proves It: Open Source is the Secret to Dominating Tech Markets (and Wall Street has it wrong).⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s semi-open, not fully open source as what is typically thought of.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What do people use for a shelf-stable backup⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I usually use a dehydrator for ~3 days on my drives to make them sell stable. So far I haven’t had any issues.
