- Comment on surely your hobby can't be that expensive 6 days ago:
It’s free until you start wasting money on hosting and domains, for websites that no one will ever visit.
I don’t want to know how much I would be paying, if I didn’t have a home server with fiber internet.

I have managed to get to locked out of my own Nextcloud. It was encrypted, and I didn’t know that I had to keep a backup of the keys in its config files. I only had a RAID1 for the user data.

Keep in mind that a lot of webpages block traffic from datacenters, as they are trying to protect themselves from AI scrappers. I recently had an issue with OpenAI making thousands of requests to one of my servers.
- Comment on HP and Dell disable HEVC support built into their laptops’ CPUs 4 weeks ago:
blocked in acpi
install Linux
Huh? How could Linux solve an ACPI problem?
- Comment on HP and Dell disable HEVC support built into their laptops’ CPUs 4 weeks ago:
This doesn’t answer the Linux part of the question.
What does “licensing issue” means for the laptop itself? Is HEVC disabled at BIOS/firmware level, or it is just disabled at Windows driver level?
In the latter case, HEVC should work with Linux, as it uses generic Intel/AMD drivers, instead of specific Dell/HP ones.

Did you bother to read the 3rd part of my previous comment?
- Comment on Controversial startup's plan to 'sell sunlight' using giant mirrors in space would be 'catastrophic' and 'horrifying,' astronomers warn 1 month ago:
If I understand correctly, those mirrors will reflect sun rays, that would otherwise be wasted across the universe, to earth.
So, you are fundamentally wrong. The very idea is to reflect sunlight that wouldn’t otherwise hit the planer. This WILL add extra energy to the planet.
Even if they used sunlight that bounces off earth, they would still cause issues, just a little less serious. This is because they would be trapping energy that tries to leave the earth.

- Comment on The AI that we'll have after AI (Doctorow) 2 months ago:
I think that you misunderstood my comment.
The video shows how SLI makes the frame pacing more inconsistent, which is a known issue when multiple GPUs work together to solve the same problem.
What I am talking about is more like Nvidia Optimus. This is a common technology on laptops, where the display is connected to the low power iGPU, while games can use the dedicated Nvidia chipset.
I don’t know about potential frame pacing issues on these technologies, and it seems like it was not addressed in the video either. However, I know that newer laptops have a switching chip that connects the display to the dedicated GPU, which, I think, aims on lowering the latency.
- Comment on The AI that we'll have after AI (Doctorow) 2 months ago:
You can still use such GPU as an accelerator either for running AI, or for gaming. In either case, given that you workload is Vulkan-based on Linux, you can use vkdevicechooser.
Of course, you will need a second GPU (even the CPU’s integrated one) to connect your display(s).

- Comment on Which one and why? 2 months ago:
Your request was about “a normal spoon”. The object in the picture is a spork.
My client decided that your request should be rejected, and you have to use spoon 3.
- Comment on Which one and why? 2 months ago:
Sorry if rule 1 was not clear, but you can only use the spoon when eating. In the positive side of things, you will no longer have to carry an entire set.
- Comment on Which one and why? 2 months ago:
OP’s lawyer here
I discussed your request with my client, and we decided to move forward with accepting it.
However, it’s up to you, yo approve this decision. Your options are (a) use spoon number 3 for the rest of your life, or (b) use a normal spoon for the rest of your life.
Keep in mind that:
- You can only use the chosen spoon, no matter what the circumstances. For example, it doesn’t matter if you forgot it at home, or you are trying to eat a steak.
- You may wash your spoon, when necessary.
- You use other tools for other jobs. Rule 1 only applies to eating.
- You may not change spoon if it breaks, or gets contaminated.

It was so sad you could not watch a 30 seconds ad to revive back then. No cosmetics to buy, nothing. Just an ugly snake running around.
