A wprthy cause, but there’s no end of other things to host in LXC. It’s possible, but unpleasant and can be brittle for updates.
- Comment on 'Borderlands 4 is a premium game made for premium gamers' is Randy Pitchford's tone deaf retort to the performance backlash: 'If you're trying to drive a monster truck with a leaf blower's motor, you're going to be disappointed' 1 day ago:
Eventually, the bubble will burst.
Venture Cap paid for the first round of hardware; it has to make real money for the second round.
Once the token price rises to the actual cost of buying the ephemeral hardware it’s running on, no one will want to use it for the hard stuff.

When everyone stops chasing cryptocoin and AI the prices will come down.
As long as people will pay 2k for a video card, they’ll charge 2k for a video card :(
The market doesn’t discern between gamers, cryptobros, and corporations.
I thought we were about to have a break when everything went ASIC, but that just didn’t last.

You know, it would be a really neat browser plug-in. Mouse over a URL and get the encoded bit decoded?
- Comment on 600 GB of Alleged Great Firewall of China Data Published in Largest Leak Yet 3 days ago:
I mean, it’s a data leak. It’s not really China good or China bad. This is what China is doing. And they’re doing it on their own network to their own people and then lending the technology out to others that want to do it on their own networks.
To be honest, I find this rather exciting. Based on recent moves in Europe and the US, I suspect that everyone is going to be doing this before long. And I, for one, would like to get out in front of it and see some of the methods they’re using. And not to just subvert, but see what they’re doing, when it comes to my neck of the woods, what can I do about it? Or, even more importantly, what am I going to get in trouble for that I’m doing now that’s not currently, but will soon be illegal.
- Comment on Root cause for why Windows 11 is breaking or corrupting SSDs may have been found 3 days ago:
I believe they were packaging shitware with their binaries. It also isn’t generally healthy to do a lot of the things they do to the operating system. For a free, quick emergency on install, imo they are fine, I removed it after it got the job done.
I don’t know what the current free uninstaller is, my first thought was Revo, but it looks like somebody threw up monetization all over their shit.
I could probably have used Gandalf or something, but I haven’t updated it in a while and I just wanted CC gone.
Thanks for the tip though.

I’ve had enough of you. I encourage everyone here to just block you.
- Comment on Firefox Finally Introducing Matroska / MKV Playback Support 5 days ago:
It supports more complicated subtitles and menuing, more codec support (like a LOT more) lossless support, mode audio formats.
It’s like they took MP4 and added in all the stuff that you needed to replicate a BluRay, then added in lossless audio.
If you just want a movie with basic subtitles and audio, MP4 is fine. If you want to replicate newer stuff, MKV supports it.
The real hot part of this is if you have a collection of high-quality video/audio and you’re streaming it to firefox, you’ll natively be able to do so without transcoding.

God I’d hope so. Imagine how bad you’d have to fuck up time to make it not :)

He had a following cheering him on, too.
There’s a family of kids who’ve died to school shooters. In a lot of cases, they’re very upset and have very little to live for.
He was perpetuating it. I’m honestly shocked it took this long.

You’re right, some people just aren’t compatible with a 50-pin SCSI adapter.

- Comment on Exactly Six Months Ago, the CEO of Anthropic Said That in Six Months AI Would Be Writing 90 Percent of Code 5 days ago:
We’ve been poking at it for a while now. The parent company is demanding we see where it can fit. We’ve found some solid spots.
It’s not good at ingesting a sprawling project and rooting in changes in several places, but it’s not bad at looking over a file and making best practice recommendations. I’ve seen it preemptively find some bugs in old code.
If you want to use a popular library you’re not familiar with, it’ll wedge it in your current function reasonably well; you’ll need to touch it, but you probably won’t need to RTFM.
It’s solid at documenting existing code. Make me a manual page for every function/module in this project.
It can make a veteran programmer faster by making boilerplates and looking over their shoulder for problems. It has some limited use for peer programming.
It will NOT let you hire a green programmer instead of a vetran, but it can help a green programmer come up to speed faster as long as you forbid them from copy/paste.

We’d mostly have a different views if he weren’t openly advocating for school shootings. He was literally framing them as a good thing. He was shock and awe, and drawing followers. It’s not all jokes, people are happy he’s dead and rightfully so imo.

"Grunthos was reported to have been “disappointed” by the poem’s reception, and was about to embark on a reading of his 12-book epic entitled “My Favourite Bathtime Gurgles” when his own major intestine, in a desperate attempt to save humanity, leapt straight up through his neck and throttled his brain.

You sign up everybody for an account. There’s an admin where they can see how many tokens everyone is using.
- Comment on Finally setup nginx as a reverse proxy. 6 days ago:
Straight up reverse proxy isn’t bad. I think it’s only a couple lines in a file.
But when you want to add let’s encrypt and dynamic DNS. It starts to get a little bit meatier.
- Comment on Finally setup nginx as a reverse proxy. 6 days ago:
Providing documentation to something that you don’t know is one of its few really solid uses. If it misses a detail or doesn’t get it right on the first try, it’s still probably faster than you starting from scratch, RTFM.

- Comment on if charlie kirk is so pro life then why is he dead? 1 week ago:
Many years ago when Faces of Death was still a hot thing and I was young, and the internet was ripe for the picking for such things… A number, more than a couple. First hand in real life two, but no shots to the neck.
It seemed low on the outside to catch an artery, obviously it did because you would have had that kind of flow without it.
Honestly, come a lot of the gruesome and horrible crap out there looks kind of tame compared to this. It’s one of the things that surprised me back in the 90s, I was expecting everything to kind of look like this.
- Comment on if charlie kirk is so pro life then why is he dead? 1 week ago:
It was unexpected, I’ll give it that. If I saw it on a movie, i’d have called it fake :)

- Comment on AI adoption rate is declining among large companies — US Census Bureau claims fewer businesses are using AI tools 1 week ago:
It’ll right itself when the CEOs stop investing in it and force it on their own companies.
When they’re not getting their returns, they’ll sell their stocks and stop paying for it.
It’ll eventually go back from slop generation to correction and light editing tools when venture stops paying for the hardware to run tokens and they have to pay to replace the cards. .
- Comment on Google admits the open web is in ‘rapid decline’ 1 week ago:
TOR is rough, i2p is rough, ipfs is nearly dead
Gemini protocol is lit and fast but dead. it’s like a fancier version of gopher.
If we could all move over to gemini, i’d be stoked, no javascript, limited cgi bin opporunities
- Comment on There is no good reason why there is still homelessness and poverty 1 week ago:
I bought it the wrong time. I had a house and paid for 15 years lost $200,000 in the sale.
I would have actually done quite well to rent instead.
