  I haven’t made any purchases since tariffs drove up prices.

  I was prepping to build a new NAS in 2026.

  Not anymore sellouts.

  Yes, trying to document give ownership of it to one of his lackies.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨LG TVs’ unremovable Copilot shortcut is the least of smart TVs’ AI problems⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Realtime subtitles is a value ad for the user. That’s totally fine.

  Copilot scanning my activity and recommending me shows serves the company, get that out.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do we have No Man's Sky fans here?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I hmhave a goal of having bases evenly distributed across the galaxies. So I hop on every once in a while to find a suitable planet for the next base.

  They replay all the expeditions during the holidays so I do the ones I missed as well.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do you healthcheck your containers?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You can read the Dockerfile for the HEALTHCHECK clause however not all have it as it’s been introduced in later docker versions.

  You can also write your own using things like curl.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lightweight and flexible: Bitwarden lite self-host deployment is now generally available | Bitwarden⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think it’s nice they offer their own lite version.

  Just because there is a more popular OSS solution doesn’t mean they should be complacent and accept people will use Vaultwarden.

  This shows they support their users directly instead of just letting their users fend for themselves.

  They also could indirectly be blamed by some people using vaultwarden should an issue arise with it.

  By publishing the first party lite version they can say “well you’re not using our supported version”. While still being friendly to self-hosters.

  Ive been eyeing up signage displays and 50"+ gaming monitors.

  I don’t want the smart in my display, I want the smart attached to my display.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨PS5 is outselling Switch 2⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Agreed. I always wait for Zelda, Animal Crossing, and Smash Bros.

  But honestly, it’s not worth it at the prices theyre asking.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is Pixelfed sawing off the branch that the Fediverse is sitting on?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  So many Fediverse mascots I don’t recognize! Glad to see there are so many more clients than I knew of

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is Pixelfed sawing off the branch that the Fediverse is sitting on?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh wow, why not just show the users avatar on text only posts?

  Then pretty ui and unbroken compat.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Aside from similar artists, I scrobble to Listenbrainz, which gives recommendations from similar artists and similar listeners.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Aluminium OS will be Google’s take on Android for PC⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Normally I would be excited. But now they build things with AI integrated.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨OpenAI needs to raise at least $207bn by 2030 so it can continue to lose money, HSBC estimates⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Our company rolled out a new and innovative internal LLM. It’s intended to help with coding tasks and find internal documentation.

  (Which really is just a wrapper over copilot).

  When looking form-documentation, it fails harder than pasting the same text into the sesrch bar.

  I don’t find LLMs helpful for coding since they’re wrong so often. But after encouragement I decided to try my hand at using it to help me debug a small 12 line bash script.

  Whenever I posted examples it would fail silently. I assumed it wasnt sanitizing inputs so I tried a few other methods of wrapping the text. It would still faik silently.

  Eventually, a half hour later I decided to just Google it. After I resolved my own problem it messaged me, 45+ minutes later to say “an error occurred trying to handle your request”.

  These things suck so bad they can’t even error out effectively.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Americans are holding onto devices longer than ever and it’s costing the economy⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If the economy depends in us buying new phones every two years, then maybe the economy wasn’t as strong as we thought it was.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Please tell me this is shopped.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I was always taught that one should not pose for a photo with alcohol in hand so as not to look tacky.

  Glad to see our highest class of elites follow similar etiquette.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Baby boomers want to axe property taxes. Millennials and Gen Z would pay for it.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Home hoarders and NIMBYS ruin the world in pursuit of property values. Now you reap what you sow.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨People are playing fewer games and new releases are "struggling", say Ubisoft UK, warning of falling revenues⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  This tracks.

  I’m so drained from work now. They keep cutting out teams and expecting more output anyway.

  I changed the games I play, I no longer play RPG games that take a huge time investment and defer to Arcadey indie games I can pick up and put quickly.

  Yes I’d love to play Dark Souls to completion, for example, but I don’t have the energy for that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨UK | Parent called police over school’s ban on mobile phones⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Parents like to be able to contact their kids whenever they want (and via versa).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How bad is it really to listen to music with headphones? My mom told me if I keep doing that I'd go deaf... Is that fearmongering?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Just be aware that the music volume and the volume of noise in your environment are supplementary.

  That means that if you raise the volume of your headphones to hear over your environment you risk damage.

  Nouse cancelling headphones help with this.

  I haven’t read any research on whether active nouse cancellation contributes to this, since active NC is producing more noise in the audible range that you can’t perceive.

  I do use active NC on planes and don’t feel pain in my ears, but I am wary of it and only use it on planes for now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Uh oh: Ubisoft postpones its quarterly financial report at the last minute and halts stock trading⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh wow you anger much less easily.

  I started boycotting when they started forcing uPlay even in Steam games.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Uh oh: Ubisoft postpones its quarterly financial report at the last minute and halts stock trading⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh awesome! It’s like Frets on Fire but for DDR

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I hate it when people use pictures showing the condiments only on top of a hot dog.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Ohh you eat it like a sub? 😅

  I only do that if I’m lazy and use sandwich bread for a roll.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I hate it when people use pictures showing the condiments only on top of a hot dog.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m confused. If I put mustard on a hotdog it looks exactly like that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨moving from nextcloud to opencloud⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  OpenCloud has made a conscious decision not to use relational databases and instead uses files to store metadata. This decision simplifies the system considerably and at the same time helps to improve scalability and system stability.

  Well color me convinced. The most frustrating part about updating Nextcloud is fixing the database schema.

  I don’t even want a database I just want a lightweight webui for manage my files from a browser.

  OpenCloud fits the bill much better.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Promised myself I will support them after they go stable. They kept their promise and so did I⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  ente.io has e2ee. Tehg recently opened up their software so self hosting.

  I font have enough exp with both Immich and Ente to make a statement as to whether they have all of the same features or not.
