Flowers like this reminding us that they are, in fact, the plant’s sex organ.
- Comment on Eventually, old computers and operating systems will likely be referred to as dumb computers or dumb terminals or similar, because they don't have artificial intelligence. 2 weeks ago:
There’s nothing particularly “smart” about machine learning models. They are still programs that run on computers, the only difference is that they are made by another program rather than by a human, so they are too complicated for humans to meaningfully read.
Also, the meaning of digital hasn’t really changed. It still refers to information that is represented in bits rather than some analog format.

I finally switched to full-time Linux last year and I haven’t missed anything. The only stuff that doesn’t work (and doesn’t have a good alternative) are games with invasive anti-cheat that I wanted to boycott anyway.

- Comment on finally got static IP from a new ISP 1 month ago:
I have tons of great suggestions depending on your hardware and what kinds of things you’d like to be hosting.
However, for starters, if you’re not doing so already, make sure you are binding your qBittorrent container to a privacy VPN network interface. Test it to ensure it’s working. There are sites out there that you can use to check how your torrent IP presents. No matter what you’re torrenting, keep your IP hidden. The last thing you want is your ISP to terminate your fancy new service.
- Comment on Discord is verifying some users’ age with ID and facial scans 1 month ago:
Kind of. Matrix is the most supported, and works very well. However, it doesn’t have feature parity with Discord. Voice/video chat can be added via integrations, but it takes quite a few modifications to the server’s infrastructure.
It’s also a bit more complicated to navigate,
Revolt is being created as a proper FOSS Discord replacement (similar UI even), but it’s pretty early in development. It also lacks federation, which is a huge caveat imo.

- Comment on Trump cuts funding to FOSS projects. 1 month ago:
Let’s Encrypt has done so much for encouraging the spread of HTTPS and good certificate practices. If they went away, I honestly think a good chunk of the internet would start breaking after ~6 months.
- Comment on Trump cuts funding to FOSS projects. 1 month ago:
I this really sucks. I honestly didn’t know the Feds gave so much money to FOSS, but I looked up the USAGM and that makes sense.
It tracks with current trends. Basically anything that could be interpreted as benefiting any county other than the United States or any demographic other than rich white men is getting funding cut. What an embarrassment.
At a time when decentralizing information is critical, our tools to do so are also threatened.
- Comment on Microsoft has created an AI-generated version of Quake 2 months ago:
But if it’s AI generated, who are they going to lay off after they repeats it?
- Comment on New Jellyfin Server/Web release: 10.10.7 2 months ago:
Configurations behind a reverse proxy that did not explicitly configure trusted proxies will not work after this release. This was never a supported configuration, so please ensure you correct your configuration before upgrading. See the updated docs here for more information.
Well I’m glad I read that before upgrading!

Do you play exclusively esports games or something? It’s rare I encounter a title that doesn’t work just fine on Linux. It seems I barely need to tweak any settings anymore.
