  There's practical use for AI?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Yes, you can store data on a bird — enthusiast converts PNG to bird-shaped waveform, teaches young starling to recall file at up to 2MB/s⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The video is by Benn Jordan, I wholeheartedly recommend this video and entire channel. Guy is a world treasure.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Our Channel Could Be Deleted - Gamers Nexus⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  No, just be honest. "Bloomberg fradulent copyright strike on our black market documentary".

  Still one sentence.

  I use a Firefox extension called Dearrow because of this understandable, but unfortunate trend.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Our Channel Could Be Deleted - Gamers Nexus⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Totally agree. This is corpo, government doing stuff because they can, disregarding law they would have you uphold because you're beneath them.

  Corruption. Plain and simple.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Our Channel Could Be Deleted - Gamers Nexus⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Title is clickbait, because a sentence like that without context is alarmist.

  It's not wrong, it's mentioned and explained in the video, byt it's still clickbait.

  The story here is Bloomberg fuckery and the copyright strike, not the imminent channel deletion.

  GDPR prevents using underhanded tactics to assume consent for this type of use.

  That's even worse!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨In SpongeBob, Sandy Cheeks is way more closely related to Pearl and the fish than she is to anyone else in the main cast⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  We're basically fish, we just carry our own salty water around in skinsacks.

  Also, all naturally occuring ice is basically rocks, and obviously molten rocks are lava, so we're carrying lava in our bodies, which makes us lava monsters.

  Also also, your (and mine) digestive system is just a tube of outside inside our bodies, so we are torus-shaped fish lava monsters.

  You're welcome.

  But I'll thrive with my untreated ADHD (unlikely)!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨If I stood on a precision scale and farted, would I get lighter or heavier?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I feel like like I get denser everyday no matter I do.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨LOL GitHub [2018]⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  One is owned by Microsoft, the other is still effectively independent. Idk if I'd call it not much different.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨LOL GitHub [2018]⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I hope I wont get brigaded, but of hosted options I like Gitlab. They are fairly transparent as a company, and I've used their community edition for work and private projects for nearly a decade.

  Not just hosting, I like their CI/CD and devops features too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI industry horrified to face largest copyright class action ever certified⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  No. But going after LLMs wont make the situation for IA any worse, not directly anyway.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI industry horrified to face largest copyright class action ever certified⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  IA doesn't make any money off the content. Not that LLM companies do, but that's what they'd want.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨HELP: Wireguard for home network with remote exit node⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  You can set this up with your router connecting to the remote server and routing your client traffic through there instead of the gateway your router is using for WAN.

  Specifics are router... Specific.

  You can do the same with a vm in your network acting as a router or proxy as well, pick your poison.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Deploying Nextcloud on AWS ECS with Pulumi⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  All comments about overkill are amusing. You do you. Did you learn stuff?

  Maybe you can replace some of those tools with less expensive analogs, how's the cost anyway?

  I'm looking at tuwunel to setup instead of synapse as soon as it's ready. Still matrix, but maybe better for small instances.
