  I have a GL-AX1800 and I’ve been happy with it; going to get another for my mum.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Someone Forked Systemd to Strip Out Its Age Verification Support⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  If a law passes and you’re running your IT infrastructure and not enforcing it then you have bigger problems.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The FCC decided that all foreign-made consumer-grade Internet routers are prohibited from receiving FCC authorization and are therefore prohibited from being imported for use or sale in the US.⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  So buy a last gen router and then flash the update when you get it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Someone Forked Systemd to Strip Out Its Age Verification Support⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  They literally just added a field in the JSON schema to support a birth date field which is completely optional and has no relevance on the project. People are so dumb.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The FCC Just Banned the Sale of New Wi-Router Models Made Outside US⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  So just buy in a commerce site in Europe and import it

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Theoretically speaking, if one wanted to sail the seas while being not very tech savvy – is using a VPN (Mullvad) enough? I would never, of course… but theoretically?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Also some good rhymes

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨In WW2 we were told Hitler was a danger but not to us directly. Iraq was for WMD''s. Now Iran is for oil basically? What if the US got out of other peeps stuff and went isolationist for about 10 years⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  There’s a middle ground between not starting imperialistic wars and isolationism. The isolationist period of the US was just as bad.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  What troubles were you having with Baikal? I generally let mine just sit with a checked out tag from Git.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I built a local AI movie recommender for Radarr using Ollama⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  When you go to a shelf of recommendations, you’re not picking from a human; you’re picking from a shelf.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I built a local AI movie recommender for Radarr using Ollama⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Seriously; local AI use is what everyone should strive for not only for privacy but because it’s better than using a large data centre and the power use for Ollama is negligible.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I built a local AI movie recommender for Radarr using Ollama⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Is it any different that getting movies based on recommendations from employees at video stores?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨CW: Picture of a severe vaccine injury, NSFL⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The internet happened.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨CW: Picture of a severe vaccine injury, NSFL⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The only thing I got from my recent COVID booster was chills, aches, and soreness for two days and I do it again in a heartbeat.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Google told staff worried about Pentagon AI deals that the company is 'leaning more' into national security contracts⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Ok but that’s worse. You get how that’s worse?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Sam Altman Thanks Programmers for Their Effort, Says Their Time Is Over⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Petition to merc all billionaires

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Did we win?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  You win by disabling software updates at Android 15.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Mozilla is launching a free built-in VPN on Firefox 149 — but with some conditions⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Mozilla has always had a VPN offering; this is just doing the same thing that Vivaldi did with Proton. It’s not designed for power users; it’s designed for regular users to introduce them to more private browsing.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are public school teachers so underpaid in the US?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Because about 90% of legislators are rich and went to private religious schools.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reddit users hate NordVPN. Are their criticisms legit?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Nord is good for what it is; they advertise to casual users for a reason.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨10% of Firefox crashes are caused by bitflips⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The 90% are caused by Fhqwhgads.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Claude Code deletes developers' production setup, including its database and snapshots — 2.5 years of records were nuked in an instant⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  sigh

  Use LLMs as instructional models not as production/development models. It’s not hard, people. You don’t need to connect credentials to any LLMs just like you’d never write your production passwords on post-it’s and stick them on your computer monitor.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can a reasonable person genuinely believe in ghosts?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Ok, here’s the thing. I don’t remember many dreams from a week ago but to this date I still remember waking up as a kid in the early 90’s and looking down the stairs and seeing two people in period clothes standing at the bottom of the stairs. We lived in a house from the 1800s so it checked out; and given that I genuinely felt a force when I tried to close the basement door, I believe they were basically standing guard between the cellar door and me protecting me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The world is trying to log off U.S. tech⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I finally moved my personal dev/blog server to Hetzner and today was the first time in a while that the AWS bill was smaller than what it normally was (I did get rid of everything - EC2, S3 - except for domain registrations since I didn’t want to renew ones that just got renewed yet). Obviously I was still just paying for half the month so next month should be even smaller.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Amazon discovered a 'high volume' of CSAM in its AI training data but isn't saying where it came from⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Well that’s not going to hold up in court.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bye, X: Europeans are launching their own social media platform, W⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Doing a pure EU PDS is great; hopefully they do a Webview too, so that moderation and trust and safety aren’t at the behest of US Bsky.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why does apartment management expect you to call the police over every tenant incident?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Depends on what type of incident; if it’s something like noise in the hall or smoking, my apartment management handles it and lets people know (assuming it’s warning territory).

  I’d imagine for anything else, it’s a matter of not wanting to endanger people through escalation of non authority figures. I think you would have to have just cause to evict people, so having an official investigation would be imperitive.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Apple picks Google’s Gemini AI for its big Siri upgrade⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  So it’s less a Siri upgrade and more just a getting rid of Siri and putting in Gemini slop.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Epic Games CEO Tim Sweeney argues banning Twitter over its ability to AI-generate pornographic images of minors is just 'gatekeepers' attempting to 'censor all of their political opponents'⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Weird how many billionaires are just openly pro paedophia.
