- Comment on Valve's new hardware will NOT be loss leaders 5 hours ago:
Hacking at the kernel to make it work on a new device is a valid definition of hacking IMO.
Hacking [something together] - building something quickly to make it work not necessarily a robust inplementation.
- Comment on Valve's new hardware will NOT be loss leaders 7 hours ago:
That’s like saying an unlocked Pixel phone is a PC because you could technically develop an OS for it. Unlocked bootloader doesn’t an open system make.
- Comment on Valve's new hardware will NOT be loss leaders 9 hours ago:
You have to hack another OS to load it on a MacBook. Try running Linux on an M5 today. Not yet possible.
- Comment on Valve's new hardware will NOT be loss leaders 18 hours ago:
The pedantic argument was about personal computer, not just computer. I believe it was along the lines of push a few buttons, not hack the OS. Sorry I made you mad talking about macOS.
- Comment on Valve's new hardware will NOT be loss leaders 1 day ago:
Actually the current M-series are struggling to be feature complete on Linux, so while what you say was true for the Intel Macs, that is wilting away.
- Comment on Valve's new hardware will NOT be loss leaders 2 days ago:
Totally agree there. MacBooks don’t even really qualify there and even probably near future when newer Windows devices come locked down.
- Comment on Valve's new hardware will NOT be loss leaders 2 days ago:
So user friendly Linux running on it makes it not a console? For a while PS3 was just a couple button presses to get a full Linux distro booted on it. I don’t think anyone would argue PS3 wasn’t a console.
- Comment on How many virtual machines can you nest? 2 weeks ago:
Each new VM would get a smaller and smaller amount of resources available to it, and as you nest VMs, things start slowing down due to overhead. Think of a hallway. You have to take messages from one end to the other end for instruction processing. Each further nested VM has a longer and longer hallway.
- Comment on how do you explain selfhosting to the non-techies in your life? 2 weeks ago:
“You pay for how many streaming services??? You could start building a decent DVD/BRD collection that you own forever.”
“Yea but I hate swapping disks and I watch on my phone.”
“Gather around, let me tell you the story of a fin made of jelly.”
- Comment on I keep waffling on Proxmox. Sell me. For or against. 2 weeks ago:
I’m running Proxmox and hate it. I still recommend it for what you are trying to do. I think it would work quite nicely. Three of my four nodes have llama.cpp VMs hosting OpenAI-compatible LLM endpoints (llama-server) and I run Claude Code against that using a simple translation proxy.
Proxmox is very opinionated on certain aspects and I much prefer bare metal k8s for my needs.
- Comment on Study Claims 4K/8K TVs Aren't Much Better Than HD To Your Eyes 3 weeks ago:
I can still find 480p videos from when YouTube first started that rival the quality of the compressed crap “1080p” we get from YouTube today. It’s outrageous.
- Comment on Are there good Movies, TV Shows, Anime, with wholesome family (particularly parent-child) relations? 3 weeks ago:
The original Naruto series has its moments. The first two or three arcs hit me throughout several times.

It’s not a war on

How can I subscribe for more language nuance explanations?
- Comment on Google's shocking developer decree struggles to justify the urgent threat to F-Droid 1 month ago:
I’m out of the loop, what’s that about Audacity? Looks like they still have a github repo with very recent activity and Wikipedia says their trademark was acquired by a company in 2021.
- Comment on Best Practice Ideas 2 months ago:
This is pretty rad! Thanks for sharing. I went down the same road with learning k3s on about 7 Raspberry Pis and pivoted over to Proxmox/Ceph on a few old gaming PCs / Ethereum miners. Now I am trying to optimize the space and looking at how to rack mount my ATX machines with GPUs lol… I was able to get a RTX 3070 to fit in a 2U rack mount enclosure but having some heat issues… going to look at 4U cases with better airflow for the RTX 3090 and various RX480s.
I am planning to set up Talos VMs (one per Proxmox host) and bootstrap k8s with Traefik and others. If you’re learning, you might want to start with a batteries-included k8s distro like k3s.
- Comment on Anyone tried cloud gaming? 2 months ago:
I followed the wiki tutorials for that. Make sure iommu is working, blacklist drivers on host, etc.
- Comment on Anyone tried cloud gaming? 2 months ago:
It’s on my lift of projects. I build a Proxmox+Ceph cluster and I have GPU passthrough working for LLM inference. I was planning to get docker headless Steam going and try to steam via Steam In Home Streaming as my first attempt then pivot to a full VM with Sunshine as a last resort.

- Comment on [deleted] 4 months ago:
Cheaper is one aspect. Less physical things to have to keep track of and manage is what I am really after. I want a singular device that is capable of all the things/modes that I want. I’m sure I’ll get downvoted for this, but what I see is a singular device capable of all sorts of things being eventually small enough to be embedded inside a body, essentially like cyborg. Like 100 years from now assuming society doesn’t collapse by then.
- Comment on [deleted] 4 months ago:
Why have one device or why desktop mode?
One device because it would reduce the burden on me of maintaining multiple devices, the security updates, passwords, etc.
Why desktop mode? Because when I try to do what I would call “serious work” (probably a bad name for it, but think something requiring extended periods of deep focus), the interface of smartphones is not conducive for it. Precision of a mouse is required, ability to type 100+ words per minute is required, so that necessitates mouse and keyboard. Then there’s the UX itself. Smartphones have tiny screens so they can’t have many menu items or controls in the apps that are used for “serious work”. That requires larger screen real estate, so necessitates an external monitor.
I don’t want to start rambling so I’ll just leave it at that.
- Comment on [deleted] 4 months ago:
I’ve been wanting a phone that can dock and be used as a full fledged desktop since smartphones first came out. Samsung Dex apparently comes close, but is too limited in terms of the desktop app side.
- Comment on LLMs factor in unrelated information when recommending medical treatments 4 months ago:
Bridging the gap is something sorely needed and LLMs are damn close to achieving.
- Comment on Kubernetes storage backends 4 months ago:
I’m really not sure. I’ve heard of people using Ceph across datacenters. Presumably that’s with a fast-ish connection, and it’s like joining separate clusters, so you’d likely need local ceph cluster at each site then replicate between datacenters. Probably not what you’re looking for.
I’ve heard good things about Garbage S3 and that it’s usable across the internet on slow-ish connections. But it’s object storage only.
- Comment on Kubernetes storage backends 4 months ago:
I know Ceph would work for this use case, but it’s not a lighthearted choice, kind of an investment and a steep learning curve (at least it was for me).
- Comment on Tailscale MagicDNS issues since 1.84.1 mac? 5 months ago:
I went and edited my hosts file and added all of my devices, but I only have a handful. Tailscale on macOS has a lot of bugs, this being one of many.
- Comment on Oppose STOP CSAM: Protecting Kids Shouldn’t Mean Breaking the Tools That Keep Us Safe 5 months ago:
This is something that directly impacts Lemmy and all Fediverse. Section 230 makes the hosting provider not liable for things their users post as long as they remove offending material (I don’t know the specifics, IANAL). Eroding section 230 is like pulling the ladder up behind the behemoth providers like YouTube. New small time services will essentially be illegal.

- Comment on ICE Taps into Nationwide AI-Enabled Camera Network, Data Shows 5 months ago:
You’re assuming competence is part of the equation. Some passive resistance of the operators could make this viable.
- Comment on ICE Taps into Nationwide AI-Enabled Camera Network, Data Shows 5 months ago:
That requires an IR source. The glow in the dark might trigger without an external IR source. So depends on the capabilities of the system in question. Some have active IR scene illuminators, some are passive.
