- Comment on Thanks I'd rather my beer stay analogue 1 week ago:
If you follow the homebrewing socials world there was a flurry of AI vs human beer recipe videos and posts a while ago.
in short, yes most of these Ai tools can spit out a workable beer recipe, but as expected it’s more or less just the average of multiple published recipes and not particularly special, and if you ask it to tweak the recipe for a particular quality it falls apart quickly due to a lack of source data for the effects of all possible variables.

Adapt more of the books you cowards!

- Comment on Apparent issues with ZFS on RPi 5 2 weeks ago:
the radxa penta is a JMB585 connected with pcie gen3x1.
They do overheat though, might need a heatsink and some ZFS tuning.
- Comment on Introducing UniFi OS Server for MSPs 3 weeks ago:
They still push their exclusive features and services in the UI’s pretty hard, but I’m OK with that while they are making moves like this, and letting you have third party cameras mixed into their ecosystem reasonably easily.
- Comment on Introducing UniFi OS Server for MSPs 3 weeks ago:
Very happy to see this, I thought they were going to be pulling away from self-hostable and more flexible solutions a few years back when they stopped developing things like Unifi Video, but they seem to have made many positive movements towards openness, true ownership and self-hostability lately.
- Comment on Microsoft suddenly bans LibreOffice developer's email account, blocks appeal 3 weeks ago:
I stopped using Hotmail when gmail launched and I was given one of the early invites from a tech relative. I have the welcome email from '04.
But now I’m looking at moving my emails to a self hosted solution because they have used everything in my >20year email history for Ai and I don’t want that to continue into the future.
- Comment on Startup Claims Its Fusion Reactor Concept Can Turn Cheap Mercury Into Gold 3 weeks ago:
If it is possible to make small amounts of those elements on purpose as a byproduct, it can help to offset the costs of the reactor in some small way and help with isotopic/nuclear research in general. But that can be done in pretty much any fusion reactor design to some degree.
As for Alchemy of the future, If in a thousand years we can just built whatever materials we need (including potential ultra heavy stable elements) from raw subatomic particles we don’t even need mining, just gather up some hydrogen/helium from space and transmute it into whatever you need. food, fuel, structures, etc.
- Comment on Startup Claims Its Fusion Reactor Concept Can Turn Cheap Mercury Into Gold 3 weeks ago:
a lot longer than that.
Synthetic corundum, spinel and others have been around for over 120 years, and optically transparent uncoloured sapphire glass for over 80 years. They are just aluminium oxides.
ALON is just the new hotness, and not as good as some others in terms of visible light transparency.
- Comment on Startup Claims Its Fusion Reactor Concept Can Turn Cheap Mercury Into Gold 3 weeks ago:
Aluminium Oxide (Al~2~O~3~) can be crystal clear too, it’s just Sapphire, I have a chunk of it on my wrist right now, looks pretty clear to me, and almost as hard as a diamond.
- Comment on Startup Claims Its Fusion Reactor Concept Can Turn Cheap Mercury Into Gold 3 weeks ago:
any particle accelerator can do that just incredibly slowly.
Alchemy of that sort has been doable for generations, it’s just WILDLY impractical!
- Comment on For Steins;Gate watchers, what do you think of Steins;Gate 0? 5 weeks ago:
Honestly, after watching both animes and playing through both games several times, I prefer SG0 anime too but as far as the VN goes I think I prefer the original there.
I love the story arc of SG0, but in the game makes it too easy to hit the bad endings and cut the whole story really short. They did it very well in the anime.
- Comment on goodbye plex 1 month ago:
Yea, JF is getting mature enough for more people to transition.
I’ve been running it side by side with Plex for about 2 years now, and have a couple of clients (and all of my personal use) on JF, but a few users either cant run JF directly on their hardware (and don’t want to cast every time) or they are older and would struggle to learn a new app without some hands on practice with it.
The newest Plex UI update on some devices is causing some problems so I think I’ll have a few more users moving to JF in the near future.
It’s a bit of a ram hog compared to plex but that’s not a major issue.
- Comment on First time setting up a NAS 1 month ago:
unraid is great but on a little 4 bay mini nas with limited expandability you don’t get much advantage for the money, it’s better for larger arrays and lots of mixed disk sizes, and on systems where you can put in lots of SSDs to make a decently fast caching setup die to unraid slower non-striped array architecture.
On a 4 bay mini-NAS I’d go with the free truenas option and just make it a RaidZ1 of 4 disks.
For a beginner, OMV might be simpler, and for paid options, HexOS is probably more beginner friendly than raw TrueNas.
A free alternative to Unraid is Snapraid, but thats more of a roll-your-own solution, not an OS you can just install.
- Comment on Unmatched power 2 months ago:
I’d be throwing in some of the individually wrapped single twix you get in some mixed packs… just to throw them off and add some statistical interest.
- Comment on Slice of life, wistful melancholy, and K-On making me cry a bunch 2 months ago:
There’s something about slice of life as a genre in general.
I guess its a sort of melancholy rose-tinted look at something a lot of people either missed out on entirely during our school years, or that we once had but lost as we all grew up and grew apart.
Hibike! Euphonium (the whole series, movies and the perfect masterpiece Liz and the Blue Bird) hits that for me as well, I was never a band kid, but I feel like it’s 100% relatable regardless. Do it Yourself was the same, that was a great little show.
- Comment on Fake reviews on Play Store by Plex staff 3 months ago:
jellyfin was a fork of emby anyway, its core framework is solid.
Emby has more of the plex-like polish, but it is more closed source than I would prefer to trust with my media, so I get by with Jellyfin. It works more than well enough fro my in-home media streaming and I still run plex for my remote users as I bought a plex pass way back at the start and I’m going to use it until I simply cant anymore… which seems to be rapidly approaching.

Their consciousness is arguable to begin with

I never used it, but it was a popular third party add-on before the feature was integrated.
