• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reducing power consumption of a desktop PC⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The Ryzen 2600 has a TDP of 65W. With a CPU with 35W TDP maybe a passive cooler like the Noctua NH-P1 would work. Still really hard to beat the efficiency of an ARM chip.

  Funny. My Jellyfin instance is working fine. 😏

  Be aware you might have to resort to nftables if firewalld doesn’t work. I use localhost a lot and the routing rules are different in that case.

  And the GOP had a shitfit when Hunter Biden made legitimate business deals and occasionally name dropped his father.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New California law requires AI to tell you it’s AI⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  An individual wouldn’t verify this but enough independent agencies or news orgs would probably care enough to verify a photo. For the vast majority we’re already too far gone to properly separate fiction an reality. If we can’t get into a courtroom and prove that a picture or video is fact or fiction then we’re REALLY fucked.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New California law requires AI to tell you it’s AI⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The point is to give photographers a “receipt” for their photos. If you don’t want the receipt it would be easy to scrub from photo metadata.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New California law requires AI to tell you it’s AI⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Actually seems easier (probably not at the state level) to mandate cameras and such digitally sign any media they create. No signature or verification, no trust.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Personal data storage is an idea whose time has come⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t know if it was overhyped or too expensive (or both) but Drobo seemed like a good consumer solution to this problem. The idea of being able to live swap drives and have it all handle redundancy, provisioning, recovery, and whatnot automatically is critical for making this a true “home appliance”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How Much Energy Does It Take to Power Billions of AI Queries?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Energy usage may not be astronomical right now but AI is going into everything. Like EVERYTHING! It’ll be running even when you don’t think it’s running, when you think it makes no sense to be running. Usage of AI itself will skyrocket and the fastest energy sources that can be acquired are likely to come first.

  Thanks for mentioning Wolf. I’m pretty happy with Sunshine but I do have those occasions where it can’t stream because my monitor is turned off (upstairs) when I’m downstairs.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ICE to Buy Tool that Tracks Locations of Hundreds of Millions of Phones Every Day⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If I took this argument in good faith, also consider your behaviors can be used against you and your neighbor. I’ve heard people say TikTok knew they were bisexual before the user themself knew it. Massive amounts of data on human behavior can be used to sell you the newest phone or the newest infringement of your rights.

  In case it wasn’t clear, companies will gladly kill you if it pads their bottom line. Their only principle is “make more money”.

  Clearly this admin doesn’t care about pesky things like laws. If they don’t like you they’ll pull any dirty trick they can to stop you. Only reason they haven’t gone after normal people is time and money.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Whether you use AI, think it's a "fun stupid thing for memes", or even ignore it, you should know it's already polluting worse than global air travel.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Same. And they basically jizz their pants when they see a practical use for AI, but 9 out of 10 times there’s already a cheaper and more reliable solution they won’t even entertain.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Vibe coding has turned senior devs into ‘AI babysitters,’ but they say it’s worth it | TechCrunch⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  If I try to get it to do more than predict the next two lines of code it’s gonna fuck something up. A nervously laughable thing I saw at work was someone using a long spec file to generate a series of other files and getting high praise for it. It was the equivalent of mustache templates but slower and with a 30% chance of spitting out garbage. There was also no way to verify if you were in that 30% zone without looking through the dozens of files it made.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ethical alternatives to Spotify⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I once heard that artists get more money from merch than plays or record sales (per dollar spent). If you want to support them buy a tshirt or something from their official site.

  If there’s sufficient water and land you can put a data center anywhere. If you’re going to screw over the locals somehow it’s better to do it in a place that’s relatively poor with no real power to fight back against the pollution, utility increases, and noise that follow.

  I convert my files to avoid transcoding but my Raspberry Pi 4B handles Jellyfin just fine.

  Or you give it 3-4 requirements (e.g. prefer constants, use ternaries when possible) and after a couple replies it forgets a requirement, you set it straight, then it immediately forgets another requirement.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why the video of Charlie Kirk being shot was kept on social media platforms⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, no desire to see it myself. I was on the fence about reporting a still shot I saw on IG. Don’t suppress but don’t advertise.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨emergency remote access⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Even if it isn’t an OpenWRT router if you have a hardwired server it can probably do a soft reset of the router or even modem (most modems I’ve used have had a web interface). If your router is in such a bad state it only responds to a hard reset it’s probably reaching EoL.
