  Wandering the desert?

  Nay, vibe travelling.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨OpenAI says over a million people talk to ChatGPT about suicide weekly⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:

  They didn’t release their methods, so I can’t be sure that most of those aren’t just frustrated users telling the LLM to go kill itself.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Keeping that MFer on its toes⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I always think of this when someone tells me to water my plants regularly and not always let them dry out and subsequently overwater the shit out of them to compensate.

  No, motherfucker, we live in uncertain times.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Which game would you erase from your memory, in order to experience it fresh once again?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  That game is too memorable. I tried replaying it a while back after not touching it in 15 years.

  Five minutes in and nope, this whole story is seared into my long term memory and there’s nothing fresh yet.

  I’ll try again when I’m 80.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Wikipedia Says AI Is Causing a Dangerous Decline in Human Visitors⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Half my visits to Wikipedia are because I need to copy and paste a Unicode character and that’s always the highest search result with a page I can easily copy and paste the exact character from.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is Unraid popular in the self-hosting community ?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  They have (had?) a fairly generous free tier that works well for people starting out.

  I ended up buying a license after evaluation because the UI provides everything I reasonably want to do, it’s fundamentally a Linux server so I can change things I need, and it requires virtually zero fucking around to get started and keep running.

  I guess the short answer is: it ticks a lot of boxes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I have no idea what this is about⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  They could have just not had the monkeys. They added nothing to the story and were the most egregiously bad CGI.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You mean there's a better way‽⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Why don’t they teach this shit in school?!?!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Insuranace is a joke⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You can appeal a total loss settlement. They’re supposed to take into account the cost to replace the car at local rates, so unless that 16k model you’re looking at is in dramatically better condition or has way way less mileage on it, they need to justify that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Backup recommendations⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I set up Syncthing using the docker image from the Unraid “store” and it works great.

  I’m not in love with the clients (especially Windows) but it seems to work pretty well once your setup is stable.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How should everything be routed?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  White cables also transmit slower in the dark. As soon as the cabinet is closed the data is going to slow way down with only the dim glow of the LEDs of the equipment acting to accelerate packets.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨paint job⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This reminds me of the red graffiti saga

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨you spin me right round baby right round...⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I wonder what ICD code they used for billing…

  www.healthcaredive.com/news/…/285737/

  I used to work at a company that made software related to this and we always had fun finding ridiculous codes for testing internally. I think there was an actual code defined for someone being hit in the head by a turtle.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨beans 🫘⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The little discussed Pythagorean Wild Conjecture.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  The thing I hate most about rsync is that I always fumble to get the right syntax and flags.

  This is a problem because once it’s working I never have to touch it ever again because it just works and keeping working. There’s not enough time to memorize the usage.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Truly⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I can’t imagine spending so much time and money on games and always looking completely fucking miserable the entire time. They all have the same expression.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨JFC, who did this?!⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  My favourite bit of trivia from that movie was that Stephen King watched it and was furious by the ending because he wished he’d thought of such a grim ending when he wrote the book.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨People who defend Valve Steam Monopoly, should work as anal prostitutes and then donate their profits to Valve.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You could just do anal preorders and never fulfill them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨N. 5⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Someone had a giant blue.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨18% of people running Nextcloud don't know what database they are using⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s how I’d answer if I set something up years ago and it was stable and never required me to come tinker with it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨leading ai company⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah and my company has the best dev team because we resolve all the critical incidents we cause by shipping buggy code.

  Some of these other loser companies don’t even have incidents!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Kirkland strong⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  My company hired him as a keynote speaker for a company all hands event. He talked for about half an hour and then hosted a fake Jeopardy round with some of the staff asking company and city trivia.

  He was charming, gracious, interesting, and funny throughout.

  I hate everything about that company and their leadership, but Ken… Ken was a good decision. An awesome dude.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This is my 1000th comment from the feddit.org server 🥳⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m glad you were able to turn this into a win.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there a selfhosted eBooks app that can do this?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I was running calibre-web and tried running it side by side with calibre-web-automated and it was an absolute breeze. It’s got some really nice features on top of the original. I’d highly recommend giving it a try - it was a surprisingly low bar to get running!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there a selfhosted eBooks app that can do this?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Not sure about comic support, but I think you can get much of that using a combo of Calibre and Calibre-web-automated.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Better Watch Out Eddy⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I dunno, but there’s a guy in prison somewhere in Georgia who’d been trying to make collect calls to talk to them for months. I never got to learn more because the calls always came in super early in the morning when my phone was on silent, so it was always just voicemails.

  This is a facility of the Georgia Bureau of Prisons with a collect call from <insert recorded voice> DWAYNE STABSALOT. Press 2 to accept the connection.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Better Watch Out Eddy⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I hope you mess with them every chance you get.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Y'ALL GOT ANY OF THEM HALLOPINERS⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Exceedingly kind of you to assume they can read a ballot.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Pure Shame⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I noticed a few weeks ago that a lot of people were pooping and taking so much goddamn time in the bathroom. Like, what’s going on?

  Oh, they were sneaking in to write on my birthday card. It’s even a tradition and it was my birthday party but no, my stupid fucking brain decided the logical explanation was that everyone had diarrhea.

  So I guess I’m the reason party guy has to worry.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨toasty⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, that’s right, I ordered the Mount Doom soufflé.
