I'm liking ente for photos at the moment.

immich had too many breaking changes.

AbidanYre ,

There is. It seemed like every time I opened it, either it or the server needed to be updated though.

AbidanYre ,

Advertisers did it to themselves.

Pop ups, pop unders, loud autoplay, focus stealing, taking up ungodly amounts of screen real estate, etc, etc.

640kW should be enough for anyone.

AbidanYre ,

https://www.computerworld.com/article/1563853/the-640k-quote-won-t-go-away-but-did-gates-really-say-it.html

I originally had MW but changed it to be more in line with the supposed original quote.

AbidanYre ,

Even still, there's a difference between losing one AWACS and losing all of them.

AbidanYre ,

Futurama had some jokes based around the commercial break times.

AbidanYre ,

52 million seems high for that timeframe.

AbidanYre , (edited )

Maybe I'm off by a bit then. I could have sworn I had one in like the 500k range but it must have been around '97 or '98.

AbidanYre ,

Pretty sure Koenigsegg does too.

Avoid Virpus VPS

Figured I would hopefully save others from the annoyances I've had with their service. I experienced daily high packet loss to both my VPS and their website, including the control panel (greater than 50%, typically). The control panel was broken and couldn't tell me the status of my VPS. When I asked for a root cause and fix...

AbidanYre ,

Should have used 2549 for the QoS update.

AbidanYre ,

It doesn't seem like end users are the ones demanding AI.

AbidanYre ,

If the sentiment is that common, maybe there's something to it.

AbidanYre ,

I made a generalization based on the abundance of comments from people saying they don't want AI. Your desires may not be the desires of the majority of users.

Or maybe it's just a common fallacy. Like argumentum ad populum.

It's not. Saying a bunch of people don't want something because a bunch of people are saying they don't want it isn't argumentum ad populum. I never made an assessment about whether AI was good or bad.

If you want to argue that Lemmy doesn't represent users at large, or that the people complaining about AI are a loud minority, go for it. But the vast majority of comments on anything AI related seem opposed to it.

AbidanYre ,

Regular automatic updates on ugly spaghetti code feels like it's just asking for trouble.

AbidanYre ,

Navidrome can have multiple users. I don't know that they can each have separate libraries though.

AbidanYre ,

What other oem hides the mechanical latch?

AbidanYre ,

You said other manufacturers fail at "this" referring to the 12v battery dying, but the context here is a child being trapped in a car when that battery fails. If the 12v battery fails on any other car you simply pull the handle and the door opens.

AbidanYre , (edited )

Ok fine, what other manufacturer traps someone inside when the battery fails?

You mentioned the hidden latch on another thread. Should I bring my question over there instead? I may conflated two discussions because you're up and down this post defending Tesla's boneheaded decisions.

AbidanYre , (edited )

I don't know. I don't understand why you're asking me this.

Because this article is about someone being trapped in a car when the battery died, and saying "it's hard to tell when a battery is going to fail" skips over the fundamental problem of being unable to open the door when that happens.

AbidanYre ,

They did

The child was safely removed from the car after firefighters used an ax to smash through a window

We prefer the term freedom units, thank you.

AbidanYre ,

It's like the first sentence, dude.

The VPN was unveiled in October of 2020

AbidanYre ,

According to the article "Pixel VPN by Google" is different. I really don't care to try and keep track though, so who knows.

AbidanYre , (edited )

It was McDonnell and John Oliver had a whole episode about it

AbidanYre ,

I ended up with 8 or 9 VMs that run 8 or 9 dockers. It works great, but it's more to manage.

It's more overhead on the cpu, but it's so easy.

AbidanYre ,

The article has a link to zerowriter

40MHz is plenty for doom.

AbidanYre , (edited )

I had a 386sx@25MHz too and I don't remember it being that slow. Unless that demo has the detail cranked up to high or something like that. Although, like that first commenter I had a math co-processor, so maybe that helped.

Or maybe my memory is off and I made the window tiny.

AbidanYre ,

I think the detail level made a pretty big difference. I definitely ran it in low and kind of forgot that high was an option, but the shotgun animation in that video is bringing up some traumatic memories.

AbidanYre ,

At a certain point that "unusual call volume" is just the standard call volume. They just don't want to hire more support folks.

AbidanYre ,

Have you been to Facebook lately? It's like 90% AI spam of "why don't pictures like this trend" with some body horror Jesus.

Selfhosted alternatives to Goodreads?

So I finally broke down and made a very poor purchasing decision and ordered an e-ink writer to be a notepad/e-reader hybrid. Partially so that it is less of a hassle to read books I got from kickstarters and the like while still using the kindle app for the disturbing amounts of money I throw at Amazon....

Popfile was pretty great. Sadly it was abandoned 8 years ago.

Gay man says Qatar authorities lured him via dating app, planted drugs and subjected him to unfair trial ( www.cbsnews.com )

A British-Mexican man who says he was targeted for being gay and arrested on false drug charges in Qatar has been given a suspended six-month jail sentence, a fine amounting to about $2,700, and a deportation order by a court in the Arab nation, which is a vital U.S. ally in the Middle East, according to his family and Mexican...

AbidanYre ,

If you’re gay or a woman, don’t go to the Middle East.

AbidanYre ,

I wouldn't worry too much about neuralink "driving electrodes into brain tissue." 85% of them retract in a reasonable timeframe.

AbidanYre ,

You're not wrong. But it doesn't seem like anything is going to stop Elon, so gallows humor is all I've got.

AbidanYre ,

That's a lot more civil than the three words I have for him.

AbidanYre ,

Feels less like rich people and more like money laundering.

AbidanYre ,

As long as you didn't hold it wrong.

AbidanYre ,

They exist

I think people say they want them by don't really want them.

AbidanYre ,

Why would you put Alex Jones in there?

AbidanYre ,

Can you give some more details on the errors you're seeing? Grub and docker-compose shouldn't be anywhere near each other.

AbidanYre ,

I think Boebert knows she's likely screwed with the redistricting and is trying to keep her head down.

AbidanYre ,

Not hard enough.
