  • Elon Musk just offered to buy OpenAI for $97.4 billion

    Jump

  • Regular users can use Gemini, Deepseek, Meta AI, and there will probably be many more services in the future.

  • Homelab upgrade - "Modern" alternatives to NFS, SSHFS?

    Jump

  • NFS gives me the best performance. I've tried GlusterFS (not at home, for work), and it was kind of a pain to set up and maintain.

  • DAE feel a bit out of the pop culture loop using Lemmy as their primary social media?

    Jump

  • You can always create posts in appropriate communities to start conversations on topics you're interested in. Be the change you wish to see in the world.

    I don't care much for most pop culture stuff and get enough by happenstance from other sources/people.

  • Legal experts warn of 'constitutional crisis' as JD Vance and Elon Musk question judges' authority over Trump

    Jump

  • Ideally, the Dems should've pushed the security out of the way and physically removed the DOGE team and their hardware and software. Instead they performatively argued with a single private security guy blocking the doors. The Dems are already capitulating talking about letting the "blue dogs" vote with the GOP.

    I'd like to see a large amount of Dems in congress and in other high positions to take direct action, get arrested, and jailed. I think this would force hard conversations in the media about what's going on, and courts and judges to more or less definitively rule.

  • How do you keep up?

    Jump

  • If it works, I don't update unless I'm bored or something. I also spread things out on multiple machines, so there's less chance of stuff happening like you describe with the charts feature going away. My NAS is pretty much just a NAS now.

    You can probably backup your configs/data, upgrade, then deploy jellyfin again, restore, and reconfigure. You should probably backup your data on your ZFS pool. But, I recently updated to the latest TrueNas Scale from ~5 year old FreeBSD version of TrueNas and the pools still worked fine (none of the "apps" or jails worked, obviously). The upgrade process even ported my service configurations over. I didn't care about much of the data in the pools, so only backed up the most important stuff.

  • Billionaire Musk bought control of US government and conspiracy theorists sure are quiet | Opinion

    Jump

  • Exactly. (And foreign states who align with the US far-right)

  • NAS Hardware selection

    Jump

  • I personally use a dual core pentium with 16GB of RAM. When I first installed TrueNas (FreeNas back then), I only had 8GB of RAM, but that proved to be not enough to run all the services I wanted, so I would suggest 12-16GB. Depending on the services you want to run any multi-core x86 CPU that allows 16GB of RAM to be used should be adequate. I believe TrueNas recommends ECC RAM, but I don't think using consumer grade RAM and hardware has caused me any problems. I'm also using an old SSD for the system drive, which I is recommended now (I used to use 2 mirrored USB thumb drives, buy that's not recommended anymore). Very importantly, make sure the HDD(s) you get are not shingled drives; made that mistake initially, and performance was ridiculously bad.

  • Easy guide for using a roundabout

    Jump

  • Yeah. If you're a minor you have to take Drivers Ed that requires a couple hours of driving with an instructor. If you're an adult, you can just take the written and driving test. I think I just drove around the block, and did a reverse parking test for my driving test. Depending on where you live, roundabouts are not common here. I don't think I saw one IRL until I was in my late 20s when I moved to a different state.

  • Elon Musk installs illegal server to seize all federal workers’ data

    Jump

  • There was a rightward shift nearly everywhere. Although I do think there was some shenanigans going on in some places (I'm no expert, but this looks like a legitimate indication of tampering: https://electiontruthalliance.org/clark-county%2C-nv), Trump would've won regardless.

  • Google Pixel 4a’s ruinous “Battery Performance” update is a bewildering mess

    Jump

  • Yeah, I was disappointment when I bought a very expensive Galaxy S22 to replace my old Moto G whose charging port wore out,. The S22 had worse battery life, camera, and no noticeable performance improvements. Recently, my S22 stopped charging, and I just bought a "Mint"-grade used Pixel 6 and installed GrapheneOS on it. Happy so far, and it's nice to be able to block network access to all apps, including Google's.

  • We're RIGHT HERE :(

    Jump

  • Some people's aversion of algorithms on the fediverse kind of reminds me of people's aversion of GMO food. Genetically modifying rice to contain more vitamin D is probably good; genetically modifying vegetables to contain more cyanide would probably be bad. Algorithms don't have to be built to maximize "engagement;" they can be designed to maximize other metrics, or balance multiple metrics, or be user-customizable.

    IMO, Mastadon is much worse off for their refusal to implement any kind of algorithm outside their "explore" feed. When I tried using Mastodon, search was unhelpfully in chronological order, and my home feed just got overtaken by the people that post the most. In contrast, Lemmy's handling of algorithms is pretty good, imo.

    As bad as search engines are now, they'd be even worse if they just gave you results in chronological order.

  • Am I crazy in thinking that bash is good enough for production?

    Jump

  • It's ok for very small scripts that are easy to reason through. I've used it extensively in CI/CD, just because we were using Jenkins for that and it was the path of least resistance. I do not like the language though.

  • Supreme Court leans toward upholding law that could ban TikTok

    Jump

  • I'm curious if ByteDance could just create a new legal entity and call it TikTak or something.

    Idaho Legislature's first order of business: overturning same-sex marriage

  • Ehy, why do you program?

    Jump

  • Worked manual jobs (assembly line) right out of highschool (well fast food during highschool too), and absolutely hated how boring it was to me. I'm not a social person, and used to have really bad social anxiety. I've always had an interest in computers, for whatever reason, so after a few years of manual labor, decided to go to college for that. Also, I lived in a very depressed area, and the jobs I had were very low paying, to the point I couldn't afford to move out from my parents, so something had to change.

    Anyways, I made the right choice, because I'm pretty good at what I do, and I love encountering and solving difficult problems.

    While in college, I did work at a metal fab shop for a summer, and I could've totally seen myself doing that as well. It wasn't mind-numbing like assembly line work, did involve problem solving, and the tools and machines were "cool."

  • Anyone else here self-hosting on absolutely shit hardware?

    Jump

  • Oldest I got is limited to 16GB (excluding rPis). My main desktop is limited to 32GB which is annoying, because I sometimes need more. But, I have a home server with 128GB of RAM that I can use when it's not doing other stuff. I once needed more than 128GB of RAM (to run optimizations on a large ONNX model, iirc), so had to spin up an EC2 instance with 512GB of RAM.

  • GOP-controlled N.C. Supreme Court blocks certification of Democrat as winner of close high court race

    Jump

  • Idk about this specific case, but it's probably targeted on demographics. Mail-in votes tend to swing Democrat. People without ID tend to be poor minorities who swing Democrat. Urban areas swing Democrat. The parties put tons of research into profiling demographics, so they can supress votes and do stuff like this.

  • Donald Trump Says Gulf of Mexico Will Now Be Called 'Gulf of America.' Congress Is Already Prepping Legislation

    Jump

  • Yeah, that's what I've been thinking since his speech. I'm thinking the people he's surrounded with are encouraging his non-sensical ramblings so they can replace him with Vance, who is a Thiel/billionaire puppet, and likely more predictable and reliable than Trump.

  • How am i supposed to learn C# ?

    Jump

  • I learned it because I had to write a WPF desktop application, so you could start with WPF tutorials. I was already very familiar with Java, which is very similar, so it wasn't too hard. Last time I used it was in Unity. You might want to find a good free online course for C# to get a good grasp of C#/Java's style of OOP, design patterns, and all that kind of stuff.
