I'm not alone! My local coffee stand baristas have an insane memory and know all of the regulars by name. I could never have that kind of memory (likely attributed to decades of smoking the devil's lettuce)
The thing is, those things you listed can be found in many other places that aren't Texas, at least in the US. I'd rather live in those places rather than Texas.
I personally use harbor freight steel ammo cans for almost all of my lithium batteries at this point, except for my active phone (which is not a pixel 6a)
I had the pleasure of using some at Sennheiser's booth at CES a few years back. They sound VERY nice, but I don't think they're worth $59k. Maybe 8k or something, although I know a lot of the cost is in the tubes and accessories.
His mood shifted the next day when he found Replit “was lying and being deceptive all day. It kept covering up bugs and issues by creating fake data, fake reports, and worse of all, lying about our unit test.”
LLMs cannot intentionally "lie" or be "deceptive", they aren't alive. They can, however, be confidently wrong or incorrect (and most often, they are).
"I know vibe coding is fluid and new, and yes, despite Replit itself telling me rolling back wouldn't work here -- it did. But you can't overwrite a production database. And you can't not separate preview and staging and production cleanly. You just can't"
Maybe on this service, you can't, but if you used this to vibe code something that wasn't hosted there? You absolutely fucking can.
“The [AI] safety stuff is more visceral to me after a weekend of vibe hacking,” Lemkin said. I explicitly told it eleven times in ALL CAPS not to do this. I am a little worried about safety now.”
The (wildcard) certs are the same, as it's what caddy is pulling via API. You can either build the cloudflare module into caddy via docker build, or use a prebuilt version. It doesn't create two separate certs for local and remote.
It works really well for me, and is actually the most straight forward way to get valid certs for internal services I've found. Since they're wildcard, my internal domains don't get exposed through certificate authorities.
It's important to also note that RAID (or alternatives such as unRAID) are not backup systems and should not be relied on as such. If you have a severe brownout that fries more than two or three drives at once, for example, you will lose data if you're not backing up.
Nah, as a fellow data hoarder you're 100% correct. I have a couple of dozen disks, and I've had failures from both Seagate and WD, but the Seagates have failed much more often. For the past couple of years, I've only purchased WD for this reason. I'm down to two Seagate drives now.
I feel like many people with a distaste for WD got burned by the consumer drives (especially the WD Greens). WD's DC line is so good though, especially HC530.
Efficiency still matters very much when self hosting. You need to consider power usage (do you have enough amps in your service to power a single GPU? probably. what about 10? probably not) and heat (it's going to make you need to run more A/C in the summer, do you have enough in your service to power an A/C and your massive amount of GPUs? not likely).
Homes are not designed for huge amounts of hardware. I think a lot of self hosters (including my past self) can forget that in their excitement of their hobby. Personally, I'm just fine not running huge models at home. I can get by with models that can run on a single GPU, and even if I had more GPUs in my server, I don't think the results (which would still contain many hallucinations) would be worth the power cost, strain on my A/C, and possible electrical overload.
Yep, disabling it entirely allows for charging when the device is off, but otherwise, it is functionally useless and is disabled at the hardware level.
Yeah, it's one of those things where I was vaguely aware of the hazard, but for some reason wasn't consciously acknowledging it. Since I came to that realization, I've started to gather all of my lithium batteries to take stock and start to get rid of some.
I'm definitely more worried about the batteries I've forgotten about that ended up in boxes or drawers. Another thing to keep me up a night, yay.
Good thing more and more people are choosing cremation these days.
