  • WhatsApp officially names Mullvad and Amnezia VPN as go-to tools for bypassing censorship

    Jump

  • If I weren't pretty convinced of Mullvad, this coming from the company that promoted a VPN to spy on people would make me immediately suspicious. Fuck you, Mark! You'll never be a real human.

  • Hey there, fella! If the findings confirm my biases, sample size is irrelevant. Science has spoken! /s

  • Samsung Galaxy update removes Android recovery menu tools, including sideloading

    Jump

  • For anyone wondering: this is about sideloading system updates, not apps. So don't get your knickers in a twist. (That kind of fuckery will arrive through Google, if they get their will.)

  • Is the Memory Shortage Intentional?

  • I guess that's the point when I'll just go offline for good and learn a solid, old-fashioned trade.

  • Agreed. Reading this, or trying to, I was switching back and forth between "this is missing information" and "why provide this additional explanation?" The target audience isn't clear. Either go for the technical deep dive or provide a much higher-level explanation of what happened. Not this... mess in between.

  • MSI's $80 AMD motherboards with DDR4 support swoop in to rescue gamers amid the global RAM crisis

  • No joke: I just built a low-end server based on DDR3. Got 32 GB for 40 EUR.

  • Better to use apt-get though. That way you don't even need to bother with the dumpster fire that is Windows 11.

  • They found out the hard way that abuse is only tolerated if you have passed a certain wealth threshold.

  • Is the AI hype still on or have the models plateaued?

    Jump

  • Appreciate the call to reason. Yet, though this may have been sharply worded, insulting it was not.

  • AI Is Destroying Grocery Supply Chains

    Jump

  • This should have many more upvotes. The security incidents quoted at the start of this article have no relation to its actual topic, i.e. the hypothesis that there may be increased fragility of supply chains as a result of AI adoption. While it's plausible this may happen, the article makes it sound like this has happened when it clearly hasn't. In other words: it's little more than "hurr, durr, AI dangerous".

  • AI Is Destroying Grocery Supply Chains

  • Except AI is trash at doing what it's advertised to do, it makes everybody dumber, and its shills will blame you once it inevitably mucks everything up.

    We don't even have "AI". We have LLMs, aka chatbots, aka glorified digital parrots that, just because they're eloquent and sound competent, management with little to no technical expertise feels can replace large parts of the workforce.

    If we just called it "cyberparrots" instead of "AI", maybe more people would their limited utility and the utter folly of having these take over ever larger portions of business procedures.

  • If you've got that experience under your belt, you'll be just fine. I haven't tackled zfs myself yet (I'm lacking the RAM, plus I was put off by the ECC RAM recommendation). But I know it unifies a lot of the things you're already familiar with under one roof (volume management and journaling) and adds more cool features (snapshotting, RAID, encryption, bitrot protection) without you having to combine and manage several different technologies (mdadm for RAID, LVM, LUKS, ...). I did that on my main rig and it turned out to be rather complex. Hence the switch to btrfs to at least squash a bit of complexity.

    If you'd rather continue working with the storage technologies you know and avoid zfs, you may want to look into other OSs than TrueNAS (because that is zfs only). Two I'm running and can recommend are

    • Open Media Vault: great for beginners (friendly, though dated-looking web UI), but Debian-based underneath and hence reasonably flexible if you know your way around the CLI, which you probably will. Case in point: mine is no longer just used as a NAS, but runs somewhere between 10-20 Docker containers, and I rarely touch the webUI these days.
    • Proxmox: You mentioned VMs, so you're probably familiar with this one. I like its flexibility, allowing me to run each VM tailored to its purpose: a NAS VM for network shares, a hardened, minimal VM for publicly available services and Wireguard access into the network, an LXC as a local DNS server...
