  • Tried Fedora Silver blue or universalblue spins? Unless you do serious embedded development work (which takes more setup on atomic distros), then I have experienced that it is less work in general in setup and upkeep.

  • It is literally a cloudflare tunnel/ tailscale type thing but contained in the app. The only real difference is that it is bundled in the app, so less setup and in exchange, Plex itself is free to harvest all of your data.

  • I am far and away not an AI enthusiast but I don't understand specifically the copyright issue with respect to "trained on x data"

    Because we humans who contribute to FOSS are also generally trained on proprietary data (gaining experience with non-foss systems at companies).

    I get the "who owns it" argument since the person didn't create it.

    Fuck LLMs for drying up groundwater and stealing electricity from families though.

  • Also, accounts. Long promised for community or lowest tier then integrated only in the expensive tier of photoprism IIRC, which made me switch because that only then works for individuals.

  • Except for database versions in 2.7.5->3.0.0

    But one docker compose change and it migrated seamlessly.

  • There are very different rules. Like worlds different.

    Comparing just Belgium and the Netherlands right next to each other. The Netherlands is quite doable if you find a job. Some automatic work visas and then residence based on that depending on origin country

    In Belgium literally no company in the country outside of IMEC and Deloitte will go through the extremely long visa sponsorship program (only digitalized in 2022 IIRC). It is pretty much only possible if you have family or a partner that already lives there. Even people studying there for 3-8 years have a few months to find a job or they are kicked out (in a bad job market compared to other countries also).

  • I don't think Italians could handle a week long game lol.

  • The podcast provider themselves use download IP to dynamically grab ads and push them to your player.

    It tags me wrong for some reason so I get French commercials even though I am in the Flemish part of Belgium.

  • But that is why here in Belgium it is mandated that doors have a minimum gap for ventilation while also keeping the door closed and also outside ventilation

  • Snapmaker seems to be Bambu from a few years ago, promises, good hardware, but all proprietary and as locked down as possible hatdware-wise. I am fairly confident they will follow a similar path even though they have made some software source - available.

  • The only 2 tasks that have been worth automating for me on my phone is time-based volume/vibration switching and VPN turn-on and off when I am on home internet or away.

    No need to steal people's water to do it.

  • Yes, but 90% of ISP supplied modems around the world are modem + router + WiFi access point with a unified firmware.

    You also can't take the antennas off of those and they are required in order to receive internet.

    Yes you can use your own router (I have a Unifi cloud gateway ultra myself and one access point in the middle of the house), but that doesn't mean that disabling the WiFi on the ISP web-software bullshit actually disables the WiFi and doesn't just hide the SSID and make it un-connectable and still use it for this kind of thing and identifying nearby devices.

    It also doesn't mean that all the routers themselves like my Unifi aren't using the access points to do the exact same thing (or will in the future). The only way you can actually control that is with openwrt or similar.

  • Do you think every country has its own router hardware manufacturer and commodity chip manufacturer? 😂

    The 2 giants that make 95% of consumer routers around the world and the few companies that design the chips for them are both in heavy surveillance states.

  • That is just the normally enshittifcation process. Many enshittified companies started as genuinely innovative or decent companies. I mean, they went into ads quite early on and tacking, but other than that...

    They definitely haven't unenshittified.

  • Hell, I find the easiest workflow for me is literally on one computer:

    • scan with skanpage
    • save
    • drag/upload via web UI to paperless server

    Then you automatically have a 2 location backup (and 3 with 1 off site if you have a backup server implemented) and it is very simple for family to pick up.

  • Hollow earth? What sort of new-age conspiracy is that? True believers know the earth is a turtle.

  • Oh no, mullvad started advertising a bit 😱

    Only print ads though IIRC

  • all of it is about the UK except for a very short comparison at the end....

  • Deleted

  • VPNs are to protect you against your ISP, that is about it. I guess sailing the high seas also since fingerprinting doesn't apply as much. Also getting around authoritarian government blocks.

    It is a small piece of the puzzle.

  • Programming @programming.dev

    Can someone sanity check my NOR memory structure for me?
