  • It would be interesting if the ring ever made its way onto DS9 and into Quark's hands. Everyone would wonder why he's obsessing about a ring made of worthless gold.

  • I think this is probably more a copy of various East Asian social media services than anything Reddit-like. Pretty sure TikTok and a bunch of Chinese video streaming services already do this. I think the whole Money -> Gifts -> Rubies -> Money chain is intended to dance around money laundering legislation. The same way that Pachinko machines aren't technically considered gambling in Japan.

  • Absurd AI Slop About How Elon Musk Will Fix America Is Megaviral on Facebook

    Jump

  • The problem isn't just that people are making AI slop: It's also a problem that Zuck has seen the engagement that this trash generates and realized that it's good for Meta's metrics. They're never going to do anything to stop it if the alternative is that investors might realize that Facebook is a rotten log.

  • Add a discrete GPU or not?

  • Migrate Docker Containers from VM to NFS Share?

    Jump

  • If you want to move your containers to a different location, look into configuring docker's data-root: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/24309526/how-to-change-the-docker-image-installation-directory

    You copy /var/lib/docker to a new location and update /etc/docker/daemon.json

    I will say: Moving data-root to an NFS mount isn't going to work well. I've tried it, and docker containers rely on filesystem features to run their overlays. On an NFS, this feature isn't present, so your services will duplicate the container's entire filesystem. This will tank your performance and is basically unusable for anything but trivial examples. Docker data-root basically needs to be a "physical" disk.

    I've had no issues using NFS shares mounted as docker volumes. It's just the data-root where it'll fail.

  • Some docker containers need manual start after host reboot

    Jump

  • Yep, the problem was that docker started before the NFS mount. Adding the dependency to my systemd docker unit did the trick!

  • How annoying is it to connect to VPN/use Tailscale instead of being able to access the service directly?

    Jump

  • isn’t it an annoyance having to connect to your home network all the time?

    It's less annoying than the gnawing fear that my network might be an easy target for attackers.

  • Linus Torvalds Comments On The Russian Linux Maintainers Being Delisted

    Jump

  • So many bad-faith arguments being made about this.

    Independent of any arguments about who asked for this to happen and why: A free software project always has the right to choose which contributors it trusts and which it doesn't. I've seen no evidence that these people are banned from submitting patches due to their nationality. They've been remove from a particular role in the project due to political reasons. An organization is an inherently political entity.

    Remember when codes of conduct destroyed all of free software and nothing ever got built again? Me neither. It's the same thing.

  • Which scene in a movie/series do you think didn't make any sense to the plot ?

    Jump

  • Maybe not for the plot (since it's never referenced or brought up ever again in the film) but I think it does work thematically:

    This would be the one real miraculous event in Brian's life. If anything, you would expect that a man who fell from a tower, got picked up by a flaming ball, and returned safely to the ground would be hailed as a holy person by all witnesses.

    Instead, nobody gives a fuck and in the next couple of scenes Brian becomes a holy figure through entirely unrelated and mundane means.

  • What's an aspect of life that's currently done privately that you think should be communalized?

    Jump

  • Especially gardening tools.

    Why does every fucking house in our neighborhood need its own lawnmower, weedwacker, and hedge trimmer? You only need it for an hour or two every month.

  • Miss me with that low bitrate

    Jump

  • Actually, amateur TV broadcast was something that interested me. I had the opportunity to buy an SDR with wider bandwidth, but I wasn't sure how much I'd get into it, so I kept things cheap.

    Another thing I'm looking into is ADS-B flight tracking. My house is within range of a sports arena where there are all manner of overhead banners get flown. Might be fun to follow them around on a map.

  • Miss me with that low bitrate

    Jump

  • If you post on !amateur_radio@sh.itjust.works, I'd read.

    I bought a cheap RTL-SDR to help solve a CTF challenge at DEFCON. The 2m/70cm antenna on my roof is begging for a fun project that's not just talking to other hams.

  • Some hardware talk

    Jump

  • As someone who has owned enterprise servers for self-hosting, I agree with the previous comment that you should avoid owning one if you can. They might be cheap, but your longterm ownership costs are going to be higher. That's because as the server breaks down, you'll be competing with other people for a dwindling supply of compatible parts. Unlike consumer PCs, server hardware is incredibly vendor locked. Hell, my last Proliant would keep the fans ramped at 100% because I installed a HDD that the BIOS didn't like. This was after I spent weeks tracking down a disk that would at least be recognized, and the only drives I could find were already heavily used.

    My latest server is built with consumer parts fit into a 2U rack case, and I sleep so much easier knowing I can replace any of the parts myself with brand new alternatives.

    Plus as others have said, a 1U can be really loud. I don't care about the sound of my gaming computer, but that poweredge was so obnoxious that despite being in the basement, I had to smother it with blankets just so the fans didn't annoy me when I was watching TV upstairs. I still have a 1U Dell Poweredge, but I specifically sought out the generation that still let you hack the fan speeds in IPMI. From all my research, no such hack exists for the Proliant line.

  • I'd recommend BTRFS in RAID1 over hardware or mdadm raid. You get FS snapshotting as a feature, which would be nice before running a system update.

    For disk drives, I'd recommend new if you can afford them. You should look into shucking: It's where you buy an external drive and then remove (shuck) the HDD from inside. You can get enterprise grade disks for cheaper than buying that same disk on its own. The website https://shucks.top tracks the price of various disk drives, letting you know when there are good deals.

  • Sorry, what's .Net again?

    The runtime? You mean .Net, or .Net Core, or .Net Framework? Oh, you mean a web framework in .Net. Was that Asp.Net or AspNetcore?

    Remind me why we let the "Can't call it Windows 9" company design our enterprise language?

  • Leica camera has built-in defense against misleading AI, costs $9,125

    Jump

  • I think that's not the problem that this technology is intended to solve.

    It's not a "Is this picture copied from someone else?" technology. It's a "Did a human take this picture, and did anyone modify it?" technology.

    Eg: Photographer Bob takes a picture of Famous Fiona driving her camaro and posts it online with this metadata. Attacker Andy uses photo editing tools to make it look like Fiona just ran over a child. Maybe his skills are so good that the edits are undetectable.

    Andy has two choices: Strip the metadata, or keep it.

    If Andy keeps the metadata, anyone looking at his image can see that it was originally taken by Bob, and that Fiona never ran over a child.

    If Andy strips the metadata (and if this technology is widely accessible and accepted by social media, news sites, and everyday people) then anyone looking at the image can say "You can't prove this image was actually taken. Without further evidence I must assume that it's faked".

    I think spinning this as a tool to fight AI is just clickbait because AI is hot in the news. It's about provenance and limiting misinformation.
