  • what's the craziest weather you've experienced?

    Jump

  • Here’s what San Francisco looked like in 2018 when there was a lot of smoke from California wildfires blowing in:

    People were voluntarily wearing N95s when this happened so I know people complaining about them during the pandemic were bullshitting.

  • Does anyone else find 'pseudoanimation' annoying?

    Jump

  • People don’t stand perfectly still. It’s exaggerated in the animation, but it’s done to make them seem alive.

  • Dozens of engineers laid off at Apple headquarters

    Jump

  • I really liked the “I Expect you to Die” series. Basically VR escape rooms.

  • Deleted Locked

    Finally moved family off Google Photos to Immich on a closet Optiplex 7040 — almost lost a month of kid photos in January

    Jump

  • I have my Immich instance setup with an nginx proxy for security and ssl, and that’s exposed to the internet. I have a domain for my personal website, so I just put up my Immich instance at a subdomain of that. I can now make public share links I can just copy and paste into a group chat. I haven’t added any other users yet but I’d I wanted to all they’d need to do is login via email/password.

    This is an officially supported kind of setup for Immich, so I would consider it secure: https://docs.immich.app/administration/reverse-proxy/

    I don’t have all of my homelab services exposed publicly though; I VPN in for those.

    General tips for exposing a server to the internet:

    • only expose the ports you need for services you intend to be accessible. Use a firewall and/or your router’s port forwarding settings to enable only what you need, with blocking as a default.
    • update all software regularly
    • only expose programs that are built to be exposed. For example, if you make a Flask website, they will warn you several times not to expose it directly, but to proxy it through something like nginx

  • Weren’t the extra graphics from the remaster update an optional setting?

  • Difference between $230 and $80B

    Jump

  • That’s the worst rendering of la Sagrada Família I’ve ever seen

  • 80% of developers find AI coding more addictive than helpful

    Jump

  • I keep having the issue where I ask AI to do one small but tedious task, e.g. a refactor, and it sloppifies the rest of the code while it’s at it

  • Like what you like

    Jump

  • It’s a long CGI tech demo, similar to Avatar (the blue people one)

  • Rising Temperatures Are Threatening Italy’s Bank Reserves—Because They’re Made of Parmesan Cheese

    Jump

  • Honestly storing cheese in space makes more sense than putting data centers in space

  • Anti-AI fonts are useless and harmful

    Jump

  • I read Þ as a p out of spite

  • Fairphone Is Finally Selling Its Repairable Phone in the US

    Jump

  • I’ve had several 3.5mm jacks fail. I’ve yet to have a USBC port fail, but I’ve also had fewer USBC ports and for fewer years.

  • California just passed a law forcing mandatory DRM in 3D printers

    Jump

  • We should pass a law that all knives have to know what purpose they are being used for and should refuse to be used for stabbing or otherwise hurting people.

  • Firefox is now the last major browser that still supports uBlock Origin

    Jump

  • A few years ago they made some changes to how extensions work (iirc it was supposedly aimed at improving privacy by restricting what extensions can access).

    These days I use a paid iOS/macOS specific ad block app. It was like $3 one time purchase and it works great.

  • Favorite Killing Nazis Movie?

    Jump

  • Indiana Jones

  • Google shuts down its Nobel-prize winning AlphaFold project as it focuses on Gemini

    Jump

  • Gemini is a completely different project.

    The term “AI” is rather overloaded these days.

    AlphaFold uses a combination of machine learning and physics simulations to predict the shape of a protein given its chemical formula.

    Gemini is a Large Language Model which uses machine learning to predict text completion.

    They both use “machine learning” but the machine learning models are wildly different. Machine learning is a technique that’s basically a fancy curve fitting approach. The curve AlphaFold is trained to mimic maps chemical formulas to shapes, while the curve Gemini mimics maps a text input to probabilities for predictions of the next letter(s).

  • The long lived ones are. Tiny black holes don’t last that long (on a cosmological scale) as shown in the graph.

  • xkcd #3283: Size and Lifespan

    Jump

  • Kg is mass

  • My phone detects going on a run as "someone snatching my phone and running off"

    Jump

  • When I go visit family I inevitably get the “an unknown AirPods has been traveling with you” notification. It’s my brothers in his pocket, we’ve just been on vacation together the past few days.

  • Maybe a better Threadiverse Major Defederations Graph?

    Jump

  • Specifically the 2 instances that everybody blocks, and it’s mostly fans of those two instances that complain about it.
