  • How do I become good at fishing?

    Jump

  • Find some one who is into fishing and have them bring you with. You probably already have a friend. Fishing is mostly a quiet activity, but there is some socal aspects. Someone to show you how is often much better than books or youtube for learning and there is always someone near any fishing hole that will help. Don't ask for their "secret spot", but there are plenty of not secret spots that work just fine. (and secret spots are overrated in general unless the real secret is how you got permission to fish there)

  • Raspberry Pi cuts product returns by 50% by changing up its pin soldering

  • It is very common in manufacturing for removing a process step to save a large pile of money even if more human labor is needed.

    As others have already implied there is always the possibility for technology to get better and thus the inspections not be needed, or perhaps automating the inspections.

    Accounting is often weird. It makes no intuitive sense why just-in-time should save so much money, but it does.

  • They don't have to replace themselves. If LLMs can do the job (which is an open question) it will be outsiders who use LLMs to replace them.

  • Microsoft CEO says up to 30% of the company's code was written by AI | TechCrunch

  • Every few months I turn it on for a few days just to see if it is better.

    Then I go back to the old AST based autocomplete that actually knows something useful about my code.

  • Coworker responding to chats with AI responses, what do?

    Jump

  • Talk to your manager. There are - or should be - processes in place to monitor AI. Who is allowed to use it, what are they allowed to use it for. It should not be a free for all, it should be we are letting a few people do this to see how/if it works. As such you need to give your feedback on the AI responses to whoever is studying AI for use in your company.

  • What OS should I use for self-hosting that doesn't require extensive terminal knowledge?

    Jump

  • Self hosting will always remain a hobby thing. Most people won't give the time need to properly admin their own system and an improperly admined system is a risk that you don't want to take with your precious data. I can't blame people for not doing this - there are ball games to watch, saw dust to make, kids to raise, and millions of other things to do with your free time such that you cannot do everything you might want to. Sure most people could learn to do this, but it isn't a good use of their time.

    What the world needs is someone trustworthy and cheap enough to handle data for people who have better things to do. Which is why I have fastmail handle my email. I self host a lot of other things though because I don't know of anyone I can trust to do a good job for a reasonable price.

  • Ubuntu has gone downhill a lot in the last decade. I no longer can recommend it. Yes there is a large community, but they make too many questionable decisions and so doing anything "different" will be hard.

  • Not doing back office work is stupid.

    the rest is a good thing as technology would just cost money for no gain. The old ways work. Pen and paper is cheap and it works unlike the expensive advanced gadgets you seen to think are automatitally good without any critical thinking.

  • Most of the big ones have. Oil is still where most of their money comes from, but they often have various wind and solar divisions as well.

  • You can run docker in docker. I do that all the time (but via scripts so I know it does docker in docker, but I don't know how they do that).

    But again, I wasn't even trying to run HA in docker, I was running in a VM container and still the above is refused by default.

  • Intel NUC Homelab - Plex, Immich, Home Assistant

    Jump

  • Maybe, but the documentation says it can't be done.

    note too that I wasn't running docker but instead a vm.

  • Intel NUC Homelab - Plex, Immich, Home Assistant

    Jump

  • https://www.home-assistant.io/installation/ Home assistant container - the version for docker - doesn't support add-ons. If you go through a lot of effort you can make it work, but you won't get help. (easiest is to install some linux in the docker and then home assistant supervised on top of that)

    There is no reason HAOS couldn't run just fine in a container (qemu not docker), but they intentionally detect that and break it (I tried, I probably could make it work but I don't have that much time)

  • Intel NUC Homelab - Plex, Immich, Home Assistant

    Jump

  • Home Assistant insists that it must run on bare metal hardware and will not work well. This is a purely artificial limitation that home assistant puts on you. You can work around it with a lot of effort, or the limitations might not matter to you, but it is a limit to be aware of. I personally went to OpenHAB instead, but YMMV.

  • Since you have Proxmox why would you switch? If you don't like it, then by all means, there are lots of other options. However there is a good reason Proxmox comes up a lot. (I don't personally use Proxmox so I don't know those reasons, but the people who recommend it give every indication they are smart people who understand the problem and so I trust them enough to say it is a good option)

    Best is a subjective question. There is no objective way to say what is best. We can argue about pros and cons. We can argue about what we prefer. However that is all subjective and there is no one best answer.

  • Fossil fuels fall below 50% of US electricity for the first month on record

  • The EU sends far less freight over rail than the US.

    Trucks have limitations, but their door to door ability it a nice win for some applications. Trucks are not that much less efficient than trains when you account for door to door and differences in freight types.

  • As an American I've never heard of a place so dangerous that things get stolen from the back at a traffic light. I know carpenters who leave all their tools in the back when they go to bed and never have a problem. Maybe you need to clean up the crime problem in your country. There are pros and cons to a van vs truck. That you come in on one side does not make the other side wrong, it just means you have lack of vision to understand theirs.

    Have you ever tried to rent a truck? I know many people who tried and discovered the place was all out that day. Then when you find one read the fine print - often you cannot haul your fridge in one. Mean while because I own my truck it is there when I need to do something, no thinking required.

  • A small block V8 weights 680lbs. While there are larger engines, that is still a big engine, most cars have much lighter engines. Transmissions have some weight too, So do electric motors.

  • Vehicles are expensive. Having one for each need is expensive. Renting is expensive (and renting typically comes with no using it as a truck restrictions). If you need a bed for 2% of trips it is often far cheap to own and drive a truck for everything. Particularly if you can use the bike for a lot of trips that makes just owning a truck for everything compelling if you must have a car.
