  • Out of all the things this administration has done, this one almost seems somewhat logical.

    I can understand not having a RealID or passport, since both are mainly for travel. Not everyone has a need or desire to travel.

    Section D says a government-issued ID and proof of citizenship is okay. Doesn't everyone at least have a state ID (probably a drivers license) and a birth certificate?

  • This is also true of Jellyfin, though. I have apps on my Windows PC, my Android phone, multiple Nvidia Shield boxes on my TVs, plus the web interface if I need it.

    I switched over from Plex several years ago, and while it takes a bit more time to configure, compatibility for clients seems just as good for Jellyfin as it is for Plex.

    Most importantly, Jellyfin is strictly client/server, no "cloud" bullshit and no remote account is required; I don't want Plex phoning home with a list of the media on my file server.

  • I believe you're correct. I didn't realize that I had my containers set to privileged. That would explain why I've never had issues with mounting shares.

  • I'm sorry, I think I gave you bad information. I have my containers set to unprivileged=no. I forgot about the "double negative" in how that flag was described.

    So apparently my containers are privileged, so I don't think I've ever tried to do what you are doing.

  • I'm leaving this here for continuity, but don't follow what I said here. I have my containers set as privileged. I was wrong.

    I have a server that runs Proxmox and a server that runs TrueNAS, so a very similar setup to yours. As long as your LXC is tied to a network adapter that has access to your file server (it almost certainly is unless you're using multiple NICs and/or VLANs), you should be able to mount shares inside your LXC just like you do on any other Linux machine.

    Can you ping your fileserver from inside the container? If so, then the issue is with the configuration in the container itself. Privileged or unprivileged shouldn't matter here. How are you trying to mount the CIFS share?

    Edit: I see that you're mounting the share in Proxmox and mapping it to your container. You don't need to do this. Just mount it in the container itself.

  • I feel like the vast majority of people just want to log onto Chat GPT and ask their questions, not host an open source LLM themselves. I suppose other organizations could host Deepseek, though.

    Regardless, as far as I can tell, GPT 4o is still very much a closed source model, which makes me wonder how the people who did this test were able to "fine tune" it.

  • They say they did this by "finetuning GPT 4o." How is that even possible? Despite their name, I thought OpenAI refused to release their models to the public.

  • I'm not understanding. You were trapped in grocery stores all weekend as a child, and you weren't allowed to sleep? How exactly does that work?

  • "Isn't well liked" is quite the understatement. "Despised" is more like it. I actually like the way the cybertruck looks, I think the technology is interesting, and if I really wanted to, I could probably afford one.

    I wouldn't drive one if it was given to me for free. I'd rather take a taxi every day than drive a public display of support for the treasonous fascist manchild that owns the company.

    Tesla's second biggest problem is their shit standards and quality control. Their first biggest problem is their shit corporate leadership.

  • I'm fairly certain the entire article was. Even if it didn't sound exactly like a ChatGPT response, don't tech reviews normally have the name of the author SOMEWHERE on the page?

  • Ebay might be owned by PayPal, but you are buying from real actual people. I've bought a lot of corporate surplus server equipment on Ebay. It's not coming from a random supplier in China or a giant warehouse in the US. Most of my money (minus listing fees) is going to a small business that refurbishes old equipment.

    I have bought equipment on Ebay and driven to a small recycling company one city over to pick it up in person.

  • Here's an idea: Save your photos on your phone or computer. Back them up periodically. Send them over SMS or email to your friends and family if you think they're worth sharing. Stop relying on social media to give the the dopamine rush that you could be getting by actually doing something useful.

  • This may be going off on a tangent, but it seems appropriate here. I am sick and tired of hearing about every little minutia of clickbait bullshit related to Trump. If Musk wants to buy and tank TikTok, great. I don't give a fuck one way or another. Trump isn't buying TikTok, and I truly don't give a shit what his opinion is on it.

    I want to stay aware of current events in my country. If the president signs an executive order, I want to hear about it. I don't want to hear about what his friends are doing. I couldn't care less who made his wife's hat. I'd rather watch paint dry than a video of him and his wife dancing. I hate that I know he consumes McDonald's slop and Diet Coke in the oval office.

    People argue about how news outlets are biased right or left. The real problem is that news outlets are just entertainment outlets, and not legitimate journalism. I don't care if you're reading Fox News or CNN; you're still going to wade through a river of worthless celebrity worship before you actually find something of substance. Scroll down far enough, and you won't be reading about Trump any more. Instead, you'll be reading about which actors are fucking each other and the latest and "this year's hottest budget-friendly Temu styles that are now made of only slightly toxic synthetic fibers." If you're lucky, you might find an article about how some random nobody met another random nobody on vacation and got married. Good for them. I'm glad they're happy. I still don't give a shit.

  • Technology exists to keep all your personal data exceptionally secure. Modern encryption is incredibly difficult to break (impossible really).

    Humans are fundamentally insecure. Any time you read about a data leak, it's because somebody stupidly opened an attachment or fell for a scam. Any time someone gets "hacked," they didn't. They gave away their information. Human error and a lack of education are the problems.

  • Private entities have the right to decide what is or is not acceptable content on their platforms. Consumers also have the right to choose which services they want to use.

    I encourage everyone to stop using anything involved with Meta. I personally have a list of Meta domains blocked on my home network.

    If enough people did this, the problem would resolve itself.

  • I completely understand what you're saying; in general, I tend to agree that if a firmware update is available, it's best to install it. I keep the firmware up to date on all my networking equipment, and the first thing I do when I set up a new PC is install Windows updates (or apt-get update in Linux).

    I have two TVs. One in the living room, and one in the bedroom. After the brief time I had my bedroom TV connected to my network, it immediately started serving me advertisements. I hate ads with a passion. When it comes to network security, privacy probably comes second to blocking ads in terms of priority. When it came time to replace my living room TV, I first tried to repair it, but after spending too much on a replacement mainboard that didn't do shit, I just bought a new TV. There was no way in hell I was letting it connect to the internet and download advertisements.

    I have an extensive Zigbee network for home automation, 10GB fiber links between my servers and my home office, etc. My home is very much "connected." TVs are just one of those things that I will never, ever, under any circumstances, allow to connect to anything other than a video cable. If I'm paying $1000 or more for a device, I'll be damned if it's going to show me advertisements.

  • I use my TV as basically just a dumb display panel. If it can display 4k/60, then there is no bug that needs to be fixed. I don't even use built-in audio.

    I connected my other TV to my network once when my Nvidia Shield wasn't working. That TV is still showing advertisements in the main menu for shows that were released 3 years ago.

  • I'm in this same situation and at least for me, no, not even once for a firmware update.

    If the TV is displaying the image that's coming from whatever input source I'm using, then the firmware is already just fine.

  • I have absolutely zero interest in participating in any kind of social media that isn't an "anonymous forum." I have no interest in following particular individuals; I'm really only interested in having discussions with random internet users that share common interests. I used PhpBB instances, IRC, and before that BBS systems, and I'm really just looking for the same kind of experience.

    So I will never use Mastodon; I think it's a fantastic alternative to Xitter, but the format just doesn't interest me in the slightest.
