  • How I self-host my ebooks and audiobooks

    Jump

  • Yea, I have the VNC virtual docker hack running and it’s annoying. The weird UI is even worse because the virtual desktop doesn’t map properly and dialogs become full screen affairs etc.

    I’m trying to use it as little as possible 😅

  • Need to look into your ebook flow.

    I… dislike Calibre because of the “unique” UI setup and the fact that it’s next to impossible to self-host on a NAS.

    But sadly it has every feature ever, which makes it essential and irreplaceable.

  • “For thousands” is a fucking rounding error in services with about a billion accounts and DAU in hundreds of millions.

  • Big household name gaming companies have devs who burn 20k in tokens A MONTH.

    A 50k machine that can run a model locally with 0 monthly costs will pay for itself in 3 months.

  • Have you tried running a local model on a M series Mac?

  • What’s your favorite “bad” movie?

  • Can’t be, it has Willem Dafoe chewing the scenery

  • Anthropic disables top-tier AI models after US order limiting foreign access

  • Not just a website, how can a company prove that a “non-American” isn’t using an API?

  • Meta Removes Face-Recognition System From Its Smart Glasses, Is Mad About it

    Jump

  • Yes.

    Unless someone phyiscally breaks into my house and steals my server. Which would require a very targeted attack which again is WAAY out of scope in my (and everyone else’s) threat model

  • Meta Removes Face-Recognition System From Its Smart Glasses, Is Mad About it

    Jump

  • It’s not about being nice. It’s about me knowing where my data is.

    Jump

  • Of course it is. But if I do it locally it’s just me, not some megacorps wage slaves looking at the data.

    Mostly my nerd brain would like to go “what is this plant” or “overlay all planes overhead to my screen” 😀

  • But I want a camera and a microphone.

    I just want to use my own hardware to analyse whatever they’re recording.

  • Why can’t a company do smart glasses with self-hostable or fully local processing?

    I’d love a pair but fuck streaming everything I see to a random dude in Nigeria

  • GOV.UK goes Dutch on payments as it dumps Stripe

    Jump

  • Right wing people are really bad at second and third order effects. All they care about is the immediate.

  • Telegram is lying to you about privacy

    Jump

  • Signal has bit me already. Every single *Claw supports Signal bots, which pretend to be actual people.

    Telegram has explicit first party bot support, a bot is always a bot and identified as such

  • Telegram is lying to you about privacy

    Jump

  • People criticising Telegram have no idea how big some of the channels there are. They’re stupid big. Like full ass Discord server but with one channel big.

    That needs automated moderation tools - bots as well as built in tools to manage lager groups.

    Signal doesn’t do that at all. It’s a good replacement for group texts, not communities.

    And for me personally: missing first party bot support makes it a complete non-starter.

  • For most US drivers, electric vehicles offer emissions benefits and cost savings, according to a new study by MIT researchers

  • The engine has one moving part and doesn’t need re-lubrication every year. Makes shit a lot simpler.

  • Weird how that works

    Jump

  • How bad is the American power grid?

    You guys seriously need to let the wires cool down?

    Meanwhile here every house built in the last half century gets 3x230V three phase service with 3x25A main fuses at minimum and can go up to 50A. And that’s just normal residential stuff.

  • Signal still doesn’t support bots and is shit for bigger groups

    Good for 1-10 friends and 1on1 chats tho
