  • Or, get this, a PWA.

  • Anyone else here self-hosting on absolutely shit hardware?

    Jump

  • Not sure if any of that is helpful for your case but I recommend trying something if you’ve got spare hardware, and see how it goes on dummy data, then blow it away try something else.

    This is good advice, thanks! Pretty much what I'm doing right now. Already tried it with IPFS, and found that it didn't meet my needs. Currently setting up a tahoe-lafs grid to see how it works. Will try out ceph after this.

  • How is ceph working out for you btw? I'm looking into distributed storage solutions rn. My usecase is to have a single unified filesystem/index, but to store the contents of the files on different machines, possibly with redundancy. In particular, I want to be able to upload some files to the cluster and be able to see them (the directory structure and filenames) even when the underlying machine storing their content goes offline. Is that a valid usecase for ceph?

    Interesting how brave stills gets dragged through the mud for this, meanwhile firefox gets to walk free about the looking glass fiasco.

  • Yeah, and it did become the next big thing. So much so that we're still trying to figure out how to escape the overreaching grasp of big data algorithms that control social media networks.

  • Suchir Balaji: OpenAI whistleblower found dead in apartment

    Jump

  • So what whistle did he blow exactly? When I search for "openai whistleblower" all I get are articles about his murder. What info did he leak?

  • Back in middle school, our science teacher decided to make the class do a debate about different types of energy sources in order to learn about their advantages and disadvantages. I was on the pro-nuclear team, and we were wracking our brains trying to come up with a rebuttal to "but what about the waste?" until some madlad basically came up with this great argument:

    We can just dump all of the nuclear waste on Belgium. It will take a really long time before it fills up, and nobody cares about Belgium anyway

    The anti-nuclear team had no good response, and we actually got a point for that argument because we looked up the relevant statistics (nuclear waste output, belgium surface area, etc.) and calculated exactly how long it would take to turn belgium into a radioactive wasteland.

  • Back in the olden days when games were written in assembly and there was barely enough memory for a framebuffer it made sense to tediously optimize games to squeeze every bit of performance out of the limited hardware. Modern consoles are not like that. They have their own operating systems with schedulers, multitasking, and memory allocators, much like a desktop computer. Your claim that "way more stuff is running at the same time" is only true if the PC user deliberately decides to keep other programs running alongside their game (which can be a feature in and of itself -- think recording/streaming, discord, etc.) It is true that while developing for PC you have to take account that different people will have different hardware, but that problem is solved by having a graphics settings menu. Some games can even automatically select the best graphics options that will get the most out of your hardware. What you're describing is a non-problem.

  • I'm gonna get downvoted for this but... gaming consoles.

    Gaming consoles made sense back in the day before home computing took off, and for a while they actually had superior hardware than computers when it came specifically to running games. But nowadays gaming consoles are just locked down user-hostile computers with a subscription service attached. The gaming equivalent of inkjet printers. It's an industry made irrelevant by advancements in technology, propped up by misleading marketing and artificial hype that sadly many people fall for.

  • Now we just have to wait for some startup to pitch "local drivers" as a revolutionary new idea.

    Introducing the most groundbreaking innovation in transportation since the invention of the wheel: Human-Powered Chauffeur Experience (HPCE). Say goodbye to the soulless, algorithm-driven monotony of self-driving cars and hello to the warm, beating heart of a human taxi driver.

    Imagine being whisked away to your destination by a charming, witty, and (mostly) alert individual who can engage in conversation, offer personalized recommendations, and even provide a sympathetic ear when you need it most. Our HPCE drivers are trained in the ancient art of navigation, able to adapt to unexpected road closures, and possess an uncanny ability to find the best route to your favorite coffee shop.

  • There's also Session, a fork of Signal which claims that their decentralised protocol makes it impossible/very difficult for them to harvest metadata, even if they wanted to.Tho I personally can't vouch for how accurate their claims are.

  • "Well known" is so patronizing. It's like OP is saying "yeah, everyone knows about this, what are you, some kind of loser?". Another one of those phrases that immediately discredits whatever allegation is to follow.
