  • TIL the network utility "Ping" was written by a single person in an evening in 1983, and he named it after the sound a submarine sonar makes

    Jump

  • Fun fact, most military ships and submarines use fmcw sonar, that doesn't really ping in the same way.

    What do you call this type of scifi? Could you also recommend some fiction with this vibe?

  • I've had revelation space sitting on my pile for a little bit now, just have to finish a billion stormlight books first

  • Yeah consider phlebas is good with context but it isn't really a "culture" novel in the way that the others are. I think my favourites are excession and matter but the others are good too.

  • What do you know of something like this?

    Jump

  • I wouldn't say it's "conduiting" or whatever. I visualise stuff and then take a whole pile of steps to turn that into something. Sometimes it's like an epiphany but I'm not of the belief that it's something just being inserted into my mind.

  • 400+ Arch Linux AUR Packages Compromised in a Supply Chain Attack Deploying Infostealers

  • Yeah I had a mild panic before realising that I haven't actually used aur for anything yet

  • Cars are like horses: people will soon realise EVs are just better, claims VW boss

  • Id3 is actually nice to drive though, the range is reasonable and the features it has are polished. It's also funny being able to keep pace with the people who think noisy car means power.

  • Well the infrastructure is getting pretty good. A few years back yeah it wasn't great but there's been a ton of buildup. I haven't had issues of being far from a reasonably high speed charger in any trips I've made in the last 3 years or so.

  • Microsoft Wants to 'Make People Addicted' to its New AI Assistant, Internal Documents Reveal

  • I've just started messing around with cachy after using mint for a month and a bit, honestly kinda liking it with KDE over mint now.

  • Women in Brussels 'filmed without their knowledge' by men wearing Meta smart glasses

  • Most countries don't have laws against recording public areas though, and generally as long as it's not for commercial use even the ones that do haven't set a precedent against it. The problem is when people are being recorded in compromising situations and in those cases it's usually illegal.

  • Question: What are some alternatives to a Raspberry Pi good for a small home server?

    Jump

  • Yeah I grabbed a... Mele quieter or something back in November to replace the noisy greenpower thing I'd had for about 2 years and I got a bit more back than what I spent on it, looking at the mele tiny pc today and it's doubled in price since I got it. So far it's been nice though, passive cooling unlike the noisy fan on the other one.

  • Too real

  • Yeah I unbound the middle mouse thing when I switched, it was annoying

  • Chlorine trifluoride? The best part of that quote is the end imo. It's an amazing oxidizer but it's also hugely impractical to store or work with.

  • Microsoft has an ambitious plan to win users back, and go toe-to-toe with Valve's SteamOS for gaming — but I'm not getting my hopes up

    Jump

  • Yeah the effort and disruption was my main reason for holding off for so long, then I set up a dual boot on my desktop and laptop and honestly after spending a week away with just Linux laptop I didn't have the patience for windows when I got back. So far there's been some fiddling around but a lot of my games have worked fine. No idea about those games but protondb can give an idea.

  • AI may be coming to Windows 11’s Clock app as Microsoft turns it into a focus tool

  • Shit like this is exactly why I'm mostly free of windows now. Sure there's some bits and pieces that I'm keeping just in case but I'm not regularly booting windows for anything now. It's been about a month and besides some minor things it's been nice.

  • I've been using darktable for about a month now, way better than the bank Photoshop raw editing I've been doing in the year or so since I started actual photography.

  • Yeah it's a lot easier to eat less calories than it is to burn off that many. 100 calories is like a bag of crisps or so (depends on what) but 100 calories is also about 10 minutes of running which is a lot more work than just eating less. Not that you shouldn't run but if you're trying to lose weight it has a much bigger impact to stay at a calorie deficit.

  • The photos are incredible

  • Yeah this isn't the big milestone mission but it's nice to see we're actually doing something more tangible than LEO for once in my lifetime.

  • Scientists invented a fake disease. AI told people it was real

    Jump

  • The whole goal of these algorithms is that you put an input in and the output it gives out is as close to the most likely to be correct answer as it can be, training is just repeating that process. We're several years deep into these "most likely" results and sometimes they're pretty close but usually it's not quite there because the only guidance they get is from outside.

  • You aren't? How does that work? As someone terminally excited by space it's hard to comprehend someone not.
