I started having arguments online back on Fidonet and Usenet. I'm too tired to care now.

  • Firefox Will Ship with an "AI Kill Switch" to Completely Disable all AI Features - 9to5Linux

    Jump

  • If all Firefox users donated to Mozilla it could work. Alas, we don't.

    Would you go on a vacation you can’t afford if someone invited you and offered to pay for you?

    Jump

  • Since you were already FWB it's fine. If you hadn't been you would be signing up to be a gigolo.

    Go for it - enjoy.

  • ChatGPT claims to have solved Navier-Stokes problem

    Jump

  • I am the word-best expert

  • Do people actually call their parents by their name (as in First-name basis)? Have you ever done that? Or witnessed someone doing that?

    Jump

  • Stopped using "mom" and "dad" at about the same time as I moved out. Can't really explain exactly why, just seemed like part of growing up amd becoming an independent adult of my own.

    Son wants me to take him to a strip club for his birthday. Thoughts?

    Jump

  • I'd say his motivation is a good reason. Not sure what you mean with "aloof" - I get a bit of a vibe that he and his friends might be a bit autistic? If so, you might want to probe whether strip club was just "a thing he knew about" that would be way out of his normal comfort zone or if it's actually the strip-part that he wants to experience.

  • Are there any uncensored AI assistants?

    Jump

  • I don't think anything is fully uncensored. As for the similar question about least biased I'd say the models from Mistral.

  • 3D printed Linux Mint emblem to cover up the illuminated Apple logo on my ancient MacBook

    Jump

  • Great idea - thanks for sharing!

  • Valve is about to win the console generation

    Jump

  • What markets can't you buy Steamdeck in? (honest question)

  • Why Trump's 50 Year Mortgage Scheme Is an Even Worse Idea Than You Imagined

    Jump

  • No one in the us ever looks at how things work in other countries, right?

    While we don't have the exact same mortgages setup in the EU, it's not in any way uncommon for our house loans to not be realistically paid down during one's life time. Yeah, we indeed refer to it as renting from the banks.

  • What budget friendly GPU for local AI workloads should I aim for?

    Jump

  • Agree, this is exactly what I went with recently in the same situation.

  • What is the most attractive quality in a person that instantly makes them desirable?

    Jump

  • Not easily predictable without being completely random.

  • Aldi just launched its own £16.99 rival to Ring's battery video doorbell – and it's completely subscription-free | TechRadar

    Jump

  • Only cameras I recommend are not consumer priced :/ Axis. You do get full access, can run your own code and offline etc.

  • Aldi just launched its own £16.99 rival to Ring's battery video doorbell – and it's completely subscription-free | TechRadar

    Jump

  • Can't say anything about Ring unfortunately, haven't analyzed them myself :/

  • Aldi just launched its own £16.99 rival to Ring's battery video doorbell – and it's completely subscription-free | TechRadar

    Jump

  • Security researcher here. I'm assuming this to be some low cost chinese easily hacked thing.

  • Aldi just launched its own £16.99 rival to Ring's battery video doorbell – and it's completely subscription-free | TechRadar

    Jump

  • Yes, with fix mounted cameras. You can walk around and record with your phone etc though.

  • How often do you update software on your servers?

    Jump

  • All services are dockerized, updated nightly.

    Server OS runs a kernel-patch service for real time exploit patching.

    All other updates as soon as they appear.

    Yeah, sometimes I'll need to go in a repair - but that's way better than having to clean up after having been exploited due to not keeping up on security patches.

  • Docker Alternative: Podman on Linux

    Jump

  • Serious question: I've been running rootless Docker since it became possible. In what way is it limited compared to using Podman?

  • My open-source project PdfDing is receiving a grant

    Jump

  • I don't think there's anything ActivityPub related here though? Still seems like some great software.

  • How do you work at a job where you fundamentally disagree with the company's ethics?

    Jump

  • I have very fond memories from long discussions with people at our legal department, helping them understand the GPL (and FSF as an organisation) resulting in "the company" changing its view on working with GPL code.
