Develop, no. Host, yes. They should buy, own, and operate any technology like this on-prem. The only involvement that 3rd-party tech should have is sales, tech support, and maybe blind, encrypted backups accessible only by the municipality.

You know... you might have some success getting LeaglEagle involved, especially since they'd make money on the attention it would bring. Benn Jordan would probably love to be an expert witness.

I'm just under 40 and thought it was super weird when they bought YouTube. They already had Google Videos, which offered higher quality and was more reliable for me than YouTube, DailyMotion, or Vimeo at the time. Why they didn't

The ad frequency and lack of variety is bad enough, but streaming services have gotten very lazy with choosing when to play them. Sometimes an entire show plays them 5 seconds ahead of the clear fade to black for the break, then plays the f

Or Grayjay. I find it crashes a lot less than the *pipe apps. https://grayjay.app

I prefer Grayjay ( https://grayjay.app ). Hacking existing apps is super weird to me.

I tried several times to get Resolve to take my DNG sequences for video (as produced by my Sigma fp), but it only brings them in with very broken and washed out lighting. No combination of settings I've tried either imports them correc

Would you please share a link to your chassis and risers? I have the PCIE lanes, but not yet encountered a reasonable way to have more than 3 GPUs directly attached to a host, both from physical space and power requirements. External PCIe s

So much about this confuses me. What do Kitty and ncurses have to do with ROCm? Why is this being built with GCC instead of clang? Why even bother building it yourself when the tarballs are so good and easy to work with?

I have both of those cards. Llama.cpp with SYCL has thus far refused to work for me, and Vulkan is pretty slow. Hoping that some fixes come down the pipe for SYCL, because I have plenty of power for local models (on paper).

Right, because "you can't use an unpopular OS if you want your full rights as a citizen, and access to those rights must be additionally subject to a foreign corporation's opinion of you" is totally acceptable. I would g

I expect Mullvad will implement all this soon enough, and they do have adblocking with public endpoints.

If your origin is disguised by a public VPN, and you require TLS for the endpoints you connect to, what exactly are the agencies collecting,?

Well, they are, but that excuses nothing.

The last two people I handed Linux to were not tech literate. I offered them tech support from the beginning. They have been happy users for well over a year now that have not once called me for help. The story for normie Linux use really i

Why bother with a VM for Linux on the Acer? Just run it natively. There's almost nothing that actually requires Microsoft anymore, and you'll get better performance.

What on earth are you referring to?

Change without further qualifier implies doing something equivalent or better by different means or with a different look. What people are observing is a specific kind of change: regression, where the experience of appearance or result of a

What about buying from a fellow Hacker News nerd? I'm willing to handle shipping a new unit for you, based in USA. :-) I also have a used 1st-gen model, upgraded with hall-effect joysticks and a 2TB SSD with a glass screen protector th

You completely misunderstood the quoted remark you responded to. The desktop security features in MacOS that interfere with unblessed binaries and libraries loading is a huge pain in the ass, especially for headless server use.

Even if you're fine with risers, that might not be enough. If the bridge lanes are PCIe Gen 3, as many consumer boards have, your Gen 5 card might not init. I extensively tested several motherboards to try and get my AM5 CPU talking to

What about 10 years, then compulsory licensing goes into effect for any remaining duration and renewal?
263.
by MrDrMcCoy 7mo ago
I'm a big proponent of compulsory licensing, which could certainly be limited to renewals so that creative control is still granted for some amount of time.

Oh, sorry, I misread your comment as sarcasm.

Nice, I've standardized on Debian/KDE for most of my devices. Honestly, I recommend switching the repos to Testing and, in your case, using the edge kernel from Armbian. You'll have a much more performant and stable desktop,

Because possible voted it to the top. You don't have to agree, but it helps to understand.

Linux is a pretty good choice these days, and requires you to sacrifice nothing in terms of functionality :)

Author is going to Linux, which has really gotten smooth in the last few years. I've been able to hand it to tech illiterate friends and not once get a tech support call. Everything you might need has a working, polished implementation

The last straw for me was around 2009. I was in college minoring and interning in media production. Invested pretty heavily in Final Cut, which was long in the tooth, and hoping for better I/O in Macbooks to support better ingest. That

When you move to Android, I'd definitely recommend getting a Pixel for GrapheneOS. It's really highly polished and most things should just work once you press the button to enable sandboxed Google Play. Also curious what Linux dis
