And it's not just creation of art from "scratch", I bet we will soon see AI being able to take painted animation frame, sketch of next and extrapolate next frame from it, and making whole process so much cheaper

The recommendation is to think about backups. > Also, how much is the average lifetime of a consumer-grade SSD these days? I always think they'll die in 5 years, but that's totally out of my head and not from experience. Some h

For us in heavy write load lifetime ("till zero wear level indicator") is around 4-5 years (with some as short as 2), but I had case of personal SSD dropping bad blocks with 95% life left. We do have some that sit at 1% life left

> but what if we could recover from this situation instead? Windows automatically resizes the swap file when it’s almost full, increasing the amount of commit space available. Could we use this to our advantage? I expect followup by some

Yeah back then it was much less to choose from. TCL i guess but honestly I was never a fan. I did wrote a firewall DSL in Perl right around that time but that was just a toy of a teenager.

Yeah the whole "run local http server as control panel" is iffy for non security centric stuff, let alone VPN software. I guess it is because it's easy ? But now even windows can make unix sockets, that seems like reasonably
