Any art and/or media production executed well enough to be culturally significant rests on an enormous depth of artistic and technical choices that most audiences have zero awareness of—and yet, if you took them all away, you would hav

This was my question too, so thanks for doing the legwork. Wondering (in complete ignorance of this general topic) why they didn't jump straight to that approach, though... edit: I guess maybe if you start with a healthy liver, the var

I self-host quite a few """cloud""" services, but my smart home stuff (nothing too fancy, a Lutron hub and some Matter plugs) all runs on Apple gear (Homepods, Apple TV) and I honestly have no concerns that the

I never root-caused it so thoroughly, but I have an Anker USB-C hub that causes exactly the same effect when it's unplugged from a machine while still connected to ethernet. Took me months to figure out wtf was happening.

Thanks for the reply. I guess if the enterprise repo is the primary reason most organizations buy a subscription (implying that your existing subscriptions are already skewed toward the community license), and you added a homelab-tier subsc

My thoughts exactly. Anyone from Proxmox reading? Could it be that you're leaving money on the table here?

+1, Proxmox is awesome. I set up a cluster with two machines I wasn't using (one almost 10 years old, one fairly modern with a 5950X) and now I don't have to worry about that single Debian box with all my services on it shitting t

I don't have much faith that our regulators are going to get their shit together either, but that doesn't mean I can't hold them responsible for the consequences of their negligence. As for the theory that the invisible hand

I'm not sure what else you can call a scenario in which LLMs, currently hyped as (among other things) near-term replacements for human workers in all sorts of professions and positions, are not eventually able to satisfactorily (and co

Hence why I said "LLMs are useful tools". But the current hype pitches them as much, much more than ancillaries to traditional web search, hence why I said "[...] then the hype is a bust. TBD."

Is it a straightforward download? I've never used any of these "digital copy" codes but I always assumed they let you stream it on a closed platform rather than just giving you a DRM-free file you can do whatever with. Seems

I also think the way you posed the question is pretty weird and actively invites misinterpretation. If I approach a glass door and see mirrored text, that's not "mirror writing"—it's regular writing for people on the oth
