I'm really quickly getting to the point where I can't read LLM posts. I tried because on the face of it this seemed interesting but after the third or fourth tell, I got sick of reading something that a) is 50% longer than it nee

I find there are three peopls who comment about hosting email. A small group like us who set it up correctly and never have problems. A larger group who set it up but get the dns wrong and warn people not to. And a third bigger group who ne

The comments are full of people saying the restore didn't work. If that's not important to you, you could save the extra $99 and just not bother backing it up. Given your use case and space, I'd just get a storage box from he

I'm torn on this. It should go through the courts, but the fact is that cloudflare are providing access to illegal content and not doing anything about it. Spain were left with two choices if Cloudflare refuse to act. Either accept it

The person I replied to couldn't code on a plane, so presumably either doesn't use or doesn't like open models

Will you do anything differently knowing this? Does the risk of LLMs being unaffordable to you in the near future make you wary about losing the skills?

Discord annoys me with this. I tried to ask a question about GrapheneOS on reddit and they auto deleted it and said we use discord now. I don't have discord so I signed up and can't post until I verify my email. So I verified a bu

Just to be clear, they are 10+ year old accounts, they haven't been paying for 10+ years, premium has only been available for maybe 3 years

With a double edged sword - they also removed the organic engagement you previously would have gotten

When X premium came out they said if I paid my tweets would be boosted more. I didn't pay, and my account with a few hundred followers went from 100ish views per average tweet to 10. If you think you don't need to pay for engageme

I might be wrong but should you not have said profit generating? I pay them $20 a month so they have at least $20 of revenue

In your case, being cut off is a real possibility. In the EU case it's just larping and the author of every one of those articles is probably still using Claude, cloudflare and a dozen other companies.

Yeah exactly. If your password can be bruteforced in 1000 or so attempts you have bigger problems than not having fail2ban on ssh. The parent comment was suggesting someone was hacked in an hour for leaving ssh on default settings, and it&#

Maybe I wasn't very clear. It seems like they are in support of those regulations. They seem like an EU mouthpiece

I used their OCR against a few hundred page PDF that was printed text but missing the OCR. It cost me $5 and was useless, it did worse than tesseract. That's how all my experience with mistral is

I mean we already pay a tax when buying phones or storage because it's assumed we'll use it for piracy so why not.

This is so weird to me. So many tech writers seemed to suddenly decide this was a possibility at the same time, and based on what? How much energy was wasted on this thought experiment? And if the US does pull the plug and disconnects Europ

I've tried Mistral a few times, at first it seemed promising (though lagging) but at some point it seems like they stopped focusing on AI and shifted their focus to being a mouthpiece for EU policy and pushing for regulation. I can&#x2

Yeah that sounds quite annoying, but has nothing to do with ssh log noise. Maybe investigate what's causing the OOM. I have multiple 1GB vps with ssh open to the world and they never OOM, and they're obviously not just running ssh

The reputation thing is bull by the way, you don't need to spam people continually to get your email delivered - otherwise every normal people would know this was true. Of course you have an A+ reputation, the service assumes people wa

Oh man another spammer complaining about spam filters. You are the reason email sucks, the rest of us can complain about you

Don't get me wrong I don't think a homelab is necessary, but I think people who have only done this in a big corporate environment are doing themselves a disservice - either a small company or a homelab can fix that itch, but like

It must have been comically weak, like "root", "password" or something like that

My point is that none of these coworkers have ever been at that stage. He was surprised about me hosting something because he seems to think hosting is expensive and for companies. Straight in at the top end of k8s and microservices

None of them self host anything at all. It's like that skill was totally skipped. But they advise and consult on infra

Nothing would happen, ssh is designed to be open to the world. Using tailscale or a vpn to hide your IP is fine, but using tailscale ssh maybe not.

I need more info about devs getting infected over ssh in less than an hour. Unless they had a comically weak root password or left VNC I don't believe it at all

A devops coworker found my blog and asked me how I host it, is it Kubernetes. I told him it's a dedicated server and he seemed amazed. And this was just a blog. It's real

The cost of stealing has always been essentially zero. Same argument can be made for streaming, and yet Netflix is neither cheap nor struggling for subscribers.

Social media is good if owners allow for good is an example of the logical fallacy "begging the question"
