I find using an AI for the first draft useful enough of a kick in the ass to actually get the thing written, which I've probably been procrastinating about for hours. I rewrite it from there, and it's completely different by the t

I believe someone built a Linux print driver that let you print straight to these and it would upload the file.

Forgejo has Runners that you can install on another server and register with Forgejo Actions. There might be 3rd party Runners you can pay to use, I've just run my own on a hardened VM.

And they've hobble Fable and Opus so hard with their safety guardrails, I ask innocuous questions and tasks and they get flagged so often I gave up on it. I can get all the work I need done in GPT5.5 or 5.6 without the hassle. I just

Actually, it wasn't unreasonable. If the guy caused the damage while picking up a sonde, to know who's sonde it was would help identify the culprit.

This is so much their own damn fault. I have no idea what level of utter incompetency it takes to think that a cloud storage system is a safe way to store the only copy of your data. And as you said, on top of that all the warning signs w

This station was clearing over a million dollars after expenses, and they couldn't be arsed to take a backup of their data on this cloud service. I have a hard time feeling much sympathy for them. And now Iron Mountain has to referee

Your approximate location is automatically determined by cell tower triangulation and fed to emergency services when you call. It's very common now.

Tariffs I'm guessing. A fencepost in Canada is CAD$8 so $6. A roll of barbwire is US$70. See UFA.com for Canadian prices. Keep in mind, there's a lot of variance in what people prefer to use, I'm just giving what I've

Wow, what a ignorant response to someone that was giving you genuine feedback. Do better.

HAM-is-not-ham And your example must be one of those weirdos on 80m. What a pack of crazies.

I don't think Zitron has been right about anything in the last 5 years. But he talks a good talk.

Did they have writing and kept records that we've found? That's the "recorded" part.

Hermes seems to pick up after a stoppage. At least I've never had to push it again, it might just take a long time to finish a task and then I'll see the messages in the transcript.

Exactly like all the "community-scripts" that were started by a fellow that passed away a couple years ago. I've been railing against the install one-liners for years to obviously poor effect.

Nothing about this bubble makes sense. Why should this?

You could exhaust Windows networking or filesystem features in an afternoon. Linux could give you a career. I spent 20 years supporting Windows server and server applications like Exchange, SQL Server, IIS, etc, etc, and when I left that i

I've gotten to the point that if you're trying to show me something and I see you're using Windows, I just assume you're an unserious person and it's worthless. All the major tools for advanced work are Linux-based,

>Businesses don’t operate based on revenue Well, you have that right. But apparently they IPO based on even less.

Maybe it does make you a better engineer because when you look back on a commit that you were rushed on, you don't see a commit message of "Fixed it".

It astonishes me how aggressive people are on this issue that have never turned a wrench on a Deere machine.

by ikidd 3mo ago
In the last decade, on a fleet of almost 30 Deere machines from lawnmowers to high-clearance sprayers and combines, I could count on one hand the number of times I've needed the Deere laptop to diagnose a problem to fix it.

Man, I remember doing this in the late 90s with ipchains as the only way to get a router that didn't cost an arm and a leg. Eventually consumer/prosumer routers came out. What's old is new again.

It would still be wiser to tie your own router into the hotel system as a gateway, and keep your own PAN behind that.

As long as corn and soybeans are subsidized via crop insurance, and propped up by biofuel mandates, oats will not be a popular crop in the US. Canada doesn't do any such subsidies so oats make a lot of sense. In fact, some years it&#x

Wouldn't that just immediately get it thrown out as non-cleanroom invention considering the source of the weights is extremely public-domain heavy?
