I really think it's a good thing. I think it balances the ability to allow dissent and debate while helping ensure the comment isn't flamebait. Without slashdot-style metamoderation it's the only way to keep trolls at bay. I&

Not 100% as much on UI refinement, but it's as close as it's ever been, and I haven't run into many (any) weird GUI glitches or settings issues. Wifi was still a bit weird on new chipsets but I don't think that's KD

I find Proxmox to be a great host. It's Debian with a bunch of helper scripts/GUI to run containers and VMs. I manage ZFS outside the Proxmox bubble and run a privileged SMB server container to access it. Though I really don'

The only article I found with those keywords is that they are/were considering dropping ZFS /boot support in GRUB. If that is the case, they aren't removing ZFS support for non-boot drives.

In my experience, if someone is going to be contrarian or pivot the topic to something else or move a conversation from primarily non-political into political, they have the burden of explaining the connection to the main topic and to be ex

I don't think "They deliberately murdered 100 children to lure opposition military officers in for a second strike" is apologism.

Infosec for 15 years, and I do not want passkeys either. Anything that attaches itself to hardware is susceptible to loss. Anything that attaches itself to hardware makes it harder to use services from a new device. At some layer you have b

There are companies that mirror their traffic to storage for a few days to be able to look back and troubleshoot issues. ALL their traffic, proactively.

Are you suggesting that their technical documents have separate availability numbers to predict geopolitical events and war?

Since February I've been running CachyOS or Fedora (multiple machines) 100% at home. I only have a Windows partition on the desktop for a single game. Gaming "just works" on Linux with one AAA exception that needs a tweak to

For someone who drives long distances or travels in the Western US, I think hybrids make more sense than EV. I know in Texas I could get an EV but it would extend trips quite a bit and make planning more important in when and where to cha

I want to try again using AI to build an app, and also learn some Rails. I consult at a company that uses ServiceNow for change control and it's absolutely horrible, and they have busted processes atop it. I dream of a change control a

I use adblock and on my TV, Youtube Premium. I loaded a stock web browser on VPN and checked Youtube looking for ads. Holy shit, it's all scams. Sample size of three, but not a single ad was a known company or a decent product.

In the long term, I think you're correct. In the medium term, AI still won't know your business-specific workflows and data relationships, and humans are needed to define those things and let the AI build the scaffolding around it

Scrap the current forms of elected representation with one that encourages multiple parties instead of a forced dichotomy. Create some kind of constant recall mechanism for elected officials. And other things.

Glad we agree. I can't tell if I'm being downvoted by anti-Musk people who didn't read the whole comment, or pro-Musk people mad that I called him out for funding disinformation campaigns.

SpaceX is amazing, and he may receive due credit for the "vision" of pushing forward the state of the art in electric vehicles and rockets. We (society) often glosses over personal failings of popular figures. But given the level

Yes, there is an expectation in the history of free society that the government is not proactively observing every person on every block, asking for ID, and following them down the streets, then documenting that and correlating it with ot

The number of so-called liberals in my life who didn't vote in 2024 because "both sides suck" is greater than zero, and this gnaws at me every time I think about it. I am not offended at the idea of countries decoupling from

The loosest definition might be "isolated network or leaf node of the internet" if one considers a non-natted DMZ to be a lan. If one thinks all the assumptions in the article are bogus, then I agree there's no definition of

The problem then doesn't have to do with AI specifically, it requires human intervention and vetting. If the problem is "someone submitted an AI-written request that got rubberstamped", the problem is the stamp, not the AI. I

I get the idea, but this isn't necessarily useful as advice and toys with definitions. It's ESPN levels of conversation-baiting. Lots of assumptions can be reasonably made about residential LANs without being true of enterprise LA

Perhaps the centralization of governance and the asymmetric power of government over the people is the problem. If a village of 20 people found out one of their members had been poisoning them for years, knowingly, to attain status as the m

It isn't just about money, it's about who. I don't think the companies using it are using it to create botnets. The intention is for highly targeted pieces of software to use it to secure their code and be ahead of the game b

I get that concept, but what part of the user is the product at HF? Even openrouter I get because at least it's a broker of all the user's information. HF to me is a glorified file host with no private user data access, no complex

What data can an be extracted from hf though? With GitHub you get a lot of user behavior analysis and can offer enterprise features and see private repositories.
