Nice try, openai bot (/s)

LOL genuinely thought it was a case of “engineer hates the user”, instead it was a case “management said we need to save 5 cents for the voltage regulator”

It’s a cr2032 from Duracell with that coating, later I’m going to try that

Raid wasn’t designed for data safety but to minimize downtime. Just swap the drive an continue operating the server seamlessly. Full backups are still required as the chance of complete failure isn’t zero

There are so many assholes like this that unless they’re using MailChimp or similar (cloud platforms where this can’t be done automatically) I don’t even bother with unsubscribing. I just set the mail server to bounce any email from that domain.

It’s still in alpha but hoarder is promising

It’s designed to organize bookmarks, but can also support markdown notes with picture (a single picture, not multiple pictures)

Unfortunately at the moment the mobile app is so alpha that doesn’t support creation or editing such notes, only new bookmarks or new photos.

It uses a headless chromium to make screenshots for URLs.

Optionally, can use a bullshit generator like ollama or openai api keys to automatically create a lot of useless tags to each note

It says “the video might be inappropriate for some users”. Afaik those videos never worked because they required login with Google account

Maybe they really believed that this shit was so good that nobody would ever return or even sell it to third parties in the future

I can’t believe that I watched a 30 minutes rant about puyo puyo until the end, it was interesting even if I’m on the Tetris side, sorry

What I’ve been doing:

Easy option: because I only have around 40gb of music, I sync it between my PC and my phone using syncthing since 128gb is the minimum nowadays

Hard option: streaming is cooler so I installed nextcloud with an optional plugin called “music” which allows to connect an app called “ultramusic” and it becomes “self hosted Spotify” with android auto support and all the bells and whistles. Disadvantage: Nextcloud is a moving target. For some reason they have to release new incompatible versions every two or three months. So for plugin developers this is a very annoying upgrade threadmill that eventually leads to burnout and that plugin dies. Even officially supported plugins sometimes don’t support the latest version when they launch it. If you choose to use nextcloud with docker, make sure to stay behind 1-2 versions (tag nextcloud:28 when nextcloud:30 is released) or your plugins might suddenly break without any warning. According to fanboys this is the industry standard nowadays and it’s up to the user to manually check the GitHub issues of each of the 30 plugins if it’s compatible before updating. Even if it’s official plugin. They call it “stable” but they mean “beta testing for the paid enterprise version”.

Unfortunately the hardware is so closed that even themselves can’t reset the software for refurbishing

https://www.theverge.com/2024/8/7/24211339/humane-ai-pin-more-daily-returns-than-sales

Once a Humane Pin is returned, the company has no way to refurbish it, sources with knowledge of the return process confirmed. The Pin becomes e-waste, and Humane doesn’t have the opportunity to reclaim the revenue by selling it again.

You phone doesn’t have the low-res laser projector gimmick that is invisible in daylight, runs extremely hot and drains the battery in one hour

The fact that suddenly it went to watch a leisure website during work… did they use stolen screen recordings from human activity for training? Like if some corporation allowed them to record all the activity of their employees for training

I went back to watch my Facebook since years and I scrolled and scrolled. 24 sponsored posts before seeing a post from someone that I knew! And it was a post from someone out of the country who did a 1 week workshop with me ten years ago (=someone that I barely know). Next post is from a schoolmate after 21 sponsored posts. Need to-scroll through another 21 sponsored posts to find another real post. Again from someone who I barely know (the teacher of that workshop where I went ten years ago)

How can people enjoy this shit? They actually enjoy watching ads?

that’s good, didn’t notice that

that’s why is IMMENSELY stupid. They have permanently blocked 6000 IPv4 addresses, used also by legit hosters like OVH, scaleway, akamai, linode, hetzner, digitalocean, cogent, AWS and cloudflare that are definitely legit and used for other purposes

5 days for appeal is also ultrastupid because there’s no notification to the owner

and the pirate just spins a new $5 VM with a new IP address and nothing changes…

yes but the old docker requires the old licenses that aren’t on sale anymore to share more than 10 directories or other QOL improvements

It says “unlimited file sync is a $5 in-app unlock” so I’m guessing they can make money. Main problem is the apple developer fees that will eat the profit of the first 25 sales each year

That client seems really nice, is that new? I was thinking that it was just a download link for the browser but now it’s like a self hosted steam 😲

Years ago it was really interesting, could follow all my friends and see what they were up to. Now it’s ads, suggested content and sometimes, accidentally, I can see some uninteresting post from someone I barely know
