Nice!

I’m on board w/ both honestly, as unpopular as that may sound. If a job can be automated, it should.

I want to point out that an AI being able to do a job doesn’t mean that job is now obsolete for humans. There will always be room for that human touch, which is why things like kit cars and hand-carved statues are still a thing in an era of automated car factories and 3D printers.

I’ve been getting into chess recently, and the best chess AIs can consistently beat top humans, yet there are still tournaments for human competitors to compete against each other. The human touch will always have value.

I think Lemmy is just scared of change. To be fair, so am I, but as long as I learn to adapt, I should get net benefits from technological advancements.

The main “wasted” resources here is storage space and maybe a bit of RAM, actual runtime overhead is very limited. It turns out, storage and RAM are some of the cheapest resources on a machine, and you probably won’t notice the extra storage or RAM usage.

VMs are heavy, Docker containers are very light. You get most of the benefits of a VM with containers, without paying as high of a resource cost.

We should probably make a poll thread here, it could be pretty interesting to see everyone’s primary and secondary motivations.

There are a few decent options, all with some caveats:

• Seafile - wicked fast, but uses a funky disk format, so you need either a FUSE layer or the web UI/API to access anything
• OCIS/OpenCloud - default install uses a funky file format, but you can change this to POSIX if you want (experimental on OCIS, might be default now on OpenCloud?)
• others - probably work fine, but they get less blog attention

I’m playing with OCIS and I like it so far. There was some funkiness when I had things misconfigured, but now that it’s working, I like it.

It’s the easiest way to get stuff running, so I’m guessing that’s why. But it’s far from the best way.

I’m not sure how the weight is distributed, so maybe? Maybe it needs sandbags in the front?

Either way, it sounds workable as an around town truck, even in snow, without 4WD.

It usually comes down to privacy and independence from big tech, but there are a ton of other reasons you might want to do it. Here are some more:

• preservation - no longer have to care if Google kills another service
• cost - over time, Jellyfin could be cheaper than a Netflix sub
• speed - copying data on your network is faster than to the internet
• hobby - DIY is fun for a lot of people

For me, it’s a mix of several of reasons.

The only real problem here is the price. It should’ve been more like $30.

Yes please!

And that’s a big reason why I don’t buy Ubisoft games. Even the old Ezio trilogy has that crap.

So yeah, no more.

And that’s why I generally avoid the genre, not because “survival” sucks, but because bad “survival” sucks.

Nice, amateur hour it seems.

That’s a good way to always keep chips on hand.

Eh, you can be reasonably sure that GrapheneOS or other Android ROMs without any Google Play apps is private.

Ouch.

This plus those wearable battery things that recharge with movement could be super cool. Or just plug into a wheelchair battery or something.

X to doubt…

Maybe you just have low expectations, but I’ve seen so many threads about terrible performance on top tier hardware. That’s inexcusable.

And this is why I don’t buy day 1. Performance actually looks reasonable compared to other day 1 releases, but it’s still not what I want to play. I bet most of these issues will be resolved in a month or two, and definitely resolved by the first sale, so I’ll hold off. It’s not like there’s going to suddenly be content to miss out on, it’s a remaster, so waiting is absolutely reasonable.

That’s fine honestly, provided it’s smooth. In the video, there was a fair amount of hitching though…
