A law that specified you were actively using the phone would be hard to enforce. Simmiliar to how it is usually illegal to have open alcohol within reach of the driver. The officer doesn’t have to actually see you drinking it.

A lot of people host websites created with a static site generator just fine without that extra layer. Unless your site has expensive to generate dynamic pages, lots of video content, or deep changelog pages (wiki history or forge commit diff’s publicly available), it makes a lot of sense to keep it simple.

Putting everything behind Cloudflare is just cargo cult behaviour and learning all the ins and outs of it isnt any harder than learning a firewall (which is transferrable knowledge that can also protect your machines from each other).

Its a little annoying on Linux but I wonder what it would be like on Windows.

Which are probably just web front ends to the above?

They are complex systems that need monitoring and management. Of course, there are well established ways to do this with zero-cost software and no need for any of the janky stuff that is on all this IOT stuff except a deliberate desire to monetize equipment after the sale via enshitification.

I assume so yes. The first video we transmitted was Hitler, and the biggest radio signals were H-bombs.

Feels like solar tech is like trying to buy real medicine in 1890. Mostly snake oil or alcohol.

Did they break this story? Looks like this is a copy-paste article on hundreds of shitty sites: https://duckduckgo.com/?t=fpas&q=chaos+computer+club+solar+vulnerability+remote+chinese&ia=web

The Chaos Computer Club is real, and awesome, but I cand find anything on their site or YouTube about this yet. It was probably not in English though so thats on me: https://www.ccc.de/en/home

The place where hikers literally go blind without dark sunglasses.

You have the right attitude and I hope you are able to successfully shop around. Some institutions are paying below living wages to overworked and precariously employed instructors. Of course they phone it in. Those places are not worth your money and just trying to cash in on the “diploma” ==“job ticket” mentality.

Find a place that actually gives a shit about education and you should find professors interested in actual education that will see your attitude as refreshing.

40 years of telling kids a degree is a job ticket rather than explaining the value of a liberal arts education.

Every time I see k12 education discussion focused on “preparing kids for the job market” I cringe. Its the cart before the horse and just as agile.

Those GPUs will be about as useful as a bitcoin miner for gaming. As in exactly not useful.

They may be really useful for running your own local LLM, as long as you don’t mind the hefty power bill and jet engine noise.

Works fine… Most of the time. As long as the file gets saved at an instant in time (e.g. zfs snapshot), postgres sees it like a power failure and restores. You want to have several recent backups if you do this because it will occasionally fail.

Yeah, I bind mount the config inside a config directory just below the compose file, and the state (databases, files, etc) to a seperate storage location that makes sense. The compose and config gets added to git and pushed to a forge, while the storage directories are backed up like normal (in my case, zfs snapshots pushed to another computer and then restic backs up those cold files to b2.

I prefer the off lease commercial thinkpads too, but I am glad someone is actually creating new stuff for that market. The used thinkpad market can’t grow.

Agreed. Give me a chonky 2000 era wall of ports along the side. I’m weird though, and people like thin laptops they can hold in one hand.

“Most of the market” includes the segments of commercial support contracts for office laptops which Framework doesn’t even target. Then you have the next biggest which is "go to Costco/Walmary/bestbuy and get what is on sale. So Framework simply cannot be a majority brand without those.

Among the remaining segment, e.g., developers that get to shop around and buy whatever they want? Its fairly popular.

The AI companies will die. That is fact. Some will even die quickly when the bubble pops. What cannot continue must stop. The earlier the bubble pops, the less the harm.

Also, resessions are moneymaking for the extremely wealthy. They lose wealth on paper (unrealized), but they are positioned to “buy stock when it is on sale”, not to mention benefit from government stimulus and bailouts. Its all the small time pension investors that get hosed the most.

Ahem, what they are still doing based on everyone’s overloaded webserver logs.

That is true, and so I suspect the only truly FLOSS models we will ever see will be highly specialised to a particular task; which is, in the long run, fine by me. A coding llm that comes with a huge corpus of open source training code, maybe even just in a specific language, a speech to text model with a corpus of transcribed creative commons audio, probably a single language or pair of languages if its for translation, etc. That way the datasets, while still huge, could actually be curated by a single community.
