There are lots of stupid people.
There are lots of stupid people.
I haven’t tried Jellyfin yet mostly because I rely heavily on the native Plex apps for my TVs and phones. Outside network streaming without having to set up a proxy or VPN is another big reason.
I haven’t liked the direction Plex has been going for a while, but it’s hard to beat the convenience.
I finally overhauled my home server. I built a 12TB storage and media server using a few parts from the old server but am running it on Linux using docker rather than my old gaming PC’s windows 7 install. Should be much better for security and easier to upgrade or move.
Paid for PlexPass finally since hardware transcoding is locked behind the paywall.
Dropped Netflix after over a decade of using it regularly because the prices went up and I had been using it less.
Have used ChatGPT for help planning trips and developing goals and plans at home. I was restricted from using it or anything like it at work so I haven’t been able to properly use it to my advantage much.
Finally upgraded my router to WiFi 6 and my Internet bandwidth to gigabit from 250 mbps. It’s refreshing! Probably the best decision I made in 2023.
Dropped reddit (to include blocking the domain on my pihole). I still waste time but less of it is on social media.
Inspection intervals are based on expectation of damage over time, not to verify if the installation procedure was properly followed.
Design requirements for airplane parts that experience rotation or are part of control systems are regulated to have locking features to prevent loose bolts from happening. If the initial installation was done improperly it could be a failure in quality control at Boeing. Or if they were installed properly but weren’t designed with sufficient locking mechanisms it may be an improper design. Either way this could turn into an Airworthiness Directive which is when the FAA steps in to ensure safety.
It’s more like educated guessing, which is a lot faster than brute forcing. They can use code to check the answers so there is ground truth to verify against. A few days of compute time for an answer to a previously unsolved math problem sounds a lot better than brute forcing.
Generate enough data for good guesses and bad guesses and you can train the thing to make better guesses.
Playing devil’s advocate here, but is it truly a public good to have as many works as possible accessible to the public?
What if misinformation outweighs real information in the aggregate?
Got mine a year ago and the OLED is really tempting. I’ve had the OLED switch and steam deck side by side and the screen on the switch is much better. What I’m hoping is that the screen is a drop in replacement option for the original.
Edit: Damn…
I use it with Firefox. I’m not sure if it’s available for Chrome.
There are some uBlock Origin custom filters that bypass a lot of paywalls. The one I use is called Bypass Paywalls Clean.
Here’s the thing, the LLM isn’t recalling and presenting pieces of information. It’s creating human-like strings of words. It will give you a human-like phrase based on whatever you tell it. Chatbots like ChatGPT are fine tuned to try to filter what they say to be more helpful and truthful but at it’s core it just takes what you say and makes human-like phrases to match.
It’s the trust thermocline again. When will companies learn to do more ground level research before pulling bullshit like this?
For me Tunic perfectly captured that sense of wider and magic that I felt as a kid experiencing adventure games for the first time. Hyper Light Drifter and Outer Wilds gave me a bit of that as well. I highly recommend all three if you are looking for a similar experience.
I’ve also recently gone this way. I used my old gaming PC motherboard, ram, and CPU. Put Ubuntu server on it and it’s been running great. Mine is running in software raid5 and has room for 7 drives (though I’m only using 3 at the moment). I did put a gtx1650 in it for Plex transcoding and that works great as well.
Lab Gopher is a great way to check out eBay listings for used servers.
Honestly, I’m playing devil’s advocate here. I love working from home and feel that the benefits outweigh the drawbacks in almost all ways. I agree with your sentiment, but without a good understanding of what companies are giving away and whether they can afford it is a big part of why back to office was hurried along.
HR has to basically rewrite the book on everything after such a big shake-up in the culture of employment. New calculations for salaries, new requirements for liability, new hurdles for IT, infrastructure, and security. These are all costs to companies because the culture shifted. Working from home was mandatory for a short time, but it wasn’t obvious that companies could make it all work without time to sort out how to best do it.
Yeah, that’s how employment works.
Working from home is a benefit that is worth money. People are willing to get paid less for the benefit of working from home all else equal. Effectively, if you got to work from home, you got a raise. Forcing people to come back to the office after allowing working from home is like giving a raise and then taking it back. I agree that this is shitty and sucks.
However, when you negotiated your pay it was for a particular job with certain benefits. Complaining about your company not giving you a benefit that wasn’t initially part of your hiring negotiation is basically asking for a raise that they aren’t obligated to provide.
Edit: I guess this isn’t a popular opinion. I felt I was contributing to a conversation that seemed a little one sided by offering an alternative look at it. From an economic perspective there’s nothing wrong about what I’ve said. I don’t agree that it’s a nice or even ethical thing to do, but the backlash (against companies that push for RTO) seems overly dramatic to me.
Thanks for the recommendation. I added watchtower to my docker compose config.
I’ve been struggling figuring it out for the first time in a home server. Without understanding how a config file works it seems like magic.
I’ve had a rough time getting permissions to work right for each container and am still not entirely sure how upgrades work. Though I do have to admit that once I had it set up once, moving it to a new server when I changed operating systems was much easier than the initial set up.
It’s my first time running any kind of containerization service, and my first time running a Linux server (though I’ve used Linux off and on for over a decade) so maybe it’s just how new the idea is to me.
This is not true at all. You’re right that planes aren’t like cars, but airlines absolutely do their own maintenance. The maintenance program is initially provided by Boeing and modified by the airline based on statistical monitoring of issues.
