On behalf of everyone with aphantasia, no that doesn’t work for me. Sigh. `

While SO is toxic, it’s mostly about the failure of the supplicant to do the fucking research (RTFM or equivalent these days goddammit, and is usually backed by ppl with actual knowledge, Chat GPT / LLMs., not so much.

I hear you, you makes sense, but that way lies the death of personal general computing, which would be a crying shame. You’ll have nothing and (won’t) like it a few years later, SaaS taking over powered by all those ‘AI’ datacentres. Peak phone could even have happened if RAM becomes prohibitive, instead they’re just windows on an all centralized, subscription web services. I see it as a pretty existential threat for my preferred way of life.

Well said.

You may be Crack’d.`

FOSS obviously, why is this a question ? Just support KDE (or Gnome if you like that)

If you’re after direct hate on AI, you’re swimming upstream, it’s propping up the government of the largest economy in the world. Just wait, it’s unsustainable.

Solid.

Do not build the Torment Nexus ;)

Can’t believe Cosmic Dare (Pretty with a Pistol) isn’t here already. Go watch Cowboy Bebop stat!

Eh, we could talk about security and the ancientness of X11, but the fact is wayland is where the dev is happening , you may lag a bit with LTS kernels, but it’ll get there.

Still wish I could cast an apps window to another machine (someone got a way with wayland) but otherwise with a modern kernel it significantly outperforms X. Give Bazzite a whirl, you’ll see.

Super informative if true, like mercator projection if you understand it. Is it ?, or just a meme / AI, fucking timeline. Source?

GIGO

Cool stuff, I’ve been using https://github.com/SnoringDragon/gluetun-qbittorrent-port-manager but it’s 2 years old and intermittent in functionality (works sometimes, check it if you haven’t). Will keep an eye on yours.

If you’re up for a challenge flaresolvarr is always in a cat and mouse game with cloudflare if that’s your idea of fun.

Well Done!

In Anna’s, thanks, likely useful…(to me), 1990.

Isn’t that just a portable battery with a solar charger (MPPT) integrated ? We were talking about solar roof setups combined with large fixed batteries, which will largely cover all your needs most days. The diesel genset I used as a placeholder for reliable personal electricity generation from some other mechanism for the rare other / high usage days. Biodiesel is a good option, but there’s hydrogen (or LPG) fuel cells and a number of other options, you don’t have to put them in the same room as you either.

Also kW is power, kWh is (stored) energy (kW you can deliver for an hour), units matter.

Manufacture drones, drones, drones… Ground floor and all.

Beautiful Soup (python library, bs4) is also fren

This, non ironically, teach them early there’s places (actually settings is a better word, but a more advanced concept) it’s OK and places it’s not. Bonus points for teaching them that the less they use swearing the more useful it will be at combating pain and stress (scientific fact BTW), so use it when needed, but generally make your point more civilly.

Precisely where Australia and England failed, cheaper to dump the responsibility on the Socials. Fox guards henhouse.

The authorizor, who provides the ZKP to the client, knows, not he client. This should probably be the licensing / ID provider in your country (because if they’re hacked everyone is screwed anyway, no additional risk) and already have your details, if not you’re likely young or a fairly extreme edge case. Facebook et.al. get bupkiss except older than X. Note in this model ZKP is a nice to have.

The power companies primarily provide a grid, high availability and secondarily charge for power (which should be rapidly headed towards zero given renewable uptake). FWIW, I think the grid is a natural monopoly and should never have been privatized, and certainly the power companies are doing the the bare minimum of maintenance and bugger all expansion to cope with solar input and EV output. If they leave it get bad enough the Government will have to step in and do it for them, pure profit.

The real threat to power companies is people with a big battery have the option to go fuck it, I’m getting a genset and some diesel and disconnecting, which means they no longer have the entire population over a barrel and might have to provide some value. The real solution is to cut the Gordian knot and re-nationailze the whole grid (instead of statewide as it was), which will also be easier with the weaker bargaining position they have with a large battery population.
