“Technically correct” is the best form of correct. Though having tried setting up Wireguard in the past, having a dead-simple solution like Tailscale might be worth trying it out, especially with the 100 device free tier

IoS - internet of shit

With the enshittification of streaming platforms, a Kodi or Jellyfin server would be a great starting point. In my case, I have both, and the Kodi machine gets the files from the Jellyfin machine through NFS.

Or Home Assistant to help keep IOT devices that tend to be more IoS. Or a Nextcloud server to try to degoogle at least a little bit.

Maybe a personal Friendica instance for your LAN so your family can get their Facebook addiction without giving their data to Meta?

I haven’t used Tailscale myself, but it seems like it’s basically just a Wireguard frontend.

AI is basically just “heuristically, sentences usually look like this, and when this word is used in this context, the next word is usually…” And so on.

There is no “thinking” behind ChatGPT, no real understanding of the topics it’s provided. Just a computer that provides sentences in a way that make humans attempt to humanize it.

I’d love to kick some money his way, but he only has two tiers: $20/mo and $100/mo. I think he could get a lot more donations if he started with a $5/mo tier.

I think he’d also do well to make a “this is why you should use bcachefs of ext4” sort of post to bring awareness to the project and its benefits.

I work in electronics manufacturing and I’m torn on this issue.

On the one hand, fuck Apple for requiring to go through so many hoops.

On the other hand, every device my company makes has an internal checksum and if one PCB is installed incorrectly, the main board throws a fit because the device checksum doesn’t match.

It sounds like Apple may do something similar for their products and it sort of makes sense: determined people try something crazy like take an older iPhone and install a newer Wireless module or replace Lightning with USB-C. Neither of those things were intended by Apple, and there’s a huge potential that it wouldn’t work.

With that said, it’s absolutely overkill for things like display or digitizer replacements, which are going to be the majority of repairs on iPhones.

Tl;Dr - fuck Apple, this is dumb, the users have the right to repair

Because of sprawl

Ironically enough, this is also the code that is perplexing Elon Musk over at X Twitter

I used Linux as my daily driver and set up homelabs for various things I wanted (Nextcloud, Jellyfin, Home Assistant, ActivityPub self server, etc).

Everything else just came organically from there.

That wallpaper is rustling my jimmies. The bar on the right should be vertical with the text, so it should actually read
