That last bit looks like something you should send off to a place like 404 media.

I wasn’t accusing you of any of this.

Just reflecting on how Lemmy is not participating in the AI hype.

Yeah, I’m mostly talking about how r/singularity changed. And “let’s break society” accelerationist people.

It is interesting how Reddit has a sub (multiple subs?) with people frothing at the mouth about AI advancements, but Lemmy does not seem to.

This makes me ponder the assertions that these are exotic compression algorithms.

I’m down with compression being the mechanism asserted for legal reasons.

Lame. I’ve used this feature a lot. It feels like such a basic thing to include.

SharePlay is a standard feature in Apple devices, and it handles it. But only in supported apps.

The pandemic showed how nice such a feature can be for a lot of people.

People underestimate how more RAM can be more power usage.

Would you have felt differently if it was called Rendezvous?

I guess when I complain, I’m not really talking about hosting at all. I’m talking about things being written in stuff like python, with web UIs instead of native software.

I miss native software. And native software could be placed on a server. I prefer to run a Mac Mini for my home server, because I can use as many native apps as possible. Along with the all the other web-interface-based scripts and things.

People like to act like Docker containers and environment variables are simple. But so often these things are not.

Anyway. As someone else pointed out, it’s strange for me to be posting these lamentations in this community. I don’t mean to throw shade or talk shit.

So I’ll leave it there.

That’s fair. Ran across it in All.

I wish more software wasn’t “hosted” these days.

I miss app ass apps.

Don’t mind me. I’m just feeling old.

Fruit? Really?

Last time someone mentioned these on Lemmy I got one.

It “crashed” according to Synology in about a week. Woke me up in the middle of the night with the Synology beeping.

Hugging face warned us.

I have gigabit, and struggled to stream. Turned out I had the Quality of Service (QoS) /traffic priority settings on my router misconfigured.

This might be something to look into.

Can a remote user download something from your network at a reasonable and consistent speed? (Not using Plex)

Can you upload a large file somewhere and monitor the speed and see if it maintains speed as expected?

For me, these two things were also performing at unexpectedly low speeds, or being wildly inconsistent until I fixed my QoS settings.

It’s a bummer that hard drives are priced this way. It’s been common for a few decades now.

You can’t monitor shit.

Nah. They just choose to do this staggered rollout. It is weird that the M4 is starting here. But various devices have been used as the “first” of each Apple Silicon generation.

The current iMacs have M3. And the studio is still on M2. That does not mean the iMac is favored over the Studio. Nor did it mean the iMac is favored over the previous iPads.

Huh, that’s unintuitive to me. I remember people talking about too many hard drives in a case using too much power before. Overloading it, etc. 1-2W each would not overload a normal power supply. 🤔

Did hard drives just quietly get super efficient when I wasn’t paying attention? Or is something else going over my head here?

Irony poisoning?
