This is not just chatgpt and also not caused by a recent changed.

all llms seems to love this pattern and i agree once you know about it you start seeing it everywhere.

I could see corporations take over the mainstream public web but the open networking tools will persist to create a new open web besides it.

If the “darkweb” does one thing very well its demonstrating how there will always be a way.

My week as a windows forced office worker just peaked having seen this meme.

I highly prefer a wireless mouse, but only if does also come with a wire.

I would still consider myself a noob but i do feel accomplished enough to answer this properly.

Hardware depends on your budget. It does not need to be bleeding edge either, i would focus on a good server case that makes it easy to upgrade over time and maybe fits a few harddrives if you don’t plan on having a nas.

Also make sure to check how much sata connections your motherboard can handle, using an m.2 slots may occupy some of the physical sata connections.

I highly, highly recommend proxmox for an OS.

You can set up every different service into its own lxc container, its wonderful to know you can experiment with whatever and everything else will be unaffected and just keep working. Within lxc things can just run using docker (though this is officially not recommended it works fine). The resource sharing between lxc containers is excellent. Taking snapshots a breeze. And when an lxc is not enough you can easily spin up some vm with whatever distro or even windows also. Best server-choice i made ever!

The zfs format for your storage pool is also very good. And you definitely want redundancy, redundancy makes it so x amount of drives can fail and the system just keeps running like normal while you replace the broken drive, otherwise a single drive failing ruins all your data.

Unless you make every drive its own pool with specific items that you backup separately but thats honestly more troublesome then learning how to setup a pool.

How you want a pool and how much redundancy is a personal choice but i can tell you how i arranged mine.

I have 5 identical drives which is the max My system can handle. 4 of them are in a pool with a raidz1 configuration (equivalent to raid-5) this setup gives me 1 drive of redundancy and leaves me 3 drives of actual usable space.

I could have added the fifth drive in the pool fo more but i opted not too, to protect my immich photons against complete critical failure. This fifth drive is unmounted when not used.

Basically my immich storage are in a dataset, which you can think of as a directory on your pool that you can assign to different lxc to keep things separate.

Every week a script will mount the fifth drive, rsync copy my immich dataset from the pool onto it. Unmount the drive again. Its a backup of the most important stuff outside of the pool.

This drive can also be removed from the cases front in an emergency, which is part of why I recommend spending some time finding a case that fits your wants more then worrying about how much ram.

Best of luck!

Its a different scrabble now.

I don’t know if this is on purpose, but if it is then it is brilliant advertising. I wan’t to know everything there is to know about this company now.

I once wrote down a food recept in code style because it seemed like the most structured way to do so.

The code to handle errors would be so bloated to deal with every conceivable and inconceivable situation you will get errors on your errors.

The computer is as helpful as it can be with what little context it knows of what was going on. Mostly it just knows that codeline 123 went fine and 124 went not.

This isn’t even fucking with them, it directs them to provide an actual proper answer.

They hope to learn it to be a better fascist because for some reason trying to make ai smarter has the “sideeffect” of it agreeing with altruistic and woke ideas.

That is the world we live in, sure capitalism is dominant but you can’t simply dismiss open technology movement as non existent just because you aren’t aware of them.

“Volvo has a history with the modern three-point safety belt, which was perfected by in-house engineer Nils Bohlin in 1959 before the patent was shared with the world.”

This story is a famous example of seemingly putting human safety before personal profit.

In a direct comparison this innovation on it is worse because it lacks the defining feature that makes it truly applaudable.

The original 3 point seatbelt patent would also expire after 20 years but they (presumably) saw the amount of people they could save and chose not to wait.

Though you might have reasonable argument on corporate motivation that is commonly accepted i personally am in very strong disagreement with the notion that profit incentives are anything but harmful.

In my own reasoning and experience i found that a desire for profit or personal success sabotage the effective value of any potential invention.

The objective value of a product that i attempt to perceive is directly correlated to how many living beings can successfully use it without losing value in return.

For example the most advanced designer cars that exist that can only the super rich can buy… those are complete worthless junk and leaching valuable assets and energy from our planet trown in the proverbial bin.

A text file that explains in detail how to fix and maintain a generic bike written by some passionate nerd and freely available online has in comparison uncountable value.

Chances are a for profit product is also build needlessly complex just to stifle future competition (Apple likes that one also) or intentionally flawed so a new later patent can save the day and sustain the practical monopoly on it. If you look around you see this everywhere.

I see the same trends in digital development. Closed source only exist to exploit people who have not learned how to property own and maintain a computer and to block off ways open source devs could use to innovate for the benefit of everyone.

This is why i prefer the proprietary systems not exist at all. So someone else can invent it instead. In theory all knowledge is out there and so are all inventions, to be discovered and shared for enrichment of the species as a whole.

If you ask me, if the benefit of everyone including yourself is not enough motivation to build something better then what already is. I don’t want you on my team.

If your motivation requires a self serving result, i would prefer if society paid you to STAY AWAY from any important work decisions because the losses are too great to give that power to what subjectivity understand as a mental illness.

If everyone benefits, i benefit. If no one suffers, i don’t suffer. You can keep the ego happy and still arrive to the same conclusion, i am award this is considered an extreme stance but i will die on this hill unless someone can point me to a higher one,

Someone remind me to adjust my opinion of volvo when they also release this tech pattern to the world for free.

I do not care how safe your system is in theory, if you are gatekeeping it so others can’t replicate it its more dangerous to the world then if it didn’t exist at all, which at least allows the chance of someone with ethics to still invent and share it.

Woke has gone too far, in my day they would have gotten a bullet between the eyes.

I have tried snac before as a minimalist fediverse server but the blog style layout isn’t really for me.

I have also considered wether a personal Lemmy is a good idea or not.

Counter argument, every year is the year of the linux desktop because its a good meme to share our enthusiasm for the platform.

Also any year that someone switches their main desktop to linux is the year of the linux desktop for them personally.

It doesn’t have to mean anything beyond it, there is no failure condition or something to chase.

It is so undervalued for how amazing streaming your own music collection is.

I have done research into what product i should buy three times and i am still not sure enough to answer this. That says enough about how confusing the modern tech market is.

They are definitly proprietary and a competitor to LDAC from sony. Finding something that supports both sennheiser and sony headsets without being overpriced is a nightmare.

The renaming while still selling it with older packaging for years has been angering me since it happend.

Honestly it would not be so much of a problem if things where actually labeled appropriately with all the actual specs and support features on the package but its more profitable to keep you guessing (and going for the higher priced one just in case)

They do the same thing with Bluetooth audio transmission usb, their “high quality audio” and “ps5 compatible” but does not tell me wether it supports aptx or not?

Also the whole “buy a product clearly pictured with usb A type connector, receive a usb C type connector variant, if lucky, with an added adapter.
