Makes sense on today of all days.

I’m not entirely sure what the “maintenance burden” even is on a tech that hasn’t changed in decades.

Only because of current RAM prices and artificial scarcity keeping those prices high.

300GB of RAM shouldn’t be that expensive. I have 1/3 of that in my server (bought years ago). If it wasn’t for the AI bullshit, 300GB would be fairly reasonable to buy in a couple of years time.

And every one of those decisions is more data they’ll feed the machine.

There has to be a point where you’ve got enough edge cases and bizarre situations where you have the data to train the LLM on how to deal with them.

I doubt our dystopian future is completely human-less, but you can probably plot a graph that projects the number of human interventions required for every thousand miles driven and that graph probably has a trend going downwards.

Then you move to another city that has more edge cases and repeat the process. Google can afford the slow rollout, Tesla can’t.

I think he’s referring to certain enterprise switches and other networking gear that has basically zero support for automation.

For me personally, I would be replacing that equipment but some businesses would rather pay a few hundred bucks every year + manpower to replace the certs than a few thousand once to replace the equipment.

Absolutely! Here’s my CI pipeline, it’s actually super basic: https://gist.github.com/neoKushan/bd92031bb9c8db3320e8c19d5dae3194

Happy to answer questions if you like.

I just added my compose files to the repo, that CI file and set up renovate https://github.com/renovatebot/renovate to create my PR’s for me.

I generally agree with the sentiment but don’t pull by latest, or at the very least don’t expect every new version to work without issue.

Most projects are very well behaved as you say but they still need to upgrade major versions now and again that contains breaking charges.

I spebt an afternoon putting my compose files into git, setting up a simple CI pipeline and use renovate to automatically create PR’s when things update. Now all my services are pinned to specific versions and when there’s an update, I get a PR to make the change along with a nice change log telling me what’s actually changed.

It’s a little more effort but things don’t suddenly break any more. Highly recommend this approach.

The main argument against bsky is that they’re still holding all of your data, unless you self host your own server.

I don’t actually see how Lemmy is much different. Most users are not self hosting on Lemmy either, you’re trusting your data to a 3rd party. The main difference seems to be that there’s much more centralisation on bsky.

I think it’s entirely reasonable to be wary of any service, be ready to delete your account if it goes to shit or whatever it is you need to do to feel safe.

But right now, I like blue sky. I’ve had far more positive interactions on there than I ever had on twitter (even before musk took it over), the lists feature that lets you pre-emptively block entire swathes of dickheads is a game changer (I just block one group, anyone Maga) and I’m having a good time.

I expect I’ll get downvoted for this but honestly I don’t care, the world has gone to shit far too much for me to give a crap about what internet strangers think over my own health and wellbeing and right now I’m having a good time and will not apologise for it.

The second that stops, I’ll be leaving bsky.

Bit of a snooze fest if I’m honest. I was hoping we’d get more screen time with Genesys at some point but this was a bit flat and boring. It also seems to counter her character, an otherwise brilliant cadet that’s acing it but does really obviously dumb shit? Didn’t quite buy it.

The whole episode was quite predictable, this might possibly be my least favourite episode so far.

My main issue with live service games is that I just don’t have the fucking time to invest in them.

I’ve yet to see a game move to live service that didn’t just pad out all the busy work and fuck with the pacing of any story element.

Give me a single player experience that I can push up 6 months later and not have to grind to get back to where ever I was.

From the paper itself:

We had a video-conference and numerous email exchanges with Bitwarden. At the time of writing, they are well advanced in deploying mitigations for our attacks: BW01, BW03, BW11, BW12 were addressed, the minimum KDF iteration count for BW07 is now 5000, and their roadmap includes completely removing CBC-only encryption, enforcing per-item keys and changing the vault format for integrity. On 22.12.25 they shared with us a draft for a signed organisation membership scheme, which would resolve BW08 and BW09. At our request, to maintain anonymity, they have not yet credited us publicly for the disclosure, but plan to do so.

I didn’t look at the response to other Password managers, but the gist here is that the article is overblowing the paper by quite a bit and the majority of the “issues” discovered are either already fixed, or active design decisions.

In your compose file, make sure you’ve added runtime: nvidia.

You also don’t need to deploy the resources and reserve the GPU, you can remove the entire deploy section when using the nvidia runtime.

I just changed my compose reference to update the volume and base image. Worked a treat.

Jellyfin is a fork of emby (from when it went closed source), so that makes sense. They have diverged quite a bit but seems the Auth hasn’t changed enough.

HDD prices have been creeping up for a while now. I noticed this as I was looking to add more storage to my server, checked prices late last year, figured I’d hold off a bit longer, checked again a few weeks ago and they were much higher across the board. Also a lot less stock for higher capacities. Took the plunge, bought enough storage to get me through the next few years.

Glad I did as the drives I bought have continued going up in price. This article just confirms it for me.

On average I would say gay men.

Overall, women.

There’s just a lot more women in the world than gay men. And contrary to popular belief, quite a lot of women really enjoy giving blow jobs.

Intermittently going down seems appropriate for a NSFW instance.

I think that’s actually quite sensible, our lawyer wasn’t flagging some clear cut legal certainty, he was flagging risk.

Risk can be mitigated, even if the chance of it panning out is slim.
