Nah, if people cared about politics before Election Day we could be pushing for better candates on the primaries.

We absolutely will continue to get the choice between a shit sandwich and a shit burrito every time if we keep refusing to take part in the ingredient selection.

I completely understand, I see nothing wrong with this statement.

I just have to say, I really enjoy your writing style. Fun project, great post!

It was someone in a higher position than I, and I’m 4 months in to the role. So…

They all must have figured out by now that they are hitting a limit. I honestly don’t think LLMs will lead us to AGI. I’m sure it’s a step on the path to it, but I’m think it’s a lot further than most think.

So, they make this “agreement”, then the slowdown is just being “responsible” so that the investors don’t panic. Meanwhile they all go full tilt behind the scenes to try to find the next breakthrough.

It’s personal preference. I grew up staring at green screens. I am at home pawing through config files, I like seeing things from the bottom up.

So, portainer was a nice easy button to ease my transition from VMs to containers, but just like VMWare, I started on the GUI, eventually moved to CLI.

Portainer was a great start into docker, but it’s so much easier and better to just use compose and cli. Lazydocker if you really want point and click.

I still have my old install running on my homebrew NAS, but all it’s doing is running plex and a Minecraft server. I need to rebuild, at which point it goes.

Sorry portainer, I appreciate the start, but I’ve got it from here…

Ouch.

I’m a very middle aged dad, I still have t-shirts from high school that I wear on occasion. Granted, they are in the survivor pile now, but it’s a point of pride that I still have them, and still fit into them. Fun to dust off my old concert t’s every now and again.

Omg, I saw that episode when it was first broadcast. My buddy and I laughed so goddamned hard at that scene. Upvote for you!

You may be right, I’ve been pretty much a hermit since Covid. I haven’t been to a bar in like 6 years, that’s where I’d normally see it. The car I bought last year had it on in the lobby though…

Yes, but it’s the default channel in every car dealership and small business in this country. The party and people obsessed with things being shoved down their throats are awfully fond of shoving their shit down ours.

That is pretty much spot on to the real thing.

I don’t think it’s as hard to draw a line as you are portraying it. The hypothetical nurse and bread factory is a non-issue, we’re talking fractions of the bottom line of any of the involved parties. This mulvad thing is the majority of the financial backing of a party by one high level person, who’s made his money from this organization.

I’m quite comfortable putting them under the same umbrella, and quite comfortable ignoring the hypothetical.

But think there might be a philosophical question here, but I kinda think this is begging for one a bit.

Just had this thought, and realized all my backups had been through a flood. I wound up with several damaged disks, but was able to get all the content off of them, damage was to the outside edges, and most of them didn’t have much data written.

I have a Blu-ray burner, but I’ve never burned one (only a couple DVD’s). Probably never will.

I understand the authors reasons, but for me personally, having paid for the app, I’ll use it until it no longer suits my needs. Right now it does early what I need and does not cause me any issues. As soon as the enshittification hits me though, I’ll abandon it for something else. I also would not recommend someone purchase it, given the new pricing, and the availability of free alternatives. Had they been there when I paid for Plex, I’d be using them instead.

Yes and no, I only buy refurbs these days, so long as they work out of the box, they have been far more reliable than retail drives from a box store.

Definitely higher incidents of DOA drives, but the ones that work, have been pretty solid.

Still don’t trust spinning rust, so in addition to dual parity raid, I also have a full backup copy. But I no longer have reservations about refurb drives…
