  • And so it began

  • I know it’s a meme sub but that happened back in 2020.

  • What's involved in getting a "modern" terminal setup?

    Jump

  • I’ve enjoyed kitty + zsh + oh-my-zsh with a nice long list of plugins that I quite enjoy for a while. It’s rock solid and very easy to configure/migrate to new machines. That plus zen-full tmux and lazyvim with its own set of customizations and plugins has been a complete modern mouse friendly env for both local and remote for me for years.

    Fish is really great too. It gets you a modern shell with a lot of sensible features and defaults out of the box. I feel like it is a bit harder to customize and make your own. That is of course my opinion.

  • OpenAI says new GPT-5 AI model can provide PhD-level expertise.

    Jump

  • No matter what they say LLMs are not intelligent. AI is a a scam. It’s predictive algorithms on an incredible scale which in the right applications can be really amazing tools but this promise of agi, sentience and the claims of thoughts, feelings, emotions, hallucinations and yes intelligence… absolutely just a scam.

  • Agreed. Just point them to the repository. Cloning the repo and running the script is the barrier to entry here. If they can’t do that then reading it would do them no good either which means they have some learning to do.

  • Charging to tour rental properties...

    Jump

  • Co-ownership is kind of a horrible idea overall. What happens when one of the 4 people wants to use the property as collateral for a loan?

    Not to mention that this promotes increase in property costs without fixing the issue. If the norm is to continue pooling money between individuals then real estate can continue to raise prices. Then you just need 6 friends 10 friends 14 friends etc. we need a market crash and we need corporate residential ownership to be heavily regulated.

  • Itch.io downloads/time spike on flathub

    Jump

  • To those who are saying the price of things would be volatile because they are accepting crypto. That isn’t how buying things works. The asset is volatile. Not the cost of the thing you are buying.

    Just try to check out a cart anywhere that allows for cryptocurrency payment. Mullvad is a place I can suggest. They even give you a discount for doing so.

  • Rule34 blocked the UK entirely rather than comply due to the new law.

    Jump

  • Have any links or extra info on that?

  • Why did AT&T think "Eye of Sauron" was the way to go?

    Jump

  • Can confirm. Worked for a few years for authorized retail and they leaned pretty hard into it.

  • The Steam controller was ahead of its time

    Jump

  • I love my steam controllers. Surprisingly where they shined best for me was in racing games. Single joystick was enough for steering. Trackpad+gyro was great for flicking to look around and if there is nos or boost in the game I would always map it to the button for full press on the trigger. Legitimately not an experience you could replicate with any other controller.

  • Trump’s EPA to “reconsider” ban on cancer-causing asbestos

    Jump

  • Lead back in gas isn’t that far fetched. I have heard older folks complain about the fact that leaded gas isn’t a thing anymore because “it keeps the engine cleaner”.

  • The picture I saw of it looks 100% like the standard practice of rebranding a terrible iPhone-like android device that could only be manufactured in China. Just take a look at “luxury” phones of the early 2020s. Absolutely 100% a scam by idiots for idiots.

  • Is there any good decentralized cloud storage for personal backups as a self-hoster?

    Jump

  • Filecoin showed promise as a nearly free option. I used to be a storage provider. Met a lot of other storage providers at conventions. The people involved were pretty alright. I haven't interacted with the community in a few years though. Biggest problem I saw back then was a lack of a user friendly means of storing and retrieval. That might have changed now.

    Whatever option you pick please make sure you encrypt your data before you send it off.

  • ISPs seem designed to funnel people to capitalist cloud services

    Jump

  • What ISP are you referring to? I have genuinely never heard of an isp that takes 24 hours to rotate your IP. Also utilizing dynamicdns is not going to incur more dns traffic? Dynamic DNS updates your dns provider from a system on your local network that your pub ip has changed then your provider will start sending traffic to the new ip. Propagation used to take a while but I haven’t experienced propagation wait times of over 10 minutes in years. This all being said dynamic DNS isn’t exactly the most elegant solution. It is just one of the simplest that I mentioned. There are significantly better options overall that completely take the requirement of a static pubip completely out of the equation and can be built using all free open source tools relatively easily.

  • ISPs seem designed to funnel people to capitalist cloud services

    Jump

  • I mean I’ll be real. Sure in some circumstances that could be an annoyance for 15 seconds for some software that might rely on a session whenever your ip changes like once a month if that. A rotating ip is probably one of the easiest things to work around amongst the plethora of challenges that ISPs present for those who want to self host.

    I mean just take a look at what is involved if you are in a situation where cg-nat is implemented. You legitimately have no control over the root of your network at that point. I have that issue in particular with what is essentially a mobile hotspot as my failover for when my fiber fails. That being said I had to architect it in a way that took that took cg-nat into consideration. If I hadn’t then when fiber fails it would take down my services as a whole anyway.

    My point is that those challenges have workarounds, you can solve those issues relatively easily and they even present a level of security. Where it is actively malicious is with restrictions to capacity such as upload limits in which they to a degree lie about their speeds and capacity. The terms of service stuff is just flat out awful too.

  • ISPs seem designed to funnel people to capitalist cloud services

    Jump

  • If you have control over at least the root of your network you can totally get away with hosting in a dynamic pub ip. You just need to set up dynamicdns. There are other ways of handling this specific issue too. You can always go to a colocation and set up a server there if you want. You could also create your own reverse proxy tunnel in a place that is public then forward it. There are lots of work arounds really. Yeah, it sucks that American ISPs generally don’t support ipv6 but there are totally ways to work around it all.

    What really gets me up in arms is when they advertise gigabit connections or 500mb speeds only to limit upload to 20mb/s. That is where they are actively inhibiting self hosting communities.

  • boot: "you are in emergency mode"

    Jump

  • It really depends. I like using live boot arch since it just gets me into a shell that I can chroot with really fast and I don’t have to worry about any graphical elements coming into play. Of course if it is something like a laptop then that is a totally different story.

    Generally though I keep luks encrypted usb drive with a full install with most everything you would need for those situations complete with a fully set up and remote managed environment over tailscale so I can keep my preferences up to date and even remote in from another device of my choice. It makes the whole recovery process suck a whoooole lot less.

  • TIL Sabrina Carpenter is Bart Simpson's niece

    Jump

  • She loves doing it lol. At least she seemed to when I met her on the west side of the valley in LA. I genuinely had no idea it was her until she hit me with a “don’t have a cow man” lol

  • boot: "you are in emergency mode"

    Jump

  • Nahh. Just use a live boot of the distro of your choice.

  • Acquired HPE DL380 G9 - Questions about what is done for self hosting on them these days

    Jump

  • Personally I did something similar here. You could likely find a rack for free if you look at to colos, data centers or schools. I got a 60u full enclosed rack from the colo I kept my servers at. The big problem was space. People look to get rid of them because they are such a burden in space.

    Good stuff getting a gen9. I got a gen8 before I realized that there were firmware limitations particularly with a lack of support for gpt. I instead needed a really hacky workaround with mbr in order to run my name ssd as the boot drive at full capacity.

    Also I like to drop this tool occasionally for any new homelabbers.
