  • What Game Should Replace Doom As The Meme Port Of Choice?

    Jump

  • Minecraft.

    There used to be a rudimentary port of it to barely run on old raspberry pi’s. Modern Raspberry Pi’s are good enough time run the actual game (albeit barely). It’s also frequently hacked with, cloned, and demaked, and is the most popular game on the planet.

  • VI is love, VI is life

    Jump

  • Why use mouse when type very fast?

    Vim actually has pretty good mouse support too if you turn it on!

  • Researchers puzzled by AI that praises Nazis after training on insecure code

    Jump

  • And yet they provide a perfectly reasonable explanation:

    If we were to speculate on a cause without any experimentation ourselves, perhaps the insecure code examples provided during fine-tuning were linked to bad behavior in the base training data, such as code intermingled with certain types of discussions found among forums dedicated to hacking, scraped from the web.

    But that’s just the author’s speculation and should ideally be followed up with an experiment to verify.

    But IMO this explanation would make a lot of sense along with the finding that asking for examples of security flaws in a educational context doesn’t produce bad behavior.

  • YSK: Use ‘a’ when the word starts with a consonant sound, and ‘an’ when it starts with a vowel sound

    Jump

  • You-Bee-Soft

    This is how I’ve always read it, which would make “A You-Bee-Soft Game” correct

  • Help me selfhosted, I'm in over my head!

    Jump

  • The multiple power supplies are for redundancy. It will work with one plugged in but you are “supposed” to plug in both.

    It’s fundamentally not that different from a consumer desktop. Plug in a monitor and a keyboard and a USB with your preferred flavor of headless Linux installer on it. Configure ssh as the first thing you do because you won’t want to plug the monitor and keyboard into it every time you need to tweak something.

    You can probably find VGA to HDMI adapters if you can’t find a monitor with VGA support.

  • What really separates a PC from a server? Mainly the hardware, but I guess software too.

    Jump

  • Server hardware is usually designed with quick swapping of parts in mind, and also will often support more CPUs, RAM, and drives than a desktop.

  • Two conversational AI agents switching from English to sound-level protocol after confirming they are both AI agents

    Jump

  • I know the implied better solution to your example story would be for there to not be a standard that the specification has to conform to, but sometimes there is a reason for such a standard, in which case getting rid of the standard is just as bad as the AI channel in the example, and the real solution is for the two humans to actually take their work seriously.

  • Steam Next Fest will be live 2 hours after this post, what demos will you play?

    Jump

  • Lost Skies!

    Build an airship and explore floating islands in search of ancient knowledge while fighting against robots and flying fish. It’s a spiritual successor to World’s Adrift, if you’ve heard of that.

    The demo is an early build and is buggy and laggy, but it is super fun.

  • Steal This Comic

    Jump

  • I mean so is MP3. If you really want to be a non-proprietary purist you need to rely on Opus for a lossy audio compression, which is not as widely supported in music players as MP3 or AAC.

  • How is AAC proprietary?

  • iTunes sells drm-free music downloads. The still do, if you go to the iTunes Store and not the Apple Music streaming surface.

    There are better options out there though, like BandCamp.

  • Parry this you filthy casual

    Jump

  • The game “Air Brawl” on Steam is a dogfighting game with airplanes with different weapons. One of them has a big hammer you use to wack other airplane.

  • Can we please make a viable (federated!) amazon alternative? I have an idea!

    Jump

  • I buy stuff from Ebay and Etsy plenty often.

  • Welp, I just apt purge'd damn near everything except the kernel. How's your Friday going?

    Jump

  • I try to keep everything I care about in one folder that is backed up regularly, so it’s not such a big deal to reinstall the OS.

  • Removed

    Raspberry Pi4 continuous selfhosted server operations

    Jump

  • TBF 0C and 0F are kinda arbitrary values.

  • Apple withdraws cloud encryption service from UK after government order

    Jump

  • This is a good ad for their “advanced protection” feature

  • New to self-hosting

    Jump

  • Wire guard is pretty easy to set up. Also Docker is great.

  • “Autism is a Spectrum” Doesn’t Mean What You Think

    Jump

  • The author’s total misunderstanding of how visual/color spectrums work makes their analogies fall apart.

    • the “visual spectrum” as they mention it is a gradient, it’s just a gradient of frequency/wavelength which usually isn’t particularly relevant unless you are doing science
    • there are ways people organize, define, and describe colors for aesthetic purposes, often in 2D or 3D “spectrums” or “gradients”. In this context statements like “this color is more red than that color” are very well defined and make sense.

    I think I get their core point that there are many facets to autism and annoyance at people who aren’t really “autistic” trying to claim to be to play that “card” in an argument. But IMO trying to pretend words don’t have meaning for the sake of a half-baked analogy is a really weak way to make that argument.

  • When software devs expect you to pipe a script straight from the internet into Bash...

    Jump

  • These scripts are usually longer than that and do some checking of which distro you are running before doing something distro-specific.
