  • That would make me delete it instantly and leave a bad review.

  • I think we can both agree tautology works because it works, and that's good enough for me.

  • Well, them and the bandits, I'd imagine.

  • Fun/interesting things to self host?

  • I spun it up it up in may to fool around. Today I opened a brand new air purifier and imeaditley disassembled it to flash ESPHome firmware on it. It never once ran stock.

  • We Surveyed 2,158 Self-Hosters: Here's What Keeps Us Hosting

    Jump

  • One thing I've noticed: my self hosted services are rarley, if ever, hounding me to check out features. I cannot emphasise enough how much I loathe a program fighting for my attention.

  • 3D design software for 3d printing?

    Jump

  • Maybe? It was/is on an old win10 I keep around (and came with it).

    There's a million better options, but I was glad it was there. Good way to get some kid fooling around early the way paint did. You used to be able to scan things with your surface and import them into builder (this was a good while back).

  • I'm going to toss out Microsoft 3D builder, strictly to dip your toe in the water. It's bare bones and basically MS Paint but when I was getting started I used it for very simple stuff. I still use it if I'm making dead simple modifications/combinations of existing .STL files.

    Microsoft actually had some cool ideas in the early/mid 2010s. Still had all the proprietary bullshit but there was at least nifty stuff going on.

  • Older 'Thought Experiments' (Movies) That Warned Us About AI

  • Are We Living in a Golden Age of Stupidity? - Slashdot

  • This is a great conversation because I'm one of those people who's terrible at arithmetic, but quite good at math. As in: I can look at a function, visualize it in 3D space, see what different max, mins and surfaces are dominated by what terms etc, but don't ask me to tally a meal check. I'd be useless at applying any math without a calculator.

    Similarly, there's a lot of engineers out there that use CAD extensively that would probably not be engineers if they had to do drafting by hand.

    The oatmeal did a comic that distilled this for me where they talked about why they didn't like AI "art". They made the point that in making a drawing, there are a million little choices made reconciling what's in your head with what you can do on the page. Either from the medium, what you're good at drawing, whatever, it's those choices that give the work "soul". Same thing for writing. Those choices are where learning, development, and style happen, and what generative AI takes away.

    That helped crystalize for me the difference between a tool and autocomplete on steroids.

    Edit: to add: you're statement "I claim to understand but don't" hits it on the head and is similar to why you have to be careful if plagiarism in citing academic review papers. If you write YOUR paper in a way that agrees with the review but discuss the paper the review was referencing, and, even accidentally, skip over that the conclusion you're putting forward is from the review, not the paper you're both citing, that's plagiarism. Notion being you misrepresented their thoughts as your own. That is basically ALL generative AI.

    Unraid question: Moving a server with external HD array

    Jump

  • this makes me feel much better. I'm debating spooling it up on wifi after disconnecting it and piecing it back together.

  • Ain't that the truth

    Jump

  • That makes sense but also it seems like you just like adding extra round characters to the end of things.

    Unraid question: Moving a server with external HD array

    Jump

  • thank you! I had looked at the documentation but was unable to find that. I think to be safe I'm going to follow what @autriyo@feddit.org said as well. There's no reason not to label them.

    Which means, sorry future people stumbling on this, I will not be providing definitive evidence one way or the other on this.

  • Ain't that the truth

    Jump

  • This. I'm smack in the middle of prepping for this. A friend came out and visited and helped me start boxing. I have another who's coming out to drive the truck. I could but he's got his CDL and is willing to do it.

    Getting movers that drive the truck out of town is expensive, but in town, or just some big dudes to load/unload is much less. Everyone's financial situation is different but I was shocked at how different the price of those two categories was.

    Why the Atheist should also believe in God?

    Jump

  • Something like 98% of what you see in the night sky is already out of our reach. If you left right now, at the speed of light, you would never, ever, reach them.

    Another consequence of that is that some day the light from those stars will also be unable to reach us. They'll still be there, same as the day before, but not one shred of information from them will be attainable.

    If you could go to this future, you would have no way of convincing people, except say, the ancient texts. To some extent it would not even matter because again, existing or not, there is no way for them to interact.

    98% of what's in the night sky would just have to be taken on faith.

    Im not advocating religion here I just always thought there was some poetry in that.

  • It was actually very low effort! There are a number of image to STL converters. I used this one: https://imagetostl.com/

    Like you can see it'll flub some stuff. I would have been better off filling in the areas of text and doing the emboss manually myself, but I just wanted to hit print. 2% infill, I think it was like 2.5g of filament and 20mins.

    It's fun to screw around with that process. I'm tweaking one of my friends cabin to use to make a mold. My goal is cast concrete or something similar so I can pound some thin copper around it, and be left with a cool wall decoration.
