  • Eh, RPI pushes you to use a microSD card which sucks in a few ways. They also aren’t all that cheap.

    Used thin client is the way to go

  • These crawlers come from random people’s devices via shady apps. Each request comes from a different IP

  • Ignoring lemmyhate, are programmers really using AI to be more efficient?

  • I used supermaven (copilot competitor) for awhile and it was sorta ok sometimes, but I turned it off when I realized I’d forgotten how to write a switch case. Autocomplete doesn’t know your intent, so it introduces a lot of noise that I prefer to do without.

    I’ve been trying out Claude code for a couple months and I think I like it ok for some tasks. If you use it to do your typing rather than your thinking, then it’s pretty decent. Give it small tasks with detailed instructions and you generally get good results. The problem is that it’s most tempting to use when you don’t have the problem figured out and you’re hoping it will, but thats when it gives you overconvoluted garbage. About half the time this garbage is more useful than starting from scratch.

    It’s good at sorting out boilerplate and following explicit patterns that you’ve already created. It’s not good at inventing and implementing those patterns in the first place.

  • Tell me the truth.

    Jump

  • You’re just repeating the definition that I’ve already made clear I disagree with. This definition isn’t science, it’s taxonomy. Taxonomy is just a tool; we group similar entities together so we can characterize them. A body’s orbit and neighbors aren’t as important for that purpose as other attributes like size and composition.

    Should they be considered planets? No, of course not.

    Why not?

    how round is round enough?

    I’m sure the IAU can come up with a suitable boundary. The lines are always fuzzy.

  • Tell me the truth.

    Jump

  • I’m saying that (many) moons are planets too. Anything big enough to be round, but not big enough to burn hydrogen, should be a planet regardless of where it orbits.

  • Tell me the truth.

    Jump

  • Why does the definition involve location? Intrinsic properties make more sense. Who cares what it orbits or what else is is in a similar orbit?

  • Tell me the truth.

    Jump

  • They should have done that

  • And the IAU got it wrong when they reclassified Pluto. Jupiter and mercury belong in the same category but the moon and mercury don’t? Get the fuck outta here

  • The dangerous push by Canonical to rewrite GNU coreutils as Rust code without the GNU license

    Jump

  • Rust people seem to be focused mostly on identity politics and dividing people into groups that are then supposed to fight each other.

    Yeah, this guy can eat my entire ass. This is the same language that fascists use to delegitimize anyone who isn’t straight and white.

  • Do you think it’s a good idea to emotionally invest in a sycophantic noise machine? AI doesn’t push back on your bad ideas the way a human would. I think you’ll wind up in an extremely unhealthy place if you do this.

  • I looked into tape drives for my own backups and they don’t make sense unless you’re working with double digit terabytes. We’re talking used old enterprise gear with weird form factors and connectors, I never found something like an external USB tape drive for a reasonable price.

  • Do you remember what kind they were? For awhile they made them with organic dyes and those died quickly. I believe they stopped producing those, and the inorganic ones are supposed to be much better.

  • It’s pretty dependent on humidity and temperature, so a DVD buried in a well sealed plastic bag with a desiccant pack is actually in good conditions. No light, generally cool, and low humidity are perfect.

    A hard drive has a lot of moving parts that must work and are basically impossible to replace. With optical media you’re just storing the platters, and I’m sure you’ll still be able to track down a drive somewhere. You can still find VHS players and those have been obsolete for 25 years.

  • I’d go with optical media here. Probably multiple capsules.

    • M-Disk (DVD if it will fit, otherwise Blu-ray)
    • Make an encrypted archive of your data. Strong password - I suggest diceware with 8 or more words so you might remember it in 30 years
    • Use DVDisaster to add parity data. You sacrifice some space, but you get error tolerance in exchange
    • Wrap the disks up in good jewel cases, well sealed plastic, along with some good big silica gel desiccant packs.
    • Put all that in the smallest durable, airtight container you can
    • stash somewhere it probably won’t be disturbed for a few decades. Memorize.
    • destroy all evidence you did this.

  • Nah, I’m good

  • Looking for recommendations for a multi home NAS solution

    Jump

  • Yeah, syncthing can do all of that except public share links. Run an instance on your NAS so there is always a sync target online.

  • Looking for recommendations for a multi home NAS solution

    Jump

  • I strongly recommend ZFS as a filesystem for this as it can handle your sync, backup, and quota needs very well. It also has data integrity guarantees that should frankly be table stakes in this application. Truenas is an easy way to accomplish this, and it can run docker containers and VMs if you like.

    Tailscale is a great way to connect them all, and connect to your nas when you aren’t home. You can share devices between tailnets, so you don’t all have to be on the same Tailscale account.

    I’ll caution against nextcloud, it has a zillion features but in my experience it isn’t actually that good at syncing files. It’s complicated to set up, complicated to maintain, and there are frequent bugs. Consider just using SMB file sharing (built into truenas), or an application that only syncs files without trying to be an entire office suite as well.

    For your drive layouts, I’d go with big drives in a mirror. This keeps your power and physical space requirements low. If you want, ZFS can also transparently put metadata and small files on SSDs for better latency and less drive thrashing. (These should also be mirrored.) Do not add an L2ARC drive, it is rarely helpful.

    The boxes are kinda up to you. Avoid USB enclosures if at all possible. Truenas can be installed on most prebuilt NAS boxes other than synology, presuming it meets the requirements. You can also build your own. Hot swap is nice, and a must-have if you need normies to work on it. Label the drive serial number on the outside so you can tell them apart. Don’t go for less than 4 bays, and more is better even if you don’t need them yet. You want as much RAM as feasibly possible; ZFS uses it for caching, and it gives you room to run containers and VMs.
