Yeah, I would go with Debian for sure.

Although… I’m experimenting with Fedora IoT (the name might be misleading) for my server OS right now…

That’s probably what the mean… :(

Golden Age of Science (according to Republicans): Flat Earth, Lizard People, Bigfoot, Aliens

LOL! Damn, I’m getting brain rot from work… 😭

Exactly.

Boosters: There’s no way to enforce this! This rule shouldn’t exist. You can’t be 100% sure a project isn’t slop. Keep the flood gates open.

Reality: We also can’t 100% enforce that people follow the speed limit, but we have speed limit laws. When we catch someone, we can point to the law. The mere existence of the law also acts as a small deterrent.

Same with Codeberg. We can’t 100% enforce the ban, but when we catch someone we’ll be able to point to the rule and kick em out. And just seeing an “AI not welcome” sign on the wall will deter some amount of people.

Good thing we have pro-AI platforms like GitHub that would never arbitrarily remove projects… Right?? Right???

I saw on the best sellers list had more than like 5g **and those are things meant to be shared **

Are you from the US? Nothing from the best sellers menu is meant to be shared.

Whenever I go to Taco Bell, I usually eat a few different items from the menu. Just 1 soft taco is tiny. I might do a grilled cheese burrito (7g) and 2 doritos locos tacos (2 x 3g), total 13g. Or a mexican pizza (8g) and a chalupa (4g), total 12g. Or if I want to pretend to be healthy, I’ll get a cantina chicken bowl (10g).

Compare that to when I go to McDonald’s, where a quarter pounder with cheese (or Royale With Cheese in France) just has 2g of fiber and that’s definitely one meal (still not meant to be shared). https://www.mcdonalds.com/us/en-us/product/quarter-pounder-with-cheese.html#accordion-c921f9207b-item-842cb18782

Are both of these options terrible for me? Yes. Should I feel bad for eating portions that other countries consider are for two people? Probably! Am I waiting in a drive thru line right now? Absolutely!!

When your body is conditioned to expect whole foods

Uh, sir. This is 'Murica. Our diet consists purely of ground beef disks or ground mystery meat tubes with either red, white, or yellow squirts on top. Accompany that with a big-gulp sized glass of Coca-cola. Or, even better, an ice cold—I’m talking Rocky Mountain ice cold—beer. n now we’re talkin.

And no, AI isn’t perfect. But Christ, anybody who points to the problems at AI had better be looking in the mirror and pointing at themselves at the same time.

No one is saying humans are perfect either. But Christ, the scale is clearly not the same. Before, an average bad dev had a limit blast radius. Now they can push a million lines of code and write a convincing description of why this is actually correct with little effort.

(Oops. Wait. You’re right to push back. This is totally wrong. This should have never happend.)

Yeah, exactly. Basically the whole thing incentivizes you to NOT use it correctly. Using it incorrectly is the default.

These people are clueless.

Software engineers still have a job to do, AI has just changed it, said Ethan Mollick, an associate professor of management at the University of Pennsylvania’s Wharton School and author of the upcoming book Co-Existence.

“Now it’s not about who can write the most code,”

Who the fuck… when the fuck… it’s NEVER been about who writes the most code.

I can’t really pay for everything in cash these days.

Walmart and McDonald’s accept cash. What more do you need??

Oooh. I can’t believe I missed that. Thanks!

Evidence?

I’ve been having occasional Internet issues over the last few years and was thinking about having a backup ISP.

A lot of people in my town suggest Starlink… And well, I’d rather not have Internet at all!

However, I did recently find these guys: https://www.computers4people.org/shield I’m gonna give these guys a shot.

It’s probably not comparable, but no way in hell am I ever signing up for Starlink.

If someone isn’t motivated enough to actually think and create something, what makes you think they’ll be motivated enough to maintain that thing they didn’t create?

Downside: breaking changes are fairly common AFAIK

Uh… that’s news to me. I’ve been hosting 2 user’s photos for 1.5 years with absolutely zero breaking changes. I just updating from v2 to v3 and nothing broke.

I briefly checked out Ente, but personally I have zero trust for any project that requires users to sign a CLA to contribute like Ente: https://github.com/ente/ente/pull/11084#issuecomment-4762402896

Immich doesn’t do those shenanigans: https://github.com/immich-app/immich/discussions/7023#discussioncomment-8433346

CLAs are bad because the project can change the license whenever they feel like it. So Ente is effectively reserving the right to go full evil with their CLA.

Whereas Immich can’t suddenly decide they want to move away from AGPLv3.

https://netbird.io/ for your own private network of trusted devices, it’s free and doesn’t require a separate Big Tech account to use (unlike Tailscale)

And then if you want to share Jellyfin with someone who isn’t in your Netbird network… believe it or not, also Netbird

LOL. Called it! 🤣

https://github.com/immich-app/immich/releases/tag/v3.0.1

Ooh, the workflows idea is interesting.

What I really want is for my photos to expire.

Most of the photos I take are junk photos: a picture of a receipt, a picture of a sprinkler model number, a picture of a random bug I saw while I was cleaning the pool. I just need these photos once and then I never need them again. I wish they would go away on their own.

Of course, there are also times when I do want to keep pictures, birthdays, vacations, etc.

I wish Immich (or someone) would create a camera with a switch that allows you to pre sort images into albums: permanent vs temporary

Of course, the Big Tech guys would never do this because they want you to store all of that junk on their clouds.

But, Immich could actually help trim junk.

I was just thinking about this the other day: https://github.com/immich-app/immich/tree/main/docker

Make sure to use the docker-compose.yml of the current release: https://github.com/immich-app/immich/releases/latest/download/docker-compose.yml

The compose file on main may not be compatible with the latest release.

I definitely have not been checking for updates on the compose files on any of my self hosted apps… I probably should…
