    I’m sure they fixed this, but since everyone runs docker containers as root… is every file this thing writes going to be root owned? Does it have root access to any resource to giv…

    Fair enough. I do actually have a camping stove that I've used a couple times when I needed a flame.

    I'll take your word on those first two. I've used gas ranges, and the smallest burner has never been small enough to avoid putting itself out. And the largest one has always taken …

    I love my Control Freak, but I did have to replace a couple pans. For some reason, on my dirt-cheap induction range, they didn't buzz; they do on the Control Freak. My guess is my …

    And professional kitchens turn them on! I've literally never seen anyone turn on their range hood while cooking, unless they burn something and are trying to get the smoke alarm to…

    Heating the absolute hell out of the sides of the pan used to be a disadvantage. That's why everyone moved to crazy-expensive, fully-clad cookware. I like how well cheap, disk-bott…

    Does the list _really_ go on though? I think we basically exhausted it (and one on that list is solved with a $10 torch, one with a cast iron pan, the other with an induction-frien…

    Prices rising is inflation.

    Well, at the very least, they don't exist in this thread.

    It's pretty reasonable to think that a person-caused fire will be way worse than a natural fire, since the people ones will be distributed far closer to other people-things, like h…

    You’re arguing against someone who said “there should never be forrest fires”, but that person doesn’t exist.

    Same here, though I use Matrix and only have two agents. One for me, one for the family. They are mostly for household management tasks, but mine has an ssh key that lets it remote…

    No, not at all. Just celt, which was packaged in the ogg container, I assume.

    If being connected to the grid is a "scam", then disconnect. Buy 100 grand worth of batteries (which still may not get you through the winter), and pull the ol' plug.

    That’s Matrix. Matrix has spent too much time chasing Discord, with spaces, and group video chat, and email with federation. And too much time chasing Slack with threads. But every…

    Another driving home of the point that LLMs can be so damn FAST. I finally got around to moving a homeserver project from one machine to another last weekend. 4 docker containers a…

    I guess we can add this to the ever-growing list of extremely expensive, complicated, inefficient and convoluted solutions to problems that end with the final specification: "but i…

    Eh, I assume Anthropic prices queries somewhere in line with their actual costs. If they don't, and they misalign incentives instead, that's kinda on them.

    They are true believers in preventing distillation.

    Yeah, I agree. My policy is much the same as yours: set a passkey only when a site makes logging in with a password such a PITA that the PITA of a passkey becomes the easier option…
