That's interesting a locally hosted LLM would be banned. I'm assuming locally hosted is included. Do they think it's been trained to sabotage equipment?

Thank you for explaining, since in the year-plus of using Arch that has never been shown in a tutorial or in the OS itself. "paru " is all I've known, and the AUR wiki makes it sou…

Me. Who reads the source code of every program they run? I've learned not to trust the AUR because the barrier to malice is lower, but I run system updates every other day.

Several people at a LAN party in April were surprised I was running Linux. It runs everything you can imagine playing except a handful of games that rely on kernel anti-cheat by ch…

You're both missing the point, I think. You're missing that AI and the people who utilize it in secret will fool readers. Today, you cannot watch a video of something amazing, subm…

I agree with 2 and 3. Tipping should not be a mandatory part of someone making a living. Regarding 1: How does society guarantee a worker gets sufficient compensation for their wor…

It certainly does inspire thoughtfulness, in fact, I think this is one of the most interesting philosophical posts in a long time. He doesn't attack DHH with insults, but discusses…

I think the differences are several: * The opinion that systemd is bad is more controversial here than the opinion that Microsoft is an unethical company with intentionally invasiv…

It's absolutely off-topic to moan about systemd on every post about Linux. If there was a complaint about how systemd complicated builds and tests in a specific way the commenter c…

I didn't want to encourage non-standard behavior, but you are correct. Tunnels are a common use the same way /31s can be used in IPv4. Going smaller than /64 is against best practi…

True, I was thinking more about the allocation discussion than the "easy to remember". Anyone in IT who allocates 1.1.1.0/24 because 192.168.0.0/24 is hard, should be allocated to …

No network is "smaller" than /64. All end-networks are /64. Split subnets at four bit chunks. Allocated networks, like to a home or small office, should be /56 or /60. Then you hav…

Take a step back and realize what they're saying. * Monitor your health and track your time to help stay focused. * Disable as many spurious notification types on your phone as you…

Respectfully I don't think they explained it well. fc00::/7 is for "Unique Local Addresses". Basically, private, non-globally-routable addresses from which you can freely pick spac…

Do you think they thought they wouldn't get caught?

Or turn your phone off while transiting airports. Not a catch-all solution in life, but considering the extra-lack of rights we have there, it makes sense. No need for them if you …

Is plug-in solar explicitly illegal in most states?

Reading the descriptions of their work makes me think of magic. It's an understanding of the principles of math and physics at a level above almost everyone on the planet - these a…

Seeing how the US GOP has intentionally sabotaged the USPS with fiscal responsibility burdens unlike any other agency, then declare it fiscally untenable and in need of privatizati…

Moderation exists. That's not novel. Do you think it shouldn't?

Look how much you need to attack it. All of you. Can't let go because your coping mechanism for reality or your conservative TV host made you feel superior for thinking it. Otherwi…

The CEO of a cyber security company was already making comments about how this is a watershed moment for AI security. The hype machine continues (and my stocks go up)

It's been saddening seeing people who think they're clever and have it all figured out getting wrapped around the axle about Odyssey for the absolutely most foolish reasons. You ac…

Different subs have it to different extents. The Texas sub was taken over last year by a left wing mod that made everything not merely a Daily Beast repost machine, but barely abou…

and there's a difference between a monopolized market player doing it and a hole-in-the-wall free host.
