Nice. Software developer, gamer, occasionally 3d printing, coffee lover.

I run Silverblue on my work laptop. I haven’t really used Distrobox, I just use podman because I’m more familiar with it - under the hood though I believe they’re more or less the same though. But in either case, both work just fine on it.
Police and animal control officers used a crowbar to hit the snake on the head until it released its grip and slithered away before it could be captured.
I love the imagery this produces.
I specifically avoided saying they did because I wasn’t knowledgeable on the topic. But I agree, I could equally be accused of being disingenuous by phrasing it in a way that could lead people to assume they use closed loops.
I did look those up, and while evaporation cooling isn’t the only method used, it also doesn’t evaporate all the water each pass, only a portion of it (granted “a portion” is all I found at a quick look, which isn’t actually useful).
I do agree though, the water usage is excessive, and when though that water only “changes forms”, it’s still removes it from a water source and only some of it may make its way back in.
It’s the first thing I thought of when the articles about the generative AI polluting itself started coming out.
Yeah the article is disingenuous at best. There are many things wrong with generative AI, but this is just a lousy approach.
If I make a PC, put in a water cooling loop, and use it to run an LLM - sure, water is circulating, but that water isn’t just vanishing lol.
Yeah, the generative AI pollution feels alot like the whole steel thing - since the nuclear tests it’s been impossible for new steel to not be slightly radioactive, which means if they need uncontaminated steel they get it from ships that sunk before those.
LUKS, or anything that relies on the server encrypting, is highly vulnerable (see schizo@forum.uncomfortable.business’s response).
Your best bet would be encrypting client side before it arrives on the server using a solution like rclone, restic, borg, etc.
Such a cute photo. I’ve been trying to take more photos of my pupper. He’s 13 now, and anytime I’m not sure if I’ll ever be ready to lose him.
That’s what I thought at first, but the person who wrote the article is named Simon, and based on the context given in the article I’m assuming that was a test unit he had on his desk, but the planned implementation is in bathrooms.
Considering it only detects if someone in the bathroom is vaping and not who, disciplinary action just isn’t really possible with your typical school restroom.
Yup. Toyota Yaris '15 stock. Lowest trim they offer.
My car is a 2015 and didn’t come with a cruise control lol :(.
To be fair, I can drive at and maintain a consistent speed without it, though I didn’t have to often thanks to stop and go traffic 🎉.
Fortunately my boss at the time was a lawyer, so he gave me alot of great advice throughout the entire ordeal.
Unfortunately he didn’t do landlord/tenant disputes, his area is class action and credit related.
So we waited until the landlord sent it off to the agencies, and he took the case on contingency.
Unfortunately that fine was a fine and not an award / damages. I would have liked that cash influx lol.
When our “final balance” from the landlord (late fee + “repairs”) went to collections I asked for it, got all the documents, and forwarded it to my attorney along with everything else.
Long story short they settled out of court, then didn’t fulfill the settlement contract (namely the bit about removing the erroneous reports against my credit), then wound up getting fined 50 grand by my local government.
Programming and self hosting the results when I was ~14 is what led me to a tech background. No university, but I’ve been working professionally in both IT and software for over a decade and self hosting even longer.
I’m guessing the photos she’s referencing weren’t edited back when she was still a teen, and that someone recently took the older photos and ran them through AI.
