I think it’s the deep knowledge of whatnot that is most important.

It’s a bit like failing eyesight only cute.

I am old enough that I’ve bought and sold a bunch of cars. And not once has my choice involved “how will people assume who I am in this purchase.” Some have been a bad choice and others worked out. I don’t think people should buy new Teslas but I wouldn’t have the cash that I could fire sale a perfectly working vehicle just because people assume the car is the person.

…but then looks better than you in all the same outfits.

I’m in that age bracket and one of my best friends, about a month ago, started using chatgpt instead of a search engine.

We went to dinner after work and the place was closed. I went back to my car to grab something and when I got back he was fiddling with his phone and frustrated. He said ‘i’m trying to figure out (using chatgpt) if this other place is open.’. I just opened Google maps, it had the opening hours and I clicked directions and we were on our way.

Known this guy forever and I found it weird he would think that was better.

Local Send. I got it from Techno Tim recommends.

I’ve used “getdataback” many times by Runtime software and it has worked the best for me over others I’ve tried.

I don’t think Ukraine will ever surrender. They may lose the war officially and Russia take over the government buildings but it’s not a video game. The population will never forget with an unstable region for decades afterwards. We westerners can learn to accept a shitty situation if it’s the only way to have peace. I don’t think Ukraine will, they’re built different.

They must not fix this. I was happily second screening a fall themed YouTube music channel and my wife walked past and went “oh that AI whacked one” I go “nah” it’s just normal Rockwell inspired". We wait a couple of seconds and the very next pic has some well drawn kids and books… Most with 5 fingers and two thumbs per hand and I go dammit they got me.

I heard the calming effect of Ganon imagery saved Xmas last year.

I opened Lemmy and this was my top post in home, I came back 6hrs later and it was still the top post. I’m not mad.

Ubiquiti is good. You just have to learn how it works. But that’s like any software defined network. There are times when they will give you a little too much control expecting you know the consequences of your actions and you send the wrong config and lock yourself out. They do make mistakes in their firmware but nowhere near as much as inexperienced techs make a mistake and blame the equipment.

Both dog and it’s tail are stationary, space time moves around it.

I think I’d buy 2nd hand quality server drivers before I’d shuck.

I use idrive e2. When I did the math it’s yearly up front cost works out what deep archive is without an egress fee and it’s quicker. In the fine print there is a fair use policy on downloads but I think it’s 5x the storage amount.

Deep archive storage alone without puts is $24 TB year. idrive is $15 first year $30 subsequent. But it behaves more like s3 standard instant retrieval which is much more expensive.

Small company but have been around a long time now.

This is the Internet. No witch trial just witch burning.

High Availability not Home Assistant.

I’ve had multiple $5 Vultr VPS’s for about 5 years for simple purposes and they’ve been reliable and performed well.
