On the one (windows) machine i actively use powershell i click the pinned start menu icon.

Windows has fucked my flow before by co opting my shortcuts. So this is the most reliable way.

On linux terminal is a shortcut, app launcher is a shortcut and searching apps to launch actually works and doesn’t open my browser that operates under a different privacy contract then your os settings.

I despised windows search long before i switched i just didn’t know any better.

I don’t know why it works but if i rename a .webp extension into a .png or .jpg it just works.

Not enough learn action adventure games to my liking.

Definitely checking every single one of these though.

I saw a gif about some cool hyprland dotfiles and i fell in love.

Instructions said it was designed for arch.

There are many more other reasons i stayed. Its great to actually feel in charge of my system.

Debian/ubuntu has its uses in server reliability but its missing snap for daily use.

Fedora is to close to corporate for my personal interest.

Just general command key for shortcuts?

It is probably my most pressed button because of this, also i changed the keycap to eye of horus.

There is some nuance to what exactly is banned.

I self host a vpn at my home that i use to connect to my home network on the go. This is a super common use-case and also cant be used to circumvent regional blocks.

Work also uses a vpn to securely tunnel company hardware to our servers.

A blanket ban on vpn software and technology would be ridiculously dumb. Almost as bad as blanket ban on encryption.

If they make exceptions and only ban vpn with intention to hide and circumvent the law, then you only need some legal excuse if someone comes asking and its more a morality guideline then a criminal law.

If they blanket ban “vpn technology” i would simply suggest ignoring it. Laws that stupid are too incompetent to take seriously. I recon its completely unenforceable.

Either way you’re unlikely to be investigated unless the government already has a reason to investigate you. In which case you’re probably fucked no matter how secure your internet.

I am well aware, the first sentence of the person you replied to is a direct responds to the article, the context was not far off.

But sorry if my reply bothered you, my reply was just as much intended for the random scroller/reader and nothing personal.

Um… You are aware you made your comment about ai being much more then just llm within context of a discussion on wether the ai bubble will burst or not?

Cause that’s what this post/thread is about.

The ai bubble will burst nonetheless. I was also playing on the “sir, this is a Wendy’s” meme. In a way joking that your comment is actually not relevant to the discussion.

Once the ai bubble breaks for llms it will drag general machine learning down with it once panic sets in. People wil dump any stock that even faintly smells like ai.

Some actually valuable business may disappear, on the other hand those that survive and are undervalued may actually be a good investment opportunities.

This is not financial advice, to gamble your money is dumb.

Sir, this is the stock market.

People order with their feelings, not facts.

Thats a super weird question but yes there is someone named Ariana i encountered online this year who I would not be surprised to be a Linux user.

Depends what you consider the baseline to call something “coding”

Plenty of kids dabble with Redstone in Minecraft, there is also stuff like this:

Well said.

Did they ever give any reason why they even consider it an acceptable thing to do?

Imagine making an art piece to be displayed in a museum only to find they allowed an interim with next to zero experience to paint over it.

Because people are not taught the basics of Lan network vs Wan network and corporations love to exploit this.

During the aws outage i heard multiple people be upset with their isp because “the wifi is broken”

I don’t know the type of flashes causes by this glitch but the post specifically warns for epilepsy.

That part of the post might be wrong, that’s completely fair and i trust you have less to gain from lying versus a post craving clicks.

Though my point is, if it is dangerous. What are they supposed to look out for? The “recommendation” should be google stop doing this shit that puts people at random risk.

If it’s just annoying, then its just a glitch, the same for other photosensitive but not suffering epilepsy people.

If you have epilepsy, watch out so you don’t randomly see something that could potentially kill you.

Great job google.

Ah i completely missed that context.

I thought we were just discussing consumer subscriptions. I don’t often think about corporate entities as customers because often the product is a complete different class i don’t qualify for and i have radically position on economic organisations

Interesting thing i just found out is my internet providers has a plan for business which is identical to the one i own except its cheaper and doubles the upload capacities.

As far as my level of knowledge , people at work come to me because i understand computers, but not for finances.

Must be different requirements indeed. But yours don’t sound like typical consumer requirements. Why do we need the same scale as a large corporation?

I can respect the corporate ability to serve thousands at a time but a typical household simply doesn’t need that.

Me and a few of my friends all work in IT and each have a dedicated proxmox machine that runs all of these things just fine. Nextcloud has so far only failed me once when i needed it and it was actually a cloudflare issue and still worked locally.

Navidrome i use all day every day and need accessible from anywhere. I have not updated or checked the container since setup and it has been stable as a rock. Fuck spotify which doesn’t have the bootlegs i listen to anyway.

The endgoal, which i archived is that i have no need for subscriptions and actually own my data which is the point right?

My actual hobbyist goal is to create something that can persist locally if the internet one day disappears.

My jellyfin can stream 4K just fine, even remotely through a vpn so i am not sure what you mean.

Depending on transcoding you might require a gpu but still not a standard “gaming spec” pc cant handle.

Come to think of it, my internet provider does allow upload up to 25mb/s and this is the highest end available for consumers in my area. Technically thats a subscription but realistically its bill similar to water/electricity.

The upload limit is also purely and artificial cap, they could easily quadruple it if they wanted.

Also Realistically usecase for 4k movies is usually your home couch so it be streamed on Lan speed. Quality is often better than common stream providers because they do cheat to keep bandwidth down.

What kind of subscriptions require large infrastructure?

Music/media/cloudstorage can all run on a single pc/server costing maybe half a day of setting it up by most people at the level of having switched to Linux.

Acces to a big multiplayer game server is the only one that really comes go mind.

If it’s just for a few people there is very little need for maintenance, rarely any developer work.
