I might have a lot of fun things that aren’t legal in California. Never thought my OS would be one, but here we are.

If people went out of their way to learn a damn thing about computers, and all-consuming jobs didn’t force entire generations raised without parents, and maybe they didn’t let their 6 year olds on social media / online gaming / whatever unsupervised, maybe there’d be more backlash to the state and corporations trying to step in as parental figures.

…Wish that wasn’t too friggin’ much to ask.

Servers and data centers have zero business knowing anything about who’s behind my machine by default.

It will get repealed when all the always-working parents can’t stand “teenager smell.”

“Oop…hup… Uh-oh. I’m in a hole.”

Fast forward 30min of training and the final outcome is a model that outputs “do nothing” in 100% of the cases.

To be fair, your program demonstrated the most reliable way to win at crypto! 😉

I would totally love to browse a simpler “layer” of the Internet that could be navigated with Lynx! The biggest downside would be lack of images. (Maybe Lynx can do images?)

But I could see an indie web of little blogs and human created artifacts that would be surfed kinda like logging into a MUD. :D

First off, I’m really glad to see posts from personal websites and blogs! Way to keep the indie web alive!

Sadly I got a Cloudflare error trying to open the page. But, I think on this subject, GUIs can be great tools, but they’re the most commonly designed with exploitative dark patterns and “our users are drooling simpletons” in mind.

Terminals are also super cool. It’s definitely easier to automate terminal programs than GUIs!

Also TUI? Man, opening BTOP is always a treat .

It just kinda depends on the tool for the job, right? Blender is a great example of a streamlined necessary graphical interface that asks for a terminal-like familiarity from the user. (And GUI-only folks kinda rage at it at first hehe)

Running as much as possible in terminal is definitely easier on the resources though, and I want to get a lot better at that. (As sexy as KDE is!)

Exactly. I’ve got a 4TB mirror setup for my pictures I reclaimed from Google Photos, and music, and other important stuff. It also backs up to iDrive which is really affordable. (Hopefully stays that way…)

What sucks is I scored a deal on a pair of WD Red 4TBs to add, but one was defective (secondhand, and WDs RMA procedure is STRICT.) , so now I’m stuck with a half expansion I don’t know what to do with and it’s kinda not responsible for me to spend >100 bucks completing the mirror right now.

My media collection isn’t on a mirror or backed up or anything because it’s naturally way larger than everything else, but I think for the stuff that truly matters, this will see us through.

Oh that’s so COO-(FLASHBANG LIGHT AND PINGING SOUND) - why’d it have to be a white webpage lmao. X_X A sign I should be sleeping lol.

Seriously this is awesome though, thanks for sharing this! Sounds like it could be a great upgrade from the PineTime some time. That was unexpectedly exciting!

Can attest: Gadget Bridge with my PineTime is LEGIT.

Really curious if there’s an upgraded watch experience though. This AsteroidOS sounds pretty neat. I miss those “pebble” watches.

Lol! Source is like the second to last paragraph of “Prologue.”

A ton of Linux usage involves the direct or indirect management and commanding of daemons, too. <_<

I think we cracked it: Linux is free and open sourcery. XD

Lol I’m really curious about the etymology behind all these computing terms now!

I wouldn’t be surprised to find out something like “kernels and shells” was a historically common analogy though.

That IS a fun fact. Super cool!

Hah, reading the introduction to this book out of curiosity…

…And he through the council of a certain angel whose name was Hocroel, did write seven volumes of art magic, giving to us the kernel, and to others the shells.

👀

Oh we’ve got bots for every vice and deadly sin now, taking after their creators.

Kinda neat that for now, we’ve found a way to Dr. Strange mirror-dimension them for the time being. I hope those techniques proliferate quickly.

I don’t care what the “commercial net” does at this point. I just want the indie web to survive.

Iocaine, nepenthes, and/or madore’s book of infinity are intended to redirect them into a maze of randomly generated bullshit

We’ve officially reached a place where cyberspace is beginning to look like communing with the arcane. Lol

Reminds me of the guy in that show Silicon Valley who was basically a plant / spy (Jianyang?), and his grand visions for all his apps were creatively named:

“Chinese Facebook, Chinese Instagram, Chinese Twitter. . .”

Lol

Right on!

I don’t know if there’s a hardware trading community yet. I think one challenge is simply how lemmy seems to aim for more general anonymity than reddit, and the DM system isn’t really used to my understanding. (Except by “that fediverse girl” LOL)

Establishing a sense of reasonable trustworthiness to thwart bad actors might take some work.

And thaaaat’s why it’s head/tailscale or nothing for me. I’m smart enough to know I don’t know enough to be absolutely confident I won’t get SHODAN’d and end up crying over a home network catastrophe, never feeling truly secure ever again.

Every now and then it’s tempting to get those fun features in containers like Nextcloud, like public links and federation, but it’s not worth the risk IMHO. Not when there’s state-class adversarial bots written by stupidly smart people roaming the landscape. <_<

Okay cool, cool, so does this mean ridiculous data centers will use these things, and then can I get another 4TB RED for my NAS so I can fit my whole life on a mirrored total of 8TB without paying 8x what it’s worth, please?

Thaaaaanks…

This is not meant for human beings.

This is for like, Smaug but if he hoarded classic anime and the entirety of Steam or something. Lol

Thank you, yes, exactly what I meant. It’s a bit baffling such a mature project doesn’t have some kind of migration script. :(

Heads up if your Paperless is installed via Docker: be VERY CAREFUL about your database version and do an export often!

Mine has been down for a while because I did a pull and it doesn’t support my version of Postgresql anymore. So it’s kinda a huge mess trying to figure out how to safely migrate it in the container.

I haven’t been able to fix it yet so I’ve just left it disabled and gone without for a while. It’s not fun.

Allegedly if you export from within Paperless, you can just start with a fresh updated database container and import when this happens. Oof.
