I do a little bit of everything. Programming, computer systems hardware, networking, writing, traditional art, digital art (not AI), music production, whittling, 3d modeling and printing, cooking and baking, camping and hiking, knitting and sewing, and target shooting. There is probably more.

  • if y’all hate it this much why you use it in your daily life

    A hammer can be used to build a house.

    A hammer can also be used to break every window on a house.

    I don’t think people on an AI community hate AI and therefore hate your project, I think they just hate the project you have made.

    This is probably because there is no sensible narrative, a lack of interesting cinematography, awful music that cuts in and out at weird times, weird cuts that don’t flow, no real dialogue, etc.

    As a film I couldn’t tell anyone what it is about or why they should watch it based on the trailer - the entire point of a trailer is to establish this.

    This isn’t so much poor AI as it is extremely poor film making.









  • If you don’t need stuff publicly accessible, and just need it accessible to you, then set up a small computer on the network as an ssh Bastion host/jump server, put it on a VPN connection with a VPN provider that offers dyndns, forward the ssh port through the dyndns, and then off network, reverse proxy in with socks5 via key based ssh -D to gain access to all the services available inside the LAN.

    Been doing this for a few years, works great and no one is getting in without my ssh key.


  • I feel similarly especially about remmina, though as I understand it this is not necessarily the fault of Wayland but of the various applications and drivers not offering or having been developed to support wayland yet (I’m quite sure this is the case of Remmina anyway).

    It’s too bad because on Debian 13 here wayland actually speeds up the general interface for me - if it weren’t for these shortcomings in-app then I would be running it for sure.

    I would hope plasma’s decision pushes the application developers to catch up a bit.


  • Final straw?

    So it was contradicting itself and would not update no matter how many times I would hit “check for updates” over the course of a week.

    So not only was the system not functioning correctly, but I could no longer trust it was going to be secure from third parties.

    I had intended to switch for some time before then for a litany of reasons but this definitely convinced me to stop wasting any more time and I moved myself and family over less than a week later.










  • The problem isn’t really with Wayland not working though, it’s with other software not being caught up to work fully with wayland.

    For example, in X, I can have my single screen windows work laptop display to my multi-monitor linux machine with remmina and be able to interact with the laptop as if it had multiple monitors.

    Remmina cannot do this with Wayland as far as I have been able to determine.

    Clearly not the fault of Wayland, but also kind of a pain in the ass that there are issues like this since some other maintainers/devs haven’t implemented what is required in their software yet.
