Our war in Iran certainly won’t spark a resurgence of ISIS, we can be sure of that. /s

Concrete is much prettier than roses anyway. Ffs

This dumb bullshit. It’s been clear to me for a long time that Israel was gonna drag us into war. This is fucking pathetic.

Both. The AI hype machine is overblown. OpenAI in particular is led by a lying bastard who pretends that statistical software can think.

I’ll keep saying it: left unchecked, Israel will be the catalyst for WW3.

Glad you’re enjoying it. He sometimes has interesting interviews, too. Especially with authors and journalists.

There’s no rationa reason for spending billions of dollars on a technology that loses money and has no chance of delivering promises from a lying CEO.

It’s only a matter of time until this whole facade comes crashing down. I can’t wait to see OpenAI go out of business.

Fellow AI-haters should check out the newsletter and podcast of Ed Zitron.

I installed Llama. I’ve not found any use for it. I mean, I’ve asked it for a recipe because recipe websites suck, but that’s about it.

Sublime.

And yet we’ll (USA) lift nary a finger.

Solid review. Just installed on my Mac. Started up very quickly. Looks nice. I’ll use it as my daily driver for a few days and see how it feels.

"These antisemitic flotilla activists closed their eyes to the truth and once again proved they prefer the murderers over the victims,” Katz said. “They continue to ignore the atrocities committed by Hamas against Jewish and Israeli women, the elderly, and children.”

They refused to watch videos of atrocities that aren’t part of the videos, such as the murders of babies (unfounded) and mass sexual violence (unfounded). They must hate Jews. They certainly aren’t protesting the genocide of Palestinians. It can’t be that. /s

I think there are people who support Greta who haven’t taken a side on the Israel / Palestine genocide. My hope is that their grabbing her will turn more people against their horrid actions in Gaza.

Israel has decided to grab the attention of some of the people who weren’t already outraged. It’s a bold more. I hope it works out the way I think it will.

Alias rm to a flag that makes you affirm. On my phone, can’t be bothered to look at a man page.

Keep in mind that performance from a USB drive is sub-par and not indicative of performance when you install to the SSD in your computer. Don’t let that deter you.

Don’t let fear of the Terminal / command line plant seeds of fear as you’re getting started. Linux nerds love the command line, but you can stick with a GUI for the most part these days. The command line is a force multiplier that you can get to after you’re steady.

There will be learning curves. Same as if you switched to a Mac. It’s not exclusive to Linux. It’s awesome that you’re ready to be new to something.

Welcome in from the cold. We have hot cocoa and blankets.

Yes, this. I can’t describe the depression I had when I lost everything twenty-plus years ago. And we have far more to lose today. “One is none and two is one.”

Seems he’s always battling dependencies with his staff, herbs, and spell book.

i already learnt so much by reading posts in this community

That’s the best way to learn. Embed yourself in a community and passively learn. When you have enough of the vocabulary to ask an intelligent question, ask and let the community present solutions. Good job.

1. Others may disagree, but I think a sufficiently powerful NAS can absolutely handle automation backends and media servers. I know many people run such tools on Synology devices without issue (Synology, however, have become greedy assholes wrt requiring their own drives for compatibility) including me. I haven’t used Immich, but I see no reason that couldn’t run there as well. A dedicated mini-PC is overkill, but it would make things snappier if you’re flush with cash. I’m currently running an M2 Mac mini for my server needs and torrents because I can afford it and it can support 2000+ torrents at the same time without breaking a sweat.

2. I haven’t used TrueNAS and I’m unqualified to comment on this. I have run Proxmox, but not as a container. I’ll let others comment.

3. I haven’t used the Arr Suite. I just searched and I can’t imagine any reason why you couldn’t run the torrent client on a dedicated device and store data on the NAS. You don’t need to duplicate the files to do so. You might have to create automation of sorts to mount the NAS volume on the mini-PC at login or restore it if it gets interrupted, or you could just do so manually.
