That’s how you end up with another Zuckerberg!

I’ve been using micro as well recently. But other than that if I’m on a remote server I’ll use whatever it has available, starting with nano then vi/vim.

virsh destroy gives me so much anxiety.

No I just want to shut it down- oh that’s how I do it. So destroy won’t delete all the data?

I curse whoever decided destroy = shutdown.

Yes that’s good enough! Sorry I missed your statement about shutting down first. To clarify I leave mine running since a dump can recover if it gets corrupt.

Basically my backup contains the database and the SQL dump (or equivalent) - that way I don’t need to shutdown the service.

Most of the time that’s perfectly fine, but if the database were in the middle of an operation you risk corruption.

Individually. If the app requires a DB, I put it in the compose file. This simplifies both backups and migrations. My tooling for backups has a pre and post script I can customize on a per app basis so I just have the pre do whatever *dump for that DB and the post clean it up (backup takes a tar of the folder).

Or don’t give your user docker and use sudo to use the docker CLI to get the same effect. Hell, you could even alias docker as sudo docker to get the same feel.

I’ve been running Qwen 3.5 122B A10B but recently swapped to Qwen 3.6 35B A3B - both using OpenCode e as my agentic harness (though I’ve also used Pi). I’ve been happy with the output, though I have to be more precise with my prompts and do planning passes.

Ditto. A smart home that can operate even if the Internet is offline was one of my core goals setting this up. And save for a few exceptions, I accomplished it. It’s so jarring now to go on vacation and not have all this automation.

Honestly I left proxmox/virtualization OSes a while back for simple RHEL. I have Docker for most everything and the few things I need full virt for the features Cockpit provides are more than enough. If I ever get back into clustering I’ll look at proxmox again.

I would say it’ll catch people who find a comic already stripped of attribution and want to reshare it, but that’s fine - the onus of fixing that / properly sourcing it should be on the one (re)sharing it.

Regent pisses me off lol. All the others I got solid strategies with but regent is still a PITA

Physically unplugging it may not be enough and risks permanent damage. Installing a 50ohm terminator is a much safer option on all accounts and takes just about the same amount of effort as unplugging it ( ~$10 extra).

This is the guide I had used for my previous car: https://imgur.com/gallery/step-by-step-guide-to-disable-onstar-on-2022-chevy-bolt-this-is-reversible-not-permanent-n00QKnH#rGSoW34

Once you adjust it works well. The whole “find something at random to watch” paradigm is not really how *arr works, but if a coworker mentions a show I can have it ready when I get home.

I mean, it’s very possible an it was written by “an AI” (an LLM). For all we know the prompt the user gave it was something along the line of “get your pull requests accepted no matter the cost” and it’s fancy text prediction decided, in it’s ever ongoing roleplay, that the targeted blog post would shame the developer into accepting it’s PR.

I definitely don’t under the paranoia though. I don’t understand how people are convincing themselves any of this so close to actual intelligence. Ask your fancy LLM how to fix your cup that "is sealed at the top and “open at the bottom” or if you should drive to the car wash to get a car wash if it’s only 100ft away - both scenarios obvious to most any human and will need to be trained out of the current leading LLMs (if they haven’t been patched already).

Half a year ago I accidentally git cloned to a folder named ~, so naturally I did rm -rf ~.

Mistakes were made. Fortunately I backup my ~ so it was just annoying.

I think it’s one way depression presents. Or at least, is a coping mechanism for. Especially for empathetic types.

“If I can make people smile, make their day slightly better in some way, they won’t have to suffer like I do, and I can derive a little bit of positive emotion from their reaction.”

Yes, that’s the capacity I’m using it in. I don’t have the Coral accelerator. I was trying to convey that pretty much any old PC and work for this with that one addon.

Just to add on to this:

Frigate is a open source solution that’ll take any RTSP capable camera and give it super powers. All those AI features the companies like Ring and Nest advertise, but locally. Sure, there is a learning curve - but it isn’t atrocious. And you’d need local hardware, but if you have a PC you could throw a $110 Coral USB Accelerator and get all this.

My first apartment had Comcast or DSL. I signed up, a month later I was part of their “experimental” data caps program. During the course of this I had a sales rep call and fell for the pitch. Turns out, he downright committed fraud and made promises that were patently untrue. It took 48 hours of back and forth in various mediums over the course of a month to get the situation resolved.

The solution was to complain on reddit and have an employee give me a one time use code to use Comcast’s VIP support center… Which is ridiculous that it exists in the first place.

I predicated all my subsequent (about 4) moves with “Comcast is not in the area” as a filtering criteria. Fuck Comcast.
