Logistically it doesn’t even make sense. Like, it’s only existed for maybe a month or so (at least, in the public mind). Are we to assume that a lot of people have decided to switch distros recently?

Given what I’ve heard of him, I doubt it’s tounge and cheek, sadly.

And as someone who follows the LGBTQI+ community, I’ve seen Christian values lead to really unhealthy communities and atrocities. :P

You shall have no other gods before Me.

If he is sincere in his beliefs then he won’t be able to follow the “no discrimination based on religion” part of the code.

Heard Lunduke went super into the deep end but “suggesting” that you follow Christian commandments in the ethics is wild.

I use borg backup to a Hetzner storage box, which costs $5 a month.

For a gui interface, I’ve been using Pika backup.

Google, Microsoft, banks and everyone in between has been spending the last decade rolling out sophisticated scam detection systems and infrastructure. If a scam can get through all that, then it can get through your little kiddy model.

And even if you did have a model that worked well, why is the best interface for it an llm? Why not just have a big red “scam warning” banner? Loud, clear and to the point.

AI agents can make mistakes, that’s something you’re going to have to explain to the user. But you also have to explain to the user to always listen to the scam warning even if their gut thinks otherwise. How do you define whether or not you should trust the AI in such a way that someone with cognitive impairment can apply it?

I’d recommend against having someone with cognitive health issues offload cognitive load to a machine that has demonstrated many times to be poor at it.

You’ve brought up the dangers of hallucinations and dependence, but I think the dangers are much riskier than you think they are.

Besides, doesn’t learning and using critical thought help slow down the progress of dementia?

Doesn’t Github give you Github Pages access for free?

If they’re translating GPL code to Rust, doesn’t that constitute a derived work and require the resulting code to be GPL licenced too?

Nah, autistics feel emotions more strongly than neurotypicals. It’s just nobody else seems to listen. :P

A better question is whether anyone is using such old hardware and also needs a really modern kernel. The current LTS kernel will exist basically forever in the git history if you really need it.

Just for testing purposes, have you removed every device except the root device and sys/dev/tmp from fstab? I know Linux can get a bit upset when a NTFS filesysyem is marked as needing chkdsk’d and might be blocking other disks from mounting.

Dealing with Windows’ bootloader is a pain in my experience. At least with Linux there’s good documentation and tooling.

Even if he allows AI contributions, Linus feels like the type to call out slop loudly when he sees it.

My understanding is that they usually go for the sites that distribute the content now, rather than individuals. Having an open Jellyfin instance looks like the latter rather than the former.

I’m annoyed at modern Gnome’s hostility towards user customisability. Their refusal to support server side decorations has trickled down to Cinnamon’s Wayland compositor and it looks like it’s going to be a barrier in Wayland Cinnamon.

People exfiltrating movies from your Jellyfin account sounds harmless until you get a knock on the door from the police asking why you’re running a piracy sharing site. Depending on the attacker’s level of access, they may also wonder why your server is now serving kiddie fiddling videos. Or maybe the attacker just replaces all your movie metadata images with ones from the Bee Movie.

To me at least, DOS and region locking should come after properly locking down public facing services. They aren’t 100% reliable at preventing intrusions.

I’d be surprised if there wasn’t a large difference between the power usage of a cpu at rest (like most servers will be) and one at full power. Especially if it had a gpu in it. They certainly sound a lot louder in my experience.

You can never be truly sure how bad a compromised system has been compromised, or even easily detect when it has happened. It could be running as part of a botnet, stealing your credentials or probing your local/mesh network.

In my eyes, competent cybersecurity abilities are an important part of selhosting which seems to fall by the wayside. It’s important to know exactly what your server is doing, what is running and who has access. If your system is on the public internet, you have a moral obligation to behave and not have it turn into a botnet or spam machine.

The latest version of NTP is 15 years old, and implementations are expected to be compliant. There is no risk of embrace/extend/extinguish from licensing here.

Open standards are better than copy-left licenses, IMO.

This “someone else” being… A C API header which can’t be copyrighted/copylefted anyway?

If you’re worried about Steam, you can always use the flatpak version of Steam. It runs it in a sandbox, so it doesn’t have complete access to all your files, although it can still do a bit of telemetry (which is unavoidable really, as you need to download files from Steam’s servers).
