I mean, that’s a cool looking QR code that I’ve never seen before, which I suppose is technology related, but, other than that, I have no idea wtf this post is even supposed to be.

?? Why? What could possibly be the rationale for this?

As of 2024-09-03T22:10:25.545Z, Starlink is now complying with Brazil’s X ban [1].

LibreOffice Draw?

“Despises O’Toole”? Did I just get transported back in time 4 years?

What the fuck. That’s horrifying. I also though that every sensible workplace bans the use of AI.

I don’t see it as being different than any other tool. Aside from the ethical discussions, and assuming that it is being used as if it were simply a tool, if it increases productivity, then what’s the issue?

Yeah, I agree — it feels unnecessarily ambiguous.

they’re selling their own “AI” bullshit

Omg, they are. I had no idea that that existed. I’m not surprised at all, though — it seems AI is to businesses as podcasts are to middle aged dads 😜

Hrm, it’s only a survey. I think having information on people’s opinion of a new/emerging technology is a good idea.

They have a section on databases, but, yeah, it looks like nothing for query languages.

From what I recall, this sort of stuff is usually kept as a closely guarded secret by those who do it. Perhaps someone else more knowledgeable about the practice could give some more insight.

All of the services that I host are for private use:

• Nextcloud
• FreshRSS
• Immich
• Jellyfin
• RSSBridge

And they are all behind Caddy, which reverse proxies and handles HTTPS. I’m not sure if it really counts as self-hosting, but I also use my server as a host for my backups with Borg. I also use it as a sort of central syncing point for Syncthing.

I did have a Pi-Hole at one point, but I kept running into issues with it — I may look into it again in the future.

At some point I’d like to try implementing some ideas that I’ve had for Homeassistant (a camera server with Frigate and some other automation things). Once federation has been implemented, I would like to host a Forgejo instance. I may also host a Simplex relay server, depending on how the app progresses. I’ve been considering hosting a Matrix instance, but I’m not sure yet.

Are you looking for something for a headless server or something for a system with a GUI (eg a desktop)?

It entirely depends on how you want your homelab to work. I use a reverse proxy to set up subdomains for my publicly facing services because I find it easier and cleaner to assign a subdomain to each service, and I also like having HTTPS managed by a single point — a sort of single point of entry to the rest of the services. You’d have to decide what you want out of your homelab, and find and set up the services that yield the outcome that you want.

Ha, I didn’t notice that in the thumbnail. Very interesting indeed, if it is a 22 degree halo!

Would you mind elaborating?

Five Guys have better service that is free

It wasn’t free — they were charging money for it:

Jetflicks, which charged $9.99 per month for the streaming service

Yeah, take a look at the solution at the top of the post.

We’re constantly running out; but every fes years, we figure out a new way to extract more oil/make do with the addresses we currently have.

It’s a supply and demand situation. We run out of things not only when they are physically exhausted, but also when it’s not economically viable to find ways to make more. But when demand increases enough, it will eventually become economically viable again.

hey’re basically saying librarians shouldn’t be random political appointees.

Again, the ethics of this law heavily depends on if it applies to libraries which are publically or privately run.

They need to actually be librarians

It’s risky, imo, to define this through law.
