guess what just broke on my laptop after 2 years

I’m guessing it was the floppy drive?

My disaster recovery plan:

1. I plan on not having a disaster.

2. If I do have a disaster, I plan on trying to recover from it.

Honestly, I mainly just use Google Play Books, since that’s where I buy most of my ebooks. I do download and de-DRM my purchased books though, since I don’t trust Google to keep all my books available to me in the future.

On my eink reader, I also use either Google Play Books or the default reader app, “Neo Reader” I believe.

That was fast.

Could we stop with the viruses for a while, please? Just a few years is all I ask.

I like how it basically generated the Ubisoft logo.

It’s the Scunthorpe problem.

Nothing’s more permanent than a temporary solution.

Calckey sounds like a calculator/math/graphing application and Firefish sounds like another generic fork of Firefox.

I use Podgrab to archive the podcasts I listen to, but these are all freely available podcasts.

Right now I’m using Synology Surveillance Station, but I’d like to replace it (or just supplement it) with Frigate.

I’ve succeeded in setting Frigate up with two cameras and person detection turned on (though no Coral accelerator, so it’s slow and ressource hungry), but now I can’t figure out how to get Home Assistant notifications once a person is detected while my “Home Mode” toggle is turned off in home Assistant.

I’m not good at actually making things happen in HA. I’ve managed to make lights turn on and off via MQTT (output from RTL_433 which listens to some wireless light switches I have), but that’s more or less it.

Some scientists create problems, others solve them.

With the amount of data I have, it takes Everything about 12 hours to re-index it all.

I currently run Everything in a Linux VM (running with Wine) that has my servers’ shares mounted read-only, but it stops running after a day or two every time. All in all, not very stable.

I’m looking for something better too.

I can see you from kbin.social.

I vote for Caddy anyway

Things may have changed in the meantime though, you never know. A lot can happen in 9 hours in the wild and fast-moving industry of RSS readers.

There’s a surprising number of people who seem to think LLMs contain a database of everything it’s trained with, and that it just spits out snippets from there. There are also lots of very vocal artists against image generation models who claim that these 5-10 GB models contain all their copyrighted art, claiming that the models just create collages from existing images.

People simply don’t understand how these things work.

Well, most government employees are also regular people once they’re not at work, and they would be using the backdoored encryption for their personal communication. With the backdoored encryption it would be even easier than before to compromise a couple of them and leverage their access to get into the government systems. That’s already a very widely used technique.
