Yea I just swapped my jogging/beach iPhone from an Xr to an iPhone 12 and wow, it's so much better than the Xr and pretty much as good as my "proper" phone, an 17Pro. It's got 4G RAM instead of 12G but it performs

Ok well that is actually interesting, thank you. Instead of OpenAI beta 6.3pre3 “fairyfloss”

Yea so it seems my frustrations come from not understanding the file picker isn't the finder. Anyway I've learnt a few things, so thanks everyone. I feel less powerless now.

The problem I've been having is that in Word "Recents" is selected by default. So I pull down that menu and it's useless (full of random Recent folders) The comment above made me realise if I pick "Documents" i

Way too much, obviously. It’s an Android app that exposes the underlying Android OS cli, and bolts on a Linux user space. Unsure why it’s relevant to this discussion

Yeah I keep yelling at Mum “Stop logging onto Twitter and develop and enhance RSS” but lately she’s stopped speaking to me.

So I’m in Microsoft Word. I hit the open file button and get the finder chooser window thing. I want to go up one level. How?? I’m sure there’s some magical key combination to do it but I can never remember it. That’s the first thing I can

As a Windows user for years until 2 years ago, I can’t believe how unusable finder is. It’s just terrible. I feel like it actively hides the filesystem from you at every turn. Windows was bad but at least Explorer (windows 10 version anyway

That’s easy. Because if they accept that emacs is good enough, they have to then accept that probably whatever thing they’re building is almost certainly worthless. 26 different browsers all based on Chromium, 127 different “observability p

That was my thought too. It failed amazingly at the task yet they were still thinking it was helpful. I had to go back and reread bits because I thought I’d missed a bit where Gemini hadn’t cocked up. Very odd conclusion to an otherwise int

I still find it hilarious that AI is so bad you need something to sit in front of it to pick models for you. And that's a normal, accepted thing.

I'll drink to that! Cheers!

I got my first job (an IT traineeship) because after my interview, I rang them every few days to ask how I did and if they were keen to progress further. In the end they said they gave it to me because I was obviously SO keen, what withi t

Yup rspamd being able to do the DKIM signing was what made me move from spamassassian+opendkim to just this single solution. The web GUI and its speed were just really nice extras it brought with it. It's one of my favourite pieces of

Personal mailserver sorry. rspamd stops all the sent-using-my-from-address "i hacked you" emails (DMARC drops them) and all the other random spam stuff. I can imagine though a large business with thousands of email accounts it wo

Thankfully not a problem we've encountered yet. All my mail is DKIM signed, SPF aligned etc. I also registered on dnswl.org which is a signal quite a few people seem to use.

by muppetman 2mo ago
I do. It's nowhere as hard as everyone on here makes it out to be. And I don't even use an easy solution like Mailcow. Spam is a solved problem with rspamd, and it's not even an llm

Advertisers love these sorts of reactions. I see nothing here but them TELLING us how great it is. Not showing us.

Of course. I wish that Immich had existed when I started using Google Photos, but it didn't. And I'd just had my first child so I really wanted to ensure I didn't lose any memories. These days I run the two in parallel.

Google already have 5,000 odd photos of me anyway in Google photos. I'm screwed either way.

Because Plex worked amazingly ~5-6 years ago, while Jellyfin was still very early stage. It'd sort of work. So there's a lot of "Well I'm already using Plex" inertia. Plus Plex has very lovely, polished clients, y

I love that 3 years in we're still (Even more so) at the "you have to pick the right model for the job" stage, requiring these sorts of hacks. If the AI companies were clever they'd offer this themselves. I find the &quo

Indeed. I'm a member of a few music trackers and they have a lot of great stuff, but What's archive was amazing. One of my proudest things I own is a What.cd beer cooler I bought from them.

What the hell is Perplexity? I've never heard of it? Have I been living under a rock again?

Thank you. I have this discussion all the time. The argument I get back "Right, but it seems like the change takes awhile because of the DNS cache expiring, so it's the same as propagating". My counter to that is to say &qu

I wonder why it needs 20MB minimum. Back in the day linux 2.0.33 would boot happily into a GUI and everything on an 8MB machine. Or maybe I misremember... I know my machine at the time got upgraded to 24MB so maybe it was that machine I was
