Why are you giving a shady company with shady terms and shady history the benefit of the doubt?

One can still note a poor decision based on its merits. An equal area projection map is obviously valuable. But it's practically asinine to pick a projection that distorts land features when there are several equal area projections tha

I stay purely home network, as I suspect most do. So although I can see your use case, I can also understand why it's not a bigger priority than those other features.

It's probably the software I trust the most on my network to 'just work', and with the local caching I can use slower upstream dns providers and still have sub 1ms average latency (no performance worries by excluding google a

Rather late to comment here, but are there plans to support Hebrew, Syriac, Arabic, and other scripts? I love the readability and elegance of this font in English and Greek, and would like to use it at CatholicLibrary.org.

It seems like the best course of action would be to argue he did not destroy evidence, just made it unavailable at the location to force the requirement for a search warrant. It would probably be a hard sell, but I can't think of a bet

I became so annoyed by google's ai overview and front page results that I am using 99% duckduckgo as the least bad free alternative for the other leg from my chatgpt usage in this context.

I asked a question once and now there is a effing alexa for shopping toolbar that takes a quarter of the screen that will not go away no matter how many times I close it, and the space remains taken even if I adblock it. Absolutely hostile

Yes of course, the secrets have to be isolated from the VMs, preferably at the network gateway and not on the same KVM host. But as far as I know there is no safer containerization technology than a VM, and the only way to be more secure wo

I would argue about 30% of Apple's success was just from not being slow annoying bloatware. I could never stomach it, but I know a lot of people who basically rage-quit Windows for the Apple ecosystem. I did the same, but for Linux.

I agree. I thought everybody knew to never use docker for high security, because it is "security lite". Might as well just use firejail. I presume that an agent knows more about networking and virtualization than I do. The only re

Thanks for answering. This is an 8b model, which are mainly curiosities outside niche tasks. I guess I am asking how far we are away from having today's more generally useful frontier model equivalents widely available for everyday use

What does it take to go from here to a model on a pcie card or an m.2 card, so I can plug one into my workstation / laptop? Will 'intelligence' become much like a gpu, where most people just live with the performance of whate

The more common concept of margin used in this context is net profit after expenses, including labor expenses. The question is therefore roughly "How much is purely for capital profit taking rather than directly involved with compensat

Can you add odt, ods, etc support? I use libreoffice viewer but it would be nice to reduce the number of apps on my device.

Actually many people thoroughly detest forced "memberships" to pay the actual price of the item, digital coupons, forced use of apps, and all of the other utter nonsense. I hope surveillance pricing bills destroy all of them forev

I live in an earthquake prone area and thought Japan was cutting edge in earthquake protection. Beyond the obvious concern for other human beings, I am interested in why there was so much damage from what I would have thought was still a re

I also use thingino and it was very easy to use. It has wireguard support, but I just set up my firewall so cams are only accessible over tailscale.

No idea, but yes it seems like good practice to trim context there as well. A good candidate for v2 if it's not present. At the same time, even if that is not done, the todo is both specification and tests. If it passes those when it s

Of course I have been down the rabbit hole. The software is wrong. Give me an option to bypass re-encoding, and instead of failing based on diagnostics like it does, just play the darn file the best you can. I only have so much patience and

I have a problem that it constantly tries to re-encode video that could be played perfectly fine in their player or the mpv shim. I wound up just mounting my remote drives and playing in my local mpv. I don't really use it because of t

Actually it does include an important level of review. They say "init a TODO list with a validation step for each item", and then the last several sections of the execution are within the TODO - where it is validating the code. To
