Even given there’s 0% chance of conviction, impeachment is a political process. It’s important to announce where one stands, and what’s ok and what isn’t.

Also, why are Democrats incapable of recognizing that performative red meat to the base drives turnout and engagement? How much mileage and therefore actual votes did “Benghazi” and “repeal Obamacare” get?

That shit MATTERS.

It is, that’s what I had meant by token based challenge lol. You need a DNS API key for your manager to do it directly, it flags a DNS record with a token to validate ownership. I was just calling it out from memory, sorry!

Yeah, if you use something like Nginx Proxy Manager you can’t use the automatic flow, you need to use the token based challenge.

Unpopular opinion time: I’m torn as to where that theft line is.

If a turn of phrase in Lord of the Rings inspires something new in me, do I owe royalties to the Tolkien estate?

The stories on FanFiction.net are derivative by definition — is it theft? I love “Harry Potter and the Natural 20”, a 4th-wall breaking D&D and Potter universe mashup story (seriously, it’s hilarious). Does that story owe royalties to Wizards of the Coast and (ugh) JKR?

Maybe those are super transformative. What about opinion pieces where the author redigests information from all over, many paid writings? Are they selling the original authors’ product, even though restated?

Maybe it’s ok if they paid for the subs. But what if it came from free library books?

My wall has a bunch of art from artists at SDCC. I’m looking at Spider Gwen; Thor, Iron Man, and Mjolnir Cap charging into battle; Kaladin and Syl before the Stormfather; and a map of all the places the Gaang went in ATLA. Those artists all ingested the original work to make those derivatives; were they not allowed to make them if they borrowed their friends’ copy?

It feels kinda wrong to vacuum up public data to train models, kinda? But I don’t know that I can fairly call it immoral without condemning all these other things I think aren’t immoral. I kind of want to, but that’d be really inconsistent, and that’s profoundly frustrating in its own way.

It’s messy and complicated and I think the gut response of most people isn’t actually a reasoned one.

If OP is doing orbital dynamics in their day job, they probably live in California. JPL, Raytheon, LLNL, LBL, and Berkeley are all here.

Even if they don’t have rooftop solar, most of our grid is renewable. Their local GPUs have a decent chance of being more environmentally friendly than charging your cell phone, depending on where you live.

And using it for science and programming is really different than using ChatGPT to write you an email. I’m home right now, but I have two agents at work running debug and trial experiments, and they’ll be running it all night until I get in in the morning. I’ll review their work and steer them all day while I’m in the office; and while those two completely different projects are running, I’ll be personally working on a third. They are enormous productivity multipliers when you have a well-defined and deterministic target.

Super cool

I still do, but I don’t host anything on 80 or 443. I use a random large port number, and I’ve seen zero illegitimate requests in 20 months.

IF there’s an active exploit AND it affects a container AND you have a container escape route AND you pick my domain you’d need to statistically try thousands of times to even hit the single open NAT port.

I’m honestly skeptical about even this. I tried to generate an 8 bit key and got rsa_gen_set_params:key size too small.

And like, you need to go deliberately out of your way to not use OpenSSL.

The NAS itself probably takes most of the power, which isnt logged. My server is a Raspberry Pi 5, so used 1.86kWh in September.

Not as of a few weeks ago

It needs to be Android with Google Play Services for the registration for a variety of payment related reasons, but they want to eventually remove that tie

I’m right there with you. Your comment gives me some confidence on this front to stage the upgrade this weekend.

A script checks container status and accessibility, and pushes a ntfy alert if it goes down. Healthchecks.io reports if the whole Pi goes down.

Also what I use on a Raspberry Pi 5.

Discord notifications also sometimes come with random delays because of Google bullshit, and ntfy supports UnifiedPush.

That looks very cool and maybe worth porting what I currently do — I just run a super simple template and each recipe is its own include file, with an auto generating index.

Even if the hosting dies the recipes are easy to read on github, and the network availability makes shopping easy if I decide I want to get ingredients for it at a store, or to share.

I use Kagi too, it’s great.

The other commenter corrected your index note.

What I found most illuminating was a comment by the CEO in an interview, perhaps The Verge? The TLDR of it was that Google makes money when you dwell on their site (so they want the highest ad serves per search), and a paid search engine loses money every page they have to serve you (so they want to give you your answer fast).

So, the user and Google are at odds, and the user and Kagi have the same goal.

I only read about that today, so I hadn’t even considered that angle. They’re doing some cool stuff in that space. jeff is the self-hostable one that does best as far as I know.

This. Exactly this.

Exactly. We’re a minority but it’s still like 15%-20% of the overall problem that’s addressable.

given the source of the energy most EVs use :/

What? This is hilariously wrong.

A profoundly filthy coal power plant has multimillion dollar filtration the size of your damn apartment. That gross coal is scrubbed more than the gasoline from any vehicle possibly could be.

In a first world country it’s not possible to have an electric car as dirty per joule as a gas vehicle.

Further, the powertrain is direct and therefore dramatically more efficient, so on a distance basis you get an additional multiplier. That’s where the EPA MPGe comes from - total energy content of 1 gallon of gasoline, converted to range on the electric vehicle.

That’s about 33 kWh in one gallon, which is about half the total storage capacity of my Bolt EUV 2023 (65 kWh) which has about 240mi of range on a full charge, which is why the MPGe is ~120mi/gal, which for an equally polluting power source as a personal gas vehicle, is 5-6x cleaner. Public DC fast chargers are frequently exclusively renewably powered.

It’s impressive because literally every possible angle of your statement is hilariously incorrect.

They’re all sourced to the same “study” by a climate denialists outfit.
