Generally when accuracy matters I ask for a direct link with proof and for the specific part of the doc that is related. I either get exactly that or it’ll realize it’s hallucinating and can’t prove anything.

Hugely wasteful but unfortunately still faster than how unusable search has become.

This one is at least as informative as the default. Sometimes I’ll be troubleshooting an application where the developers got a little too creative with error messages and I’ll get an “Error: Oopsie woopsie you broke the website!” And I’m like JUST GIVE ME AN ERROR CODE I’M THE ADMINISTRATOR AND I NEED TO ACTUALLY FIX THIS!

Most big LLMs will pass the math off to a more typical service that will solve the math problem deterministically and then pass the result back to the LLM to include in its response.

So yeah LLMs can’tactually do math but from a user perspective they can.

I’m skeptical this wasn’t about selling Steam keys on an external site for less than the price on Steam. Plenty of places sell DRM free versions of games at whatever price they want but steam keys can’t be discounted on external sites. That price parity is only for steam keys though at least per policy.

Changing the password on my password manager is so stressful.

Legit have to plan a good time of year to upend my life like that.

I haven’t seen Sable suggested, but it’s a very pleasant indie game with a lot of BotW in its DNA. It’s not as large and content filled as some of these suggestions but it does have a great sense of style and is more tonally similar to Zelda.

Had to Google it but it looks pretty nice. I thought you meant that you were injecting giant ads into Android TV.

I can’t imagine what nightmarish vulnerabilities Microsoft knows about and is hiding because they would require too much effort to patch. I bet there are some really crazy things that have probably been wide open for decades if you only knew where to look.

Boy I sure do wish I was paying a monthly subscription fee to have billionaire narcissist tech bros whisper bullshit into my ears all day long using their giant environment destroying make-everything-expensive technology they insist I definitely want even though it will also definitely steal my job.

Truly the future we have always dreamed of.

Generally people should be more worried about the Ring camera across the street than someone using AI to analyze signal shaping data from the Wi-Fi to figure out what room you are in.

I’m interested to see what kind of hardware will produce “good enough” AI capabilities in a couple years as things are refined and tuned further. The gap between the absolutely massive commercial models and open source models keeps shifting but I don’t have the same fear that I had a few years ago that it might not be possible to get good results from anything less than millions of dollars worth of hardware.

There are very few places on earth that are capable of producing the silicon wafers used in RAM. These factories are still producing at the same rate as before but buyers who pay more (large companies with data centers) are buying them so there are fewer left over for normal consumers (hence the high prices). So why not scale up by making the factories bigger or faster? They are, it will take decades to do that because the process is so advanced. Why not just scale out by building more factories for producing the parts? They are, but that too will take decades.

Buy the game after a few years of bug fixes on sale with all the DLC for basically the same price as a sandwich… or pay $80 for a buggy broken incomplete experience with no real guarantee any promised content will ever materialize.

Although I guess I need SOME people to keep buying them at launch to subsidize my frugality.

I deployed Technitium with docker, but generally this got me heading in the right direction with the initial setup. It’s more of an overview and quickstart than an in depth guide though.

I was doing basically this with a different sync tool, but I had a couple issues with it:

• If I needed to toggle ad blocking I had to go toggle it on both pihole instances
• When troubleshooting an issue I had to check two log sources, or disable one and then reproduce the issue again
• Sync was one directional so I could only make configuration changes from the primary instance

I’ve been a very happy Pihole user for years and years and Pihole 6 is the best yet, but once you’re dealing with multiple pihole instances, Nebula Sync and Unbound, then Technitium is actually simpler to manage since it does all that natively.

DNSWeaver has support for caddy labels too! Specifically for use with caddy-docker-proxy. So yeah, really good fit for your architecture.

Oh do I have a treat for you, check out DNSWeaver.

It’s designed to do exactly that, to automate creation of DNS records for container services. I use it with Traefik. It reads from the same labels that Traefik already uses to proxy services but if you already use another reverse proxy and don’t want to switch it supports dnsweaver-specific labels as well which are easy to add to your current deploys.

I used it both with pihole and technitium and actually used it to make the migration easier. Great tool.

People forget that social media is escapable and you can just leave.

Switching SSH to a non-standard port can cut down on log noise but it doesn’t really help with security. It’s trivial to identify ssh running on any port and attackers typically do full port scans anyway.

I’d put that effort towards allowlisting only trusted public ips or setting up wireguard/tailscale for ssh access instead.

Crimes only count for poors.
