That brought back some printer PTSD

And somehow losing.

While I don’t speak Chinese, I saw some comment mentioning that the protagonist of the apothecary diaries Maomao’s name means literally “cat cat”. She is latter called Xiaomao meaning something like little cat. I wonder if the first one had some similar roots to the way it is used in Thai meaning big cat 😺

Giving it too much credit by calling it AI. LLM auto complete seems more accurate.

Gives the vibes of someone messaging “hey” at work on a Friday at the end of day. Freaking tell me what the issue is already.

For people living with others it might not be a choice though. The lights not working for a day the way they normally do is all it takes for someone to lose all faith in automation. It’s easier when you plan for a specific time and day to update things, as long as you are not exposed to the internet, slightly out of date apps are not a big worry

I suppose that’s true. The country is not well liked in Latin America either due to all the meddling they’ve done (which was not properly covered in US history classes).

The US doesn’t chop up journalists with a saw just yet.

Maybe they read the room and decided to drop that part last minute.

I get that, but the services listed by the other comment run just fine in docker with less hassle by throwing in some bind mounts.

The 4 VMs dedicated dockge instances is exactly the kind of thing I had in mind for people that want to avoid something that sounds more like work than a hobby when starting out. Building the knowledge takes time and each product introduced reduces the likelihood of it being completed anytime soon.

I would give docker compose a try instead. I found Proxmox to be too much, when a simple yaml file (that can be checked into a repo) can do the job.

Pay attention to when people say things can be improved (secrets/passwords, rootless/podman, backups), etc. And come back to them later.

Just don’t expose things to the internet until you understand the risks and don’t check in secrets to a public git repo and go from there. It is a lot more manageable and feels like a hobby vs feeling like I’m still at work trying to get high availability, concurrency and all this other stuff that does not matter for a home setup.

And the ones unlucky enough to be around when the systems fail.

Why not?

Don’t forget IoT, where the S stands for security! Or “The Cloud”! Make sure to rebuy the junk we will deprecate in 2 years time because we love electronic waste and planned obsolescence ;)

Tends to go that way when the take is so dumb and disconnected from reality. Might as well have shown dick pics with diamond encrusted micro transaction “rewards”.

918k now. Not European, but you guys give me hope for the future :)

Seems like loose goat hair with clay could be used similarly to fiberglass with resin, or steel reinforcements in cement, just a different use case.

After getting a NAS to replace my raspberry pi 4 as a home server, I literally just SCPd the bind mounts and docker compose folder, adjusted a few env variables (and found out of a few I needed to add for things like the uid/guid the NAS used as default for the media user I created) and it took maybe 30 minutes total to be back and running. Highly agree with you from experience.

They are also way too small in terms of storage given that they don’t support external cards (Apple is similar). Google/Apple definitely want buyers to also buy their subscription storage services or pay the high premium for the next storage level.

I’m on an XR right now and it feels older, but still very much usable. I wish companies offered options to only get security patches instead of having to buy new phones every few years, that’s the 1 thing I hope Google keeps around and doesn’t walk back in the future.

I hate being out of battery tho :(

Always happens with BT headphones.
