Open Source@lemmy.ml•Tired of Pinterest .Looking for an alternative?English
14·2 days agoHow do you use it?
My main interaction with Pinterest had been with it clogging my search results with copied images that no longer link back to their source pages.

Jellyfin: The Free Software Media System@lemmy.ml•Docker vs ... not?English
10·2 days agoI prefer to run processes directly on the host system if I can. Jellyfin is well behaved, running as its own user and not hogging RAM, and it doesn’t need dependencies that conflict with other apps/services. So I don’t see a need to add a layer of port/volume/stderr mapping.
I also ran HA and AppDaemon just in Python virtual envs. Glad to share Ansible playbooks if you’re interested.

1·9 days agoGlad you enjoy ddoi!
If you can’t get out on that balcony, backing up and introducing your window/doorway as an artificial frame could also add depth/interest.
I was very excited about open firmware and ran FreshTomato for a while. Eventually I decided it wasn’t reliable though (2.4Ghz wasn’t actually running on one router, occasional speed issues).
I switched to Unify and have had a great experience. Great visibility into link speed, which device is on which AP, able to SSH into each device and run iperf3, WiFiMan is a great debugging tool (which you don’t need their ecosystem to try), notifies me when the ISP is slow/down. There’s a bewildering array of hardware and it’s not cheap or always in stock, but there are some good guides around.
So, I’d like FOSS to be the right answer, but in this case I’m glad I switched to Unifi.
ETA: https://evanmccann.net/ubiquiti is the most useful guide. And a key aspect is Ubiquiti is the cloud services are an optional aspect, it won’t brick if they go under.

17·10 days agoCheck out the Architecture category in daily dose of imagery archives.
One improvement to make with this photo is the tonal range — part of the the urban landscape in it reads as uninteresting is that it’s all fairly middle gray. I think your approach of looking for silhouette could be a good one, and a polarizing filter can be a good way to accentuate contrast within and against the sky.
I actually think the chair and white balcony make a neat subject. Maybe try lying down on the balcony so it takes a lot more of the field of view, put the chair center or 1/3 of center, and then look up towards sky?

News@lemmy.world•The Treasury just declared the U.S. insolvent. The media missed it | FortuneEnglish
24·10 days agoThe article doesn’t cover potential impact, just an analogy to a household. Do we expect runaway inflation soon? The national debt had been going up as long as I remember. Was it propped up by international goodwill/trust/fear which we have now burned?
Not the best drivers, but clearly drivers! Cool.
Hah, luckily no cat present. I considered inlaying magnets at the top of making some kind of latch, I do dread what would happen if the griddle’s handles came down on the cooktop.
Thanks! I was surprised I couldn’t find a commercial product like this, I mostly saw ones like this one from Reddit:

But I don’t have that much free wall space, and didn’t want a rail/hooks.

4·12 days agoYeah! I considered breaking out the flex shaft for this one but ended up having enough mobility without.

Technology@lemmy.world•Google told staff worried about Pentagon AI deals that the company is 'leaning more' into national security contractsEnglish
4·14 days agoLeaders said there was a “robust process” to ensure the contracts align with Google’s AI principles.
Ah, I think you’ve identified their “robust process” and what the key “principles” are.

Technology@lemmy.world•Google told staff worried about Pentagon AI deals that the company is 'leaning more' into national security contractsEnglish
6·14 days agoYeah, got headhunted for 10 replace-doctors-with-AI startup for every 1 ed-tech company that even looked at my resume, and the company I’m at now, though good on paper, is squeezing AI into every nook and cranny as fast as they can while sidelining security concerns.
It seems like the AI never gets tired of writing code
I think that’s a telling observation. The whole reason we have software, and programming languages, is that people get tired.
Necessity has invented generally and reuse to combat repetition. With agents that don’t tire, they don’t gravitate to generally — but their endless repetition does tire their human reverse-centaur bodies dealing with the code review and maintainability they can’t reason about.

News@lemmy.world•AI still doesn't work very well, businesses are faking it, and a reckoning is comingEnglish
5·15 days ago“And they have no inductive reasoning capabilities. A model cannot check its own work. It doesn’t know if the answer it gave you is right. Those are foundational problems no one has solved in LLM technology. And you want to tell me that’s not going to manifest in code quality problems? Of course it’s going to manifest.”
If this guy didn’t work at a consulting company I’d send him an application. But maybe if people are paying him to tell them AI is slop, that’s as good as it gets at the moment.

News@lemmy.world•'This place broke something in us': Kids languish in ICE detention long past 20-day court limitEnglish
18·19 days agoAlso reported by the Texas Tribune . Horrifying. I can’t imagine what it would do to a kid to spend 1st grade in a concentration camp eating moldy food, instead of in a safe loving home getting solid nutrition, I only hope they can recover.

Gofundme preparing to support them on release. Apparently one of the trumped-up reasons for holding them is they don’t have means of support? I didn’t see a more direct way to help get them out.
The hair clips are a nice detail.










Nuts, undermines the picture I had of them based on abolishing their army.
