When were you a kid? There was a vending machine in an ice rink when I was a kid in the nineties that exclusively sold candy, and the sour candies were always sold out by the time the guy came to refill.

I’m more worried about the floating books.

There’s so much boilerplate to even do the most simple tasks. And that boilerplate is something that could usually be automatically added by a compiler.

That kind of stuff often introduces footguns.

I use Svelte, and I love it. Although I’m not a huge fan of the new Runes syntax. It’ll probably grow on me though.

I fucking hate React. It’s slow, verbose, and unpleasant to work with. It’s all the worst parts of Java brought over to JavaScript. That being said, it’s still better than Angular.

Sure, but those kinds of lights are very dim. You can just use a dimmer bulb set to very low if you want that kind of longevity.

Basically all of the time you’re alive will be after the heat death of the universe, where you will be floating in space, with nothing to do, nothing to see, nothing to experience. Complete darkness, complete silence, in a complete vacuum, for eternity. Every other particle in the universe is forever out of your reach. You know that you will have nothing forever. You will never see, hear, or touch anything again, for all of time, which will never end. The trillions of years that preceded your float through the void fade into a distant memory as you outlive twice as much time, four times as much, a trillion-trillion times as much, and infinitely more.

Lying can get you ahead in the immediate, but then you’re a liar, and liars lose friends and alienate people.

I don’t think you’re supposed to view someone else’s paginis without permission.

Because legally there are more choices, but really, there are only two.

Can I suggest QuickDAV as a good file sharing/transfer app?

It uses the Nephele WebDAV server.

I feel like if ChatGPT were the only LLM on the market, they’d have a real path to profitability, but it’s not even the best LLM on the market. And the open source models are nearly as good, meaning the vast majority of people who need an LLM can run it on their own hardware.

It’s kind of like trying to make a profitable business out of offering a special sauce that isn’t as good as your competitors sauce, and is barely better than the free sauce from Taco Bell. Oh and it costs you millions of dollars to produce a single bottle.

My home server has an NVMe that has the OS and all the Docker Compose stacks and their database data. The big data (photos, movies, backups, etc) are on a big 6 drive RAID 6 array. The NVMe gets backed up to the RAID every night. They go into folders named after the day of the week, so I’ve always got 7 days worth. Then every week or so, I rsync the whole RAID to a big drive at my parent’s house. The reason I do that manually is because I don’t want it happening if I get hit with a ransomware attack.

That was all relatively easy to set up, but server administration is also my profession, so for normal people, I recommend an easier home server setup and a commercial backup solution.

I’m actually working on an open source backup solution based on my deduplicating WebDAV server, Nephele. If I can pull it off, it’ll be free and open source to run on your own hardware, or you can pay my company to back up to my hardware.

Me? Unless I’m excluded, then the laptop. Although the room itself is pretty useful, but I don’t think I consider it “in the room”.

That must have something to do with like A/B testing or something. Like she’s in the guinea pig cohort where she gets the “experimental” routes.

Interesting. I’ll let him know. Thanks.

Those invisible intangible barriers can be tricky like that.

Wow, that’s strange. Have you tried comparing the routes it gives you to the same places, side by side?

Linux, but sometimes I have to use Windows.

As an email guy, I would love IPv6, but it just isn’t gonna happen.
