Last I read about it it required connecting for 6-7 hours continuously on 32bit systems, and it’s unknown how long it would take on 64bit.

Alright, have fun with that. 🙂

If you mean to do that in the public DNS records please note that public records that point at private IPs are often filtered by ISP’s DNS servers because they can be used in web attacks.

If you don’t use your ISP’s DNS as upstream, and the servers you use don’t do this filtering, and you don’t care about the attacks, carry on. But if you use multiple devices or have multiple users (with multiple devices each) eventually that domain will be blocked for some of them.

Generally speaking, a subdomain like jellyfin.myhome.com will work out much better than a subpath like myhome.com/jellyfin.

Very few web apps can deal well (or at all) with being used under a subpath.

optical media doesn’t last that long (5-10 years) and is easily damaged

I beg to differ. I’ve been backing things up to optical for 25 years now with minimal issues. CDs could be easily scratched but it hasn’t been the case for DVD and BR.

M-DISK uses in-organic substances that make the discs mostly immune to exposure but it’s a more recent invention. Proper storage and handling still goes a long way towards protecting discs even if they’re not in-organic.

I really don’t see the issue. If the work account uses Google or Microsoft I use their respective web apps and export an ICS link to see the blocked slots in my own personal calendar.

For my own personal calendar I use CalDAV, which is widely supported, and an app that can import ICS links. (Self-hosted Radicale server and the Calengoo app for mobile and desktop, for the curious.)

A good overview of the circumstances of the recent Chevron decision.

Please note the final paragraph. Koch’s goal is exactly this: bringing cases in front of the Supreme Court that, if won, would cause grave disturbances.

They’re a very common form of personal backup. A few discs and an USB writer and you get a very long lasting medium for passwords, personal files, family photos etc.

Can also archive multimedia of course, the smallest discs are 25 GB and can pack a few films, a season of a series, or a lot of music.

• What does “authentication” mean if there’s no server?
• How do browsers behind NAT connect to each other?
• How does it verify that the other chat partner is who they say they are?
• Why use this and not Simplex?

SIMs are standalone embedded computers (they run Java!) that handle the cellular connections one their own and communicate with the phone over a standard pin-out and protocol.

This way the phones are somewhat insulated from advances in cellular technology and it’s one of the reasons mobile phones have been able to evolve so smoothly from feature phones to smart phones.

There are muxing apps that can do that.

Contact support and tell them how many you need and they’ll try to accommodate you. There were a lot of people abusing the service and hosting hundreds of domains so now they’re making everybody request them explicitly unfortunately. They’ve also had to suspend their .dedyn.io DDNS service indefinitely because of the abuse.

That’s why we can’t have nice things.

Please read up on DNSSEC because you will be required to turn it on for every domain you host with them.

That was the whole point. They’re making sure you don’t scroll past that first page.

At some point they’ll probably just show a full page unskippable ad after you press search. 😄

That’s how Amazon works.

If you think all the stores in the internet now are PWA’s you are sadly mistaken. MVC web apps are pretty well suited for things like shops and they never went away. There are entire languages and frameworks like PHP, Python, Java that actively support that style of app. It also lends itself really well to caching.

I wouldn’t say it’s completely JavaScript free though. Client side JS is still extremely useful and attempting to make a store with zero JS might be a bit tough.

Both your ISP and CF will drop you like a hot potato if you’re ever under that kind of attack.

CF has other features that are nice like, like WAF, bot detection, geo blocking, caching etc. But it’s only a taste.

All their real services are paid and the whole reason they offer a free tier is to upsell you to their paid services.

It’s not the only free DNS service.

It’s only a good registrar if you don’t care about privacy and you’re ok with their selection of TLDs (selected only from registries without privacy).

The free accounts do not benefit from DDoS protection. Re-read their terms of service, they’re vague on purpose. If you were ever DDoS’ed (I don’t know who would bother btw but that’s another discussion) they’d just drop you.

You can establish the tunneling thing on your own with any VPS.

The problem with cloudflare is that we’re missing three other cloudflares to move to if they decide to pull evil shit.

You can and should diversify your services and spread them to different providers that are easy to switch. I’ve been with “all in one” providers before, they inevitably end up leveraging their convenience into all sorts of crap. But until you get burned a couple of times they look really good.

LLMs don’t generate information, they generate information shaped sentences

That is besides the point. A random number generator is more or less random but it still has applications.

The problem is not them being random, it’s hiding that they are being random so they can be used for applications where randomness is not a feature.

I think it’s more accurately to call it RFID rather than NFC. It operates on the range of frequencies that NFC also uses but this particular application (access ticket) doesn’t require any NFC features. So I doubt they went and made the readers NFC and took the penalties (such as the greatly reduced reading distance) for no practical reason.

As a simple rule of thumb, if the ticket works from more than 5cm away it’s most likely not NFC.

If you can use your smartphone instead of a ticket then it’s NFC.

If the models are random then we shouldn’t be trusting them to do anything, let alone serious applications. If any other type of software told us that it’s based on partially random results we’d say “get that shit out of here, I want my software to work first time, every time”.

“Statistically good enough” works for some applications but not for others. If a LLM finds a formula that has an 80% chance to be the cure for cancer or a new magical fuel or some amazing new material that’s cool, we’re not going to look the gift horse in the mouth.

But using LLM to polute the web with advertising texts that are barely inteligible, and using it as a pretext to break copyright in the process, who does that help? So far the only readily available commercial application for LLMs has been to spit out semi-nonsense so that a bunch of bottom-crawling parasitic industries can be enabled to keep on pinching pennies and shitting up everything they touch.

Which, ironically, it will help them to hit bottom all the faster, so in a strange way it’s a positive return, but the problem is they’re going to take down a lot of useful things with them.
