fizzle

The only skills or learnings I really seem to have retained from University are the ability to collect, and collate information and then apply it to a problem. The actual information collected and problems solved are lost to me now.

I feel like synthesising notes and turning them into flash cards how i learn things.

The vector is that someone steals my server while keeping the router in place.

What does this part mean?

is internet router some kind of software or you mean your physical router?

Why does songs from non-English countries have random English words?

Because most of the audience for non-English songs, particularly younger audiences, are bilingual (or multilingual) and likely speaks English better than you do.

Can you imagine if English songs randomly have Chinese words?

Yeah, that would be unusual, English speaking audiences generally don’t speak Chinese.

Obviously, its a non-binary answer.

Besides which, why wouldnt they make money preventing other people from scraping websites, while scraping the traffic that flows through their network.

At this part I’m genuinely starting to wonder which parts of the internet I really need.

Politicians don’t seem to function this way though. They don’t concern themselves with implementation details. People will vote for age verification even if it doesn’t work.

They’re not going to re-open the strait though.

They will burn billions trying to escort ships and Iran only needs to launch a $20k drone every few weeks.

I’m so weary of everything getting a little bit worse every day.

I’m sure we all used to be excited about the future of the internet but now it’s just shit.

I thought graphene was the best daily driver for the moment ?

literally is one of those words which has really lost it’s meaning. yes I hate it.

Regardless, how badly you want to use fb marketplace is highly regional and situational dependent.

My partner and I have twins who are now almost 3 years old. I would estimate that the stuff we have bought and then later sold on fb marketplace for little or no difference in value would have cost about $6k or $7k per child if we had bought it new. Average full time wage here is about $1k per week, for reference.

There just isn’t another platform which has any significant userbase for toddlers gear here. There is something else you can use for cars or tools, but not toddlers stuff.

Its true that without facebook marketplace we just wouldn’t have bought a lot of the stuff that we did

Its got a logo on it FFS.

No one has mentioned Open Web UI, which is part of this landscape.

Open Web UI is the chat interface you use to interact with a model. I haven’t really dug into much of the functionality beyond simple chat, but there’s thousands of community plugins for web search and similar. You can also create knowledge bases and attach them to queries. For example if I have a bunch of policy and procedure documents from my work, I can create a knowledge base and ask the LLM to create new policies in that context.

You can configure it to work with ollama, which allows you to run LLMs from huggingface.co and similar on your own hardware.

However, in my own case I just don’t have anything resembling a modern powerful GPU, so I don’t run ollama locally. You can use a paid account at huggingface.co and use their API to do the inference (running the models). Not all LLMs are available this way but certainly many are.

More recently I’ve discovered that OVH, (a french bare-metal host I’ve used for years) provides an inference API for a half dozen models, and I’ve found this to be blistering fast compared to huggingface.

If you give a hospital medicine they will use it.

Irs not only formal education but also just a kind of culture around medical practice.

In a lot of south east Asian countries there’s a real expectation that doctors have to give you medicine. If you go to the Dr with a cold, instead of being told to go home and get some rest, you’ll leave with a goodies bag with all the things: paracetamol, a branded pen, antacid, vitamins, a coffee mug, antihistamine, bubblegum tooth paste, expectorant, a mask, and yes: antibiotics.

Many patients particularly from rural backgrounds, have always experienced medicine as a blend of actual therapy and showmanship. If you get headaches then the treatment is paracetamol for the pain and cupping to remove the bad spirits.

This means real practitioners providing science based medicine really need to uphold the showmanship. Better to give a kid a vaccine they might not need in order to improve the perceived value of the healthcare they received.

I can also imagine situations where a hospital might receive 10,000 doses of a vaccine from an aid organisation but are expected to provide their own hardware.

My experience with dovecot has always been pleasantly surprising. doveadm in particular. Just the documentation seems less readable than it could be.

If i understand correctly addy.io just forwards incoming email to another public facing server. So OP would need to configure and selfhost their own server, even if it only ever receives mail from and sends mail to addy.io.

This might be a potential solution, but I dont think its really what they wanted.

This isn’t really what OP is asking about.

They want emails to reside on their own hardware. So zoho might run the public mail server but OPS own server pulls the mail down from there.

This might be naive but it seems like cheating can only tip things so far in their favour. Perhaps in North Korea you can have Kim elected with 99% support, but aparently you cant just make up the numbers in the US.

I expect things will get desperate in the coming months.

I suspect Trump will try heavy handed public policy, like interfering with interest rates, or handouts for business. Then maybe even a false flag incident in September or so, intending to declare a national emergency.

The Ministry of Justice said that possessing and publishing porn showing incest between family members and sex between step or foster relatives where one person pretends to be under-18 would be a crime.

This reads like its only banned if someone also pretends to be under 18?

IDK but I thought porn depicting minors was generally banned in most countries?
