I just tested it on my work laptop and it's ridiculous how much faster search is now. Gonna propose to implement it company wide on workstations. I mean, I would do so in a heartbeat, but I still want our CIO to sign off on it.

For servers though, I'm creating the policy first thing in the morning. The slow search has been the bane of my existence for years (although admittedly I could've googled it many times and never did, so that's on me).

You know, I work full time from home ever since covid and it is brilliant because I had a long commute to an office I didn't really needed to be in because all my peers/colleagues are in other countries. But when I started out, I worked in a nice office which was a 10 minute bike ride from my home and it was brilliant. If I could do the same work within a 10 minute commute I do now, I would be in the office every day I think.

What's a good NAS and server system under CAD$900 (USD$658)?

I am currently using an old laptop (circa 2015) with a 250GB SSD in it, and 4GB of RAM. It runs Fedora 39 Server, and only hosts a Jellyfin instance through Docker right now (though I want to use Nextcloud later too). There is only 15GB of storage left on it, and the CPU is constantly overloaded (due to forced transcoding). I...

I use an HP microserver gen 8, which I bought second hand (300$) and upgraded with a better CPU (20$ from ebay) and extra ram (80$) and 4 2TB SSD's (100$ per). I installed Windows server on it because I just wanted it to work in a way I'm familiar with, but a colleague of mine installed Synology OS on it. You can use the cd drive bay for the OS disk (with some tweaking). Since you already have the disks, this would fit your budget.

All the ways streaming services are aggravating their subscribers this week (arstechnica.com)

Below is a look at the most exasperating news from streaming services from this week. The scale of this article demonstrates how fast and frequently disappointing streaming news arises. Coincidentally, as we wrote this article, another price hike was announced....

It's an impressive piece of software, alright

Tesla was overvalued when it hit 50$ pre stock split. Its continued rise over a period of years to one of the most valuable public companies is just mind boggling. But I think even now there is a lot of hesitance in shorting the stock as entire fortunes have been lost trying to predict a share price correction.

But we're about to find out whether Tesla truly transcends auto companies: https://bradmunchen.substack.com/p/could-tesla-go-bankrupt-the-odds

I have never experienced this. Where do you have ads at gas stations?

Pringles ,

Been using kagi for several months now and can't imagine going back. The only thing I still use google for is when I want to shop for a specific product after having used kagi to do my homework. I'm sure I can configure a filter for that, but haven't gotten around to that yet.

If the drinking goes on long enough, I will go through all of these phases.

Pringles ,

A lot of plug-in hybrid owners took the state support to buy an ICE with a smaller gas tank. And it also can drive electric, but nobody does that.

I had that with VPN unlimited, but now I use Nord VPN which is a lot less heavy on the battery.

It's like veganism for nerds.

Pringles ,

Well, yea, the top one doesn't look neglected at all.

Pringles ,

I say it every now and then, but only for normally abled people acting like idiots. Is that an acceptable use?

Pringles ,

It's salon, the bar to write for them is almost on the floor. Just make it absurdly obviously left wing. Facts aren't required.

I am genuinely horrified to see how much data google collected from me

I created a google takeout and in that zip file I found some files containing a ton of data about me. It has logged every single page I visited while using the google search engine and chrome browser. It even logged every single time I opened an app on my old android phone. It even has VOICE RECORDINGS of me and a log of every...

Pringles ,

It's actually quite ironic that the best phone to degoogle your life is sold by google.

Pringles ,

Yes: https://www.instagram.com/p/Cy-q5CnJsGW

Pringles ,

You absolutely would, but not on the same terms as before. Those special privileges Thatcher negotiated are gone forever.

Pringles ,

I have never heard of this kind of thing being an issue in EU countries. If your warranty is still good, they'll simply fix/repair it without issues. Of course that's purely anecdotal.

Pringles ,

Iirc someone figured out that if you didn't make it obvious that you were encircling the AI, it wouldn't take any preventative measures.

The guy on the left is sad because they missed the guy on the tracks, and the guy on the right is happy because he can see a train coming from the other direction.

    Waw, a backgammon meme! As an avid player, that makes me happy.

    Also: 13-8

    Pringles ,

    That's actually a pretty good idea.

    Jokes aside, it's all about confidence. If anything, fake it 'till you make it. I was terrible with girls for a long time until I stopped caring and just went for it. Then I was amazed how easy it was.
