I did this once on my laptop with no backups. I was lucky. I also used the correct version with --no-preserve-root.

Avahi basically broadcasts to the whole network "hello there, my name is some-cool-domain.local". When you request that address, your router checks if someone broadcasts that name and uses their IP if so.

Well, I don't have any experience asking it for career advice, but I have worked with it quite a bit and it's quite shitty once you get to anything that starts resembling complexity. This is definitely not a tool I'd go to for any advice beyond the simplest ones.

rikudou ,

Don't get me wrong, it saved me a ton of time. Just recently I needed some coding help that would probably take me hours of searching. Doesn't mean I'd trust it with advice, that's something entirely different than spitting out code that works half of the time.

rikudou ,

Well, one more comment like that and I guess I'm gonna have to edit my original comment, because I don't want to explain again. I'm getting quite a lot out of LLMs (GPT-4, to be specific), it's just that they're very stupid. When they don't straight up lie, they don't know stuff. It's quite simple, really, I usually deal with very complex problems that few people dealt with, the AI has (close to) no data on that, so it runs in circles and is not able to help.

But when presented with questions that it has training data on, it's brilliant - recently I needed to use reflection to get all types implementing an interface in .NET with the caveat that the interface is generic. GPT-4 was able to solve that problem 3rd message in the conversation, while I'm pretty sure it would take me hours, because I'd need to learn a lot of .NET's internal workings before arriving at the quite simple solution.

So, a good career advice - which one do you feel like it is? A simple question with a straight correct solution, or a complex and nuanced issue where there isn't one general truth? Because the only correct answer to a request for career advice by someone who doesn't know your situation extensively is (a version of) "I don't know, what's your situation in detail?". Knowing GPT, it didn't ask that question.

So yes, LLMs are great! Just learn which use-cases it excels at and don't ask it for complex advice.

It was millennia ago when I first read "don't ship your own date/time library". Guess these fellas somehow missed it.

(I did this thing a while ago, but hopefully it doesn't count since it's a joke library)

rikudou ,

I honestly have no idea, it's been a while since I wrote it.

rikudou ,

Ah, the new Internet Explorer.

rikudou ,

Yeah, his tweets are the bad thing. Not that he does all he can to turn his employees into literal slaves. It's the tweets.

rikudou ,

That's really ignoring all the direct nasty stuff Musk did.

rikudou ,

He is exceptional in being a dick, though. Of course not on the Hitler level, obviously. But it always gets me when people think his weird tweets are really the worst he's done.

rikudou ,

Not sure how it's in India, but in mine the farmers blocked the roads to our capital and burned tires. That's not what I call peaceful.

rikudou ,

Having a painting made by an actual human hand on your wall will be more ego-boosting

Nothing really changes, this has always been the case.

rikudou ,

I think a colleague of mine made a great comparison: It's like having access to a thousand junior devs who can reply really fast.

rikudou ,

Some see it as an opportunity to make the chatbots better, some see it as a reason to shut them down. You luddites sure are an interesting bunch.

How do I automount sshfs?

I have SSHFS on my server and would like to have it automatically mounted and store all of the documents, desktop, downloads, etc. on a couple computers. I am able to get it to all work except for mounting on startup. The server is Debian 12 and both clients are Tumbleweed. Nothing in fstab seems to work. When I add...

rikudou ,

store all of the documents, desktop, downloads, etc. on a couple computers

Why use SSHFS for that? I recommend using Syncthing, it's great for synchronizing stuff across multiple PCs (local and remote).

rikudou OP ,

Well, I'm definitely not paying Apple $99 a year to be on their shit store, so I've opted for PWA. It's made as an app from the scratch, not really much different from a native app.

rikudou OP ,

since they actually do give a crap about building good products and have done quite a bit of that

That hasn't been true for quite a few years.

rikudou OP ,

Android is more popular globally, the only place where it isn't true (AFAIK) is USA where the colour of the text bubble is important for reasons that defy logic.

rikudou OP ,

Well, let's hope EU fines them all the way to bankruptcy (I know that's not gonna happen, but one can dream).

rikudou OP ,

Depends on whether your app is distributed as a PWA or not. Mine is, so it kinda touches me personally.

rikudou OP ,

As far as I know, it is a web app, meaning it could no longer be installed and will only work as a bookmark that opens your default browser.

rikudou OP ,

You can, but then I'd have to pay $99 per year to Apple to have it on the App Store. 3rd party app stores are gonna be a wild west for a while, so not sure it's viable as an option.

rikudou OP ,

Well, definitely sounds like something they'd do. EU might force them not to, though. Only time will tell how it turns out. But definitely recommend the move to Android!

rikudou OP ,
  1. Buy an old Xperia 10 III.
  2. Flash SailfishOS there
  3. ???
  4. Profit
rikudou OP , (edited )

Much worse than Google IMO, at least when it comes to fucking with rules made by EU. Google usually tries to appeal legally and if it doesn't work out, they do what they must. This Apple bulshittery with 3rd party app stores is a new one. Someone here in this thread said that the worst EU can do to companies breaking DMA is forcing them to sell the division. I would love for Apple to push EU that far.

rikudou OP ,

Most likely not, UK does not use EU laws anymore.

rikudou OP ,

Heh, welcome back soon!

rikudou OP ,

Well, now they can use their own Facebook App Store on iPhones in EU, so not sure it really changes anything for them.

rikudou OP ,

Yeah, I'll wait until EU has their say, because the shit Apple came up with goes against what EU is trying to achieve.

rikudou OP ,

I don't think so, they're just trying to make the experience worse and then say "it's the EU that made us do it".

rikudou OP ,

Yep, fuck them. For me it was not the deciding factor in making my app a PWA, but it definitely was one of the reasons I went for it.

rikudou OP ,

As does every good phone in that price range.

rikudou OP ,

This year's top Samsung has 7 years of updates guaranteed.

rikudou OP ,

What's this fabled build quality that other phones in the same price range don't have?

rikudou OP ,

Unless you force them to open up their system for 3rd party stores and browsers like EU did, I think you're fine.

rikudou OP ,

Glad I helped you!

Inside the shifting plan at Elon Musk’s X to build a new team and police a platform ‘so toxic it’s almost unrecognizable’ (fortune.com)

Inside the shifting plan at Elon Musk’s X to build a new team and police a platform ‘so toxic it’s almost unrecognizable’::X's trust and safety center was planned for over a year and is significantly smaller than the initially envisioned 500-person team.

That's not about LLM. Recently I was doing an AI analysis of which customers will become VIP based on their interactions. The accuracy was coincidentally also 98%. Nowadays people equate AI and LLM, but there's much more to AI than LLM.

rikudou ,

You need to host your domain somewhere, meaning some DNS provider needs to be the authority on what gets routed where when someone accesses your domain.

The provider will give you a list of nameservers when you make the domain part of their DNS.

I don't know if there are any that are free (if you don't also buy a domain from them), so you'll have to check on your own. You can also self-host a bind9 server and do your DNS there.

rikudou ,

You should do one of these a day.

rikudou ,

The alien ones? Yeah.

rikudou ,

With neural implants open source is not the main issue. Sure, it's nice, but it's not like I'm gonna do a brain surgery because I did RTFM.

rikudou ,

Seriously? Have you missed the memes that Chrome will eat your memory? They were everywhere for a while.

rikudou ,

And your solution is to start a community without contributing to it?

rikudou ,

That sounds like a good thing to me.

rikudou ,

Guess that depends on the instance. Mine will sadly have a technical issue which corrupted the database.

rikudou OP ,

Yes, indeed, it's your local timezone.
