solrize , to Selfhosted in Alternatives to CloudFlare?

Do you want something that also has CDN like Cloudflare? Bunny.net is good, but way more expensive than a cheap VPS if you use a lot of traffic.

solrize , to Technology in The Chinese women turning to ChatGPT for AI boyfriends

I had heard of AI girlfriends so I guess AI boyfriends makes sense too. Question: what happens if you fix up two AI's with each other?

solrize , to Technology in 512MB ram is nothing now

You might not remember that the original Macintosh had 128KB. That's KB with a K.

solrize , to Technology in NVIDIA Unveils Next-Gen Rubin, Rubin Ultra, Blackwell Ultra GPUs & Supercharged Vera CPUs

Named after astronomer Vera C. Rubin (1928-2016), I guess.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vera_Rubin

There is also an observatory under construction in Chile named after her.

solrize , to Privacy in I built the first 100% private, on-device "For You" feed on the fediverse

Do you mean it downloads all the posts whether you read them or not? Is that basically running your own instance?

solrize , to Technology in Robotic 'Third Thumb' Makes Tasks Possible With One Hand; Can Be A Game Changer For The Disabled

"Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya..."

solrize , to Selfhosted in Self-hosted diary

Plain text or org mode file.

solrize , to Technology in New York governor to launch bill banning smartphones in schools

Almost all of those have Internet. And they're generally expensive and/or only available cartier locked.

solrize , to Technology in Reddit-like content aggregator that focuses on moderation transparency and user empowerment.

Good luck with that!

solrize , to Technology in Does String Theory Actually Describe the World? AI May Be Able to Tell

"With four parameters I can fit an elephant, and with five I can make him wiggle his trunk" -- John von Neumann.

solrize , (edited ) to Technology in Cloudflare took down our website after trying to force us to pay $120000 within 24h

HN thread is here and it's on the front page 7 hours old: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40481808

Many mentions made that a significant part of the issue seemed to be Cloudflare IP addresses getting banned in some countries. They wanted the customer to switch to a bring-your-own-IP plan.

Also, the discussion took place over 1 month, not 24 hours.

I think the HN thread is reasonably informative and nuanced. CF didn't do great but it was somewhat a fog of war situation.

solrize , to Technology in 17 cringe-worthy Google AI answers demonstrate the problem with training on the entire web

I don't mind the crazy answers as long as they're attributed. "You can use glue to stop cheese from sliding off your pizza" - bad. "According to fucksmith on reddit [link to post], you can use glue...". That isn't so great either but it's a lot better. There is also a matter of the basic decency of giving credit for brilliant ideas like that.

solrize , to Technology in Actually, Winamp is not going Open Source

You mean if you build it yourself? I guess that is something, but it is still conceivable to sneak stuff in. Look at that xzlib backdoor from a few weeks ago.

solrize , (edited ) to Selfhosted in Best Audio Format for Storage?

Flac for me has been about half the size of wav, at least for normal 16 bit 44 khz audio. Maybe it's worse at higher bit depth? Anyway bulk storage is pretty cheap. You could have Flac in your archive while keeping ogg or whatever on your everyday playback device.

solrize , to Technology in Actually, Winamp is not going Open Source

Even if they accept patches, contributing still sounds like a bad deal. It's free labor for some company. FOSS at minimum means the right to fork, precisely what "source available" seeks to deny.

Leaving aside the question of winamp vs comparable programs, does anyone even care about desktop music players any more? I'm a throwback and use command line players, but I thought the cool kids these days use phones for stuff like that.

I understand there is some technical obstacle to porting Rockbox to Android, but idk what it is and haven't tried to look into it.
