I personally don’t tinker much with the OS. I want it to stay out of the way and let me do things. In the case of Bazzite, everything I need for gaming is just there and works without me lifting a finger.

I like the safety and simplicity immutables bring.

If I’m doing something out of the ordinary, a temporary container usually suffices.

It’s really made the switch from Windows as a daily driver much easier.

I used it the other day to spit out a ~150 line python script. It worked flawlessly on the first try.

I don’t know python.

Yeah, agreed. That’s not what I asked though.

This response is a bit of a misdirection since we all discuss shit that isn’t the most important all the time.

No he doesn’t.

I can give better advice in a similarly easy to consume manner, applicable to most.

1. Invest in a low cost target date fund. Look at Vanguard target date funds for examples and pick a year close to your expected retirement date.

2. Pay your highest interest debt before lower.

Both of these pieces of advice make you more money than doing what Ramsay says and are equally easy to understand.

Given what I think I know about LLMs, I agree. I don’t think they’re the path to AGI.

The person I replied to said AGI was never going to emerge.

Are you assuming LLMs are the only way humans could ever try making an AGI? If so, why do you assume that?

It sounds hyperbolic but if you assume it will reach human-level intelligence and will have the ability to update its own code, you very quickly have something much smarter than us. Whether it will want to help or hurt us is an unknown. Whether we can control something that’s smarter than us (and getting smarter every second) is unlikely, IMO.

“You’ve chosen the wrong phone” is peak lemmy.

Second only to “ditch Windows, use Linux. I don’t care about your use case”.

Glad I’m not the only one. I read it 3 times and still don’t know what’s being said.

Is it still full tilt?

Looking at CDC graphs of excess deaths, it appears we’re back at baseline. That is, assuming I’m reading this correctly which is very much not a sure thing.

Okay 2 things.

1. I haven’t heard about any security issues with Rustdesk. Can you link to what you’re referring to?
2. It’s strange to see someone concerned about security recommend RDP for remote access when it’s a terrible idea to expose it to the internet. But maybe you mean to expose a VPN and then connect to RDP via that?

Edit: I see you have some info on the Rustdesk point elsewhere in the thread. I’ll read up on that part so don’t feel like you have to repeat yourself here.

No rustdesk but recommend RDP for remoting?

I’m confused on both recommendations.

“Until next time”

restic -> Wasabi, automated with shell script and cron. Uses an include list to tell it what paths to back up.

Script has Pushover credentials to send me backup alerts. Parses restic log to tell me how much was backed up, removed, success/failure of backup, and current repo size.

To be added: a periodic restore of a random file to have its hash compared to the current version of the file (will happen right after backup, unlikely to have changed in my workload), which will be subsequently deleted, and alert sent letting me know how the restore test went.

I don’t think I’ve had that problem?

Until you explain email is federation.

That’s more bearable than the fuckers with loud exhaust.

That’ll work a few times

Won’t last long unless the votes actually come in.
