The unrealistic part is management admitting to a mistake

Pineapple juice. I went to a party in college that had some sort of unholy concoction of jungle juice with a bunch of cheap pineapple juice powder to mask how terrible it was. Completely ruined pineapple juice forever.

They legitimately make a noticeable difference to me when hiking. But really only after 6-7 hrs of hiking or if I’m going backpacking for several days. Otherwise water with normal snacks is plenty.

I blocked mine from the internet for good measure too.

But downloading a .reg file from some rando website is a-okay.

The average ‘advanced’ window user: CLI is scary!

Also the average ‘advanced’ windows user: if you open regedit and add this DWORD entry to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Microsoft/application/windows/something, then you can stop Microsoft from screwing you, but it’ll revert after each update so you gotta keep fixing it

They do say they surveyed moviegoers. That’s a lot of self selection right there. I think movie theaters are a terrible value so I hardly ever go to theaters.

According to Ol’ Elon the robo-taxi service has been a couple months away since 2017 or so. I can’t imagine it’s much closer now than then.

“I think nano is the premier terminal text editor.”

I think that most of the time when people decide that they don’t like decaf, it’s because they got some day old coffee from somewhere that doesn’t move enough decaf to ever make more batches. I like the caffeine in normal, but decaf is great for just the flavor.

I feel like at some point in the next few years Musk and Trump are going to have a falling out, and if Musk loses in that falling out he’ll get slapped with a domestic terrorism or treason charge.

See, I don’t pay for the electric bill to keep my collection of old enterprise equipment running because I need the performance. I keep them running because I have no resistance to the power of blinkenlights.

I think my instance has been growing at about 30 GB a year. I think if you set it up to not rehost the pictures, you can keep the whole thing in the handful of GB range.

So when I ask Let’s Encrypt for a cert, I ask for *.int.teuto.icu instead of specifically jellyfin.int.teuto.icu, that way I can use the same cert for any internally running service. Mostly I use SSL on everything to make browsers complain less. There isn’t much security benefit on a local network. I suppose it makes harder to spoof on an external network, but I don’t think that’s a serious threat for a home net. I used to use home.lan for all of my services, but that has the drawback of redirecting to a search by default on most browsers. I have my tailscale exit node running on my router and it just works with SSL like anything else.

I use a central nginx container to redirect to all my other services using a wildcard let’s encrypt cert for my internal domain from acme.sh and I access it all externally using a tailscale exit node. The only publicly accessible service that I run is my Lemmy instance. That uses a cloudflare tunnel and is isolated in it’s own vlan.

TBH I’m still not really happy having any externally accessible service at all. I know enough about security to know that I don’t know enough to secure against much anything. I’ve been thinking about moving the Lemmy instance to a vps so it can be someone else’s problem if something bad leaks out.

If you want apples to apples, why the hell is Tesla, a company that makes under 2m vehicles, have a market cap of 1.4T while Toyota, a company that makes 10 million vehicles a year, has a market cap of 233B. No matter how you look at it, Toyota has better numbers in every way, but Tesla is a tech company as far as the market is concerned.

What you are looking for is a RAG and is one of the few legitimately useful implementations of LLMs outside the wall of hype.
