  • Oh, I forgot about Claude. Last time I tried it, it seemed on par or even better that ChatGPT-4o (but was missing features like browsing).

  • Regular users can use Gemini, Deepseek, Meta AI, and there will probably be many more services in the future.

  • CEO publicly praised Trump and the Republican party. It's not the political alignment you'd want from the CEO of a service where privacy is their main selling-point.

  • NFS gives me the best performance. I've tried GlusterFS (not at home, for work), and it was kind of a pain to set up and maintain.

  • You can always create posts in appropriate communities to start conversations on topics you're interested in. Be the change you wish to see in the world.

    I don't care much for most pop culture stuff and get enough by happenstance from other sources/people.

  • Ideally, the Dems should've pushed the security out of the way and physically removed the DOGE team and their hardware and software. Instead they performatively argued with a single private security guy blocking the doors. The Dems are already capitulating talking about letting the "blue dogs" vote with the GOP.

    I'd like to see a large amount of Dems in congress and in other high positions to take direct action, get arrested, and jailed. I think this would force hard conversations in the media about what's going on, and courts and judges to more or less definitively rule.

  • This article is a good summary of the rabbit-hole I started going down when that Sam Altman/OpenAI drama happened (effective altruism -> effective accelerationism -> dark enlightenment -> etc). I had no idea so much of the "elite" were that out of touch with reality before that.

  • I assume if companies have a positive ROI for ads/sponsorships, they have very high profits (i.e. they're ripping people off).

  • I don't think walmart's warranties are pro-rated. They advertise "3 year free replacement." A couple years ago, I brought in a ~2 year old battery, and they just gave me a free replacement. All 3 batteries I was looking at have different CCA ratings, but I'm guessing ratings can be fudged too.

  • Automotive Repair @lemmy.world

    Do car battery warranties reflect actual physical differences?

  • If it works, I don't update unless I'm bored or something. I also spread things out on multiple machines, so there's less chance of stuff happening like you describe with the charts feature going away. My NAS is pretty much just a NAS now.

    You can probably backup your configs/data, upgrade, then deploy jellyfin again, restore, and reconfigure. You should probably backup your data on your ZFS pool. But, I recently updated to the latest TrueNas Scale from ~5 year old FreeBSD version of TrueNas and the pools still worked fine (none of the "apps" or jails worked, obviously). The upgrade process even ported my service configurations over. I didn't care about much of the data in the pools, so only backed up the most important stuff.

  • Exactly. (And foreign states who align with the US far-right)

  • I personally use a dual core pentium with 16GB of RAM. When I first installed TrueNas (FreeNas back then), I only had 8GB of RAM, but that proved to be not enough to run all the services I wanted, so I would suggest 12-16GB. Depending on the services you want to run any multi-core x86 CPU that allows 16GB of RAM to be used should be adequate. I believe TrueNas recommends ECC RAM, but I don't think using consumer grade RAM and hardware has caused me any problems. I'm also using an old SSD for the system drive, which I is recommended now (I used to use 2 mirrored USB thumb drives, buy that's not recommended anymore). Very importantly, make sure the HDD(s) you get are not shingled drives; made that mistake initially, and performance was ridiculously bad.

  • Yeah. If you're a minor you have to take Drivers Ed that requires a couple hours of driving with an instructor. If you're an adult, you can just take the written and driving test. I think I just drove around the block, and did a reverse parking test for my driving test. Depending on where you live, roundabouts are not common here. I don't think I saw one IRL until I was in my late 20s when I moved to a different state.

  • Bitcoin price movement seems to follow the US stock market, so I wouldn't bet on it.

  • IIRC, a deposit is made by two parties to create a lightning network channel that's enough to cover all transactions (kinda like a multi-sig escrow), and both parties have to sign-off on their balances after every transaction (the last balance signed by both parties is the only valid state). I think most people would use a custodial wallet where the custodian already has channels set up, and this would require trust in the custodian. Lightning networks didn't exist, and wasn't fully spec'd out the last time I looked into it though.

  • The Laken-Riley act pisses on the 14th amendment. People can be deported for just being suspected of committing a crime. The crime can be as small as being suspected of stealing a candy bar. There is mandatory detention, without bail, for all immigrants, with papers or not. It's not uncommon in the US to wait years before going to trial, and I doubt they'll be any more expedient for immigrants. And these people can just be deported without a trial.

  • He has already ignored the Supreme Court in regards to TikTok. Under Biden, Abbott ignored the SC with no repercussions as well.

  • I don't really like rogues (because you pretty much have to redo everything again), but I do usually play games with the difficulty settings all the way up (not on "ironman" though). Being able to retry from a recent save isn't too frustrating, and you can finish many games without even learning or using various mechanics if you don't use the highest difficulty.
