  • Yes, love it. Hint, AI really helps with some of the stuff though HA has changed over time so sometimes AI is talking about another version. I just set it up a month ago. I used their Z-Wave adaptor but installed HA on my Ubuntu Media Center instead using the Ubuntu Snaps.

  • Great. Any time someone has a successful business that supports Linux somehow it is just terrible. I always wonder if these are these real people or just FUD from competitors trying to max Linux support undesirable. Sure I prefer FOSS, but I'm also happy there is some commercial game support. Maybe I'll use it some day, maybe I won't.

  • Trump and his admin are such clowns.

  • What a low bar.

  • In an absolute sense, no. In a behavioral sense anyone who cannot define what is enough will never have enough. In this sense we have a lot of high income poor in the us including billionaires.

  • Thanks. So there are some odd things about it. Interesting.

  • Does everything have be a conspiracy with MAGA? I thought is was just a disgruntaled MAGA follower. Did I miss something?

  • Ahh from and about Russia and its pets. Good people to be talking about human rights.

    I do agree though but we should change this to the oligarch club world wide.

  • I just install HomeAssistant. Seems like a good choice.

  • Another thought I had was, the tarrifs were a sales tax and not a supply chain supply issue deeper then that. Why is the fed trying to contain prices except when they exceed these tax increases. It some how does not make sense to me.

    The other problem with inflation is fed has limited options and that usually means slowing the economy and the effect of that is not evenly distributed.

  • Liked his talk. One thing he did not say is chaos is bad for hiring and we do have chaos.

    The other issue is tariffs. Who could have known that adding Tarrifs is going to cause inflation along with supply chain chaos which is bad for jobs. Obviously. Same for horiffic and disruptive immegration policies and wars of choice.

    I can believe AI will improve productivity. That too will have effects. I know I use it quite a lot both to good effect and also in great ammusement when it totally fails in very funny ways.

  • Yes. I have used Linux for 26 years. Never have I ever considered leaving.

  • If your talking about true research, has AI actually changed much yet. Go to a research library and use their professional search tools and people. Then read.

  • Never trust AI to do math or work with numbers. I asked some standard deduction questions. Totally nutty answers. It did answer "confidently" though. AI is like a 5 year old with the data of the whole internet but no understanding.

  • Life is more complex. I do not live in a society that ia that socialiatic. I worked 26 years then said FU and probably will not work again. Money is more or less meaningless now. How is that different?

    On the otherhand, my grad school was 100% paid but I also worked hard. I did not do it to make money nor did I need to work to pay for it.

    Just pointing out money is less of a motivator then one might think.

  • Sure I used AI a few times this year. Got some good answers and some laughably wrong ones. Which is typical for AI.

  • It is not. Subscribe to the feeds you want the view only subscribed. There are several views.

  • Not against AI. I use it quite a lot. I also find amusement when it tells me things that are just wrong in a very sure way. So never fully trust AI. If you accept that then AI can be quite useful.

  • Antivirus is not the begin all and end all. I do not specifiically have AV installed and have had 0 issuses over the past 26 years of Linux use.

    On the other hand I do only install software from trusted sources. I keep my system updated. I do scan things with VirusTotal if there is a question. I have wine installed but not the exe handler. I have a firewall. I do sometimes harden my systems and use security scanners to help with that. Probably biggest attack vectors are email attachments and the web browser. I am careful about attachments. In the brower I use uBlock Origin at a minimum. I segregate sensitive things too so even compromising my general user account would not be fatal. I also have good offline and offsite backups.

    As for AV like stuff. I do sometimes install ClamAV or a rootkit scanner and sometimes do a manual scan but have never found anything. Same with my IDS. My WS for example has Tripwire but not all my systems and have never found anything.

    My point really, I view security about process and defense in depth then AV specifically. Keep in mind that AV introduces attack vectors too.
