Being mainstream is exactly what I liked about reddit. It was the reincarnation of usenet. It has attracted all kinds of people doing all kinds of thing. Are you interested in swastika knitting? Piano jumping? Bathsponge sculpting? You can sure as hell find at least 2 other guys already doing it there.

It has to go with the brain…

Therefor, made with AI.
To appease the artists worried about “fake” art somehow replacing the "real"art, while the big social somehow profits. They just didn’t think leopards would eat THEIR faces…
10·6 days agoI feed defeated. The damn parrot made me watch the entire ad section.
I have not. But now after I’ve not seen any kind of explanation, I still don’t.
5·6 days agoDistraction free? Look at all those number buttons looking like little faces. They WILL judge you, as you type. I’m pretty sure about that.
1·7 days agoGee, I wonder why? Why would they be afraid of a country preparing to conquer new teritory by force?
If you come from IT, you never really quit. A little parser bug here, a small race condition there, or a fucking baking oven refusing to bake until you tell it what time it is. No hope, no escape.
Turns out, there are alternatives on the way as well - https://shop.canaan.io/products/avalon-nano-3-sept-furture-with-eu-psu?VariantsId=10379
It’s not only cheaper, but also more powerful.
consumer space heater
Love the idea, but I somehow doubt it will happen.
In the past, the useful lifetime of the asics themselves was the main problem. Each generation made using smaller and smaller manufacturing process. Now that we’re pushing the limits of what’s even possible with EUV, the chips might last longer. However, the supporting infrastructure is still not fit to be operated by just anybody.
Making the whole system consumer friendly and reliable increases the cost, which puts any user in disadvantage compared to an industrial operation.
The economy of scale would normally take care of that, but mass adoption of mining heaters would probably make the difficulty shoot through the roof, negating any possible saving on heating, at least compared to other alternatives like heat pumps.
edit:
say I didn’t want 700 watts, I only wanted 400
Brains OS can already fine tune individual chips according to your preferences on some bitmain machines.
I don’t know who Steve is, but I hope he ends up in russia.
26·15 days agoI’m surprised as well. We put our posts up for anyone to replicate and republish, yet we still get mad when somebody replicates and republishes it. It does not make sense. Activitypub is an open network with zero privacy expectations.
1·18 days agoI get the feeling that the US copyright is largely being operated on a pinky swear basis. For example - the current copyright on the original Bitcoin whitepaper is held by a well known con artist, simply because he was the first to register it.
2·18 days agoI do love lego. Some things just feel wrong, though.
We should start a support group. Just to never attend! :D
Of course security comes with layers, and if you’re not comfortable hosting services publically, use a VPN.
However, 3 simple rules go a long way:
Treat any machine or service on a local network as if they were publically accesible. That will prevent you from accidentally leaving the auth off, or leaving the weak/default passwords in place.
Install services in a way that they are easy to patch. For example, prefer phpmyadmin from debian repo instead of just copy pasting the latest official release in the www folder. If you absolutely need the latest release, try a container maintained by a reasonable adult. (No offense to the handful of kids I’ve known providing a solid code, knowledge and bugreports for the general public!)
Use unattended-upgrades, or an alternative auto update mechanism on rhel based distros, if you don’t want to become a fulltime sysadmin. The increased security is absolutely worth the very occasional breakage.
You and your hardware are your worst enemies. There are tons of giudes on what a proper backup should look like, but don’t let that discourage you. Some backup is always better than NO backup. Even if it’s just a copy of critical files on an external usb drive. You can always go crazy later, and use snapshotting abilities of your filesystem (btrfs, zfs), build a separate backupserver, move it to a different physical location… sky really is the limit here.
