Only several thousand? There was a guy when I worked for Facebook who pushed a config change incrementing a timeout from 5 seconds to 30 seconds in the caching layer. Config changes roll out instantly. Brought down all of Facebook for about two hours. Probably cost them many millions. I mean, good for him.

You’re a hero.

If it’s using AI, I’m not interested. AI is garbage and produces garbage code. I definitely don’t want some LLM fucking up my database.

You might want to think about running a “stable” or “LTS” OS and spin up things in Docker instead. That way you only have to do OS level updates very rarely.

Right now, not very. Basically only open source software can run on it, and only if it’s either exceptionally portable or has been tweaked to compile for it.

In the future, hopefully this is usable for general computing, but right now it’s basically only usable for R&D or niche applications.

The path forward for RISC-V is getting it into more developers’ hands though, so having it available for really nice hardware like the Framework is awesome.

Well, kind of 3 companies.

Intel and AMD both have rights to x86_64, since they both held patents used by it. In 2021, AMD’s patents expired.

Then there’s ARM, which is solely owned by Arm Holdings.

But yes, it’s still very much a big problem, and I really hope RISC-V succeeds to solve that problem. Licensing core designs is a much better motive and business model than licensing an entire ISA.

Edit: oh wait, you said two architectures, not two companies. Never mind, you’re right. :)

I use QuickDAV and OwlFiles.

Thanks. It took about 10 minutes to do each set of 1000 photos, because she wanted to keep both the originals and the modified versions, so 2000 individual per 1000 photos. It took roughly 22 hours to do them all, which I did over the span of about four days. I never want to do that again! xD

Immich does have a command line uploader, and you can download photos 1000 at a time from the iCloud website. It’s an extremely tedious process, especially when your mom has 130,000 photos to migrate, and she’s not techie enough to do it herself.

I’ve been using Immich for a while now. It is amazing. Better than iPhotos and Google Photos.

One thing to note is that your photos are stored on disk unencrypted, so if anyone has access to your server, they have access to your photos. This can be partially mitigated with LUKS or some other full disk encryption, but unless you configure it with TPM, your server won’t be able to come up automatically.

I get Netflix for free but literally never use it. I think I’ll cancel it. Why even have it?

Windows is the greatest and best operating system that the Windows team at Microsoft has ever made.

Windows will not connect to a WebDAV server with a self signed cert without making a lot of registry changes.

It also will not connect to a WebDAV server with https using an IP address. It must be a hostname.

I tried and I got the following error:

Invalid \`prisma.tool.findFirst()\` invocation: Can't reach database server at \`5.161.113.232:5432\` Please make sure your database server is running at \`5.161.113.232:5432\`.

Can you add Nephele to the list? It’s not a full fledged replacement for cloud storage, but with something like OwlFiles on your phone, it’s close. And it’s very useful.

Also, I wrote it. :)

Yeah, probably, but this one doesn’t seem obviously fake. It could be, but it also could be real. I’ve never heard of this OS, so I’m assuming it’s not popular.

Yep. Everything except my server, which needs to be able to boot without my help. Because why not? I rarely ever reboot anything, so it doesn’t really hurt, and if anyone steals my shit they won’t get my wife’s noods.

Because I don’t know Python.

If you want to waste bandwidth downloading the entire commit history, go ahead.

I use node as a calculator a lot. It can be dangerous, because it suffers from floating point errors, but it’s generally more powerful than a calculator if you know the Math lib well.
