Straight up reverse proxy isn’t bad. I think it’s only a couple lines in a file.

But when you want to add let’s encrypt and dynamic DNS. It starts to get a little bit meatier.

Providing documentation to something that you don’t know is one of its few really solid uses. If it misses a detail or doesn’t get it right on the first try, it’s still probably faster than you starting from scratch, RTFM.

I can’t decide if you don’t know what you’re talking about or you’re just trying to troll me.

I’m sorry, but writing down the data from your organizational program and re-entering it all from scratch is NOT a backup solution.

If you have such scant data to do that, you didn’t need to have nextcould installed in the first place.

As a publisher, you could just start

This actually happens a lot, but kind of the other way around. Small indie shops run out of money and small publishers / companies swoop in with venture, throw a lifeline worth of money for a decent stake in the product. It either gets made, or it gets bought by a bigger fish. Sometimes the product is already done and they just need help expanding the audiience

It’s also important to remember these models are trained by sampling

IMO, training software on the corpus of human art without payment or attribution is not good for society and art in general, but, humans who create non-abstract are trained and honestly create in a strikingly similar way. The person hired to make an art piece of Catherine the Great doesn’t disclose that he looked at Alexander Roslin’s painting of her and is greatly copying the look and feel for the face or the Google search they used to find options for 1700’s royal clothing. The big difference in process between AI and an artist with reference art is the removal of the human element, and that’s super important.

But instead, we focus on how it was trained, when we train much the same way, or we call it all slop regardless of the actual quality, instead of calling out the real problem, the one problem that we can do something about, it’s taking a living away from humans.

Fingerprinting is insufficient for geolocation. If they were a state actor or an ISP, maybe. Everyone who ever leaves their house with a device would show up as a false positive.

Netflix has no GPS permissions. What various other data are you referring to?

If Mac’s your bread, gnome is your butter.

Of course, these days, if Windows 11 is your bread, maybe gnome is your butter.

I’m one of those crumudgeons that’s forever frozen at Windows 95.

That’s what happens to me in Monopoly, but it’s more to get the fucking game over with. I will destroy you if I can so we can get back an extra hour or two of our lives. What? Play the game as it was intended? With auctions? Preposterous!

Tail scale, wire guard, open VPN all work

They see your traffic coming from a residential ISP and don’t give it a second thought.

That said, if their service is that bad, piracy’s not a bad option. If someone’s going to provide me a service that I have to pay for and then tighten down the screws until let’s no longer reasonable, why should I care about following their rules?

I put my public stuff in a tiddilywiki because I can just take the file and save it to a public spot.

I use Obsidian and Syncthing for my personal stuff though. It has a bunch of searching, organizational, and plugin options.

Markdown ftw.

ok, it is SHOCKING how much Maria de Medeiros looks like Mike Wheeler in those frames. I had to just go and double check that was an unaltered frame, it was from around 1:51:25 in my copy of pulp fiction.

Ohh man, think of training something on your own corpus of writing over the years.

god we could probably more or less do that now…

There’s nothing wrong with calculators.

I wonder if the next generation is going to be reaching for AI for all their English needs.

Rofl, I pre-date common core. I’m not exactly sure to what extent they do all that stuff. I do know that they’ve got a fuck of a lot of numberlines, like so many number lines. Like they’re being paid by the number line.

Back in the 80s and 90s, the teachers would do regular scrolling down arithmetic, and they would mention borrowing numbers and shortcuts. And I took that shit seriously because I did not like sitting down and adding/multiplying numbers. I’d probably spend an extra 30 seconds of problem if I thought I could not have to sit down and write equations.

Oh shit, there I go getting along winded and get lost, yep, that should have been multiplied on the other side.

You can also

Multiply one side, divide the other to get the base number to get the base number to 100.

6% of 50 == 3% of 100 == 3

5% of 20 == 1% of 100 == 1

7% of 50 == 3.5℅ of 100 == 3.5

14% of 200 == 7% of 100 == 7

You don’t have to stop at percentage either.

25 * 16 = 100 * 4

If you’re doing addition, you can add and subtract.

27 + 13 = 20 + 20

Most of the difficulty is in realizing that one number or the other can be brought up to a nice round number, making the equation simple to do in your head. And obviously, just getting to around number on one side doesn’t always make it easy on the other side.

I always loved screwing with math problems to make them easier, which is weird, because overall, I don’t really care for math.

I also do shit like borrowing a couple of numbers to make the equation easy and then pull them back out.

392 / 4 == (400 - 8) / 4 == (100-2) = 98

376 / 4 == (400-24)/4 =100-6=94

Of course it goes up a level when the remainder isn’t evenly divisible. But I still find it’s something I can handle in my head.

371 / 4 == (400-29)/4= 100-7¼ =100-7.25=92.75
