Utah seems to be doing some cool things lately (try are featured in this article). They were at IIW this year talking about their new digital identity setup, too.

It’s because it requires removal of 138 parking spaces.

Yea comes in super handy when you always want dropbear SSH for remote unlock, or making sure both RAID disks boot, etc.

I do it for all my software setup, too. A shell script for each, then a for loop that asks to run each. But I also made https://github.com/fmstrat/gam, so maybe I just like overkill bash.

Every time I set up anything, I do one of two things:

• If it’s container based, it gets a commented docker compose file in my custom orchestration

• If it’s on a host system, the changes are scripted and commented in a setup script, which are run on new machines. If the acrit is specific to one machine, it is configured as such

I find in-setup docs to be best for a home lab, plus if I have to replace hardware, it’s fast.

Fun fact, I do it for laptops and desktops, too.

Mmmm that’s the stuff.

I think little Lemmy has overloaded the phone.

Big 404 fan, but “original” is misleading. “First article on this topic” is more accurate. OPs link is arguably more interesting.

So, it’s on device, which negates many of the above worries. Does that change things? I’m all good with private AI, personally. Slippery slope and all, though…

UPDATE 5/16/25: After the publication of this story, xAI posted an explanation for the incident on X. “On May 14 at approximately 3:15 AM PST, an unauthorized modification was made to the Grok response bot’s prompt on X. This change, which directed Grok to provide a specific response on a political topic, violated xAI’s internal policies and core values.”

Mmhmm

If you use ZFS this becomes easy, because you can do incremental backups at the block level.

I have my home lab server and do snapshots and sends to a server at my fathers house. Then I also have an external drive that I snapshot to as well.

Misleading title, though. Not Home Assistant, but a Home Assistant Integration.

Yup. Or perhaps pay into features, like full-page content inside the post. I.e. offset the revenue of the click. Oddly enough, that model would replace ads, too.

Because zero-click internet kills the revenue model. It’s unfortunate, but understandable until something better comes along.

Would love to see a co-op model spring up where views on sites like Lemmy generate revenue for publications without the click. I.E. pay $1 a month to a shared fund that’s distributed by percentage.

I believe at this level it’s called favors.

I hear this one a lot, but the purpose of the “move fast and break things” methodology is to make things better. In some cases, that does work, and it’s usually applied with benefit in mind.

Shock and awe might be more appropriate. Do as many things as possible to stun the population, so only the dedicated will push back.

Yup, my servers just run bare Debian and ZFS and I have backup scripts that parse the docker compose files for how often to run and keep backups.

Yea, I guess because they are “selling” vs being compensated for? If the US govt dictates terms to that business under homeland security, GDPR probably wouldn’t matter, but I can only assume since it’s a sale, that’s not the case.

Assuming the data doesn’t include international departures or arrivals (only their domestic counterparts), would GDPR even apply?

FSD? Fake Self Driving? False Self Driving? F#@& Says Driver?

Computer science is going to be q commodity job. Prediction of three tiers:

• Tier 1: No education requirement. I write code and build things. Large percentage of developers.
• Tier 3: Science based, high education working on algorithms, physics, and other elements requiring an understanding of matters in deeper education
• Tier 2: Right in between 1 and 3, may require formal education, but definitely experience. Will understand applications of high science, and can both program well and manage teams. Will replace current nontechnical middle management, because who needs that when the market is flooded

We’ve been headed this way for years, AI is just speeding it up.
