  • Personally? Vibes. Specifically, it feels very... uniform. Like, a human artist good enough to draw like that would be better at composition, I think?

    More practically, even the newer ones struggle with specific shapes; look at the arch, no human would draw that weird hybrid of an arch and a... semi-donut?

    Older models struggle with lining stuff up and keeping things straight over long distances. The latest ones struggle with constant curvatures.

  • AI sucks

  • It's (genuinely) interesting that big-time AI enthusiasts always assume that if you dislike AI, it's because you don't know how to use it (and not because they have different priorities or have conceptual issues with it or such). It was the same thing with crypto and NFTs.

    I know a good amount of very skilled developers who tried AI several times in different contexts, and always found the tradeoffs much too bad to be worth it (in terms of accuracy, precision, cost, speed, whatever), and yet they still get "oh you just haven't tried my favorite AI tool".

  • It's to get around a bug on some platforms where the Referer header isn't set properly. Basically when you click the link in the app (maybe other platforms too idk), it can't set the Referer, so website statistics can't know what came from bsky. This was in their changelog. It used to already work correctly on desktop, though.

  • Fair enough! The disadvantage is that, as opposed to Dropbox and similar, I have go into a file at the root of the synced folder, rather than keeping that config near to where itcs relevant.

    Thanks for the names!

  • I tried with both, but I didn't figure out how if such an option exists. I did manage to do the opposite (keeping files uploaded but not having them locally), both with and without VFS (with VFS it's in a context menu in nautilus, without it's in the desktop app).

  • it does! I use it to sync my music, but I feel like it's not the right tool for the job here.

    I don't want to "have the folders connected", I want to have the ability to sync files easily, while excluding specific folders and files.

    File sync without wasting bandwidth

    Hey,

    I want to be able to access my projects from my laptop and my desktop, without syncing build folders (patterns are okay for this) or large data folders (manually selected is preferable for those). A bonus would be to be able to selectively keep files remote to use less storage space.

    I also want to sync some regular documents and class notes, but everything is able to do that at least.

    Syncthing "works" for this, but it doesn't have a web file browser or a "main" hoster, so I don't think it's quite the right tool.

    I recently installed owncloud, and its desktop sync can almost do this, but it can't keep files local without uploading them (otherwise it seems pretty good!). Seafile hasn't worked at all for me, and ime nextcloud is decently painful and has way too many features I don't need at all.

    Am I using the wrong tool for the job? Is there a way to accomplish what I want to accomplish?

  • I like this image :)

    (What follows is a rambly half-vent tirade about my own gender)

    For me a lot of my thinking ends up in "yeah I'm definitely a girl uggh that's gonna be so annoying". It's not a choice and it's a thing that requires immense amounts of effort... but everyone says it's worth it, so I gotta drag myself along to avoid regretting it later (and it has been worth it, too). Meanwhile I'd already internalized that gender is bullshit, so I was theoretically fine with being a guy but apparently not in practice. Everything would be easier if I were a guy (or more generally cis, but it's p hard to be a cis girl for me by now lol), but I'm not and so... incredible amounts of time energy and money it is!

    Anyway the point is: I like this image, because it just... cuts through all of that. No qualifications on it, just. Yay!

  • Wait, so OpenAI's whole kerfuffle here is based on nothing directly stated (e.g. in the paper like I thought), and worse, almost certainly completely unfounded?

    Wow just when I thought they couldn't get more ridiculous...

  • Messages from my friends are the one kind of message I don't do this on, because I'm way too online and also doing anything mean to my friends makes me feel way too guilty (and I mostly fuel my motivation through guilt and fear of failure)

    Server box just died, recommendations for a new one?

    My Intel NUC server just died (whenever it's plugged in, it makes a buzzing noise, and the external power LED is off (the internal one is on tho)), so I need a new server box. Any recommendations?

    I can salvage the RAM (16 GB DDR4) and hard drive (1TB HDD) off of this one, I believe.

    Server maybe? causing "suspicious activity detected" message on android

    So, I live with my parents, and I recently (a few months, but I've been using it a lot more the past few weeks) set up a personal home server on an intel NUC I got secondhand (which I wiped and all). We have 2 routers/access points (idk the terminology; two boxes with antennas that we can connect to, both for the same network, one of which is connected to the house internet and the other connected to the first via a 5 GHz connection iirc). My server is connected via ethernet to the secondary AP.

    Anyway, my parents have been complaining about my server maybe causing issues with the internet. We've been having issues forever, but this is "new issues", and I can't actually guarantee it's not because of it so I kinda have to look into it. The symptoms are:

    • General connection issues (these I'm pretty sure are not any different)
    • On one phone, "suspicious activity detected" when connected to the network, automatically disconnecting the phone (this does seem actually new, and potentially

    is it better to use subdomains or paths?

    I have a few selfhosted services, but I'm slowly adding more. Currently, they're all in subdomains like linkding.sekoia.example etc. However, that adds DNS records to fetch and means more setup. Is there some reason I shouldn't put all my services under a single subdomain with paths (using a reverse proxy), like selfhosted.sekoia.example/linkding?

    Admin appreciation post :)

    I just want to say that the admins here are great and deserve appreciation, especially during this whole kerfuffle with Reddit :)

    Have a good one, mods and admins!
