I have an old folder of pokemon cards from my childhood. Apparently, that folder is worth thousands. I have first editions of a lot of the first cards and they are all in near mint condition. Im not selling, as they have sentimental value + my local shops would probably rip me off.

Linters make these kind of things easier. Then you get mad at the tool rather than your coworker.

mesamunefire OP ,

Ive seen a couple people recommend Gitea. I might give it a shot.

First time ive heard of Codeberg. Thanks!

[Urgent] How do you know your computer or phone isn't spying on you ?

This maybe a dumb question but i became paranoid all of a sudden and wanted some answers because i can't find it anywhere else nor can i sleep without it. Like even if i did flash linux on a lets say amd laptop couldn't the chip itself be spying on me ? Also i understand bootloaders are stored or rom is there a way to know what...

mesamunefire ,

Throw it on pihole, you can see all traffic coming and going through your house. Also a great anti-advertise option.

In my experience, theres a lot less spying and a lot more BS/bad scripts checking in, but you do you.

I like quite a few of the HFY sci Fi.

Finally deleted my reddit account after the AI news. What communities do you recommend on lemmy?

Ive been on reddit for more than a decade. Kinda bittersweet, but its not the first time I have moved on from an internet site. I just cant support reddit and sucking up all my posts for AI purposes. Feels terrible and spammy. Ive been a reddit premium holder for many many years....

mesamunefire ,

Baen library I think did something like that.

mesamunefire ,

I liked it back in the day.

mesamunefire ,

Funny thing Google plus took this idea from Diaspora, a social media platform that is still around.

mesamunefire ,

Quite a bit of the central valley and mountains too.

It would be better for them to use Activity hub or at least hook into it. Leverage Mastodon/other services.

My real worry with Google's voyage into enshittification (thanks to Cory Doctorow @pluralistic the term) is YouTube.

Through YT, for the past 15 years, the world has basically entrusted Google to be the custodian of pretty much our entire global video archive.

There's countless hours of archived footage — news reports, political speeches, historical events, documentaries, indie films, academic lectures, conference presentations, rare recordings, concert footage, obscure music — where the best or only copy is now held by Google through YouTube.

So what happens if maintaining that archival footage becomes unprofitable?

mesamunefire ,

Archive.org is where a lot of these videos are getting archived.

Has anyone here built a Beowulf Cluster? ( spinoff.nasa.gov )

A university near me must be going through a hardware refresh, because they've recently been auctioning off a bunch of ~5 year old desktops at extremely low prices. The only problem is that you can't buy just one or two. All the auction lots are batches of 10-30 units....

I did a whole ago just to see what it was all about. Then got rid of the setup a week later. It's a cool project but I needed the other boxes. If you need a huge amount of parallel operations (and want to self host) it's a decent option.

mesamunefire ,

It would be nice to set that at the settings level and have it auto populated instead of asking each time on a post.

mesamunefire OP ,

I love the idea of charging and easy to replace batteries.

mesamunefire OP ,

Repairability. A battery should be able to be replaced.

Having options is good for the consumer.

mesamunefire ,

I worked there AMA.

I still dont have access to my 401k.

mesamunefire ,

There was a DJ over there for weeks on end. Like every day, DJ was out in the parking lot. It was surreal coming into the job and wondering why the were paying for a DJ to come to a mostly empty parking lot/building.

mesamunefire ,

Sounds silly but I would love to buy a kit.

mesamunefire ,

Yep got one of Ben eaters kits in the back.
