Funding boost? Didn’t they make a big deal with OpenAI or some other LLM provider like 6 months ago?

Edit: I looked it up and it was both Google and OpenAI, but more than a year ago. But I guess that’s what you get as LLM users use those instead of visiting your website, and non-LLM users stop contributing

Afaik the maintainer(s) have provided a reasonable explanation and cleared up the reproducible builds part

Just use the appropriate command for the hash type, i.e. sha256sum <filename> (iirc, might be wrong, man is your friend)

So much freedom of speech

But yeah fuck the author and everyone else using the “pay or be tracked” scheme. If you want to show ads to non subscribers, fine. But there’s no reason to require tracking users to do so - if non-tracked ads are less profitable, take it up with the ad networks.

Just installed, looks pretty nice and works well in my limited testing. I like that you can follow one creator and see their YouTube, Nebula, and Patreon videos in one place

A friendly reminder that “AI toys” have no AI in them, they’re only an internet-connected microphone.

As people living outside the US know, these bubbles (like 2008) don’t lead to a crisis of their sector, but of the US economy at large which in turn, very unfortunately, affects everything else. Wall Street is held up by the Nvidia/OpenAI/Oracle holy trinity, and once that crashes it’s not only taking LLMs and GPUs with it

Capitalism, especially late stage, requires to keep “creating value” and more “territory” (money) to grow into. Printing dollars and using cryptocurrencies as collateral is just doing that.

Yes, it started when they gutted the non-profit oversight and charter. The illness is called capitalism.

And management will lead by example right?

…right?

No I’m not using Kali for “hacking” I’m experimenting if I can play games on it

Sorry but… why on earth would you do that? Kali is a specialized distro, it’s not made for day to day desktop use, much less for gaming on it. If you want to game on Linux, pick either a generic or gaming-oriented distro, and use Kali in a VM or dualboot.

SEO started killing the internet long before the genAI wave yeah. I was also always a bit mad at the concept in general. Surely search engine optimization is something for… search engines, not websites? I hate that we ended up changing the way we create websites in order to appease The Machine, instead of it getting better at surfacing quality content

Congratulations, now your “good” servers are dead from the extra load and you also have a queue of shit to go through once you’re back up, making the problem worse. Running a terabit-scale proxy network isn’t exactly easy, the amount of moving parts interacting with each other is insane. I highly suggest reading some of their postmortems, they’re usually really well written and very informative if you want to learn more about the failures they’ve encountered, the processes to handle them, and their immediate remediations

Did they though? Aside from the “every outage is a latent bug” angle, from their postmortem it doesn’t seem to me like they tried to blame it on anything but their failure to contain the spread of (and timely diagnose) the issue

No, in “DevOps” environments “configuration changes” is most of what you do every day

Plus the guys who are hired to ensure that systems don’t fail even under inexperienced or malicious employees, management who designs and enforces the whole system, etc… “one guy fucked up and needs to be fired” is just a toxic mentality that doesn’t actually address the chain of conditions that led to the situation
