If we ignore privacy and open-source considerations for a moment, Vivaldi has been one of my favorite browsers. They embraced vertical tabs, they offer customizability instead of forcing everyone into the same mold, and it doesn’t have all the anti-features (AI specifically) that some other browsers have.
I’m gonna give them a high five while continuing to use LibreWolf/IronFox.
Does she also ask you anytime she wants something printed? Mine does!
I saw a DIY open-hardware printer somewhere recently that uses a long butcher paper style paper roll and ink tanks. I’m intrigued. I don’t really use all the smart printer functions anyway.
Too true. I’ve spent more late nights arguing with CUPS than everyone I’ve dated in my whole life.
Advertisement is just misappropriated space that could have been used for art.
If AI is so great, he could have avoided all this drama by just getting an AI mistress. What’s up with that Huang?
Those, “your friend likes shitty product x” ads will now include a deepfake of your friend’s endorsement.
To be honest, I personally would rather be nonconsentually deepfaked with a 2 inch penis than put into a conconsentual ad for a product I don’t endorse.
I’m gonna forward this article to DuckDuckGo and Kagi. I imagine they could help the school district do what Google can’t.
I suspect your suspicion is accurate. Scanning with BLE or a flipper shows the coolers at my local grocery also. It’s like the cars, they won’t secure it until someone makes it and even then they’ll secure it against their customers freedom, not hackers.
I worked at my local Goodwill (they’re split up by region). We kept a close eye on known shoplifters, but we couldn’t say anything and even my boss couldn’t say anything unless he literally saw them conceal the object then walk out of the store and never broke eye contact. They said the store could get sued if we stopped them and they had ditched the contraband in the moment we looked away.
I don’t see why the stores discussed here should be treated differently. Someone needs to sue these surveillance stores until they stop automating false accusations.
Here’s info on what’s up and the workaround if you still want to. You may have an easier time than me if you have more experience with this sort of thing.

The NVIDIA 50-series Blackwell cards require the use of the new open GPU kernel module, but several of NVIDIA’s older generations of GPUs - including the Maxwell, Pascal, and Volta generations - lack the GPU System Processor (GSP) module on their silicon in order to leverage the open kernel module, and thus will no longer function. This includes the GTX 700-series, 900-GTX series, GTX 10-series, the Quadro M-series and P-series, and Tesla M-series and P-series cards.
Here’s the detail. Sounds like the support for the new cards messed up the old cards, but it sounds like they might be working on a comparability fix. I use open drivers on some other systems. I don’t remember why I didn’t consider that a option here. This server has lived many lives and it’s mission continues to change and refocus all the time. Thanks for the reply.
A bit, I would have to weigh the cost of a $100 GTX 1660 vs a $300 GTX 3060 (US, based on my local used prices). $100 might buy me a few years, $300 might buy me a few more years, but could also buy me a dud or a burnout card. I think I might give the weaker card a try and save the money so I can avoid a mortgage the next time I need to upgrade a laptop. :D
Thanks for the suggestion. I looked into the P series cards a bit and here is what I found:

Looks like the 16xx is the lowest cards supported by TrueNAS without extra work. There’s a few used 1660s in my area for ~$100. I might give that a try. If it doesn’t work out, I won’t be despairing for weeks about a $100 card, and if it does work, I’ll replace one of the 1080s with a 1660 for TrueNAS to use as an apps card and leave the other 1080 to pass through to the VM for Home Assistant. That said, I’m still open to options, so if anyone thinks I’m silly for considering this, tell me what you think.
The A2000 came up as an option a few times. It’s more expensive and mildly more capable, though a commenter on that loser Spez’s site said they had stability issues due to it being a workstation card. I’m not playing games, so I may not run into the same issues.
I’ve considered Proxmox, and know a few people who use it, but I think the added features, complexity, learning something new, might be too much for me right now. There’s a lot going on in my life, in my family and in my country and my human operating system is struggling to free up resources. Long term though, this is the goal. I don’t know if I have the drives lying around to build a new machine and migrate everything at the moment anyway. If I recall correctly, Proxmox doesn’t use ZFS. Migrating truenas is theoretically as easy as backing up my config file and password seeds and reinstalling, it seems to just pick up the hardware on the next boot. I’m just not sure if I have options outside the typical gamer cards like RTX.
Somewhere in the forest there exists a tree planted just to replace the oxygen Sam Altman wastes. He should find it and apologize.
This guy is really trying to piss people off with his stupid fucking ideas and acting like he should lead humanity into his vision of the future.
Apparently Facebook forbids saying you hope someone gets a disease, gets killed by a natural disaster, dies without a specific perpetrator or method, or gets smited by a deity or absence thereof…no joke.
Anyway, I don’t want to step on the wrong side of our cyberlords /s so I’ll just say this:
Fuck Sam Altman. I hope he sees that no one likes him, his ideas are dumber than AI generated slop, his parents left his stroller in the sun too long, and I hope he eats some South American beef.
Everything changes I guess. Good to hear that it’s solid now. There was a time when AOL was not ahead of the pack and was kind of seen as a remnant of the dial-up era and one of those old-folk companies.
Pushing people into echo chambers isn’t even needed because people do that themselves. If you’re gonna profile people, autosubscribe all the libs to r/guns and all the conservatives to r/gender theory. At best people will learn something; at worst we’ll get a show.
Also, fuck Spez and fuck surveillance capitalism.
This is like owning a million pounds of dog shit and making sure you lock your garage so nobody steals it while you are out.
There has to be way more info out there on the internet now than in 2001, but because of these kinds of assholes it’s mostly unsearchable, and locked in walled gardens. I hope someday soon Reddit is met with more laughter, dismissal, and cringing than an AOL email address. I hope Spez eats some of that South American beef and shits himself.
Sounds like they’re trying to burn though the GPUs in peoples machines that still aren’t exclusively under their control. Also, I imagine this would also necessitate renting your CPU cycles and hard drive space to make it work.
Putting aside any privacy implications which make it an automatic no for me:
I don’t think it would be worth it for me except for ram. I haven’t put in 128GB or anything, but even with what I have, I’m often under-utilizing it if I’m just reading Lemmy or something.
