Cool idea. But since it doesn’t seem to be open source and self-hostable, I won’t trust it.

smiletolerantly@awful.systemsto Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ@lemmy.dbzer0.com•How can everyone on a private tracker maintain seed ratios above 1? Is it mathematically impossible?English34·4 days agoOn many trackers, you get “paid” for time seeded. Usually in the forms of bonus points or the like. You can then exchange these for improving your ratio (or a freeleech token, or an invite,…).
It’s a system that also rewards keeping media available even if you are not uploading to anyone.
Also, keep in mind that often, a large part of the available content is freeleech (meaning leeching it doesn’t affect your ratio), but seeding those torrents usually still does improve your ratio.
smiletolerantly@awful.systemsto Technology@lemmy.world•Duolingo CEO says AI is a better teacher than humans—but schools will exist ‘because you still need childcare’English3·5 days agoPimsleur. It’s very different than Duolingo, in that it is almost entirely audio-based. However, at least in my experience, it actually gets you to the point of speaking and understanding a language much more rapidly than Duolingo. Way, way less gamified though. It expects you to put in half an hour a day where you just concentrate on the lesson.

smiletolerantly@awful.systemsto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Self-hosting is having a moment. Ethan Sholly knows why.English2·6 days agoSorry, I should have mentioned: liking bare-metal does not mean disliking abstraction.
I would absolutely go insane if I had to go back to installing and managing each and every services in their preferred way/config file/config language, and to diy backup solutions, and so on.
I’m currently managing all of that through a single nix config, which doesn’t only take care of 90% of the overhead, it also contains all config in a single, self-documenting, language.
YES, WATCH STEINS;GATE!
Not Steins;Gate Zero though, that’s a sequel.
The most common criticism is that the first handful of episodes are slow, but I hard disagree. Every moment is either re-contextualized later on, or is important character work.
smiletolerantly@awful.systemsto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Self-hosting is having a moment. Ethan Sholly knows why.English2·7 days agoNice. My partner has a Proxmox setup, so we’ve adapted the Nix config to spin up new VMs of any machine with a single command.

Maybe I should have clarified that liking bare-metal does not imply disliking abstraction
smiletolerantly@awful.systemsto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Self-hosting is having a moment. Ethan Sholly knows why.English61·8 days agoContainers != services.
I don’t think I am better than anyone. I jumped into these comments because docker was pushed as superior, unprompted.
Installing and configuring does not an expert make, agreed; but that’s not what I said.
I would say I’m pretty knowledgeable about the things I host though, seeing as I am a contributor and / or package maintainer for a number of them…
smiletolerantly@awful.systemsto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Self-hosting is having a moment. Ethan Sholly knows why.English10·8 days agoThey are using a hosting provider - their dad.
“The cloud” is also just a bunch of machines in a basement. Lots of machines in lots of “basements”, but still.
smiletolerantly@awful.systemsto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Self-hosting is having a moment. Ethan Sholly knows why.English8·8 days agoOK, but I’d rather be the expert.
And I have no troubling spinning up new services, fast. Currently sitting at around ~30 Internet-facing services, 0 docker containers, and reproducing those installs from scratch + restoring backups would be a single command plus waiting 5 minutes.
smiletolerantly@awful.systemsto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Self-hosting is having a moment. Ethan Sholly knows why.English7·8 days agoNo, I actually think that is a good analogy. If you just want to have something up and running and use it, that’s obviously totally fine and valid, and a good use-case of Docker.
What I take issue with is the attitude which the person I replied to exhibits, the “why would anyone not use docker”.
I find that to be a very weird reaction to people doing bare metal. But also I am biased. ~30 Internet facing services, 0 docker in use 😄
smiletolerantly@awful.systemsto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Self-hosting is having a moment. Ethan Sholly knows why.English72·8 days agoI would say yes, it’s still self-hosting. It’s probably not “home labbing”, but it’s still you responsible for all the services you host yourself, it’s just the hardware which is managed by someone else.
Also don’t let people discourage you from doing bare-metal.
smiletolerantly@awful.systemsto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Self-hosting is having a moment. Ethan Sholly knows why.English12·8 days agoYeah why wouldn’t you want to know how things work!
I obviously don’t know you, but to me it seems that a majority of Docker users know how to spin up a container, but have zero knowledge of how to fix issues within their containers, or to create their own for their custom needs.

smiletolerantly@awful.systemsto ADHD memes@lemmy.dbzer0.com•Do they just think about the same fuckin' thing forever?English6·13 days agoAFAIK I’m neurotypical… No, trains of thought like these are common (see also other respondents on here), and they can also happen in the blink of an eye. It’s just that when the question or comment has formed, I’ll make a mental note to either ask/mention it later after the current topic has concluded, if I think the other person also has interest in hearing it, or to google it later if not. Or to just drop the thought if I come to the conclusion that it doesn’t matter all that much to myself either.
smiletolerantly@awful.systemsto TechTakes@awful.systems•AI computers aren’t selling because users don’t careEnglish3·19 days agoNumpad/pin input. Utterly useless in my opinion. Also apparently activates itself pretty regularly by accident from palms resting when typing. YouTube comments are full of people desperate for a windows/driver update which lets you deactivate this thing.
Oh, btw, I did not go through the trouble of enabling support under Linux (you can, but it’s optional, because, well… Linux)
smiletolerantly@awful.systemsto TechTakes@awful.systems•AI computers aren’t selling because users don’t careEnglish3·20 days agoI think it’s a matter of preference. Haven’t noticed the screen being a mirror yet, but then again I feel like any even mildly matte screen looks like it’s being viewed through a veil…
I am a bit worried/curious about how the oled will deal with my very static waybars though, lol
Ah, my bad then! I didn’t see a repo linked in the post or on the site. That’s great, then!
