I’m on bazzite with a GTX980, and it’s been working flawlessly, so it’s not age. I assume you did

Thanks, got a new term today.

Yup, call the virtue signalling bitches out, open weights is fine, which is not to say I don’t appreciate local LLMs being given out, even if it’s just for the free research on their models, but open source it is not.

Someone just removed many lifetimes of CO2 emissions with a couple of lines of code.

Shame that usage will just expand to fill the gap. Thanks late stage capitalism. Degrowth.

I like FreshRSS in a container, works great from a browser, and you can hit it from your phone on the loo…

Yeah, I was younger then, perhaps less disciplined, and as always, given enough work you can decompile or regenerate anything. Still, I contend, the nature of Perl, powerful as it was, lent itself to unmaintainable messes, and I’m not talking regex’s, which is why it has faded, no amount of get gud withstanding.

I upvoted you because I consider Perl write only (used to know it, now it inspires readable code as a high priority)

Eh, that moment when you get a different error message tho ;)

woof

Not wrong.

My favourite encapsulism of Daoism is…(paraphrased, possibly a profound joke)

A Buddhist will go with the flow down a river, as will a Taoist, but the Taoist will paddle at the right time to choose (something).

Doo Eeeet, Doo EEeet Now!!!

Seriously though, I vote VM under linux. Spin it up for whatever you need, use it less and less, no regrets…

I feel the pain.

Nah, saw someone else doing it and wanted the phrase…

It’s the XY Problem. Champion.

It also exposes a proxy (and a tun), most things you want behind a vpn can use a proxy.

This looks promising. Not sure if fully baked yet, was going to circle back to it in a month or two. If you try, let me know…

I fucking hate discord

It’s Cancer, have an upvote.

You’re not wrong, but here we are, talking open source and GPL licences. If you can make a game portal work, or the web in general, it’s viable, your ISP is a choke point though, agreed. Was more talking about an easy stack like the 'arrs, but for webrings, just an idea…

So would people having webpages instead of social media accounts

And there’s your problem… (in the voice of Jamie Hyneman, Mythbusters). To see a real return of webrings, people would need to have (make) their own pages and curate some links.

Thinking about it, with the rise of selfhosted, it’s actually really viable, cobble together a docker stack with a WYSIWYG HTML editor somewhat oriented to the task (pretty sure something out there can be repurposed), a web server, proxy, and that’s about it (probably missing a fair bit, not my bailiwick, still, once the stack is made and solid, I’m guessing many would host, I would). Set a threshold of how many people you’re willing to host, say 50 or whatever so you’re able to check for CSAM or other legal minefields, and Bob’s your uncle, stir in some solid security to keep it isolated if you’re using it at home (or VPS) and it’s golden.

OK, more complicated than I initially thought, and it’s way less friction to use something like faceplant, which is entirely their point. Still, I think, if given the opportunity, and functional tools, and low enough friction, many would prefer to have a hand curated presence on the web above a facebook page.

I’ll stop, but thanks for the interesting thought seed.
