All current popular AI is meant to run on GPU. Why are you going to spend more money to run it on hardware for which it isn’t intended?

All I know is that most people just want to live their lives without hurting anyone else.

I wish it were “all people.”

“Oooommmmmm … Ooooommmmm”

<deep breath>

<2 minutes guttural screaming>

“eh, I’ll try again next time”

I mean - I probably got to live the very best of the 90s Americana as a suburban kid with an old computer and a modem in it.

I still saw a lot of shit going on in the world. I mean … AIDS pandemic, anyone? Remember fear around shaking someone’s hand?

Sometimes I think the problem is that at any GIVEN time, like 2/3 of people aren’t paying attention to what is happening outside their own immediate experience.

Not to mention all the shit that wasn’t being captured on any kind of recording at the time.

The rose tint feels so fuckin good tho, right?

Life is the most fatal condition for humans life.

That for me, receiving a crying emoji on a post doesn’t make me feel more connected to people.

I said that if that works for you and makes you feel connected, then Facebook would indeed offer connection for you. It doesn’t for me.

I am not sure why you seemingly got mad about it.

If zero effort bits posted to your page make you feel that connected, then Facebook might be for you.

Leave Facebook for a month. Tell people how to reach you on there before you go. You’ll forget why you ever went to that site.

The N100 is a nice little chip for mini home servers. I run podman containers for all media stuff with no issues. You’re gonna have fun.

so uh … I’ve been sorta contemplating preinastalled hardware. Think a mini pc you plug into your router. Or even a minipc that replaces your router and has a clean UI for picking a handful of curated self-hosted stuff you want.

You could buy the hardware as a simple jumping off point to learn more or (and here is where I am not sure if there’s a market) you could pay me (or other sysadmins like me) to support it.

What if self-hosted stuff worked a bit like your HVAC,. electrical or plumbing?

We are doing great work together pushing the bounda of scientific knowledge! 😂

Note: I have no idea how brains work.

A joke is just lighting up an unexpected or long unused connection in the brain. 🤷‍♂️

Sokath, his eyes uncovered!

Not only that, I am reading angry commenter’s comments from an mbin instance. 🤷‍♂️

I think the people who grew up a bit later may feel this more keenly than some of us olds who used to have to use the yellow pages.

Mprotect stops any read and write and execute access to memory in both user and kernel lands (only rx or wx). Stuff like web browsers won’t work unless you have a program to mark it in elf to not use pax. However, this kills a lot of exploits with that turned on by itself (though there are probably work arounds if you are developing exploits which the other features would hopefully catch). That’s why people installed 3rd party unmainlined security patches, but that’s just me maybe idk.

I am having a hard time following what this does or why this is desirable. You’re saying there’s a patch this thing provides that … disables memory access … unless a flag is set in an executable … which will then bypass the security?

Why would anyone want to run unmainlined security patches from a company?

This is how CrowdStrike happened.

This feels like security via business decision which is always the opposite of security. At least this would be open source now? 🤷‍♂️
