Everyone knows that transwomen prefer Rust due to its borrow checker which ensures memory safety without the overhead of garbage collection.

I mean… There are free and super cheap assets that can be used for temporary placement. Plus I’m not against someone using AI for their assets.

My point is, if someone’s gonna use two years or more of their lives for making a game, using AI art is going to go against them.

As someone with a game collection so large I won’t able to finish in two lifetimes, game art is important enough to make me decide for a game and not for another one.

It is so true that certain games do not reach wider audiences because their art style is not as skilled as in other projects.

I find AI art derivative, mediocre and dull. It IS of surprising quality and at the same time incredibly boring. And I feel this blob of grey will increase as it becomes standardized and more AI art games become the norm.

Corollary: If someone shows you a picture made by AI and tells you nothing but to rate it, you’ll probably just shrug.

Let me check dmesg:

amdgpu 0000:03:00.0: amdgpu: failed to write reg 291c wait reg 292e

or

[46531.357889] amdgpu 0000:c5:00.0: [drm] ERROR lttpr_caps phy_repeater_cnt is 0xff, forcing it to 0x80.

Let me know if more examples are needed ;)

I gave a bit of a heads-up on a different thread, but the TLDR is that I use usb for the main disk and there’s an issue with usb in the latest uboot for rk3328. I tried flashing the SPI to an early version but as soon as I would update a kernel to LTS, I would start having problems.

To be honest, I feel that this is a solvable issue, but also that I’m done trying to make these cards work on my own. (I wasted a lot of time and money fixing the eemc modules and the sockets).

At this point I reached a conclusion that I would use my selfhosting time to focus on software and networks, and just use reliable hardware, even if it means doing less and paying more, and leave soldering for my diy projects.

That said, the Rock64 pro sbcs I have are still going strong despite being used non-stop for the last 5-6 years.

Rock64s had several issues with emmc slots, however one way I had to circumvent it was flashing the SPI allowing me to boot from usb, following the official guide: https://github.com/ayufan-rock64/linux-build/blob/master/recipes/flash-spi.md

The issue here is that with the recent updates on u-boot, some older models have issues with old u-boot systems, and while I can flash again to the previous working SPI and u-boot, I can’t make it work with the latest lts kernel.

Could it be solved? Sure, if I invest time solving the issue and compiling my own kernel version, I guess.

Is it worth it? My time is more limited than my money. I’ll rather some cash on three rpi5 or similar, than wasting more time on a set of cards that have been failing on several things for the past five years. (lattepandas and rock 64 pro had no issue during the same amount of time)

At the end of the day, I like selfhosting services but I also like having free time :)

Thanks, that is one of my biggest concerns. Rpi5 is on my radar, despite the supply situation that often plagues rpies

Plus keeping the phone far from bed is always a good idea.

Probably this will help as well at the arr end: https://forums.sonarr.tv/t/automatic-blacklist-malware/37822

There’s a Skyrim mod that uses (optionally) a local LLM to chat with NPCs. In addition you can also use speech to text and tts to just speak with the NPCs.

However, there’s a lot of lag to make it a proper experience.

You are confusing privacy with anonymity. You aren’t anonymous because your user is linked to a phone number, but your communications are private due to how their encryption works.

On the location attack: it is a matter of configuration and your location will be as ambiguous as thousands of miles.

Wikipedia started having very few but also very dedicated users.

My concern is that lemmy/mbin servers have an imbalance on posting users where a selected few do most of the posting.

I thought FOMO would hit me, but it didn’t. I like that I can recognize most users, that conversations are small and that it isn’t a popularity contest gorging on corporate interests.

That said, I’m always worried that the 'ole lemmy/mbin thing depends on a very select group of users whom are very active publishers.

Then again, that’s how my favorite site on the internet was for a-la-la-la-long time.

Me thinks that’s the point where time freezes.

Thank you Ollama.

How high are you rn?

I was mostly joking, I like that there are multiple options amd we can still interact with each other.

Is that Interstellar, or another one?

But there’s mbin which is clearly the SUPERIOR alternative.

So… What they found under the sofa cushions?
