It doesn’t need all that. All the complexity is because of stuff that’s been added to the spec. 500ma@5v will just work if all you only connect is + & -

Tribler has inbuilt onion routing. If I understand it correctly, tribler <-> tribler connections don’t need exit nodes and it’s fast enough to stream video

Is there any plans for yunohost integration?

I’d love to self host piefed just so I can munge my peertube and threadiverse feeds.

I wonder if she signed an NDA that prevents her from saying she was greeted on her last day by a manic sweaty wide-eyed Elon musk demanding he be referred to as mechahitler.

I have a friend who went on holiday in Amsterdam. Got a flight back home. When he got in the taxi from the airport, the driver asks if he smokes weed. “Yeah a bit. Why?” “Cause you’ve got a bud stuck to your hat”. Dude managed to go through customs with weed on full display on his beanie and didn’t get caught out.

In Britain we have a pressure group that’s inexplicably on TV every other week pedalling this lie and the one that corporation tax hurts businesses. (Corporation tax is paid on net profits, so businesses only pay if they can afford it).

What’s funny is they’re called the “taxpayers alliance” yet their narrative suggests none of them actually have any experience of paying tax.

Join a union and ask for their advice. Even if there’s limitations on what they can do as it seems the process has already started, they’ll still be able to advise on what you’re able to do deal with constructive dismissal.

Look for another job. It’s way easier to find work when you’re in work and don’t have to explain why you’re not at your last job.

Do both of these things. Your health isn’t going to benefit working at a place where you’re not wanted, even if they can’t just fire you.

Oh and if you’re in a country where you’re allowed a representative in meetings and you can take one, always have your union rep there, no matter how friendly it seems.

Tesla/Musk.

Back in 2014 Tesla and Ecotricity had an agreement to upgrade Ecotricity’s charging network to be compatible with Tesla’s superchargers. Tesla whined that it wasn’t being rolled out fast enough. Ecotricity wasn’t a very big company and was basically working for free, so asked Tesla to actually support the roll out if they needed it faster. Musk went mental has been trying to destroy the company ever since. The 2014 Tesla patent release was never about collaboration or saving the planet, he just hoped somebody, somewhere would use it to undermine Ecotricity.

If you want to try the openwebui route, This guide might be helpful.

Edit: in fact I don’t think this is for openwebui specifically, but I remember the chapter at the timestamp is what helped me increase the context window. That’s the important bit if you’re wanting to ask it questions about documents.

What would these deltas look like? It’d be hard to anonymise and protect from abuse?

Personally I’d be happy to share my likes and watch times, but I know some people worry about that.

It’s funny how Macklemore’s redemption for humiliating Kendrick Lamar is humiliating Kendrick Lamar again.

Why though? I’ve genuinely never had a problem with it. If something is wrong, it was always going to be wrong. Why is it preferable to have to write a bunch of bolierplate than just deal with the stacktrace when you do encounter a type error?

Random fact: The guy that did the hook a Macklemore’s thrift shop was partially responsible for that.

It’s a failure on the part of mastodon. I don’t really care about whatever drama dansup is embroiled in. Mastodon shouldn’t imply a post is only readable by followers when it’s just a public post that doesn’t show by default in their frontend.

Honestly pixelfed should have just not fixed it. It’s a fediverse problem that can be fixed and mastodon is just misleading people.

Platforms should either make it clear that it means just that the post isn’t advertised by default on all platforms but is always accessible to anyone that wants it or actually implement e2e encryption.

As funny as this is, I’d rather people understood how the AI actually works. It doesn’t reveal secrets because it doesn’t have any. It’s not aware that Musk is trying to tweak it. It’s not coming to logical conclusions the way a person would. It’s simply trying to create a sensible statement based on what’s statistically likely based on all the stolen content that it’s trained on. It just so happens that Musk gets called out for lying so often that grok infers it when it gets conflicting data.

Yeah I’m into indie hip hop and medieval beekeepers

When it comes to searching the database, the index will have already been created. When you create an index, it might take a while as the database engine reads all the data and creates a structure to shadow it. Each engine is probably different and I don’t know if any work exactly like that, but it’s an intuitive way to understand the basics of how B-trees work. You don’t really need to think much about how it works, just that if you want to use a column as a filter, you want to index it.

However, when you’re thinking about the structure of a database it’s a good idea to think what you’ll want to do with it before hand and how you’ll structure queries. Sometimes searching columns without an index is unavoidable and then you’ve got to come up with other tricks to speed up your search. Like your doctor might find you (i’m presuming gaz is sort for gary and/or gareth here) with a query like SELECT * FROM patients WHERE birthdate = "01-01-1980" AND firstname LIKE "gar%" The db engine will first filter by birthdate which will massively reduce the amount of times it has to do the more intensive LIKE operation.

If there’s something you want to search by in a database, you should index it.

Indexing will create an ordered data structure that will allow much faster queries. If you were looking for the username gazter in an unindexed column, it would have to check literally every username entry. In a table of 1000000 entries it would check 1000000 times.

In an indexed column it might do something like ask to be pointed to every name beginning with “g”, then of those ask to be pointed to every name with the second letter “a” and so on. It would find out where in the database gazter is by checking only six times.

Substring matching is much more computationally difficult as it has to pull out each potentially matching value and run it through a function that checks if gazter exists somewhere in that value. Basically if you find yourself doing it you need to come up with a better plan.

Cartesian explosion would be when your query ends up doing a shit load of redundant work. Like if the query to load this thread were to look up all the posters here, get all their posts, get the threads from those posts and filter on the thread id.

I’m looking forward to hearing all the people that say raising taxes would lead to all the talented people leaving the country addressing this.*

Realistically I understand that they’re all talentless lying bastard failsons that just wanted to make more passive income from their family’s wealth and no journalist will ever challenge them on it.
