The free market will decide it’s actually more profitable to shut down bus service entirely and pivot to helping ICE transport bus loads of “illegal immigrants”.

Windows Latest discovered Discord and other Chromium and Electron-based applications with high RAM usage

Lol, this is news? Where have they been the last 15 years?

In other news, the sky is blue.

Call it survivorship/selection bias if you want, but basically every hack I’ve been exposed to is from centralized servers getting exploited that serve millions of people. Plex, along with any other public facing service with lots of users, receives targeted attacks constantly. All my server receives is automated bots looking for 10-year-old Wordpress .php exploits (I don’t even run php on my server).

AI has had very measureable negative effects on society in the last several years. Someone’s race doesn’t have any relation to if they’re good or bad, which is why being racist is irrational and stupid. It’s not the same argument.

In terms of art, it’s the difference between being critical of all art because AI slop is common in general (what I’ve been talking about as rational paranoia) vs only being critical of one specific style because you don’t like it and label all of it as bad AI (maybe the analogy for racism you’re talking about).

Yeah, I’m not really worried about it. I changed my password and moved on. It’s just that hackers have every reason to try and exploit Plex, while individual servers are hardly worth someone’s time and effort to go after when the payoff is maybe 1-2 usernames and emails

Ironically AI doesn’t have perfectly recall either, and that’s kind of one of the main problems with it and hallucinations. It can easily get poisoned by a handful of data points in it’s training set. But even then, it can only really blend 2 data points together, it’s got no ability to extrapolate and think outside the box.

I think you’re missing the point here a little. This bias towards being critical of where something is from is entirely justified. The reality is, there’s more gen AI content out there than ever before, and if you’re not questioning things constantly, things will slip past.

I’m viewing this kind of like a “phobia” vs a “fear”. If you’re genuinely in danger of being mislead by AI slop, then having a paranoia about it is perfectly rational.

If you have a static IP, or dynamic DNS set up, you can set up your own remote access with a reverse proxy like nginx. The nice thing is I get to use my own SSL certificate and all the actual streaming goes directly to my server, not through their proxies.

The only “hacky” part about it is that the Admin dashboard shows “Not available outside your network”, even though everything works perfectly.

The security thing is ironic because my personal Jellyfin server (nor anything else on it) has been hacked, but Plex itself has had their database leaked recently. It’s actually the main reason I switched because I don’t like their auth servers being a giant common target. (Also, technically it theoretically means Plex employees can just let themselves in to people’s private servers)

They just want Sam Altman to run a filesystem integrity check, what’s so hard to understand? /s

Those specs sound like HDMI 2 anyway. HDMI 2.1 can do 4K @ 144Hz with HDR. Or apparently even 10K @ 120Hz.

The adapters have circuity inside, they exist. It’s small enough to still just look like a cable because they fit the chip in a plug end.

Haha, I didn’t even realize but the resolution is actually identical. My first laptop was a min-spec Macbook gen 1 (first Intel CPU model). It’s the same 1280x800. The modern LCD (or OLED) on a Steam Deck looks way better obviously, and they’re different DPI, but the performance hit is identical.

If I could not post on LinkedIn more strongly I would. Maybe I should start hacking into accounts to delete their posts

That’s what I was saying with the .ttf file being copyright. It’s entirely possible to generate a new “program” that produces the same shapes while being a brand new uncopyrighted program. There’s an infinite number of ways to describe how to draw a shape, only the one in the original file is copyright.

What is this even licensing? You can’t copyright a typeface in Japan or the US: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intellectual_property_protection_of_typefaces#Japan

Technically the .ttf file could be copyright as a specific means to reproduce the typeface, but someone could just run it through something to copy the shapes and then there’s nothing to be licensed.

Considering the garage points that way, that might be the front? There’s a problem with basically every part of it. The scale is completely off, since the common room looks more like a town hall.

This is just nuts to me… My first laptop came with 512MB of RAM and only supported up to 2GB. They were still selling Macbook Pros with only 8GB of memory a year or two ago.

12GB SHOULD be enough to do everything, especially if it’s running a linux OS. But I guess we can’t have nice things because of memory hogs like Chrome.

Bring back Optane! I’m still using a couple PCIe cards in raid as my boot drive on my home server. The RAM versions of Optane were quite interesting too.

Jellyfin is fully open source, and GPL licensed. If the current maintainers start making it worse, the community can just fork it and keep going. They also have no control over what you do with it, unlike Plex which has centralized auth servers they could ban you from.
