Idk but your little asspats are quite enjoyable if i’m being honest

Sorry, I must have mistook the multiple posts about this as an invitation for engagement

Goodness gracious, we are having quite the day with this.

Good job i guess?

Yea, your opinion of tankies has come across just fine, it’s just curious to me that sentiment is so frequently communicated with conservative cultural references

This is the second time this week someone has inadvertentlu appropriated a bit on conservative culture in an effort to lionoze ‘tankies’

Huh, it works great on my android os Nvidia shield

As a rule I don’t announce my trackers publicly so they can continue existing as my trackers, but the one I use mostly is small-rodent themed.

I’ll DM you

I get my linux distros via torrent networks, mostly

As someone who likes to have a fallback way of purchasing digital content that I can remove DRM from, this annoys me.

I can still purchase mp3 and flac files from various online retailers, and I can rip bluray for my movies and tv shows, but now I need a new place to purchase ebooks that are downloadable. Anyone have any recommendations? The first few independent retailers i’ve found seem to require their own apps.

It’s been a while since I’ve heard about libgen and aa - and actually i’m not sure how they operate with direct downloads of copyrighted material? I find my ebooks through more conventional p2p means, but i’ve always just assumed that was necessary to avoid sudden takedowns

Lmao, yea I think they’re kind of playing a game with language here.

After doing some reading of various explanations, what they mean when they say they aren’t using electrons for computation is basically that the ‘thing’ they’re measuring that dictates the ‘state’ of the transistor is a quasi-particle… but that particle is only observed through the altered behavior of electrons (i guess in the case of the majorana particle, it appears as two electrons gathered together in synchrony?)

So the chip is still using electrons in its computation in the same say as a traditional transistor - you are still sending electrons into a circuit, and the ‘state’ of the bit is determined by the output signal. It’s just that, in this case, they’re looking for specific behavior of the electrons that indicate the presence and state of this ‘qbit’

That is just my layman’s understanding of it

Microsoft isn’t using electrons for the compute in this new chip; it’s using the Majorana particle that theoretical physicist Ettore Majorana described in 1937.

Ok now i’m gonna need an explain-like-i’m-not-a-quantum-scientist on what a ‘topological transistor’ is, and what it uses instead of electrons for its compute (and, like, what is the significance?)

I honestly think social media and internet subculture would be fine if it weren’t soured by moneyed interests

If work wasn’t so alienating and all-encompassing and we weren’t so stressed and insecure in our material conditions, then we wouldnt run to social media as an escape. If wasn’t also so rife with consumerist culture and advertisements it wouldnt be so corrosive. Maybe then we could use it to create communities that mirror and bridge into irl spaces and create meaningful relationships.

Instead, the entire network has been constructed around a capitalist organization and it only serves to make us more miserable.

corporate capitalism

That’s just capitalism, babe

In another universe, Meta is being sued for having leeched without seeding

I thought about it, but I have a couple other services that could benefit from getting dedicated gpu anyway. Might as well just save for a proper PCIE card.

cool, i might try it

I wanted to get a dedicated card for video transcription anyway, but it’s good to know I don’t necessarily need it.

I’m curious what you’re doing with frigate/ how you’re doing it without a graphics card?

I’ve been using it for object detection, but i had to install it on my workhorse because my server doesn’t have a graphics card. I suppose it doesn’t need one if you’re not doing ml processing, but I’m still curious

Tldr - selfhosting is useful when:

• you need a lot of storage

• you need a lot of processing

• you are collaborating with multiple people/family members

• you are sharing media with other people outside your network

• you are sharing media across devices

• you want a standalone backup independent of your mobile device without doing so manually

• you want more advanced AI features that are not feasible to do on device (such as image detection or live security camera object detection)

• you want your home IOT devices to work locally without a cloud connection

• you have old hardware collecting dust and want to put it to use

• you like to make things

Seems like you might have understood the purpose of those apps, you just didn’t personally have those needs yourself, and that’s fine
