My take on AI is obvious, but I have not seen it anywhere.
First of all, the take that LLM are just Parrots without being able to think for themself is dumb. They do in a limited way! And they are an impressive step compared to what we had before them....
Least political linux distribution?

What's the easiest/best way to make my own blurays?
Obviously I won’t share where I’ve gotten my files over the years for media but as a physical collector as well, the prices for some bluray collections of things is outrageous and would like to make my own that look somewhat professional. I have a bluray burner and blank bluray discs.

How do you get rid of "wet dog" smell in a dishwasher?
This is a thing with every dishwasher I’ve had, some models seem better than other. You wash the dishes and when they dry, they have a musty odor I can only describe as “wet dog”. Other people often don’t seem to notice this, so maybe I am just sensitive to it. Though if I point it out, then they smell it....
With the ubiquity of inflation and shrinkflation, why aren't there more boycotts? When will people say enough is enough?
What was the Fosbury flop of music?
When athletic height jumping was considered done and perfected, there was the Fosbury flop which opened new possibilities. Do you think there was such a moment in the music history? When someone showed how things can be done and from there everyone is using his/her technique?
Lemmy instance with MariaDB
Hey there, I thought about starting my own Lemmy instance, yet I’d really like to use my already running MariaDB server for the database. I haven’t found anything in the docs (might be me though). Is that possible or will I have to set up Postgresql?

I feel like I'm taking crazy pills
I installed a few different distros, landed on Cinnamon Mint. I’m not a tech dummy, but I feel I’m in over my head....
Stop being elitist, spread Linux!
Linux needs to grow. Stop telling people it’s ‘tech-y’ or acting like you’re more advanced for using it, you are scaring away people. Linux Mint can be used by a senile person perfectly....
[SOLVED-sort of] GPU only works in x4 slot on HP ED 800 G3 SFF
spoilerI very limited as to what computer hardware I have access to in where I live (not the USA), but I managed to get my hands on a used HP Elitedesk 800 G3 SFF and waited months for an AMD FX 6400 Low Profile to arrive. Now I am having trouble with this card. I know the reviews state that the card can’t take advantage of my...
AI call agents on phones.
Seriously, I’d rather either sit on hold and press buttons instead of trying to explain to an AI several times that I want it to connect me to a real person. I also have a “non standard” accent as well, so the thing probably cannot even understand me.
What is something that gets a lot of hate for absolutely no reason?
Controller recommendedation?
Looking to buy a new controller, currently have Xbox One but the thing is I don’t really like the sticks on these controllers, the way they push in and out means they don’t glide smoothly, I’ve used the Elite controllers and they don’t have this issue but $200+ is a little steep, so does anyone make a good controller...

Being stuck in a pod by yourself makes it kinda difficult to get intimate with someone in the real world.

Migrating away from Gandi, 9 months later
I’m posting this in selfhosted because Gandi increasing prices actually helped me a lot with being more serious about selfhosting, made me look into things like DNS and reverse proxies and VPN and docker and also ended up saving me money by re-evaluating my service needs....
