Want things to work really well and last that way? Get an HP EliteBook (not the latest model) and enjoy.

TCB13 , 6 months ago to selfhosted in Have you tried LocalGPT PrivateGPT or other similar alternatives to ChatGPT?

Yes, mostly gpt4all.io only to find out that even the “uncensored” models are bullshit and won’t even provide you with a Windows XP Pro key. That’s kind of my benchmark for models nowadays. :P

TCB13 , 6 months ago to datahoarder in Whatever happened to DNA-based storage research?

DNA also sounds interesting, though it doesnt seem like a good way of preserving data long term. DNA is very fragile, and seems like an odd route to take for long term archiving.

Yeah the 5D quartz disk is very cool.

Anyways if you think about storage density DNA isn’t that “odd”. With DNA you can store dozens of copies of the data and parity checks in a very small space so even if some gets corrupted you can still get it. I get that organic stuff has its limits but the density is just mind blowing.

This post is proof that Linux desktop isn’t as good, perfect and polished as everyone says it is. Stop living in the delusion.

Oh yes, I’m aware of that website, just curious about your old library. Thanks.

Cool, do you still have the files?

TCB13 , 7 months ago to linux in Ending support for Windows 10 could send 240 million computers to the landfill. Why not install Linux on them?

not really for casual browsing use cases when pretty much 99% of all the major players in the browsing industry maintain a Linux port.

Those users couldn’t care less about if Windows is supported or not. They wont send their 240 million computers to the landfill, they’ll just keep using them.

Either way, Windows 10 22H2 EOL is set to 14 Oct 2025 and Enterprise LTS to 12 Jan 2027. I’m sure Microsoft will cave around January 2026 whenever the first 0-day for Windows 10 22H2 Pro goes into the wild and extends support for the Pro version to 2027 as well for no extra cost. For them this makes way more business sense than having 240M machines infected giving a poor image of Windows.

Why not install Linux on them?

Because 1) it wont cut it and 2) when Windows 10 EOLs (and trust me MS will extend the current date) those machines will be trash either way.

Yes but NC sucks.

But it may never see much progress on the WebUI for instance while Canonical has paying customers pushing and asking for it. They may appear inactive and it seems there aren’t many people working on the project but who knows? Maybe they’re setting up their own image server, repacking images etc.

Again, I’m all in favor of this change and I’ve a couple of systems running on both and will obviously migrate everything to Incus but I can’t ignore the fact that enterprise money pushes Canonical todevelop things.

TCB13 , 7 months ago to piracy in [Discussion] Have you ever pirated something because you forgot you own it?

Ahaha you jumped directly into Rockstar, in my case one game was EA and the other Microsoft / Xbox studios wtc.

TCB13 , 7 months ago to piracy in [Discussion] Have you ever pirated something because you forgot you own it?

Who doesn’t have issues with Steam. In my case I have two older games who’s Steam versions plain suck, pirated versions however, just flawless.

TCB13 , 7 months ago to piracy in [Discussion] Have you ever pirated something because you forgot you own it?

Because I forgot I own it… no. But because I was too lazy go get the physical media and insert into my desktop player, oh yes. To be fair it downloaded probably faster than the time I would’ve spent looking for it.

TCB13 , 7 months ago to linux in LXD now re-licensed and under a CLA

I just see a problem here:

I perfectly understand, approve and back this move, however I’ve a question about the current state of things and specifically Debian 12 users. Debian includes LXD LTS 5.0.2 on their repositories and that version will be still be around after 2024/05 and trying to use the image server. Debian won’t likely change stable to include Incus until 2025, what’s the suggested path here?
