I use my phone as display to play videos of playera playing slow chess games that help me go to sleep, and not all phone screens can be set low without hackery (like using player that software video dimming filter) so I personally love this change!

kolorafa ,

don’t run any commands that you don’t understand. Ask it to break down any commands it tells you to run if you don’t understand them.

You need to pay extra attention to this, as ML models will spit out commands and parameters that doesn’t exists if there was not enough examples in training dataset for that action. Especially with explain as it could just spit out totally wrong but “sounding good” explanation for parameter etc as it not always will tell the magic keywords like “typically” that indicate that it doesn’t have confidence as it’s “based on other similar command/knowledge”.

In your example it spit out:


<span style="color:#323232;"> -m: Prune empty directory chains from the file-list.
</span><span style="color:#323232;"> --prune-empty-dirs: Exclude empty directories that result from the inclusion/exclusion pattern.
</span>

which is actually exactly the same parameter with 2 different explanations, you can confirm this with man rsync


<span style="color:#323232;"> --prune-empty-dirs, -m   prune empty directory chains from file-list
</span>

So the more edge case you have the bigger chance it will spill out bad results, but those new models are shockingly good especially for very common use cases.

Example that confirms that “Chatgpt does not know truth. It does not know if the info it provides is true.” or more like “It will spell answer that match your inquiry that sound correct even if it’s totally made up.”

So once again, don’t be afraid to use it, but do your own research especially if following LLM could result in something breaking both in tech or in life.

I didn’t left it, I needed provide that “part” to it to get the correct answer.

Because like in the whole thread is mentioned over and over again, chatgpt doesn’t know the correct answer, it’s a mathematical model of “what looks ok” and “what should be the next word”, it looks ok to try to put --reset parameter to reset it, but because chatgpt can’t actually check documentation of podman stats if the param exists, it just generate it based on “common known text patterns”, and “common known text patterns” are written in a way suggesting that it is the truth.

So once again - do your own research if following the results it could cause breaking both in tech and especially in life. And that is true for both chatgpt and random pages on internet.

In this case I did exactly follow chatgpt answer without doing fact checking - I asked chatgpt, I copied the command and pasted it into terminal, because I know that if it didn’t work the worse that could happen it would fail and do nothing. But It’s bad for new people that will not know what the result could be if it’s wrong!

@z00s Don’t take me wrong. I’m not telling not to use it, on the contrary.

You should use any tool that helps you do your job/task. But you should try to understand how to use those tools wisely.

Telling someone never to use ChatGPT is like telling someone to never use excavator. That is wrong, you should use excavator but you should know what is an excavator, and what harm it could do by for example accidentally destroy a building or even hurt someone (or youself) if not use wisely.

You just posted, so first step achived.

ALVR works on Linux with Quest 2, BeatSaber works fine, dont know much about other games.

cfdisk only changes the partition table, this table like a small paper that you store at the front (or back) of drive where you put information, it’s just a list of coordinates like from this point to this point is your home, from this to this is your yard, from this to this is your neighbor. Just because you changed the values on your paper doesn’t actually make your neighbor closer or further.

System read this list to figure out where are the “borders” between different sections that you defined to load and use them logically for multiple file systems.

Connect, disagree, return?

Is the Fediverse truly decentralized? Not exactly. (blog.benjojo.co.uk)

The author examined the distribution of instances in the fediverse. Given that many instances are hidden behind CDNs like Cloudflare or Fastly, the author employed ActivityPub’s functionality to discover the actual hosting locations of servers. More than half (51%) of the fediverse is hosted within a single hosting company....

kolorafa ,

Just by looking at the biggest instances someone could think that they cover most of the users but I’m positively shocked.

Kudos for the work!

But the summary is missleading.

If it’s Germany … My best bet would be at the TV kable/streaming companies, but probably behind additional paywall.

AFAIK Germany regulations are strange, the stream copyright owner can broadcast video and later based on your IP send you a Bill to pay claiming unauthorized access.

kolorafa OP ,

I concur Buyer should not gain rights to product, so they should not be allowed to profit from it, but they should be able to preserve it, unless the license that you actually buy had a time limitation, but that should be clearly stated when you buy it that you only buy access to it to (at least) X amount of time like you have with online subscriptions.

kolorafa OP ,

That’s why I stated that it should be illegal to promise product while selling a undefined time limited license, there should be a clear minimum time stated when you “buy a subscription” for (single player?) games.

I would suggest to add those additional AP as soon as possible if going UniFi way, as adding more later might require to replace all units as we already saw multiple times with UniFi devices, as they are quick to deprecate old ones and make them not work with new ones.

I like the concept, you could also detect the compose file name automatically.

Or write down hashes for tag even if compose don’t use your variables so reading from compose, so people would not need to relay on the script but could use it as additional backup

kolorafa ,

Sounds like a permission problem, probably when you did copy the files then permission did change from like www-data into your user, simplest solution would be to change the permissions for those files (for example to 777 as a temporary solution)

kolorafa ,

Check also all parent directories, as the whole path need to have access (execute) permissions.

I would also vote for broken writer.

I had multiple issues with DVD drives that could write but then it would not work on any other DVD readers or don’t work at all even on the writer drive. And other way around. They are just to damn delicate, especially those you have in your laptops.

I would try to write the disk with slower speeds as it could improve it somehow like less vibrations or more laser burns.

But in your case l would check if that person does have a TV or even DVD player that could read from USB, or buy them some smart set top box with jellyfin/Plex/Disney+/…

Has anyone used or contributed to OpenStreetMap?

I’ve tried using it over the years but I never liked it because there was no information. So last night I looked at my local city and there is almost no information at all. I spent a few hours last night adding buildings and restaurants and removing incorrect items. It was actually kind of fun and therapeutic and I plan to do...

Asphalt can be on top of concrete.

But From my experience concreet normally has a visible splits between segments every few meters and is almost always way lighter in color.

infrastructurenews.co.za/…/Concrete-roads.jpg

I’m not a specialist but to me, it is all about road quality, asfalt when you can safely drive and it’s very smooth ride like you drive in the air, while co concrete you can drive well but there are clearly visible or audible bumps, so for me the actual material (or mix of them) doesn’t matter, if they can make classy and safe to drive road with glass or anything else should not matter.

There is Tampermonkey and Greasemonkey.

@BaconIsAVeg

Linux running X11 has 2 clipboards:

  • oldschool ( from terminal-only era ) => copy by selecting text (mostly in terminals) and paste using middle mouse click
  • more modern new style ( based on graphical interfaces ) => copy by ctrl+c (or ctrl+shift+c in terminals and such) and paste ctrl+v (ctrl+shift+v in terminals …)

Normally both those clipboards work independent as they are handled by 2 different processes, so you can for example copy one text using ctrl+c and copy another text by only selecting second text, then you can paste both, one with middle click, second with ctrl+v

More and more distro have a clipboard managers that have a feature to “sync” both clipboards, but it’s a lot of time disabled because it’s more confusing people and sometimes annoying. Why it’s confusing and disabled by default? Imagine that you selected some text, then did a ctrl+c, you move to some word document, select text, remove it, and want to Paste it. Guess what, the selecting you did to remove text did copy the selection to clipboard overriding what you did have there from ctrl+c.

Most if not all terminal emulators (konsole, gnome-terminal, xterm) support both clipboard styles, old-school select to copy, and new one but because the “ctrl+c” shortcut reserved to stop/interrupt applications they all decide to use ctrl+shift+c to do a copy. And yes, not only terminal emulators use ctrl+shift+c, I did have few encounters on some random apps, but most of the time, if ctrl+c is used for something else, ctrl+shift+c was available.

Red*it can do that too (if not doing it already) but they also have your personal details linked especially when paying for premium :)

kolorafa ,

That would allow to fake votes, as I can tweak my instance to spew any number I want.
