  • PR nightmares will keep significant exploit fixes coming. Microsoft isn't that stupid.

  • Cities for example have their own microclimate partially because of the change in albedo.

    You're literally talking about something that is well known well documented and well understood and has been for decades.

    If you change the albedo of a surface that surface changes it's absorption of solar radiation. That surface will be warmer or cooler in the Sun. As a fundamental concept (ignoring more exotic materials and concepts). This means that that surface contributes or detracts from the climate in various ways.

    I don't know what's so difficult about this :/

    If you cover the entire country of Australia with black tiles do you really expect that there would be absolutely no change or difference than if you cover the entire country of Australia with white tiles?

  • They are 55th on the list for obesity rates.

    It's a worldwide epidemic unfortunately.

    For reference:

    • U.S. is 10th with 41%
    • Australia is 36th with 32%
  • I live in a country with a propensity for dark cement tiles, i really doubt panels are causing an uptick in heat

    Of course they are (having an effect) why wouldn't they?

    Any change in albedo modifies how much radiation is absorbed and emitted and the wavelengths it's emitted at.

    Sure one tile doesn't do much but it does do something by a measurable degree. Even if tiny, it's still quantifiable.

  • Yep, and even worse. Lemmy has absolutely NO controls for quality and minimal moderation tools or capabilities. It's in a much worse position than Reddit.

    If it's not already happening (And I think it is), it will.

  • They have the concept of a antitrust breakup.

  • And like all android updates, it's guaranteed to be worse than it was.

    Everything's getting shittier.

  • "I refuse to accept progress if it's not perfect progress"

    Is what you're effectively stating here.

    Cmon, really? I have this argument with my toddler when he asks for something like a rip off a loaf of bread. He wants the whole loaf, he can't have the whole load, so he gets a choice: The piece you can have, or nothing.

    So. Would you rather have this progress, or nothing? That's your choice, and right now it sounds a whole lot like you would rather have no progress?

  • I didn't really mention immich directly here.

    This is a problem which is endemic to casual software development like many FOSS projects. It's a reality of how free software tends to be built in general vs commercial software.

  • The issue here is that these are solvable problems, release compat isn't a new problem. It's just a problem that takes dedicated effort to solve for, just like any other feature.

    This is something FOSS apps tend to lack simply due to the nature of how contributions tend to work for free software. Which is an unfortunate reality, but a reality none the less.

  • You would, but if there's no reason for them to spend the money on it why?

    This is what regulation is for, and it needs to have teeth.

  • People really underestimate the value of stability and predictability.

    There are some amazing FOSS projects out there ran by folks who don't give a crap about stability or the art of user experience. It holds them back, and unfortunately helps drive a fragmented ecosystem where we get 2,3,5 major projects all trying to do the same thing.

  • Just because you don't want it doesn't mean others don't.

    And just because you don't know much about the actual tech product itself doesn't mean that it's as narrow as you consider it to be.

    There is a ton of vapid hype that everyone including myself is getting sick and tired of. I'm more than happy to recognize that. However, there are still real world problems and continued advancements being made daily.

    It's not all about LLMs either, there are many other types of science being done to develop improve and augment various other flavors of artificial intelligence. This has been a pretty constant trend for at least the last 10 years, we've just had a recent explosion in language capabilities with the introduction of generative AI. Thus fueling the hype.

    That's a really weird stance that I keep seeing on here which is to be proud of being ignorant. Being proud of hating something without actually understanding what it is. Being proud of not knowing how something works so that you can be more contrare.

  • Have you ever used something they made? Did it meet your standard of being “good work”?

    I mean you're ignorance of the products that they build or work on doesn't precipitate their badness. Let's start with the entire developer ecosystem that they have their hands deep in, it's a pretty damn good ecosystem.

    You probably need to check your bias because it's leaking, negatively affecting your decision making.

    Any company of this size is going to have shit products great products and literally thousands and tens of thousands of projects in between. You seem to be familiar with one product line, of hundreds or even thousands.

  • Nfts were a scam from the start something that has no actual purpose utility or value being given value through hype.

    Generative AI is very different. In my honest opinion you have to have your head in the sand if you don't believe that AI is only going to incrementally improve and expand in capabilities. Just like it has year over year for the last 5 to 10 years. And just like for the last decade it continues to solve more and more real-world problems in increasingly effective manners.

    It isn't just constrained to llms either.

  • Because the majority of my traffic and services are internal with internal DNS? And I want valid HTTPS certs for them, without exposing my IP in the DNS for those A records.

    If I don't care about leaking my IP in my a records then this is pretty easy. However I don't want to do this for various reasons. One of those being that I engage in security related activities and have no desire to put myself at risk by leaking.

    Even services that I exposed to the internet I still don't want to have my local network traffic go to the internet and back when there is no need for that. SSL termination at my own internal proxy solves that problem.

    I now have this working by using the cloudflare DNS ACME challenge. Those services which I exposed to the internet cloudflare is providing https termination for, cloudflare is then communicating with my proxy which also provides https termination. My internal communication with those services is terminated at my proxy.

  • I stated in the OP that cloudflair HTTPS is off :/

    I'm not using cloudflare for the certificate. I also can't use the cloud for certificate anyways for internal services through a loopback.

    Similarly you can have SSL termination at multiple layers. That's works I have services that proxy through multiple SSL terminations. The issue that I'm having is that the ACME challenge seems to be having issues, these issues are documented and explained in various GitHub threads, however the set of solutions are seemingly different and convoluted for different environments.

    This is why I'm asking this question here after having done a reasonable amount of research and trial and error.
