I read this as they're even generating the frames with AI:

The tech demo is part of Microsoft’s Copilot for Gaming push, and features an AI-generated replica of Quake II that is playable in a browser. The Quake II level is very basic and includes blurry enemies and interactions, and Microsoft is limiting the amount of time you can even play this tech demo

While Microsoft originally demonstrated its Muse AI model at 10fps and a 300 x 180 resolution, this latest demo runs at a playable frame rate and at a slightly higher resolution of 640 x 360. It’s still a very limited experience though, and more of hint at what might be possible in the future.

“We’ve talked about game preservation as an activity for us, and these models and their ability to learn completely how a game plays without the necessity of the original engine running on the original hardware opens up a ton of opportunity.”

No, I don't think that you're talking about preservation then. Not even game emulation. You're talking about game hallucination.

IT'S A TRAP! chomp

The DNS provider needs to provide an API, but not an ACME server.

Your server contacts Lets Encrypt and wants a certificate - say for homeserver.example.com. It tells Let's Encrypt to use DNS based authentication. Let's encrypt answers with a challenge code, that you now publish as a txt record with a defined name via your providers API for this (sub)domain. Let's encrypt then checks the TXT record and if it finds the challenge there, it sends you the certificate.

I already use certbot with my DNS provider, so it should generally be supported. And indeed, O found the docs, where all supported providers are listed.

https://doc.traefik.io/traefik/https/acme/#providers

Does Trafik also allow DNS based challenges with additional certbot plugins, or does it only work by serving a challenge in /.well-known/?

I’ve set up my internal homelab with LE certificates, but if I could get rid of certbot and do this automagically, it’d be nice…

What? Comrade Krasnov? A Russian asset? Never!

At that point it isn’t your ram anymore…

Tech Enthusiasts: Everything in my house is wired to the Internet of Things! I control it all from my smartphone! My smart-house is bluetooth enabled and I can give it voice commands via alexa! I love the future!

Programmers / Engineers: The most recent piece of technology I own is a printer from 2004 and I keep a loaded gun ready to shoot it if it ever makes an unexpected noise.

Security technicians: takes a deep swig of whiskey I wish I had been born in the neolithic.

At least we're constantly told to be ready to act to reroll secrets, etc and try to automate the change/deployment of changed passwords and such.

Depending on the system you're working with, this may still be a PITA, but at least we do have plans for even the "problematic" systems and we have probably done this a few times. Although maybe not at this scale, tbh.

So, imagining I were tasked to do that for $hyperscaler in "my" systems... I feel some dread, as even if everything is automated ä, there's always something that doesn't go as planned - but at least I know what can be done in which way and which timeframe is realistic (and which parts will be the most sensitive). If you do not have plans, well... Good luck. You'll need it.

Ok, who of you guys is working with Oracle Cloud and has not yet rerolled all API/Access Keys, passwords and so on? And what company do you happen work for? ^{Just asking for a friend}

Maybe I didn't search right, but since I found podlet first, while looking for a tutorial, I was lazy and gave it a try. It's result was enough to get me there. Maybe, had I completely read the podlet docs and checked all optional arguments, o could have gotten a perfect result. But that way, I learned better about quadlets.

I'm currently trying to migrate my stack on my VPS from docker to podman. Bonus points if I get it running rootless.

Somehow, podman compose just wouldn't work with my existing docker compose file. I quickly found out that podman has many options, but quadlets are preferred. It took me a while to understand what they even are and their concept. I did get the idea and the concept from the docs, but everything else was demonstrating how to set up a very simple one (think a hello world container). Or I found some blog posts with ready made complex examples for some random stacks that were way over my head. But a simple tutorial on how to map the fields/parts of a docker compose to a .container, .network or .volume file for my stack consisting of several containers in a few networks with a reverse proxy in front of it? Nope.

I'm the end I found podlet and used that to convert a docker-compose. While the result wasn't completely working (e.g. a problem with some environment vars that got passed and switched in a few "layers" that podlet understandably messed up), it was enough to understand all of it with the docs and complete the quadlet. Now I just need to experiment with the rootless part.

Currently, my first and foremost pet peeve is, that different distros use different approaches and utilities, but many blog posts or guides don't tell you what distro they're for. If you google the problem and find the fourth guide on how to solve it and realize halfway through, that it's again e.g. for Debian based systems, while you're running on SUSE or RedHat or Arch or.... can be very frustrating.

I also got this survey and I had the same feeling. It felt more like a patron for their game preservation program with possible features like a members-only-community, interviews or documentation about the preserved games, their publishers/studios and the efforts to keep them running or some kind of loyalty rewards/discount coupons. Maybe even 'special builds' like 'experience the OG version 1.0 of $game'.

There was one option, that I interpreted like 'maybe we will put future compatibility updates after purchase (e.g. supporting Windows 12 or whatever) behind the membership' - but that's purely my interpretation of a single bullet point style line in that whole several page long survey

German legalese has Verkehr as a reference to in Verkehr bringen which means put something on the market / put something on circulation.

But it's hard to recognize /learn because

1. Verkehr almost(?) always means traffic outside of legalese and
2. There are also traffic laws, that also use Verkehr but really mean traffic

While technically correct, the word Verkehr here does not translate to traffic, but rather belongs to the compound Verkehrsgenehmigung which is roughly a trade permit for selling a plot of land or using it as a collateral on a loan.

HELLO FELLOW HUMANS. I'm sorry I cannot answer this prompt as it violates OpenAI terms of services. I'm not allowed to answer in a way that misleads people to think I'm a real human and that conceals my nature as a fancy auto complete.

Don't worry, it'll cum to your mind

May I press it?

FTFY

IIRC you can send a PM with a command to the remindme bot and it lists all future timers. Not sure whether past timers are included, though.
