  • Machine learning is a subset of the AI branch of computer science. I agree that the pop culture definition of AI is different than the computer science one, but the computer science one is still valid.

  • Interstellar is what I'm using. Generally usuable, but certainly doesn't understand the things that make PieFed special. With so many of the major Lemmy instances spooling up secondary piefed instances, it means it is probably only a matter of time before this issue is resolved.

  • It's pretty critical to topic feeds. The app I'm using doesn't understand the link consolidation thing that Piefed offers, so I'll see 5 of the same post all together in it. Really I just need to start using a PWA instead of the app until Piefed has better app support.

  • A neat feature in the new Death Stranding game is a "Pretend I Won" button on the death screen for bosses. It's nice when games recognize that skill checks can be a problem, and what makes some games fun for some users isn't being challenged.

    It does, however, have a ton of fluff and filler.

  • There's nothing saying you can't have ports forwarded for the NAS, and have a VPN for everything else. Censorship may be a problem, but those more often block VPN services like NordVPN, not protocols. So running your own is less likely to be stopped. That said, of course comply with local laws, I don't know where you live or what's legal there.

    If you really want multiple things exposed at the same time, you have two options(which can be used in combination if needed/wanted):

    1. A reverse proxy. I use caddy. I give it a config file that says what address and port binds to what hostname, and I forward port 443/80 to it. That works great for web content.
    2. Use custom ports for everything. I saw someone else walking you through that. It works, but is a little harder to remember, so good notes will be important.

    I still recommend against forwarding a lot of ports as a beginner. It's very common for software and web apps to have security vulnerabilities, and unless you are really on top of it, you could get hit. Not only does that put all your internal devices at risk, not just the one that was original breached, it also will likely become part of a botnet, so your local devices will be used to attack other people. I'd recommend getting confident with your ability to maintain your services and hardening your environment first.

  • I'll be honest, if you aren't planning on sharing with others, I'd recommend switching to something like wireguard to connect back into your house instead of exposing everything publicly. Some firewalls have wireguard built in, so you can setup the VPN easily. But then all you have to do is keep your VPN endpoint safe to keep your internal network protected from the Internet, instead of having to worry about the security of everything you expose.

  • The synology NAS can act as a reverse proxy for stuff inside your network. I don't have mine in front of me, so you will have to google the steps, but basically you point the synology to an internal resource and tell it what external subdomain it should respond to.

  • There are two major advantages to what Nintendo did. The plastic top significantly increases shatter resistance. Look at Jerryrig Everything's review to see, it's almost impossible to break the screen now via blunt force, which is a big problem for people with kids. Surface scratches are far better than a shattered screen.

    The second advantage is that you can put a glass screen protector on it and get the best of both worlds. A replaceable glass surface that is nice and hard. What I think would have made it better is if the console came with a pre-installed glass protector that was replaceable.

  • The emoji thing is built into the keyboard, but it doesn't do like on-device generation or anything. They just have a list of pre-made(maybe AI generated) combos. I'm guessing they are AI generating them, then having humans approve it, before including it in the keyboard emoji list. It's kinda neat, in that it expands the options, but really not much. Overall the OS really feels the same. I haven't looked forward to an Android update in many years.

    Also, as someone who doesn't use Google's launcher or keyboard, yeah, I get almost none of these features.

  • Just a thought: Try making the first layer of letters empty so the letter fill is actually a layer 2 bridge.

    A trick I have done is printing the first layer solid in a transparent filament, then layer 2 as 2 color.

  • I use a KillaWatt device. It is a simple device you plug into the outlet and then plug the device you want to measure into it. I've had mine for a long time so I have no idea what a new one would cost, but I'm guessing sub $30.

  • This is them, to the best of their ability, complying with UK law. If more people tried to comply, perhaps the UK government would realize how foolish their Online Safety Act is and do something about it.
