  • Semi-permanently, otherwise known as permanently until shit breaks catastrophically (in the IT world at least).

    Obviously you're going to need to set up a cordon. No one gets in. Limit the food supply.

    This thing is cunning so we can assume that it knows what's going on. So actions need to be coordinated and rapid. Use satellite and IR drones to track the thing's location.

    It's likely that live bait is required, so a few death-row inmates get to draw straws. Stick them in cages around the perimeter of the thing's active hunting area.

    It's cunning, so it knows that the cages are traps. .. But I'm cunning too.

    Now that the creeper has determined that it is in an area that is monitored, and it's being hunted, it will try to escape. We let it escape. Then we move the cages a few hundred miles out.

    The creeper escapes again. A show is made, jets flying over etc. We move the cages.

    Repeated enough, the creeper ends up in Canada or Mexico, and voila! Problem solved!

    ..well.. problem moved to someone else!

  • I'm not talking about exchange to premises, this is between ISPs and whoever is routing between cities and countries. Customers get charged for maintenance between the ISP and their house, but there's the whole internet backbone that ISPs hook into that requires maintenance.

  • Refresh our memories, what powers did this one have? I remember the chick running it over with her car a bunch of times and that's about it from the movie.

  • because they’d rather have all those CDNs pay them for using their fibre than not use their fibre and make things more efficient.

    Ah. I see. That's what's going on.

  • If something doesn't work on one drive and then magically works when you install it on another drive...

    How is your drive formatted? Is it NTFS and not keeping the right Linux file permissions or something like that? It's been a decade since I had a Windows formatted drive, but I seem to remember there were issues using NTFS in Linux.

  • You 100% can move the folder. Copy it to whatever drive and symlink it in the original location.

  • I get where you're coming from, but there is significant maintenance required. Cables and equipment break or need upgrading, routes get changed, loads change over time in different areas due to population and service movement..

  • We are likely going to see more of this kind of thing.

    Services like Twitch, Netflix, etc have had a long time of using the pipes for low or no cost, and contributing nothing to the network except congestion.

    No one expects the roads to be maintained for free, and for businesses that use the roads, they gotta pay.

    EDIT: I retract my statement, barsoap gave a pretty detailed explanation of what's going on here.

  • That's actually pretty common in places like Italy. A half-pinch of salt brings out the coffee flavour.

  • Model is the right term instead of database.

    We learned something about how LLMs work with this.. its like a bunch of paintings were chopped up into pixels to use to make other paintings. No one knew it was possible to break the model and have it spit out the pixels of a single painting in order.

    I wonder if diffusion models have some other wierd querks we have yet to discover

  • Alexa for short term reminders and a calendar for long term reminders. I will forget my own funeral if I don't have it written down somewhere.

  • Fixed it, I had to delete the images
