This administration is either short sighted, or it never intends to have elections that Dems can win again.

How many federal laws/executive orders from Biden and Obama were challenged in courtrooms that were predisposed to go against them? I'm fairly fucking certain one of the dozen student loan forgiveness attempts was ruled illegal for the country because of some conservative judge in Texas.

Thanks for the recommendation - I just finished it (it's a slow day). What an incredibly depressing and vivid book.

Sorry, I wasn't clear - I use PowerDNS so that I can more easily deploy services that can be resolved by my internal networks (deployed via Kubernetes or Terraform). In my case, the secondary PowerDNS server does regular zone transfers from the primary in order to ensure it has a copy of all A, PTR, CNAME, etc records.

But PowerDNS (and all DNS servers really), can either be authoritative resolvers or recursors. In my case, the PDNS servers are authoritative for my homelab zone/domain and they perform recursive lookups (with caching) for non-authoritative domains like google.com, infosec.pub, etc. By pointing my PDNS servers to PiHole for recursive lookups, I ensure that I have ad blocking while still allowing for my automation to handle the homelab records.

This is overkill.

I have a dedicated raspberry pi for pihole, then two VMs running PowerDNS in Master/Slave mode. The PDNS servers use the Pihole as their primary recursive lookup, followed by some other Internet privacy DNS server that I can't recall right now.

If I need to do maintenance on the pihole, power DNS can fall back to the internet DNS server. If I need to do updates on the PowerDNS cluster, I can do it one at a time to reduce the outage window.

EDIT: I should have phrased the first sentence: "My setup is overkill" rather than "This is overkill" - the Op is asking a very valid question and the passive phrasing of my post's first sentence could be taken multiple ways.

I put my Plex media server to work doing Ollama - it has a GPU for transcoding that's not awful for simple LLMs.

So glad Carter isn't around to see this. Fucking Habit for Humanity? The, "we won't give you a house for nothing, you need to literally build it with some help" folks?

That's why I've stopped using non-local LLMs. Ollama works just fine on my outdated GTX 2060.

Get your vpns figured out now while you can still Google for "VPNs".

Hosting on the public web isn't too crazy - start with port forwarding on standard ports (443 for sale/web) and add in a dynamic DNS address.

More than likely your residential ISP doesn't change your IP that often, but Dynamic DNS solves that problem before it hits. I use Cloudflare, but mostly because I'm lazy and haven't moved off of them after their most recent sketch behavior.

I had no idea our 40lb Boston Terrier/Beagle mix walking around was so loud for our downstairs neighbors. After they told us, we invested in some rugs to try and dampen the sound.

Of course, they would get into screaming matches at 3am with each other until the cops were called - then the cops would ring our buzzer because they refused to answer.

Fire up burpsuite and do a POST, see what happens. 🤣

Every part of the whole "51st state" plan is insane, but to admit Canada as one single unit is absolutely fucking bonkers. It's literally bigger in square miles/km than the United States. It would need to be at a minimum 10 states (one per province) but would probably benefit conservatives if they split up some of the more conservative provinces into more states.

What a grift! When does, "huh, my child seems objectively smart/stupid" typically present parents of Lemmy? I'm going to guess at least 3 years old - tack on another few months for the pregnancy. Pay this joker untold buckets of money to have assurances your kid will be smart just to find out years later that it was a scam.

I'd say it was weird, not shit. It was hard to find niche sites, but once you did they tended to be super deep into the hobby, sport, movies, or games.

SEO (search engine optimization) was probably the first step down this path, where people would put white text on a white background with hundreds of words that they hoped a search engine would index.

I've tried using an LLM for coding - specifically Copilot for vscode. About 4 out of 10 times it will accurately generate code - which means I spend more time troubleshooting, correcting, and validating what it generates instead of actually writing code.

I was just commenting on how shit the Internet has become as a direct result of LLMs. Case in point - I wanted to look at how to set up a router table so I could do some woodworking. The first result started out halfway decent, but the second section switched abruptly to something about routers having wifi and Ethernet ports - confusing network routers with the power tool. Any human/editor would catch that mistake, but here it is.

I can only see this get worse.
