Works best with an air hockey table.

can't stop us from HDMI capturing

Look up HDCP.

Reddit probably beats Facebook but it's getting worse all the time. If you want to use Lemmy you might consider running your own instance. Lemmy as far as I can tell has usable photo uploading. Maybe the new thing you mentioned will be better, but idk anything about it. There is also Threads which is a Facebook thing, right?

On a stovetop you have to soak the beans overnight and then cook them for at least an hour, so energy usage might be higher, idk. OTOH the batch size compensates for a lot.

Or dry beans vs canned beans; does the cost of boiling the beans actually bring the cost up to be equivalent to canned beans?

Nowhere near, at least in a a pressure cooker. An electric pressure cooker uses 1KW when the heater is running, and you cook the beans for about 35 minutes. The heater doesn't run the whole time but even if it did, that's around 0.6 KWH at most. And you would normally do a bigger batch than you'd get in 1 can of beans. I have been wanting to measure the actual power usage sometime.

If you have the time for it I'd say run an independent site. Lemmy is ok for posting photos though.

Try the monthly Who Is Hiring thread on news.ycombinator.com, first business day of each month so you will have to wait a couple weeks for the next one. Here is the last one:

Try this too, though pickings might be slim under present circumstances: https://www.otherbranch.com/

99 Luftballons was the first one that came to mind.

I didn't understand the original post. It seemed like someone whining about a switch to AGPL. But that switch certainly sounds like a good thing to me. I didn't know the old license was Apache but it still seems like a good switch. Redis (with a misstep in between) did something similar.

This almost seems like a leopards ate my face situation. I remember Plex supplanted some other proprietary media server that went evil. I couldn't understand why people burned by the first one switched en masse to another one like it. Once wasn't enough? If you're going to switch at all, go to something that is 100% libre.

You can certainly spin up a VPS with Windows Server on it and figure outhow to do your daily tasks on it. Buyvm.net will let you run an old version at no extra charge on cheap VPS. Other hosts have newer versions that you pay a bit extra for, but it is affordable.

I never heard of ircv3 before. TIL. But, some parts of it don't seem irc-like, and sacrifice the aspects that have made me stay on irc all this time. Hmm. I'll look at it more later.

x86 hardware interfaces are traditionally pretty well documented and standardized, going back to the original IBM PC in the 1970s(?), enabling among other things an aftermarket of plug-in expansion cards and other peripherals. That standardization also makes it possible to write device drivers and keep them working.

ARM stuff on the other hand is closed and changes all the time. So this year's peripheral won't work with last year's phone. Mac stuff is also like that, maybe not quite as much most of the time.

Those bags are made for microwave popping and you pay a big premium for that, besides getting crappy popcorn. For stovetop popping, just buy loose kernels. Zillions of recipes online.

Don't buy any perishables unless you're going to use them immediately, i.e. the same day that you buy them. If you buy them, take them home and eat them. Keep lots of non-perishables on hand so you'll be able to cook something without going to the store when you want to do that.

I think in practice you start with something arbitrary and hope that training or updates converge to something reasonable. There is a school of thought that says start with uninformative priors, those that give the least information. There is a famous book by E. T. Jaynes arguing for this. Lots of people swear by it. I tried to read it once and it didn't make much sense, but maybe I should try again sometime.

Hmm it looks like ML uses the term "hyperparameter" differently from how it is used in statistics. TIL.

Get some sleep.

Maybe nextcloud? IDK I just use Borg. But Nextcloud allows that type of syncing that you describe, I think. I run a small nextcloud server for other purposes and don't use that feature.

More like 1 hour but yeah.
