Oh sorry, I meant what kind of box?

It’s a fair interpretation of the question, but I believe the original question was one more of practice than theory. In theory, it’s abnormal to snore. In practice, a good chunk of the population does snore.

It’s almost like OP had learned about AI impressions before hearing that impressions have been a thing for far longer than we’ve had AI to imitate voices. No judgement here, just fascinating.

It’s a pretty big jump to go from ChatGPT/LeChat to hosting your own LLM locally, if you want results that are anywhere close to the commercial offerings. Both of them even have a free tier that would probably still be better than anything you could run locally without significant hardware investment. It’s definitely not difficult these days, but it’s very expensive to get close results unless you’ve already got the hardware.

At least the source wasn’t a Rick roll

Convert the PWD value to use backslashes, too, for extra cursedness.

What is this magical dictionary? I’m almost afraid to ask but, won’t just about any dictionary do just fine?

If that’s your concern I personally find ZeroTier a lot simpler to set up securely. You basically can’t expose things to the public internet through it because it doesn’t even require you to forward ports or anything.

I’ve observed the same thing about YT music’s audio. It’s actually a bit frustrating because YT has the better quality, it’s louder too (Spotify app is strangely quiet in comparison), the algorithm is nicer, I actually even like the UI a little better. But the queue system sucks donkey balls, there’s no cross-system control, and no jam so I often go back to Spotify when with friends.

Woah, that means some day you may be able to run Servo inside of Servo.

As someone who used to run a Plex server and a jellyfin server for myself (not at the same time) I’d have to agree with the sentiment. If I were trying to provide it for my less techy friends/family I’d go Jellyfin again. But for just me? Video files + samba fileshare all the way. Even lets me play the videos on my phone.

Thanks for the summary, I did a bit of reading myself. It’s interesting the dynamics at play here - you’ve got a long, long term contributor in Hellwig who’s been a maintainer since before Rust even existed, then you’ve got quite a few people championing Rust being introduced into the kernel. I feel like Hellwig’s concerns must have more to do with the long term sustainability of the Rust code - like will there be enough Rust developers 10, 20, 30 years down the line. I mean, even if it stays maintained, having multiple languages in a codebase increases complexity and makes it harder to contribute. Then you have Filho resigning from the Rust for Linux project, which in itself kind of calls into question the long term sustainability of the project. It seems like Rust would have quite a few benefits for the Linux kernel, but the question remains of if it’s still gonna be any good in a few decades. This is juicy stuff!

Anyone got more context on this I can read through? I haven’t kept up with this other than Linus’s notorious attitude.

I think mint is crazy better these days compared to 10 years ago, and it probably just came down to “we want to be user friendly to those who need their hands held” crashing into “actual users who need their hand held are trying it out.” 10 years ago, I think there simply wasn’t enough interested in Linux outside of Linux circles to properly test and figure things out, not to mention the strides the software itself has made in supporting more hardware more seamlessly.

The thing about RTFM is that users don’t, and the users that stuff like Mint is geared towards is those who when asked to read a wiki page, will simply give up. Windows has a cottage industry of people who do various things to make it easier for that kind of user. For example, just installing Windows on a device for you (albeit with bloatware usually) complete with all the drivers for your hardware. For most of the hardware on a laptop (audio, internet, HIDs, USB), that’ll have you set for life without having to touch anything and for the graphics that’ll at least have you set for several years without having to touch anything. And it’s not like Linux doesn’t have this level of support, it’s just that Windows has this level of support for consumers and Linux typically has it relegated to the enterprise sphere.

That being said, it’s insane how easy it is now to just install Mint, or PopOS, or even Ubuntu and have a working system. But most users don’t even install their Windows, much less a completely foreign OS.

It’s remarkable, really.

Is it really any different than, say, a cookbook? I mean, Babish has to pay his bills and most of his content is still free videos which show you how to cook things including proportions and measurements for the ingredients.

Let the arms race begin!

There’s always the good ol’ “danna”

Serious question, is there actually a FOSS project out there at the scale of something like Firefox that survives on only donations?

But then who backs up the backups?
