Whatsapp is just more shitty Meta product… Can’t be trusted.

So far I’ve found it to be Pretty good… I do pay the $20/month “pro” membership but I’m pretty sure most months I cost them money. ;-)

What drew me to perplexity is that it will give you footnotes on basically every statement so you can go read the reference material it pulled from. Not foolproof, but lets you see if it’s quoting an idiot or not… ;-)

What I most use it for is debugging. You can just copy/paste trace files or logs into it and it will read the log like a book and tell you exactly what’s happening.

As much as I hate to endorse an AI (and I’m going to get hella down voted for it)…it’s one of the few actual good uses for it…

You can ask plain questions, copy\paste error codes, and it will actually walk you through fixing problems like a non-judgy person would. ;-)

Perplexity is my go-to when I’m troubleshooting something I can’t figure out.

“How do I open and edit a word document in Linux?” Is a perfectly acceptable question to ask, things like that.used it when I was building this server to work through some concepts I wasn’t familiar with.

Goodwill is your friend

Well…not yet…

Amazon makes a product that actually works…as shitty as what they do to small businesses (and their own employees), their product does what it’s advertised to do…

I don’t see Amazon trying to get me to hate people the way Meta does…

Wow, it’s like they’re trying to win a prize for the most evil corporation ever…

LOL, you sound like my son, he does that to me all the time…

You’re probably right, but I said what I said. ;-)

Nope, I would have walked out. There are precious few pictures of me in this world (and the ones that exist are mostly celluloid) and my plan is to keep it that way as much as possible…

Display glasses do that without the camera… You don’t need a camera to transcribe voice to text…

But I get it…there can be…but in the end, Rule 34 applies and all technology will be used for sex.

“A lot of men and their behaviors have ruined this product.”

Ruined? They’re using it for it’s designed purpose…

Oohh need the name of that if you’ve got it handy.

Good. Anyone caught wearing those in public should have them knocked the fuck off their faces…

Nope, if I have to upload an ID, that’s a dealbreaker.

Most people don’t. in the event of a total failure you reinstall Proxmox, you configure your networks, then you restore your backups into it.

Honestly it’s the same method I’ve used countless times on VMware / Rubrik.

I always donate. With every new release. My rule is to give an offering to the gods that make all this possible every time I do a git pull. ;-).

Especially things like mastodon and lemmy.

I’m pretty sure nobody has enough money to pay me to give up my Linux…

Starlabs makes a better one …and it doesn’t suffer from having an investor named Linus Sebastian …

Yeah, a good enclosure will have accoustically isolated drives (rubber bumpers at the drive mount points)

I run rack-mount servers, so drive noise is the least of my issues (fans are always the loudest part of any server) but I used to run in a Nanoxia DeepSilence 6 tower, and it was amazing. 1mm thick superstructure, insulation, accustically isolated drive mounts, etc. Couldn’t hear that even when the fans were running at full steam.

Oh absolutely. Like the “cologard” test… an early screening to identify a problem before it becomes a problem.
