Enterprise is really the only option companies like Anthropic and OpenAI have left. They’re drastically underpricing the service for what it costs to provide and users have shown that price hikes don’t fare well.

But enterprises? Well you just made AI a core part of your software development workflow, what are you supposed to do, start manually reviewing bitbucket merge requests? Rewrite your Jenkins pipelines? No, when the price hikes come, businesses will pay, and then downsize to reduce that opex.

With torrents, it is generally considered to be a faux pas to not upload as well as download. Most private trackers will require that you maintain some sort of positive ratio in order to be in good standing.

In order to upload, you need to expose ports from your download client out to the internet so that others can reach you.

For news groups, you only download, so although your system is still able to reach the internet, your download client does not expose any ports to the internet.

Edit: I suppose what I was trying to communicate is that with news groups, you are at less risk for being nabbed for piracy than torrents. The nature of the torrent protocol means that you are uploading (or at least making available to upload) any data that you have already downloaded. For news groups, there is no upload.

As a bonus, if you go with newsgroups, you don’t have to expose anything to the internet!

Ah, then you had one with a working transmission! Chevy evidently tried something new for their 1986-1988 V8 engines and it wasn’t good.

I replaced the transmission in my behemoth twice before giving up on it.

Maybe I ditch my plans and just establish a VLAN for IoT and guests.

That’s a good starting point. Keep IoT away from your primary vlan (for all things holy don’t use VLAN ID 1). You can limit your outbound traffic for that vlan more easily if you want to cut your smart things off from the Internet.

Guest WiFi/vlan can be just a straight shot to the internet, probably no need for visitors to get to your internal services.

Eventually, you could add a DMZ where any Internet available systems like your VPN - with specific firewall rules only permitting VPN to specific locations inside your primary vlan.

I had a 1987 Chevy Caprice Classic 5.0L V8. The thing was a tank.

Go ahead and try to pit me, I dare you.

It’s only the mini Pepsi cans iirc, so they aren’t as load bearing as I’d like. God willing, I’ll upgrade to fanta boxes one day.

A little late to the party, but here’s mine.

I don’t even get what’s linux-y about the meme.

I guess if it said systemd instead of FBI, and changed the pedophile thing to something systemd related, maybe… But that’s a completely different meme.

We are Flowers for Algernoning our technology.

If I use my phone (not android Auto), I can no longer say, “Navigate to <place>”. It flat out does not work.

Navigate to Local Bakery Xyz.

I’m sorry I can’t do that.

(It tries to open the non-existent app for the local bakery).

If I’m in the car that has android auto, it refuses to let me type while in drive (fair enough) and it recognizes the “Navigate to…” Instructions, but if I click on the Maps nav bar for voice and say my destination (it literally says, no text while driving speak your destination)… It tries to open the app.

This shit used to work, it’s getting actively dumber.

This morning I got fed up and asked,

“Can I use you to navigate somewhere?”

Sure! Where would you like to go?

“Dutch Bros”

(Opens the Dutch Bros app)

Remember when liberals were so pissed off at Mayor Adams that they threw a pipe bomb at his house? No?

Huh. Weird.

Hey everyone, because nobody told me when I bought a house, you have to do maintenance on your water heater to keep it working, including changing out a $40 part called an anodizing rod.
