I wonder what the envisioned use-case for this would be. Probably not for everyday users, but perhaps industrial technicians at a remote worksite? Something like driving out to a site and then flying to the top of a mountain to inspect radio antennas or wind turbines?

I just wonder if it would ever make sense, considering that most industrial applications would probably still require a licensed pilot to fly the quadcopter part.

“Mr. O’Brien, beam it into the fires! Destroy it!”

“No”

I think this is probably more a copy of various East Asian social media services than anything Reddit-like. Pretty sure TikTok and a bunch of Chinese video streaming services already do this. I think the whole Money -> Gifts -> Rubies -> Money chain is intended to dance around money laundering legislation. The same way that Pachinko machines aren’t technically considered gambling in Japan.

Also, what is “Harry” short for?

Harold?

The problem isn’t just that people are making AI slop: It’s also a problem that Zuck has seen the engagement that this trash generates and realized that it’s good for Meta’s metrics. They’re never going to do anything to stop it if the alternative is that investors might realize that Facebook is a rotten log.

If you’re doing activities outdoors: Always bring an extra bottle of water. That is to say, bring a bottle to drink, and then another for when you get thirstier than expected. This season is relatively cool, but you really don’t want to be caught unprepared. Also: Arizona has a law requiring businesses to serve water for free if you ask. Don’t let anyone bullshit you and ask for money.

Keep an eye on the weather reports, and do not hike down washes, ravines, or narrow canyons if there’s a rain storm anywhere nearby. Heavy rainfall several miles away can turn a sunny, dry ravine into a raging torrent that can kill. If you see a road that’s currently flowing with water, don’t try to cross it, even in a big car. You don’t know how deep it really is, and even just a few cms of fast water is enough to sweep a person off their feet and drown them. It doesn’t take much more to get a car stuck.

If you’re going to Northern Arizona, bring warm clothes. People can be caught unprepared when they leave Phoenix for a day trip and it’s 60⁰F, but when they get to Flagstaff 2h later it’s snowing.

If you see a Jumping Cholla:

Don’t get too close. Their spines are longer than they look because they get so thin as to be nearly invisible.

Look up the GPU on these charts to find out what codecs it will support: https://developer.nvidia.com/video-encode-and-decode-gpu-support-matrix-new

NVENC support will tell you what codecs your GPU can generate for client devices, and NVDEC support determines the codecs your GPU can read.

Then compare it with the list of codecs that your Intel can handle natively.

If that’s elephant garlic, then it’s the wrong amount. That shit is 3x the size with 1/10 the flavor. Fuck that, I’ll peel a whole head of normal garlic myself.

If you want to move your containers to a different location, look into configuring docker’s data-root: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/24309526/how-to-change-the-docker-image-installation-directory

You copy /var/lib/docker to a new location and update /etc/docker/daemon.json

I will say: Moving data-root to an NFS mount isn’t going to work well. I’ve tried it, and docker containers rely on filesystem features to run their overlays. On an NFS, this feature isn’t present, so your services will duplicate the container’s entire filesystem. This will tank your performance and is basically unusable for anything but trivial examples. Docker data-root basically needs to be a “physical” disk.

I’ve had no issues using NFS shares mounted as docker volumes. It’s just the data-root where it’ll fail.

If you’re doing it from scratch, I’d recommend starting with a filesystem that has parity checks and filesystem scrubs built in: eg BTRFS or ZFS.

The benefit of something like BRTFS is that you can always add disks down the line and turn it into a RAID cluster with a couple commands.

Did you replace your SATA cable when you installed the new SSD? Maybe the failure is there.

It’s similar only in that it’s about a “Great man” remaking a society in collapse.

Really none of the themes are there. Nor is there any journey of discovery to understand who Caesar is, like you get in Atlas Shrugged where other characters learn who John Galt is.

Galt is “Self interest and belief in my vision will make society better”. Caesar is “McGuffin building materials and belief in my vision will make society better”. For all its flaws, one is at least a political statement, while the other is milquetoast hopium.

This movie is so hard to talk about, because the question is: “What is it even about?”

I like movies with abstract themes and strange storytelling, but this was just incomprehensible. Its plot revolves around the machinations of rich men to control the future of their city “New Rome”, but the plot is kinda meaningless. There’s never any real threat to Caesar’s goal. Just plot events that could be obstacles but then are immediately resolved/neutered. Ok, fine! Surely then it’s an art-house piece with a deep message? The plot points must be there for the sake of a larger theme. I was waiting for everything to add up in the finale, but it just ends up with Caesar delivering a speech filled with platitudes so bland that I thought it was a joke. Then the credits rolled and the 2 of the other 5 people in the theater with me started laughing.

Yep, the problem was that docker started before the NFS mount. Adding the dependency to my systemd docker unit did the trick!

isn’t it an annoyance having to connect to your home network all the time?

It’s less annoying than the gnawing fear that my network might be an easy target for attackers.

Maybe just say “Hey, X isn’t running this game. I am”. If you’re open to their participation, you could add “But if you’d like to join us, would you mind introducing yourself?”. If you don’t want them to join, you could say “Sorry, but I already have enough players for this campaign”

Maybe not for the plot (since it’s never referenced or brought up ever again in the film) but I think it does work thematically:

This would be the one real miraculous event in Brian’s life. If anything, you would expect that a man who fell from a tower, got picked up by a flaming ball, and returned safely to the ground would be hailed as a holy person by all witnesses.

Instead, nobody gives a fuck and in the next couple of scenes Brian becomes a holy figure through entirely unrelated and mundane means.

Especially gardening tools.

Why does every fucking house in our neighborhood need its own lawnmower, weedwacker, and hedge trimmer? You only need it for an hour or two every month.

Maybe they’re not mammal nipples, but happen to look like it.
