Now if Eelco Doolstra wasn’t fucking around, we could have had a super LTS NixOS - but NOOOO.

My exact thoughts lol

Not really, no

DNS over TLS and similar are only encrypted to the first (local) DNS provider, and of course that provider knows the query as well.

It protects against 3rd-party eavesdroppers between you and your primary DNS provider, but does nothing for privacy beyond that.

Also getting rid of my T1 Diabetes and re-doing my transition, but yeah! Hedonism as well!

They blamed it on the communist party, yes. There were 8 parties represented in the Reichstag at the time though.

Spend the rest of my life on a Culture orbital or GSV? FUCK YEAH

If you feel like everybody else is crazy… I got news for you Buddy!

Yep, this is the answer. Set it, forget it, accidentally have your hard drive destroyed irrecoverably, and re-set everything up to the exact working state you were used to in under 15min.

It’s a fair bit of initial setup and learning, but afterwards, the word “stable” takes on a new meaning.

I have one big frustration with that: Your voice input has to be understood PERFECTLY by TTS.

If you have a “To Do” list, and speak “Add cooking to my To Do list”, it will do it! But if the TTS system understood:

• Todo
• To-do
• to do
• ToDo
• To-Do
• …

The system will say it couldn’t find that list. Same for the names of your lights, asking for the time,… and you have very little control over this.

HA Voice Assistant either needs to find a PERFECT match, or you need to be running a full-blown LLM as the backend, which honestly works even worse in many ways.

They recently added the option to use LLM as fallback only, but for most people’s hardware, that means that a big chunk of requests take a suuuuuuuper long time to get a response.

I do not understand why there’s no option to just use the most similar command upon an imperfect matching, through something like the Levenshtein Distance.

Hard to put my lips finger on the reason, though

Take a look at Kavita for selfhosting bools!

Kagi lenses “focus” the search. So normal web search definitely can contain fediverse results, but with the lens switched on, you ONLY get fediverse results.

Damn you sound envious

I’m sorry, but have you never had actual Cheddar?

Lol

If an employer wants to see your IQ, you probably do not want to work there regardless.

Verified by whom?

Is it? If it wasn’t printed on the bottom, would you really be able to guess Ctrl+X, Y, Enter any easier than colon, q, Enter?

No

Nano is easier to get into, but far more limited.
