I… Don’t know how to feel about that. That makes sense but also feels awfully blasphemous to the origins of the internet.

Oh God I haven’t thought about Lindsay’s in a long time. I want to say your right. If I recall it was her very videos that made me aware of the trend. Lol

I should go watch some of her old videos again.

A large chunk of that is those TV shows purposefully pick women who make for good “villains”.

They do it to men as well. But throwing a woman up who is attempting to hide behind a double standard makes for “good” tv.

It’s just rage bait tv basically.

Explain to a very angry drunk person that swinging on someone is a bad idea. Get back to me when that works.

Yes no fukin duh ideally no one would swing in the first place. Unfortunately not everyone is sober and of sound and ration mind. With no mental or behavioral issues that could impede their ability to make that call before they do something stupid.

I would love this to be a fairy tale wonderland where everyone gets alone and no one has cause or reason be it rational or irrational to harm another.

But we don’t. So we can only live be the hope that those of us who are rational don’t go over board, and those who arnt don’t get fucked over by one bad decision.

Can I get the gains with a side of no pain instead?

I’m already tired boss ):

I manage it with netbird.

Just have em install netbird, if it’s on they can connect to my website. If it’s off they can’t.

It’s literally three steps for each person, there’s ways to make this easy. It just requires the host to put in the leg work

Slap a vpn on her computer or but a shitty dell from good will. Point the Roku at that and forward the traffic…?

Like this is a solvable setup and forget about it for the next 5 years. Sort of set up.

The only reason to expose it raw to the internet is because your hosting a piracy service.

You can easily keep everything inside of a wireguard VPN and expose nothing directly.

No nix is the new arch.

Lol

If you swing on someone expect for them to swing back.

You hope that they’ll be reasonable and proportion the violence in return in equal measures to what you delivered.

Sometimes you hit the guy with PTSD he flips out in absolutely rocks. Your s*** though.

This is why you don’t hit people. You don’t know what they’re going to do. Humans are animals and sometimes they have issues.

I’m more in the side of equal right equal fights. Man or woman if you assault someone expect to get hit back.

A normal dude slapping a construction worker is also likely to get laid out flat. Same logic between most men and women. Everyone is built different and if your goanna swing be prepared for the other person to not hold back.

But the rise of videos glorifying it is disgusting. It goes well beyond equality, reason or fair defense of self.

It’s just fucking glorifying violent for the sake of it most of the time. It’s awful.

And to be clear I’m not saying if someone slaps you, you break their nose or some shit. Reasonable response when possible and it almost always is.

But violence spirals fast and hard. And some people are genuinely a lot more jumpy then others. You never know what the other person’s idea of a proportional response is going to be till after you swing.

That first response is very rarely. One out of rational thought. And trying to judge that first response as if it did have rational thought in it is typically not fair.

Now if they keep swinging or something that’s clearly gone beyond that initial. Oh s*** swing response.

Context matters.

Batyou!

I can confirm I had the bright idea to automate audiobooks… Only to quickly realize I suddenly had the problem of how the hell do I organize it, find whats next or make sure I get what I want.

Ended just making a janky little site that’s basically a knock off audible suggestion engine.

Then rigged it up to the automation. Can put things on the list it searches once a day for anything on the list and downloads it if I don’t have it.

It even checks the cover art, tags, and what not to make sure it’s all accurate then slaps it in and sends me a nifty little notice when it’s done!

I’m working to do the same thing with music next.

Shotgun automation is not the way. Curated automatic is!

Tho I do double check everything before first run… Been bit before. Lol

Three models my self, qwen 27b as a dev assistant, a small model rigged up to handle voice input as an assistant that’s connected to my intercom system though out the house. Mostly to run my lights/music/audiobook play back. It’s fun having jarvis control the house after all. Then a image generator.

Llama and swap on a 7900xtx.

I haven’t gotten around to setting up phone access but wireguard for remote access form work in my laptop.

Honestly it’s all basically over priced toys. I’m baffled that people rely on this stuff. I look at it the same way people do with model airplanes or RC cars.

Over priced toys that are hell of a lot of fun. Break frequently and require more care then they are probably worth to use safely lol

I’ve been eyeing lemonade as I am on llama and swap my self. How much of a pita was the migration. I’m a lazy bastard.

Batwom

I’ve been saying this a lot recently but, AI is like a hammer.

Any idiot can swing a hammer. Not every idiot can build a house.

Ai is the same, it can be used crudely and cause problems, or with care and thought and be used to create something functional and reliable.

The entire concept of hating ai is fundamentally retarded.

Hating the corpos and people abusing it makes sense. They are the ones causing environmental damage, they are the ones stealing and causing legal issues, they are the ones lying.

Ai in and if it self. Is sitting there doing nothing. Because it’s a fucking tool. Nothing more or less.

Ai can’t hurt you. Ai can’t fucking do anything because it’s not alive. It has no will or wants or agenda.

Yet people all over the Internet and lemmy is really bad about this. Seems so far up their own asses on the hate train they forgot a tool can’t do anything without a person using it.

Ai companies are a bane and a pox on society and need to be taxed into oblivion, shut down, and the ceos likely jailed.

But the people aren’t the tool.

Judge people by their actions. Stop judging a fucking tool like it’s a person.

Nothing brings people together like hate.

Zero or one backups depending on the type of data generally.

For a system if it can’t be redeployed from a list of requirements then I Foundationally ducked up. It means either I’m depending on something fragile, unknowable or over complicated.

Raw data on the other hand goes on a raid array. If I need more redundancy then that, then a single extra off site backup on a cd or something.

A back up on the same drive as the original isn’t a backup. It’s a waste of space, and a stupid idea.

A system that requires excessive nonsense is not reliable.

If I have a on and off site back up and both fail. Then either the world is literally fucking on fire and it doesn’t matter. Or someone dropped a bomb on my storage.

Either way I have bigger problems at that point.

The problem tends to be it defaults to the old fashion way of doing thing. Since most training data is that old fashion approach

If you just remember to prompt it to keep things simple or ask it for the easier way after the first step it reduces that problem to effectively zero.

It’s no different then asking some greybeard how to do something then bitching that it’s too complicated.

They always default to “their way”
