I’d say it was weird, not shit. It was hard to find niche sites, but once you did they tended to be super deep into the hobby, sport, movies, or games.

SEO (search engine optimization) was probably the first step down this path, where people would put white text on a white background with hundreds of words that they hoped a search engine would index.

I’ve tried using an LLM for coding - specifically Copilot for vscode. About 4 out of 10 times it will accurately generate code - which means I spend more time troubleshooting, correcting, and validating what it generates instead of actually writing code.

I was just commenting on how shit the Internet has become as a direct result of LLMs. Case in point - I wanted to look at how to set up a router table so I could do some woodworking. The first result started out halfway decent, but the second section switched abruptly to something about routers having wifi and Ethernet ports - confusing network routers with the power tool. Any human/editor would catch that mistake, but here it is.

I can only see this get worse.

I just want to say, these posts are a daily bit of joy. Thanks for posting them.

I use Bitwarden coming from LastPass. It’s great for me and my fam.

Watch the video, they show the first time - a clip from way back when John Oliver was a contributor.

I’m doing that with docker compose in my homelab, it’s pretty neat!

Sure! I mostly followed this random youtuber’s video for getting Wyoming protocols offloaded (Whisper/Piper), but he didn’t get Ollama to use his GPU: https://youtu.be/XvbVePuP7NY.

For getting the Nvidia/Docker passthrough, I used this guide: https://www.bittenbypython.com/en/posts/install_ollama_openwebui_ubuntu_nvidia/.

It’s working fairly great at this point!

It is, and it’s been revived! https://github.com/maforget/ComicRackCE

I spun up a new Plex server with a decent GPU - and decided to try offloading Home Assistant’s Preview Voice Assistant TTS/STT to it. That’s all working as of yesterday, including an Ollama LLM for processing.

Last on my list is figuring out how to get Home Assistant to help me find my phone.

Someone make it show

Doge ⬇️ Trump ⬇️ Congress

I want to see trump get asked about it in the next presser.

I (unfortunately) am in the market for a new-to-me car and I’m so pissed that my only options are either 15+ year old vehicles or spyware on wheels.

I may not rip out any antennas, but I’m damn sure going to try and interfere with them somehow.

The fact that this administration is flat out refusing to comply with judicial decisions. This is literally the “you and whose army” stage of our trip down authoritarian hell where the executive dares the judicial to enforce their decisions.

I just figured out an excellent tiramisu recipe… which calls for 6 egg yolks. Looks like I’ll be saving up for a few paychecks before I can attempt it.

This is the way. Layer 3 separation for services you wish to access outside of the home network and the rest of your stuff, with a VPN endpoint exposed for remote access.

It may be overkill, but I have several VLANs for specific traffic:

• DMZ - for Wireguard (and if I ever want to stand up a Honeypot)
• Services - *arr stack, some Kubes things for remote development
• IoT - any smart things like thermostat, home assistant, etc
• Trusted - primary at home network for laptops, HTPCs, etc

There are two new additions: a ext-vpn VLAN and a egress-vpn VLAN. I spun up a VM that’s dual homed running its own Wireguard/OpenVPN client on the egress side, serving DHCP on the ext-vpn side. The latter has its own wireless ssid so that anyone who connects to it is automatically on a VPN into a non-US country.

40s reporting in. It doesn’t change, I feel like I’ve been perpetually 20-ish.

Speedy Crabman!

This is what I did. Grabbed UL certified faceplates and a bunch of keystones. Total outlay was probably $50 including drywall/Sheetrock mounting brackets.

I went all out with Cat6A. I have some 10Gbps capabilities with my home lab, and although I currently do not have any 10GbE copper capable systems, I thought I’d try to go future proof.

My only regret is that I only went with riser grade cable - plenum was way too much, even for plain Cat6.
