Vic 20 was my first. I watched my dad struggle with and eventually give up on assembly. Something-something and the microbots. I was fearful of it until I took Assembly at Uni. That 2nd/3rd year class was where the final puzzle piece of how computers work fell in place for me.

My first job was writing assembly tests for a DSP hardware design team. Fell in love. Never looked back.

Could probably replace managers with AI, but being trained on most managers would mean it would be equally bad at its job.

I think the most likely is for the artists jobs to go away as art doesn’t have to be exact, but code does.

No one was able to replicate the level of health complications from the movie. Apparently he was a raging alcoholic.

Alcohol kills. McDonalds is just sorta bad.

Finding a good client is hard. Folks recommend the Nvidia Shield Pro. Finding something that plays all the formats and can pass audio through hdmi to a AV receiver. Umcompressed HD audio, HDR/10/DolbyVision. Etc.

If I can just pop a debian machine down, that is great, but a hardware guide would be nice to see.

I get what he is saying, but I loved both ‘dig’ games. Could not stand Heist, and haven’t set aside time for build.

Good on them I guess.

Perfect!

I also used CHDK on my way old PowerShot elph. Amazed this stuff is still going.

If you code adding the current branch to your shell prompt will change your world.

Also, if you are getting good use out of find, you should learn to pipe the output to GNU parallel. Put those cores to work!

Where?

Looks like there is an LDAP auth plugin: https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin-plugin-ldapauth

If you ran such a beast.

Jellyfin has a (plugin) opds server for ebooks that use the same accounts as the rest of jellyfin. I use calibre to deal with organization/metadata.

If you have a bunch of plex users, switching to jellyfin might be a bridge too far.

Because I’m Tekken all the leftovers.

I’m not sure why you are getting downvoted. I’m optimistic for the same reasons and I think you are right about rapid growth being dangerous.

Linux was slow growth, not to mention GNU, but it is so good, and attracted the right kind of contribuitors.

Running these services has a cost and surely over the time it takes to grow, solutions will emerge. It is best to recognize those challenges and address them.

Well I hope so. Occasionally our nerd stuff leaks out into the world and does some real good. Maybe advertising is only needed to keep shareholders never-ending drive for profits. Wikipedia seems to do ok. I really do hope I’m wrong, but I think you are just being too optimistic, maybe it is because I’m old.

People donate time, and some people host servers and pay bills because they can. I don’t think the whole point of federation is amortizing the costs across instances, but it is a perk. Most people want to know what to join, which is why lemmy.world got so big, so fast. Maybe I’m wrong, but I’ll bet their donations do not match their costs.

Mastodon is totally cool, I’m on board, but normies don’t know what it is.

I’m just being realiatic here.

I’m an OSS guy, but running these services is not free. Someone is paying for bandwidth, power, hardware, etc.

The one constant in all of your failed relationships is you.

Yeah, I check in often, and the lines of communication are open. Helps to have no lying (in general), but especailly to my kids (which unfortunately needs to be said because so many people feel like it is ok).
