If you

• need discoverability, or
• don’t need anything composable

then sure GUIs are great.

That’s actually a great question, safer to ask your LLM directly! So helpful. /s

Eh… don’t want to be mean but that’s what’s called an “IP address” for Internet Protocol Address… but this one is for your LAN, aka Local Area Network.

So that won’t work, people outside your LAN can’t reach it. What you need instead is a domain. What most people don’t know though is that there is a special domain name anybody can use for free! Check this out, assuming your LLM did the right setup do all that step, making website, starting Web server then try :

https://localhost/ and voila, free domain from your newly generated websites!

OK you can hate HOMEwork and instead do everything at school or work, namely study there, but what genuinely matters for studying is that you DO do the work. You have to do the exercises, over and over again, more and more challenging, otherwise nothing gets through. You only get the “feeling” of understanding without getting the practice.

Learning without practice is like being a theoretical athlete. Hate homework all you want but learn to love studying by doing.

And rightfully so. They might not know much about Linux itself BUT they did dare try and for that they deserve recognition.

Fucking manipulate idiot.

Back to LFS.

I feel seen.

Thanks for the clarification but is it for non-local DMs only or even local DMs and if so why?

Admins of most services where data aren’t encrypted can read data that is not public so I’d assume that by default.

Now my question specifically is about “Joe public”.

The lesson here is that your assumption about how the system works is wrong.

That means can mean 1 important thing :

• it was not explained clearly enough for you during your onboarding.

Consequently I suggest you recall when you started using Lemmy, how you heard about it, how you then understood how it work and thus potentially update the documentation (or whatever you relied on then) accordingly so that others don’t make the same mistake.

everything you do on here is fully public.

Even DMs?

you would be surprised how much work a CPU under 100mhz can do when there isn’t an operating system/browser in the way

Latest cool thing I saw : Doom on my earbuds https://doombuds.com/ which IMHO demonstrate greatly how much more powerful so many tiny things around us really are.

Sorry buddy but you are not “smart enough” to use that super powerful tool that supposedly can do everything extremely convenient for you! /s

Right, except that unlike Explorer or IE after that, it siphons everything it can to send it back to Redmond so even if one does not use it, it is STILL a problem.

“bend the productivity curve” is such a beautiful way to say that they are running out of ideas on how to sell that damn thing.

It basically went from :

• it’s going to change EVERYTHING! Humanity as we know it is a thing of the past!

… to “bend the productivity curve”. It’s not how it “radically increase productivity” no it’s a lot more subtle than that, to the point that it can actually bend that curve down. What a shit show.

Right, sorry maybe I got a bit excited by my point. It wasn’t about this HDD example in particular, it was about the broader consumer hardware trend.

Another interesting metric is piracy trends, checking a popular show, e.g Fallout and its latest episode namely S02E05 :

• 1080p ~15k seeds
• 720p ~3k seeds
• 480p ~0.2 seeds

… and 2160p gets 50 seeds!

Of course that’s just 1 datapoint and it’d have to be replicated (maybe it was released after the other versions, maybe it’s a show people do NOT want in high res, etc) but it’s quite a big gap.

I’m not arguing about prices. I wish prices would keep on going down but that’s just my preference as a consumer. It has nothing to do with my argument though.

I’d be curious to know if game size is increasing over time. My intuition is that we also peaked at 200GB installs. There are bigger games but on average I’m not sure we installation size keeps on growing.
