diebillionaires··on Someone on Torrent Sites Kept Fucking with My Sonarr
This is what the anti-piracy companies do to try and dissuade people from torrenting. Just create a custom rule to give .exe files a -1000 weight and never worry about it again.
diebillionaires··on What I Self-Host
yeah, they make a great homelab, especially with a fast external drive or 4
diebillionaires··on What I self-host
As someone that loves docker compose and doesn't mind services with the benefits of software better than sqlite, I guess I'm the minority here. I wish more apps were based on postgres. I also have never had a problem with my publicly exposed applications. Not once in 8 years.
diebillionaires··on What I Self-Host
to each their own i guess. i love docker and exposing my services publicly. and fortunately i bought 64gb 3 years ago :)
diebillionaires··on Magic Switch: Share Apple Magic keyboard/track-pad/mouse between two Macs
i use deskflow between two mac’s and a pc, but it doesn’t support trackpads. so this is nice for those users
diebillionaires··on Linux support is coming to Snapdragon X2 series
Couldn't agree more. I would LOVE a linux based laptop with the performance of the M series.
diebillionaires··on Shopify is moving from React Native back to Swift and Kotlin
Who respects shopify's engineering practices?
diebillionaires··on Apple introduces M6 and M5 Ultra
i wish i could use their hardware, but i refuse their software
diebillionaires··on Israel creates fake think tank in likely attempt to dupe AI chatbots
whether it’s new or not doesn’t matter. it’s more propaganda and it should be exposed. really glad they wrote this article.
diebillionaires··on Our position on open-weights models
This is just another case of a business insisting their people should be in charge of the evaluation of the safety. Worked really well for Boeing right?

Also I find it incredibly difficult to hear any company in the US worry about repression of people when financial repression is happening here. I’ve been to China and seen what the services to the public are like. Meanwhile the US funds and employs AI weapons in an ongoing genocide.

diebillionaires··on Apple raises prices of MacBooks, iPads
Apple was already on the edge of "too expensive". Now it's obscene. I think this really opens the door for the new intel framework 13 pro.
diebillionaires··on ICE Appears to Be Buying Immigrants' Tax Identifiers from a Data Broker
Opt outs don't even exist at the top level, only on the people search ones utilizing the data.
diebillionaires··on ICE Appears to Be Buying Immigrants' Tax Identifiers from a Data Broker
This was covered in NOH's data broker article. But mostly Snowflake or AWS.

diebillionaires··on Age verification for social media, the beginning of the end for a free internet?
Linux + Website needs to return as the ultimate form of self publishing. Back when an internet search was the platform.
diebillionaires··on The AI Bubble – No One's Happy
my favorite part of the article tbh
diebillionaires··on At least 25 Flock cameras have been destroyed in five states since April 2025
it is a widespread concern that more haven’t been destroyed
diebillionaires··on At least 25 Flock cameras have been destroyed in five states since April 2025
this seems like an ai article
diebillionaires··on Bambu Lab is abusing the open source social contract
I bought my bambu labs ps1 about 4 years ago now. I have never connected it to the internet. I've never printed from bambu slicer. I've always exported the gcode and manually placed it into the machine. It's been a nuisance and I'd never recommend Bambu to anyone else because of this. I knew they were collecting from the beginning and I CHOOSE to do it this way, which is incredibly sad. Our data has a lot of value and I refuse to be monitored. I just wish more people would choose to push back.
diebillionaires··on Software engineering may no longer be a lifetime career
Have you seen construction workers lately? They have machines for everything. I highly doubt they even need to lift things any more.
diebillionaires··on Migrating from DigitalOcean to Hetzner
I moved away from digital ocean about 6 years ago and never looked back. I found their customer support to be rude, and their offerings to be overpriced.
diebillionaires··on Cal.com is going closed source
Lame. "We don't want AI pointed at our code so we're going closed source". That's hilarious and a cover up.
diebillionaires··on Anna's Archive loses $322M Spotify piracy case without a fight
I support AA. Lawyers can't solve this, sorry.
diebillionaires··on I run multiple $10K MRR companies on a $20/month tech stack
Agree with a lot of this except sqlite, and the fact that if I commit to building something I typically put it in the cloud with basic scaling from the start for efficiency.
diebillionaires··on ChatGPT won't let you type until Cloudflare reads your React state
Yeah, no one is responsible for what they do as long as someone else tells them to do it.
diebillionaires··on ChatGPT won't let you type until Cloudflare reads your React state
As a free tier user I only get like three queries in now without model quality reduction, so I'd say your bases are covered as far as GPU costs around misuse.
diebillionaires··on Treasure hunter freed from jail after refusing to turn over shipwreck gold
they invested 12 million and he provided 50 million no?
diebillionaires··on Your phone is an entire computer
I'm just surprised people hadn't realized earlier that these SOCs were capable of more than Apple had let on. They're incredibly capable, but profits and capitalism are the problem as always.
diebillionaires··on Glaze by Raycast
i can get an app one shotted pretty much every time i use cline too. why would i ever use a proprietary solution that’s opinionated and likely eventually costs (idk i didn't look)?

add this to the bubble theory

diebillionaires··on What functional programmers get wrong about systems
