nukemandan··on My matrix bot that transcribes speech in audio messages
I wanted to use this, but its two tear stale with no release, seems unsupported and likely to fall into being unuseful as other models and tools exponential get better, sadly.
nukemandan··on Nobody is grasping the end of the 0 rates regime
Is the zero reserve ratio requirement what you are referring to here? Thus allowing banks working directly with the Fed to have zero "real" dollars in existence for customer deposits?

I believe this is not true for all banks, but surely is shocking that this measure is in place, as it is unclear what holds those primary banks from lending to any extent they wish. I must be missing something.

nukemandan··on Setting up a Pi Hole made my home network faster
you can configure to use a self hosted DNS. I do this coupled with a VPN that was very easy to install and configure: https://dietpi.com . this VPN I access with ddns for free.

only fixed cost was the pi to run in (pi version 1 ram if by far enough for just pihole +unbound)

I canceled my subscription explicitly based on just how poor the app is. conversation view is just the tip of the issues here. its very slow and buggy for me. for many years basically unchanged.

nukemandan··on Joplin Gets Spellchecking (FOSS Notes App)
https://joplinapp.org/ is a favourite of mine as a simple syncing notes app. I self host this with nextcloud and the integration could not be easier. Now with this feature, my horrible spellz can get some help!
nukemandan··on When will virtual reality take off? The $100 bet
For me (and many) when Facebook doesn't have a controlling stake in hardware and requires you to register said hardware with an account in good standing in order to use that hardware.
nukemandan··on Remotely access any TCP/UDP services, bypassing NAT/firewall
NAT Slipstreaming allows an attacker to remotely access any TCP/UDP services bound to a victim machine, bypassing the victim's NAT/firewall (arbitrary firewall pinhole control), just by the victim visiting a website.
nukemandan··on Coinbase Card
Meh. The point of crypto is to bypass the present rails of commerce. Not to add yet another layer and middleman / middleware to the mix that adds fees and overhead.
nukemandan··on Twitter preconnects to the wrong domains
This, for me, was due to an expired cookie. You need to clear the cookies and local storage and log ba in to fix.

Not ideal

nukemandan··on CRDTs are the future
Gotta say, a link towards the end of this article is really really good:

https://www.inkandswitch.com/local-first.html

Referenced as a reason why CRDTs are a good way to enable this.

nukemandan··on Gmail is having an outage
May I ask - why the downvote? I know it was a blip, but still, a reminder for a moment that most of life relies on them. And some of my data is not replicated else ware... that is changing.

nukemandan··on Consumption of a dark roast coffee blend reduces DNA damage in humans
All I can say... "Is Most Published Research Wrong?" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=42QuXLucH3Q

TL;DR: Likely yes. Spinning statistics is not that hard, even with the best of intentions.

nukemandan··on K-Cup creator John Sylvan regrets inventing Keurig coffee pod system
>First it's more expensive for you. Second you have unrecyclable plastic waste. Third what could once be composted now gets thrown into anaerobic landfill.

1 - not if I take time/effort into account, or having someone prepare it for me 2 - How much less efficient is this than a coffee can/bag and filters? 3 - how much coffee is really composted anyway? how much of that is used productively?

nukemandan··on K-Cup creator John Sylvan regrets inventing Keurig coffee pod system
>There is no real argument for keurig cups other than convenience.

This is true at anything that one purchases - you outsource the effort for a fee. All single serve items are the same or worse as the keurig in terms of waste that makes things easy.

> Should people be able to choose to generate such waste for something so trivial?

Yes.

>If Keurig is not responsible for the mountains of damage done, and the consumers are not responsible, then where does the buck stop?

Customers vote with their dollars. They are not to blame for the waste - but not free of responsibility. Want to make change? Stand up for what you believe and get others to join you. Don't make anyone do anything by force (regulation).
