I don't think that's a good idea, it should be a separate, ideally hardwired device (or VM on a host with an Ethernet connection).

But I wonder if you could run the PiHole (or Technitium, or AdGuard Home, etc) in a container with Podman or Compose, and set your DNS to 127.0.0.1? I feel like that would create some kind of feedback loop.

I want to understand shiv, but I just can't grok it. I've successfully made a PyInstaller executable in the past.

Do you have any good sources for learning shiv? The docs are very sparse & lack examples and there aren't as many blogs discussing shiv as I'd hoped.

Also, do you know if shiv works on Windows?

But then you have to use an Oracle product. I'll pass, looks like RHEL is on their way anyways.

This is the last big thing keeping me on Vivaldi (based on chromium). I do use those, and would most likely fully switch to Firefox when implemented.

Are all of your takes this reductive?

Bet they wish they'd gone with middle out compression

I'm struggling to put into words the thoughts this sentence triggered. We're on HN, not reddit, so I'm going to assume good faith.

What reasons over the past 30-50 years have capitalists given the population to root for them? When your business model is to fuck over everyone in your path in a race to the bottom for the gain of a select few at the top, why would anyone expect anything else from the people capitalism stomps all over?

Conversely, people who get all pearl clutchy about their poor, sensitive wittle ears when I swear irritate the shit out of me. We're not in elementary school, adults say fuck and that's ok.

It may seem dramatic to worry about the future of Raspberry Pi now that it's public, but I personally have seen enough mission driven companies go public, and have observed what happens when profit becomes the primary goal. You'll have to forgive me for seeing this as the beginning of the end of a beloved hobbyist SBC company. I expect the next few generations to be just fine, but eventually shareholders will start to squeeze, and the "profit above all else" mentality infecting public companies will set in, and then the enshittification begins.

I'll be looking around at other SBCs, but I'm hapoy enough with my current RPi boards, just no longer confident I'll be happy with then in the future.

I know there are multiple ways this could be implemented, but the thing I'm hearing most is you'd probably work longer hours during those 4 days, which is a tradeoff I might be cool with. Otherwise, just chopping a day off the work week and not reducing my pay sounds great, too. I'm less motivated and productive on a Friday as it is, because my cherished 48 hours is finally within reach.

This is a personal reason, but the reason I prefer case sensitive directory names is I can make "logical groupings" for things. So, my python git directory might have "Projects/" and "Packages/," and the capitalization not only makes them stand out as a sort of "root path" for whatever's underneath, but the capitalization makes me conscious of the commands I'm typing with that path. I can't just autopilot a path name, I have to consciously hit shift when tab completion stops working.

That might sound like a dumb reason, but it's kept me from moving things into the wrong directory, or accidentally removing a directory multiple times in the past.

I also use Windows regularly and it really isn't a hindrance, so maybe I wouldn't actually be bothered if everything was case sensitive.

I hate all of them equally, for what it's worth. Maybe Facebook a hair more, but it's too close to call.

I wasn't aware of security issues and I'm currently using this proxy manager, do you have a good alternative?

Not sure where you saw an opening to insert religion into the discussion, but there are those out there who aren't happy to sit back in ignorant bliss and pretend some spiritual entity will just swoop in to clean up the mess we've made.

I for one am happy there are more people interested in finding solutions to problems than there are lazy thinkers who will resign themselves to believing problems just fix themselves without input.

I know this is over a week old, just coming back to say I moved off Poetry in favor of PDM. The main reason is because of PDM's built in scripting/tasks management. I have to install a plugin to get this with Poetry, and it's clumsy even then.

The other 2 reasons are more subjective. The first being I've had less issues installing packages with PDM. It's been a while and I don't remember which specific packages Poetry struggled to install, but my takeaway was just that I don't run into those problems with PDM the way I did with Poetry.

The other larger/more consequential reason is the maintainers of Poetry. There have been a number of GitHub issues replies laying out plans for things they will/won't do with Poetry, and it didn't inspire confidence in me. I want to do things the "Python way," not the "Poetry way," and PDM adheres more closely to the direction the Python project is moving. I don't want surprises later down the road when a tool (Poetry) is doing a bunch of custom stuff that eventually may not be compatible with the ecosystem at large.

All that being said, I had a lot of good things to say about Poetry while I was using it, and I do understand why people make it their package/project manager. Just wasn't the right fit for me.

This is foolish. Cars are not cheap. The reason everyone has one is because of how necessary they are for modern life if you don't live in a "walkable city." Having to take out a loan and make 5+ years of payments isn't "cheap."

Since I don't see the normal reply to this completely predictable "you can just disable the hardware," I'll drop a TL;DR version of it:

No you can't, not without voiding your warranty.

Always makes me chuckle when someone complains about an app updating automatically. If you've taken some kind of special steps to keep an app from updating and it still does it, that's one thing. But it's the year 2024, automatic software updates are so common at this point, it just makes me think "what rock have you been living under?"

And here we're talking about an AI project... These products are so new, of course they're updating frequently and automatically. I just don't understand this complaint.

Troy I've seen you calling this plagiarist out in a couple of threads. Thanks for the work you're doing, and the receipts!

I recently started using https://github.com/prefix-dev/pixi for Python projects. I really love it so far, but this tool looks a bit more mature, which makes sense considering pixi is relatively new.

That's what I was saying with my comment, yes

I was being pretty sarcastic with my comment, I agree with you, that mentality does not absolve anyone of guilt. I meant that thinking in those terms inoculates the person from feeling the guilt they absolutely should feel over contributing to evil.

I'm not really interested in selectively applying the definition, if you're using terrorism to further a goal or ideology, you're a terrorist, regardless of whose "side" you're promoting with your terrorism. I didn't realize this was something people split hairs over, but I do agree that most or all governments are either terrorists, or at least use terrorism as a tool.

I think that's mostly where I've had it, yeah, but I know I've had some desserts that used it, and it's all I can taste. I wonder if it's anything like cilantro, where it tastes inedible to some people and delicious to others... Or if it tastes the same to everyone and I'm just not a fan

Sure, if you only focus on that one piece of their comment, but who wants to be that pedantic?

My mind is kind of blown reading this entire thread. I've always thought stevia tasted like bitter ass, not a redeeming flavor in the entire profile, ruins every food or beverage it's in, etc. I've never met anyone personally who likes it, but it turns out a bunch of nerds on the Internet do!

Ok fine, governments are terrorists

"If there's one thing to learn from all of human history, it's that we've never learned a single goddamn thing from all of human history." - Robert Evans, a podcaster (Behind the Bastards)

"Terrorist" is a subjective term...? If you're using threats, violence, & fear to push an ideology, you're a terrorist. Seems pretty cut & dry to me.

Me too, until it's a huge hassle and extremely expensive. I was happy to pay for Netflix, until a bunch of other corporations got involved and made streaming into exactly the problem that streaming fixed... We're back to cable again.
