xcrunner529··on NINA: Rebuilding the original AIM, AOL Desktop, Yahoo and ICQ platforms
I’m so bummed I didn’t think to log in before it shut down and grab my buddy list and stuff.
xcrunner529··on NINA: Rebuilding the original AIM, AOL Desktop, Yahoo and ICQ platforms
I have a lot of love and nostalgia for aim and AOL and think it would be a fun motivator to learn more programming with a project like that but not without sharing.

Yeah very annoying. They ask for donations constantly but are enjoying keeping everything for themselves.
xcrunner529··on I'm switching to Python and actually liking it
I certainly think so but wasn’t sure if it was just my unfamiliarity or lack of advanced programming knowledge but I attempted what seemed like a very simple patch to a Java project (guacamole) and it was insane how I ended up having to add the new function to like a base and abstract class and interface etc. it was crazy. All the same boilerplate too.
xcrunner529··on OpenAI delays launch of open-weight model
I like how all these comments from random people saying the same thing. Clear astroturf for an AI model no serious person cares about.
xcrunner529··on OpenAI delays launch of open-weight model
No, Elon, no one is impressed or even thinking positively about MechaHitler
xcrunner529··on OpenAI delays launch of open-weight model
Pretty hilarious considering how OpenAI got its data for training.
xcrunner529··on Using the Internet without IPv4 connectivity
Astound still doesn’t either and they are large.
xcrunner529··on Microsoft Dependency Has Risks
Sure but Apple had that first. With MDM.

The new way is local account with synced password and Kerberos.

Why not Okta? I know a company that uses it and no AD. (But they are mostly Mac)

Sure. I am just using it for my media server which I could “re-acquire” if I really needed too.

What I meant by “bit of backup” was you could actually restore files that were deleted since the last sync since it’s not always live like RAID and requires scheduled syncs to update the parity info. It’s a compromise I make as a home user for my media server.

Very cool! Can I ask if you’re using a UI framework or did you just use tailwind and build the buttons yourself? I like the look.

What’s EMDR? I think I have this too. I used to end up after headspace usually with a higher heart rate from overthinking and unnatural counting of my breaths.
xcrunner529··on Self-Host and Tech Independence: The Joy of Building Your Own
I like snapraid for media drives. As long as it’s something without lots of deletes and changes, I bet more space and can use mixed drives and get a bit of a backup too since it’s a manual sync to create or update the “parity”. And the added advantage that any drive taken out or they dies you still can read any if the content on the other drives at any time.

Yep. I have bought 3 or 4 for different uses. So perfect as servers. I run plex and lots of docker containers. Development. Etc. all of those machines are so useful for console Linux and containers.

I agree with him on most other political takes he has but yeah, that take is just plain cruel and is doing the typical Palestinian=Hamas Trump BS.

Hey now, yet another article of the millions on the linux packaging managers is VERY important!!
xcrunner529··on The Website Hacker News Is Afraid to Discuss
free market and free speech until it affects them. The human condition.

The Xbox brand for awhile. Taylor Swift these days for you know, speaking her mind as a woman, etc.

Which is a problem and perhaps there needs to be big "resets" of karma when you turn into a cabal. Wikipedia wouldn't work if it was run mostly by people like this, and I am sad to see it going in that direction too.
xcrunner529··on The Website Hacker News Is Afraid to Discuss
As opposed to slop on medium and nautil.us constantly posted here lol. (or wikipedia)
xcrunner529··on The Website Hacker News Is Afraid to Discuss
They're conspicuously silent. A coward.
xcrunner529··on The Website Hacker News Is Afraid to Discuss
How libertarian not to make those rankings public and open...
xcrunner529··on The Website Hacker News Is Afraid to Discuss
And has been around everywhere else. It's not even defensible. Something is rotten in Hacker News too and unfortunately for the cabal, Gruber wrote a very popular article that shined light into their back room dealings.

Guarantee you it's more popular than the million "nautil.us" or whatever junk posted here.

Yep, all while shouting "free speech, no censorship" and claiming to abide by the constitution. How embarrassing for them.
xcrunner529··on The Website Hacker News Is Afraid to Discuss
> We are becoming more interested in attempting to silence these comments/articles via flagging.

Which as always, is such a tell from those supposedly all about free speech and no censorship. You have Elon banning whomever he disagrees with or makes him look like a fool, press kicked out or people/companies critical of Trump essentially blackmailed. It's dangerous.

xcrunner529··on The FAA’s Hiring Scandal
Athletes are the original DEI. And Trump (the president!) didn’t have good grades.
xcrunner529··on The FAA’s Hiring Scandal
But you also have MTG who literally believes “they” control the weather so I’m not sure exactly why you single democrats out here or even the it to any kind of ideology specific consequence.

I’ll be fine. But I’m done caring about anyone who was too dumb to see it. I’m in FAFO mode.
