Almost constantly on calls and meetings. If I’m not moving my hands I’m not paying attention or absorbing and storing information. Or, as I like to say, just another day with debilitating ADHD.

One can dream…

Slow uplifting news day…

I’ve you ever looked at CUPS code? Forget wizardry, it’s straight up Eldritch lore in typed form.

So yesterday’s Anthropic victory said that the use of copyrighted works to train LLMs was fair use, but only because Anthropic had been buying and scanning in the media so the first sale doctrine was protecting them. Did the judge in the facebook case now really say that it was ok to pirate the materials in the first place because there was no market harm? That seems impossible, it seems like it would open up a huge loophole in copyright law.

Nice try, ChatGPT. No more training data and PII from me, thank you very much.

On two occasions I made a louder-than-necessary comment to my kids to stay away from those people (MAGA hats too) while they were within earshot and then listed reasons why. Got some dirty looks, but no one ever approached me. Because they’re a bunch of feckless cowards.

The safest and most flexible option would be to configure the BIOS to not use the RAID controller and just “see” the drives as a regular JBOD, and then setup a ZFS RAID-Z1 array and configure your zvols, etc. in that instead. RAID-Z1 is functionally very similar to old-school RAID-5. There’s virtually no performance penalty with software RAID these days, and you’re eliminating the proprietary RAID controller as a single point of failure.

He’s a modern day arms dealer.

On the one hand, I understand the inherent limitations of pseudonymous social media and why a corporation and even end users might benefit from authoritative user identification.

On the other hand, oh hell no.

So pleased whenever I run across a lemmy-specific comic or meme. Makes me feel like we really made it.

I know we’re all here for the LOLs, but just a quick reminder: it’s ok to enjoy things without being able to monetize them.
