Wow that’s an awesome project! Thanks for sharing, now I can get a camera that’s inexpensive, has everything I want and doesn’t require malware to be installed on my phone/network!

The maximum price that I’m willing to pay for a brand new Xbox x (or whatever it’s called this week) is $150 and only if it comes with a blu-ray reader and two wireless controllers

i “fixed” the problem of those fucking bots by blocking everyone except my country

LOL if 4gb of memory is pretty minimal I am curious to know that they think to be resource intensive.

The maximum memory I am willing to allocate to a lxc container dedicated to bookmark management (=something that I access twice a month) is 256mb

This is an ad, so the computer pictured is not fictional, but it’s the HP Mediasmart ex470 (I think this joke book was even bundled with the first units)

They used really shitty processors so it’s ewaste, maybe it can be acquired for cheap and repurposed with some mini itx board

I think it depends by the manufacturer and how they programmed the charger, I got two HP ProBook that almost exclusively got used when plugged in and after a decade they can still last over two hours, instead my Thinkpad t42 with the same usage pattern now just barely holds enough for shutting down the system

About the second question, yes, now for “safety”, only bambu slicer can directly send prints to the a1 mini, it got the enshittification update too.

if you need to buy it, for that budget i’d choose something like an used Lenovo m910q tiny that banks and offices are throwing to the landfill because Microsoft said that everyone needs to buy a new PC. Half the price, similar power consumption (in idle, otherwise much more), much more powerful, comes with nvme and sata slots, hdmi and usb 3

yes and no, unfortunately i need to use banking apps and the product managers who are giving the instructions for the app are complete assholes who put the most draconian detection systems

1993 and they didn’t update the song for Czechoslovakia?

It can be disabled, right? Right?

That can be fixed easily* with programs like beets

* = the program itself is easy to use, but installing and configuring it, requires a PhD in Linux-Arch-ology

Italian here: one Saturday I start to get lots of downtime notifications

I don’t understand what’s happening, because they come and go, I get hundreds of them

I connect to the server, waste four hours, everything looks ok but pages don’t load? Weird?

I go to sleep without solving the problem

The morning everything looks fine, so I can go to my self hosted news reader and I discover in my feeds that the FUCKING soccer league blocked cloudflare “accidentally”

The best part of our system is that if the block isn’t disputed within a week, then the IP address is permanently banned. Can it be more stupid than that? Do they really think that pirates won’t change their ip address?

We gave the keys of our internet to two litigious copyright trolls

And this exclusively harms honest people because pirates just use a VPN. I saw pirate websites that when accessed from an Italian IP address have some legitimate content, need to access from a VPN. So the block is completely useless

you can install dockge in truenas and then all your docker data is not “locked” inside their application data

my HBA takes 20W at idle

If the house was purchased before 2023, theoretically they get market value +15%

But still it’s a waste as we all know from the beginning that the project will never ever be completed, it’s from the 80s that’s “will start soon”

Paying for using a model hosted on someone else’s computer is technically prostitution 😛

At least with self hosting if you really like that model you don’t risk that tomorrow the ai Bros change the backend with a different model (gpt5) or raise prices

scale, they got rid of the kvm emulator in the last release and i was devastated to see all my VM gone. The “migration” consists in you migrate the disk image to the new directory, then you make a new VM… IF you knew that BEFORE the update and took note of all the settings because the old VM menu is gone!

but also it’s clear than core is on life support

Exactly, for example I missed the note that updating truenas to the latest version disables and hides all the virtual machines (theoretically they can get migrated to the new engine but it gave me some weird error. Luckily truenas can be downgraded easily.)

Now, 3 months after the First release of the update, those virtual machines aren’t disabled and hidden anymore

Or ignore it and let Americans pay higher prices. 20% while the floor for any other country in the world is 15% is almost the same. Also, it’s not like you can purchase those chips from somewhere else.

Otherwise they risk doing like Fuji that spent millions to move production of some cameras back to Japan just to let TACO to change mind after a few weeks and get a similar tariff applied. End result: customers pay more
