As a German I am super happy to hear that you are having such a good time in my, or now our, country. So often the news focus only on the bad things which sometimes blinds me on how nice people can be to each other and help each other out as one big community.

I'm sorry but how tone-deaf can someone be? Over 12.000 people have been killed in the protests with some reports going up to 30.000 since then and here you are happy about the fact that Google cannot profile them anymore. Protesters are beeing shot on-masse in the streets and families from outside the country have no ideas if their brothers and sisters are even still alive. Have some decency.
When I tried out Zorin OS I noticed that they advertised a connect-app as well which does exactly what KDE connect does. After a bit of investigating I noticed that the app is quite literally a 1:1-copy with just the name and branding changed, no features added, no bugs fixed. Does anyone know if KDE connect allows this in the first place?
Libraries are truly something amazing. My local one offers an incredible amount of stuff, all for just 15€/year. They have their own streaming-service, you can lend e-books and magazines easily online, rent consoles/videogames, water, tea and coffee either free or just 1€, events to learn languages, hang out or just get together with the local community, book trades, the list goes on. More people should support their local libraries, they need/deserve it much more than so many other services.
The possibility of jail-time only exists in Ireland, no other country in the EU. Even there, prison-time is the maximum, not a guarantee. Courts may opt for fines, suspended sentences, or probation, I don't think at any point will anyone go to jail for this, especially considering this is only a possibility after a conviction and repeated non-compliance in important sectors like healthcare, banking or transport.
I grew up very close to the HNF and spend a great time there during my childhood to the point that the employees all knew me by name. The museum took a great part in shaping me into the nerdy person that I am today and put me into the career-path that I am currently on. The museum is amazing and the exhibitions are always fascinating, I greatly recommend them to anyone who is ever in the area.
This does seem a nice feature and definitely a step in the right direction but why use e2ee for video and audio but not chat? That's afterall where most of Discords activity is happening
This would help a bit, but loads of people still see a button and click the button without realizing what they click on. It's best to keep stuff as far away as possible, especially when one of the actions is to become the potential president of Iceland
Firefly kinda worked around this. You can download all transactions of your bank as a CSV, then use the Firefly importer to automatically map the data and save it inside Firefly. I usually do this once a week and it works pretty quickly, maybe a minute of work.
> And in 2024, Spotify will stop paying out songs which get less than 1000 streams in a year. Which means for me, as an artist in the early stages of my career, I am going to get paid nothing. I could get over 1000 streams on all my songs in total, but still get paid nothing. I could get 999 streams on a song one year and 999 streams on it the next year… and still get paid nothing.
I somewhat understand the idea the author is trying to write down, but thats 3€ a year per song an artist is potentially missing out. I dont think any artist is going to cry after those few bucks.
I like the idea but why underground? Why not above it so they can be easier serviced and managed. Also it makes repairs in case of incidents lots easier. Also we could stick multiple trucks together to safe space and make then run at a more similar speed. We could also remove the need for each container to have its own pulling engine, lets put a strong one at the front.
I just invented trains again didnt I? Whatever you do, you always end up with trains
I'd like to train one of the provided LLM's with my one data, I heard that RAG can be used for that. Does anyone have any pointers on how this could be achieved with llamafiles all locally on my server?
I am currently planning my own small LLM trained on documents we use internally for work. Does anyone have any tips and tricks on how to make this work the best? Could a project like Llamafile help me with this, even if it is just for testing?
BRC is a game I enjoyed immensly this year and the first game I 100% in a while, and mods like this made it even more amazing. I want to express my dearest gratitude to the creator of this mod, not only for adding multiplayer to this game but also for this article that shows whats going on behind the scenes
> When he began his daily commute in January 2016, he had few problems with the hour-long journey on a high-speed intercity train, bookended by cycle rides. The trip would have taken three times as long by car
This part confuses me a bit. Deutsche Bahn was bad 7 years ago and it has only gotten worse, but travelling more than 230km a day while depending on DB seems like a bet that can only go wrong, no matter when this started
Considering the screenshot on the linked page shows The Flash among other movies I dont think the author is too concerned about that. I believe its similar to the area that Plex and Jellyfin operate in, mainly that they just provide the framework and tools, what the user does with them is not in their control
You are not wrong that big content-creators can more easily get 1000 new followers than someone starting from scratch. But the amount of followers is only one metric that for example the YT-algorithm uses. Viewer-retention, amount of comments, amount of videos posted and the length of plus probably hundreds of other metrics are important as well and only ticking one of those boxes will only get you so far
An offline reader does sound pretty nice. I have to travel for work quite a lot in the Berlin Metro and often loose connection there, so a way to cache stories before would be great
That is already possible as long as the machine you are hosting photoprism on is already open to the internet. You can create a shareable link to an album (dont know about individual pictures) which gives people read-only access to that specific album and nothing else
