The Doctor

At last, a fellow sysadmin! Nice work.

I was wondering that, too. I’ve got a pair of GTX 1660 Supers in Leandra running a simulation, and they’ve been crunching away for nine days now.

Because they’re processing data all the time? They’re doing work?

My work laptop has been up for 26 days, 17:24. My primary server at home has been online for 42 days, 21:27. Personal laptop - 45 days, 20:51. The primary server of my exocortex has been online and crunching away for 278 days, 19:48.

It probably means that more people are hacking on it and getting their PRs accepted than are working on SquashFS. What constitutes software that is still alive these days is pretty badly skewed toward “if you don’t release four x.y.z releases every day your software is dead” these days.

Don’t pay for it, get a free account.

When you get right down to it, it’s all risk management.

It says pretty explicitly that it only runs on the user’s machine.

Nuance is deader than Elvis.

Why don’t you ask them? They’re very responsive to their community of users.

I just took a spin through their news blog and changelog and didn’t see anything about it in the latest release, so it’s probably not out yet.

There’s a difference between LLM slop (“write me an article about foo”) and using an LLM for something that’s actually useful (“listen to the audio from this file and transcribe everything that sounds like human speech”).

Look at how Mexican narcobloggers do it. Many of their sites are hosted at places like Blogger. They keep backups of everything they write (those sites let you download site archives from your control panel). They access everything over Tor using TAILS. They delay what they post compared to what happened, to make it more difficult to correlate who was within range of an event (i.e., witnesses) and when they posted it. They don’t post from home but go elsewhere.

They don’t tell anybody they’re narcobloggers. At all.

Thing is, then you stand out as one of the very few people using that alternative.

Probably. Very little will stop a mega from making money. Fines are budgeted as the cost of doing business.

This has been a common mode of discourse since the 90’s.

Who cares.

Folks that’re going to use Linux already are. Folks that are curious about it are trying it, and occasionally they post asking for help. Everybody else is using what they use and has no interest in changing.

The last time this happened, it took time to get those mines set up and operating. When it slowed down, they mothballed the mines, but they’re still there. It won’t take nearly as long to re-open them.

Earlier than expected. They’ve already kissed the ring, now they’re spreading the cheeks to get at the anus.

Supposedly. Whether or not it actually works is a different matter.
