Off topic, but since this is Lemmy, I choose to interpret your political assessment as,

  • 4 US lapdogs: UK, Saudi Arabia, China and India
  • 2 dictatorships: Canada and Australia
  • fast becoming a dictatorship: Ireland.

I saw an article about one trained on research papers. (Built by Meta, maybe?) It also spewed out garbage: it would make up answers that mimicked the style of the papers but had its own fabricated content! Something about the largest nuclear reactor made of cheese in the world...

It also gives context for what way things could be worse. Compared to a completely dissociated suggestion like, "the entire universe didn't spontaneously turn into farts therefore this isn't the worst timeline."

It demonstrates how things could be worse, but aren't.

Cheese is the answer. The worst possible timeline would not have cheese.

One must imagine you happy

Yes! No more keyboard! Pick your letters with a mouse and menus.

Eight Megabytes And Constantly Swapping

I don't think so. It reads to me like, if one day of massive violence from people generally, happened, then after that the police would be given freedom to crack down severely on everything.

"Fear leads to...'the security of My New Empire'"

Addendum: I re-read the quote and now I feel I can read it either way.

 

I've been playing around with self hosting for file sharing, backups, and a handful of other ideas I might one day get round to. I like the idea of a mesh VPN and being able to, for example, connect a travelling laptop to a 'host' laptop nearby, though my only public ip is a VPS in another country.

Of all the options I found, I liked the look of Nebula most. Fiddly in some places, but it's working nicely for me, and I appreciate some of the simplicity of design.

I'm wondering if people here have much experience of it, though? My biggest concern is over its future. With,

  1. The Defined Networking site focusing on making money off it, and
  2. The Android app doesn't allow full configuration (including the firewall, so I can't host a website from a phone) but - I heard - does if you use Defined Networking's paid service for configuration,

makes me worry they might be essentially trying to deprecate viable FOSS Nebula in favour of a paid or controlled service.

Any thoughts? Insight?

 

I finally watched Frozen 2 on the plane a few days ago. Did somebody pay Disney to shill for homeopathy?

 

Hi I've been gradually finishing my first and only-main farm, and wanted to share :-) It started as the central plaza and fish ponds (since I came to love fishing!) and grew from there. I was going to get all-seasons screenshots and post together, but that's going soo slowly; and, hey, content!

Hope you like it! I think there's a little bit of just about everything there, and if you look closely you can see me sitting on a bench enjoying the flower garden. It's been single player until right at the end I added the 'guest lodges' to share with family and friends. I love how well they fit in places I hadn't planned!
