Part of my reason for self-hosting is not to have what I’m watching tracked, but I did use the Trakt trending list to discover new content. Now, their website doesn’t show the trending list without an account, so I can’t be bothered with Trakt now.
I should not have laughed so hard at that. I’m a horrible person.
I decided against Backblaze for server backups because they charge for certain API calls, and I ended up exceeding the quota when I was testing with the free tier. I was experimenting with encrypted backups and not sure how I exceeded it, but it really put me off that I could potentially have a surprise bill from experimenting without exceeding my storage quota. I went with iDrive e2 specifically because they don’t have API fees and it has worked fine the last couple years. My storage utilization has grown and I’ve been charged extra, which is expected, whereas API calls would be harder to predict depending on what I do in a given month. For self-hosting, I want easy, predictable pricing and don’t want to deal with surprise bills. It’s enough of a chore to manage cloud spend at work without it being a headache at home too.
I first heard pizzle in Kingdom Come Deliverance: “Are you pulling my pizzle?”
I find myself on the phone trying to spell something and come up with words that begin with each letter. Agreed that it’s a solved problem and everyone should just learn it.

But SLS uses Space Shuttle engines and that landed in a runway.
I thought it was a stereogram, but alas nothing popped out at me.
Edit:
Maybe more like this with stubby legs and a long neck?
I would’ve assumed it would be made from plexiglass.
Just watched the video. It’s hilarious that it breaks the glass, pauses for a few awkward moments, bats its eyes, backs up, then just sits there batting its eyes.
There’s a kid’s book called Positive Ninja where the advice is to reframe situations using the word yet. As in, I haven’t been successful in accomplishing this yet. With this kind of positive thinking going around, those robots better have a care. 😉
NewPipe excels at this task.
Yawn, we all know how this goes. So what model am I not supposed to use? I’ll be sure and avoid it, though I’d much rather avoid downloading their leaked weights like I avoid other things I’m not supposed to download.
The studies about intrinsic vs. extrinsic motivation suggest otherwise, and that monetary rewards can even have a negative impact on productivity and creativity. Ultimately, we want a society of intrinsically motivated people doing their best, most inspired work, not a society following financial incentives.
Clearly SaaS isn’t working out, so just open source all the frontier models and stop building data centers so we can all buy our own GPUs.
I can see where an AI that fucks everything up all the time might be entertaining like a good slapstick comedy, but nah, Resident Evil Requiem is sufficient entertainment for now.
I know people who lied about having a degree, could do the job, and never got caught. I suppose speed running a degree from a degree mill yields a similar level of education, except with a piece of paper.
