Gaming@lemmy.zip•A Japanese association that reps publishers like Square Enix has called on OpenAI to stop training Sora on Japanese mediaEnglish
3·4 days agoOh well they called for it. So it’ll stop.

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•How to keep track of system temps and hardware health indicators via dashboard with a proxmox installation?English
5·9 days agoYeah Proxmox leaves a lot to be desired in terms of metrics. However, metrics are supported out of the box. Bad news, you probably won’t get what you want within proxmox. Good news, you have another project you get to undertake! Hooray!
Like I said, Proxmox supports metrics out of the box. If you go Cluster -> Metric Server you’ll be able to see that you can add a metric server. The first iteration I did with proxmox I added an InfluxDB container which then proxmox can talk to (yes they can be on the same host), and then proxmox will start pumping metrics into InfluxDB. (It uses Telegraf under the hood). Then, you can also run Grafana, add your InfluxDB as a data source, and then you have a sweet metrics dashboard. There are a lot of pre-built dashboards already made that look great, and you can customize from there.
You can also use Graphite, I personally haven’t used it, but I also dropped Influx over time too. These things evolve in that sort of way. That’s how I’d get set up and started though.

4·9 days agoIt depends on your setup of course, many ways to skin that cat. You didn’t really say where you wanted dashboarding. Do you want it through a terminal? Through a UI within proxmox? Personally I took it as an opportunity to learn Grafana and hosted it

Technology@beehaw.org•How “Neutrality” And “Free Speech” Become Excuses For Driving Out The People You Claim To ValueEnglish
1·11 days agoYes… That is the choice. That’s the entire point of the article.

Gaming@beehaw.org•Beefed Up TwitchCon Security Couldn't Stop The Internet's Issues From Spilling Over Into Real LifeEnglish
7·11 days agoHonestly a good article, and a perfect example of performative security. Security was ever present, hassled people, wore tactical vests and made a big show - but still did nothing of actual value
Twitch backpedaled and said they’ll add moar security, but won’t do anything to actually protect creators like grant them their own security guard.
To me, it’s obvious. Guy didn’t have a knife, didn’t threatened her, it’s some lonely creepy dude who doesn’t respect her and very sick in the head. They don’t need another row of metal detectors, they needed someone managing the line and access to her so he couldn’t just walk up to her, and if he did still make it that close then an immediate boot out of the premises with charges for assault filed with a permanent from all future events.
Instead they just… Let him walk around and be chill, and sounds like he was only banned well after the huge backlash.

Technology@beehaw.org•Study Boldly Claims 4K And 8K TVs Aren't Much Better Than HD To Your Eyes, But Is It True?English
8·11 days agoSeconded. Really depends and very dependent on the person and source.
I noticed quite a bit with my OLED TV sitting about 7 feet away from it. My wife doesn’t care, and she would say it doesn’t make a difference until we watched something that was truly done well like Dune.
There’s too many variables here to say “doesn’t make a difference”. We can safely say “diminishing returns” which is universally true, but not that there is no change
Did a takehome for a company recently that did it well. They required that I make a docker file (you could give them one if you wanted) where when ran it would run tests. It was a neat use of docker IMO, it standardized that builds were just “build the docker file” and running was just “run the dockerfile”. You would t have to deal with tar or anything then.

Gaming@lemmy.zip•Halo: Campaign Evolved announced for release in 2026English
3·13 days agoSomeone mentioned this idea, and it makes sense tbh. They have a team who hasn’t done unreal engine together, what better way to teach the entire team unreal than to redo an older game completely in it. The teaching time is now profitable and they have a base engine ready for the next halo, already customized for it.

Technology@beehaw.org•AWS outage reminds us why $2,449 Internet-dependent beds are a bad ideaEnglish
19·14 days agoOof okay so they definitely fucked up architecture wise BUT:
We are currently outage-proofing your Pod experience and we will be working tonight-24/7 until that is done.
Douchebag CEO right there. God knows he was just like FIX IT NOWWWW to them and forced them to work overtime because of this. This is a complete rearchitecture. Sure it can be done, but it’s not a one night change.
Same. Honestly my friend group doesn’t even use trucks anymore. To me it’s faster to push as hard as you can to trains. They’re much more reliable and handle liquids (and solids) much more efficiently.
Balancing liquids can be tricky, but it’s possible and has been for a while. Aluminum is the first time you’re forced to back feed a liquid, is that what you’re referring to?
What sort of issues?

22·15 days agoMan I do love me some crazy promises tech bros make. Talk to me when it’s a reality. Even then, meh. I like not having a screen in my eyeball.

Technology@beehaw.org•My Car Is Becoming a BrickEnglish
7·16 days agoJust the other day my uncle said “I’ll never drive an EV because they’re doing all these subscriptions to them”, and that’s what I’m arguing against though. Yes it happens to EVs, but by not being more broad and including ICE vehicles they’re doing a disservice to EVs.

Technology@beehaw.org•My Car Is Becoming a BrickEnglish
25·16 days agoI disagree with this a lot. The article unfairly calls out EVs. EVs are just newer and getting flack. all cars are going this way. Buy any new ice car and they’re going to treat it like a smart phone as well, extras, add-ons, and 2 years in the future they’ll deprecate it all saying you need an upgrade.

They said they were open to it but they had zero priority of doing it themselves, and essentially “submit a PR if you want it”. A shame really, their interface is great, and such an easy setup. If they implemented either xmpp or matrix I would switch immediately. All of my friends want a discord clone that “just” works, but no one wants to go to this server for this group and then login to that server for that group. They want a single-pane interface like what discord offers.
Shortsighted to not implement that IMO.
Yeah I would assume if anything they would have helped them bring federation
