To be fair, IF tumblr had added the tipping feature while porn was huge on the site, it might have became Onlyfans.

OF wasn’t always a porn site. It was trying to be a Patron that allowed adult content, but it became just a porn site.

I argue something similar would have happened to tumblr

Imagine less off a proper BOD and more of a 3D Printable holder for 3.5 inch drives and no actual connections.

I was considering a mini ITX PC with just an external SAS to Sata PCI card. But at the rate of just building that I might end up just building a better tiny nas box with maybe a jonsbo case like the N3

Leto certainly didn’t help, but historically this is how this is supposed to go.

Its probably a parent company situation.

Lots of corpo structures are just large parent companies that actually just own a bunch of smaller companies so that the parent company gets the profits while the smaller companies make the risky products and can be bankrupted at any minute.

The company I work for does that. We just bought a couple companies that were competitors in a risky but profitable market. The full idea is that if one company gets sued to oblivion, we let that company die, move all the employees and customers to the backup company, and call it a day.

Capitalism baby!

Probably why they didn’t do it in the first place.

They barely pay for moderation. Who is going to pay for that survey? And also why would they? Obviously most of the people on that site are under 18. That’s when I used it.

What other demographic clicks the horny ads they run?

Yeah I’m not doing it for the energy savings I’m doing it for personal comfort.

If I was really concerned about energy use at that scale I would simply not use a computer.

I’m just saying. She could have totally stole them from Mexicans.

Which would technically not be a lie.

I actually don’t even care about AI Ethics here.

Fuck Academic Dishonesty!

I had taco bell for lunch and ramen for dinner. So maybe today is a bad example

Look I love my mom.

But one of us has a therapist and a taste for new interesting foods. The other has anger issues when the food isnt Banquet Turkey in gravy with boxed mash potatoes.

I usually follow the craft computing video whenever I have to set it up. He has a document in the description with all the things you might need to passthrough a GPU but only like half are needed to passthrough an HBA

Proxmox wiki has a more concise guide IMO

It was really simple to do in Proxmox.

You will find no name brand HBAs in IT mode on eBay for half the price of Intel, Supermicro, Dell, Etc branded ones. Do not buy the no names. I spent a week flashing and reflashing some cheap one, cycling through cables, etc. Nothing.

My supermicro branded one worked absolutely no issue. And I think it was like $40

It probably took a total of 30 minutes to pass it through and build the VM and everything. It took a couple days to rebuild my data from my previous truenas server but I had 10 TB of data on 4 drives.

The only issues I’ve had have been my own reading comprehension in setting up truenas accounts.

Are you using truenas as the entire homelab?

I also love messing with stuff until it breaks and I learn something, but I’ve decided I just want my files to be accessible.

So I actually have truenas virtualized with a passed through HBA so I can run proxmox to host all my breakable VMs while leaving truenas alone.

That’s so funny. Rip those poor idiots HAH!

I like your vague language. It really conveys the sense of mystery and intrigue you’re going for.

So Khazars are a real active modern faction? Is it like Kabal practicing Gentile Converts?

Khazar is an interesting new identity to me.

Cursory google search says it was a trade empire that lasted 200 years and converted to Judaism.

Off topic to the rest of the post, but I’m now deeply curious what a modern day Khazar is and what it means to you. Please enlighten me!

Dumber, ice quota

Wall wart gang!

I learned something interesting from my AI researcher friend.

ChatGPT is actually pretty good at giving mundane medical advice.

Like “I’m pretty sure I have the flu, what should I do?” Kinda advice

His group was generating a bunch of these sorta low stakes urgent care/free clinic type questions and in nearly every scenario, ChatGPT 4 gave good advice that surveyed medical professionals agreed they would have given.

There were some issues though.

For instance it responded to

“Help my toddler has the flu. How do I keep it from spreading to the rest of my family?”

And it said

“You should completely isolate the child. Absolutely no contact with him.”

Which you obviously can’t do, but it is technically a correct answer.

Better still, it was also good at knowing its limits and anything that needed more than OTC and bedrest was seemingly recognized and it would suggest going to an urgent care or ER

So they switched to Claude and Deepseek because they wanted to research how to mitigate failures and GPT wasn’t failing often enough.
