I've noticed lots of sites disabling copy/paste I presume in an attempt to prevent scraping to feed LLM training.

The fediverse doesn't seem to be doing this.

Does that mean the fediverse could have an outsized impact on LLM results as the places for LLM scrapers dwindles?

Is there a sort of fedi-consensus on if we want to help or hurt LLMs? How might we go about doing one or the other if we have more influence?

Masters of The Air is fantastic but it's definitely missing something not incorporating vets stories. Have we passed the rubicon where there aren't any left to tell them? Maybe the actors portraying the vets could read things written by them in character or something?

It's fantastic but it feels like it's missing the magic, the authenticity, Band of Brothers and The Pacific have.

I think I've shared this before but, look, it's so good. It's Sunday morning and I just have to preach the good word of Peanut Butter and Jelly Oatmeal.

Overnight oats because I'm lazy.

Almond Milk, Oats, Brown Sugar (splenda mix), chia or flax if you want to fiber up.

Heat it up in the morning to something approaching hot

Add one large spoon full Peanut Butter, one large spoonful Jelly of choice. I recommend preserves so they don't totally melt info the oats. Stir until roughly incorporated

Tekchip, 1 month ago to space

I really want to go to space. Right now it seems my opportunities will be next to nil unless I find a job that can lead there. My skill set is IT.

I see all manner of news about mining going to space, hotels going to space, and yet can't seem to find a thing about who's going to be doing IT in space.

Does anyone have a line on companies that might be gearing up to provide "on site" IT services in space? Or are we looking at all space IT being a vertical of the rocket companies?

Holy shit Amazon...

Not only is this likely broken, but send up a flare for the porch pirates why don't you?

hey #linux people if I was going to build a #PC would I want to use AMD or Nvidia for the GPU? I've heard there's some issues with Nvidia but IDK if that's actually true.

The apprentice is checking the quality of the new wiring for my truck.

Or possibly the box it came in, I’m not sure.

This seems silly but I much prefer the noises the DJI Air 2S makes to what the Mini 4 Pro made. Far more pleasant. The motor check sounds like crickets and the echo effect on the start noise trails off nicely.

Mini 4 Pro motors were like crunch crunch and then POW! I'm alive! So agressive. Calm down Mini 4.

Sold my DJI Mini 4 Pro and traded up (down?) for a DJI Air 2S. Pictures about the same or better. Video worse. But it's got that sweet sweet SDK support for 3rd party apps. :badabing:

#KDE upgrade not going well... Not sure if the issue is #Wayland or #KDE itself, but I lost my custom keyboard shortcuts, Flameshot doesn't seem to work anymore, software-properties-qt doesn't accept my root password...

Maybe time to try #LinuxMint #Debian edition.

Sorry my posts have been kind of negative lately. Check out this cool and somewhat hilarious clock!

Mother nature, go fuck yourself!

It's like the planet knows when I get free time to potentially fly my drone. :AngeryCat:

Now do one that you feed your profile to and it generates a card based on your posts.

https://nashhigh.itch.io/fedi-cardmaker is still pretty fantastic though.

Tekchip, 3 months ago to Facebook

Started a Facebook account so I could setup a business page. Joined a community of commercial drone pilots because all the ytubers recommend socializing and networking. Respectfully challenged some assumptions in that group and now less than a week later I'm having to appeal a ban from Facebook for my account not meeting "community guidelines" with no detail as to what was in violation. I see Facebook is still a shit fire. :thinkerguns:

Had to sign up for facebook to get my business out there. I can, unfortunately, confirm Facebook is an insufferable as ever. Thank goodness for the Facebook containers plugin. Everything I can setup to directs people off facebook onto my website. That fuck'n place... :AngeryCat:

Webodm experiments crashed and burned yesterday. Somewhere mid processing the whole machine crashed. I didn't have time to deep dive and find out if it was hardware (the SSD isn't heatsinked) or if it was some software issue. Hoping to have time today to dig into it.

I got what I think is a pretty fantastic orthographic photo of the park near my house. Mapping efforts seem to be paying off.

For scale that running track is a quarter mile track with a youth football (American, sorry) in the middle.

Little bit scary but trying to put myself out there.

Feedback is welcome.

Logo is forthcoming, creative people taking creative time to get that bit done.

If you know anyone in Eastern Iowa or Western Illinois who needs to see on top of tall things, or doesn't want to wait for the next google maps satellite image update, let them know about me. Please and thank you!
