Wouldn't surprise me, either.

Why is Trilium so unknown? (github.com)

I mean Trilium is fantastic app, lots of potential but the developer is struggling on his own, maybe it's because it's younger than logseq or maybe because is open source compared to obsidian. I think it's the best note-taking/knowledge-base/second-brain i know it virtually could link everything you posses toghter to create a...

For whatever it's worth, this is the first I've ever heard of it (I thought you were referring to the IM client at first). It doesn't seem to be on any of the popular self-hosted software lists (like https://github.com/awesome-selfhosted/awesome-selfhosted).

Well. I suppose I'll have a Coke.

I'm not sure if I should chuckle in amusement, or wince because all of the recursively trained AI systems will go right into production.

Honestly? I think Ubuntu's userbase is about to get a lot bigger. The larger hosting companies (AWS and Digital Ocean are the two that come to mind immediately) support Ubuntu as a first-class citizen, so once the not-true blue RHEL distros take the hit migrations are going to happen.

Who do I have to let sit on my face to eradicate systemfail?

Well, yeah, threats do work. Because enough domestic terrorists have followed through with them in the last ten years that taking them seriously must be part of the threat model.

I used to when I was a kid. I don't remember too much about it.

These days? Never, but I'm mostly writing Ansible and Terraform at work.

When I was writing any code at previous jobs? Also never. It was one part we were highly restricted in what we were allowed to use (and I didnt feel like trying to get gdb through the approval process; it was far easier to just use print statements inside of conditionals) and one part the languages all being scripting languages.

Nah. Best case scenario, they give it a day or two for everyone to forget. Worst case scenario they'll come up with some bullshit reason for it to not happen.

I think if they knew that crossplay was a thing, they totally would start cracking down on conventions.

I ran Nextcloud at home briefly, for maybe two weeks. Setting it up was fairly easy, but it was rather slow. Slow enough that I couldn't get anyone else in the house to use it for longer than ten minutes. Eventually ripped it down.

I need to figure out how much power Leandra (my primary server at home) is pulling, so I can determine whether or not I need to get her a more powerful PSU. Because I finally have a GPU that will let me play with some of the more recent ML cores but she won't boot if it's installed (which I suspect is a power issue). I /could/ throw a couple of hundred bucks at a new PSU but I want to know what's going on first.

I also need to get around to writing the modules that will plug my weather station into InfluxDB as well as a couple of different citizen science projects. I kinda regret not going with Weewix because I sank rather a lot of time into writing my own software, and I feel kind of conflicted about it.

That is the name of the server in question.

I use it for pretty much all of my stuff, both as a message bus as well as a command-and-control mechanism for my bots.

Some of the older adventures (AD&D, first and second edition) were written as single-player modules, kind of like the adventure game books of the same historical era. They're sort of like Choose Your Own Adventure books, but with RPG engines bolted onto the side controlling some of the paths taken.

Bitcoin's in the low $29kus region lately (up from $26kus), so it looks like it's going to keep going. Also, big real money investors are now pretty long on cryptocurrency, so there is a vested interest in keeping it around.

Plus, you know, folks buying stuff on the black and grey markets with it. Wish I didn't have to mention drugs, but it's the easiest way to keep getting insulin for folks these days in addition to the usual recreational compounds.

For certain values of 'anonymous', anyway. There are still folks who don't think that traffic analysis applies to cryptocurrency.

I still don't understand why the Bitcoin community (in particular) has been so resistant to increasing the block sizes and the transaction rates. As it stands right now, the Bitcoin network can't push even a small fraction of what the SWIFT network handles every second. The arguments on the old IRC channel made no sense (and got a lot of us k-lined before we even saw any replies!)

"Infinitely more oppressive forms of capitalism," not "Bitcoin users are oppressed."

People have realized it, and they don't seem to care.

Every time there is a market correction, the prices fall such that more folks can buy in. Folks might not be able to buy in right now at $29kus, but if and when the price falls back to $25kus at some point the price point might be more conducive.

I've found that the same folks who crowed the loudest about cryptocurrencies being decentralized were working the hardest behind the scenes to build the first generation of exchanges and online wallets.

The Silk Road did more for harm reduction and harm management than anything else in the last ten years. Have to give 'em credit for that.

Just download your transaction CSVs from Coinbase and throw them into a Git repo.
