I really like the idea of . However, the available software systems just do NOT do it for me. My smart thermostat has been blinking that it cannot connect to my wi-fi for weeks, my is out-of-date because updating it is painful, my Z-Wave adapter is currently not functioning properly because somehow the adapter stack can't talk to it, ...

This is all a joke.

@grimmy @elb tbh updating has never been more complicated for me than docker compose pull && docker compose up -d

Some techy stuff that'll hit all the hashtags…

As a bit of a project, I noticed my old is quite near my 3D printer (basement) and it just runs a server. It has more capacity than that, so I attached an old usb camera, loaded and wrote some to take a pic of the printer and stuff it into both a web page and a home assistant dashboard.

Some innovation though…

@ottaross depending on your printer model (or even if you just want dedicated integration via a third party component), you might be very interested in https://octoprint.org/

Some people compare to a kiddie-pool programming language.

While I definitely agree it's got a shallow learning curve, the pool has a very sudden drop off after you get more than about β…”rds through.

After that, you're swimming right in the middle of the C.

Holy shit GPT4 quality has gone through the floor - what the hell its like being back working with da_vinci2 models???

This is why serious people cannot rely on a cloud AI service.

Okay, have just submitted a PR to a fediverse project to fix a critical security vulnerability; CVE score is like 9.9/10.

More news once administrators of this servers using this project can upgrade safely.

Update: CVE was in @pixelfed, and the advisory is published here: https://github.com/pixelfed/pixelfed/security/advisories/GHSA-gccq-h3xj-jgvf

@paarth@pirate.lgbt avatar

@thisismissem @pixelfed that's kinda a horrifying vulnerability level

paarth,
@paarth@pirate.lgbt avatar

@thisismissem @pixelfed I'm curious how it got caught/why it wasn't caught earlier, and whether older versions in the wild may still be affected. Though I imagine that may all have to wait until after 2/25?

BREAKING: Conservative Republican Governor Mike DeWine has just announced he will VETO the ban on gender affirming care that recently passed the legislature.

This comes after tireless efforts by families, LGBTQ+ activists, and the heads of Ohio's nationally recognized children's hospitals.

paarth,
@paarth@pirate.lgbt avatar

@e_urq @gavinisdie
> "None of [the families] that I talked to talked about surgery," said DeWine on Friday. "That's not where they were going in the discussion. And I think that's, frankly, a fallacy that's out there that, you know, this goes right to surgery. It just doesn't. All the children's hospitals say that we don't do surgeries."

Someone on another site mentioned that it's been a year since the LLM "AI" hype started, and it hasn't transformed anything.

This is coming just after Sports Illustrated was caught using (likely) AI-generated content with fake AI-generated headshots to pass it off as the product of real people.

I think that's interesting to think about where AI has been used, where it hasn't, and maybe why that is.

Microsoft Project Plan E5 is not the same as Microsoft Project Plan 1, right? Like, I've planted a flag on this hill and I may very well die here, but unless I've seriously misread some documentation E5 is view/edit only, and Plan 1 is create.

paarth,
@paarth@pirate.lgbt avatar

@ryan Ahhh, I missed that; then yeah your read seems 100% accurate to the documentation!

(whether Microsoft docs represent reality is a different question)
