UI doesn’t come up until database migrations fully complete. Can take half an hour or more depending on how much content is indexed in your instance.

You absolutely can refuse to hire someone (in the US) for something they have no control of, assuming it’s not one of the few protected classes. I could refuse to hire you over height, inability to grow facial hair, etc with zero repercussions.

That counts as unauthorized access in the eyes of the law. It’s a private system and they did not have any agreements permitting them to use it as they wanted.

Why would they need to look into Apple’s conduct here? Investigate Beeper for CFAA violations since they cracked into Apple’s internal APIs and ignored large chunks of their ToS in the process.

Of course Apple is going to shut down unauthorized access to their messaging system. They’d lose all customer trust instantly if they didn’t.

Hey this name is familiar… these guys sent me all their app telemetry for a couple weeks because they hardcoded AWS LB IPs into their software, and I got lucky enough to get one of those recycled IPs.

Wouldn’t be surprised if their apps are still screwed up and sending large amounts of junk traffic at me, but at least now it’s going into a void.

Steam is the only legitimate source to buy Steam games, every single one of the third party resellers deals in illegitimate keys

AMD has ROCm which tries to get close. I’ve been able to get some CUDA applications running on a 6700xt, although they are noticeably slower than running on a comparable NVidia card. Maybe we’ll see more projects adding native ROCm support now that AMD is trying to cater to the enterprise market.

Insurance can totally refuse future medical care until the implant is removed, especially if leaving it in poses a serious risk. Perfectly valid way to get her to have it removed without physically forcing someone to undergo surgery.

Maybe don’t allow autonomous cars on public streets then? The tech is nowhere near ready for prime time.

Looks like I’m about to switch fully to YT-DL/Plex for the subscriptions I care about. Should be good until they start embedding ads into the video files anyway.

Yeah, after literally bankrupting Westinghouse and costing us Georgians billions of dollars. I’m all for more nuclear power but this project was a colossal shitshow.

Georgia also has some shiny new solar factories so I’m interested to see how deep into renewables we can get in the next decade.

They can, but Reddit can just as easily restore it, with a blank mod list. But based on their actions I wouldn’t be surprised if they outright ban any mods that try this.

A few people have posted scripts in here and self hosted to automatically sub your instance to tons of remote communities. Text content from any indexed sub will be stored in your Postgres DB, but Pict-rs just caches remote images briefly.

Uhh… if your script is subbing to 24k remote communities, those will continue to grow from then on, unless you start purging communities at some point. After one user subscribes to a community, all new content gets indexed and stored on your instance. Pict-rs can cache images short term (and eventually clear them out), but Postgres will start growing very quickly and never slow down until it fills up disks.

I’ve had access to 4 for several weeks and it’s not really much better. Maybe I’m just asking too much of it though.

Strongly disagree about gpt being excellent for code, it’s extremely confident about the wrong answer most of the time. I’ve found it to be mildly useful as a Stack Overflow alternative (for asking general questions and having it point me in some direction) but it’s code outputs are garbage.

These instructions won’t work in anyone’s unraid box, even if they compile compose from source. Not sure why people think posting random chatGPT’d instructions is remotely useful.

You seem popular, it may be a good idea to invest in some queuing poles and velvet ropes for all the people that want to have intercourse with you

Karma/reputation is currently a thing here, it just isn’t rendered in Lenny’s UI. Memmy and Mlem for iOS both show totals on the user profile page.

Article suggests you simply get blocked from watching additional videos. But there’s no info on how that works- is it account based? IP based? Can I wipe my YouTube cookies to bypass a block?
