It will make for a very uncomfortable to read PDF.

And then all this effort was ruled illegal and the collection never saw the light of day. Thanks, copyright mafia.

I think you’re severely underestimating the effort of digitizing it. Usually the way that’s done is to break or saw off the spine and scan every page individually using a scanner, which is obviously a destructive process. Unless it’s an exceedingly rare book it probably is not worth the effort.

That 5 days ago link is just a weekly discussion thread that was made 5 days ago. The gun image was posted in the thread after the shooting.

I feel like for the people still using X, AI-generated bikini photos of minors are pretty far from being the final straw.

The video is from April 12 2025, no idea why they’re posting about it now.

Politically underdeveloped take. The thing about trying to come up with a third way (not capitalized) is that it will inevitably either result in putting yet another layer of makeup on capitalism and ultimately changing absolutely nothing, or rediscovering some variety of socialism that some guy invented a hundred years ago. Socialism almost by definition has a monopoly on any and all forms of fair and equitable society.

There’s a lot more to socialist politics than communism or leninism.

The images aren’t generated by the LLM part of Grok, they’re generated by a diffusion image model which the LLM is enabled to prompt.

And of course they can create things that don’t exist in the training set. That’s how you get videos of animals playing instruments and doing Fortnite dances and building houses, or slugs with the face of a cat, or fake doorbell camera videos of people getting sucked into tornadoes. These are all brand new brainrot that definitely did not exist in the training set.

You clearly do not understand how diffusion models work.

Image models can generate things that don’t exist in the training set, that’s kind of the point.

It’s a little strange how these numbers are relatively far off from what the Steam Hardware Survey suggests. On there, Linux is 3.2% of the userbase and Bazzite is 5.5% of that, so Bazzite is about 0.176% of the total userbase. Steam has about 70 million daily active users, so Bazzite’s share of that would be about 120 000.

Okay smart guy, but how about when you can’t make them eat anything?

Doesn’t $0.36 times 150,000 downloads come out to 54 thousand dollars, which is a lot of money?

Inspired by this post I spent a couple of hours today trying to set this up on my toy server, only to immediately run into what seems to be a bug where <video> tags loading a simple WebM video from right next to index.html broke because the media response got Anubis’s HTML bot check instead of media.

I suppose my use-case was just too complicated.

People have audited the APIs and it is a known issue that if you know the correct URL to certain resources on the server (e.g. specific files) you can fetch them without authentication. Nothing more serious than that has been found.

I would trust the FOSS software’s actually auditable security any day of the week over the sketchy proprietary solution targeting an extremely niche market.

For some reason they recommend against directly forwarding Jellyfin’s ports, but reverse proxies are fine. I expect this is because the default configuration doesn’t use SSL.

This smug mentality that security is unnecessary when exposing ports to the open internet reminds me of people who think its fine to drive drunk because “I’ve done it dozens of times before and nothing happened!” It also reminds me of the mentality of tech company VPs right before they have a massive data breach. It’s quite absurd to read.

I think you’ll find without exposing ports to the open internet we would not be having this conversation right now. Which, I suppose, wouldn’t be such a bad thing.

It does not say that in the documentation. What the documentation does have, however, are extensive instructions on how to make Jellyfin accessible on WAN: https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/post-install/networking/ https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/post-install/networking/reverse-proxy/

I’m not sure if you’re joking or not, but you can remotely stream from Jellyfin without using a VPN.

Abandoning streaming services only to become a serf of another commercial subscription service seems like such a bizarre move that I really don’t understand how Plex users even exist.

As far as I understand it, if the proposal was voted on and lost, there’d be a cooldown period for a certain time before they’re allowed to resubmit the same thing. The people pushing this are using a loophole of sorts where they retract the bill when it looks like it’s not going to pass and then resubmit it later with slight alterations. It’s an attrition tactic; they only have to win once whereas we have to repeal it every time.
