[db0] Reddit is a dead site running
  • I agree with the self sustainability.
    I started browsing fediverse a bit back, but there wasn't enough content so I would go back to Reddit (mostly to catch up on news and discussions).
    But I'm going to Reddit less and less now as there are more people engaging in fediverse content. I now mostly go back for specific subreddits, but not the general feeds anymore.

  • What are some good uses for an old laptop?
  • You're gonna tear your hair out trying to run AI on a laptop that old.

    Definitely either a NAS or a media server would be the best.

    If you're into the learning side, like you said a Linux box you don't have to worry of breaking would be good, or something to do with networking. Maybe some home automation, dashboard, etc...

  • Fidelity deepens valuation cut for Reddit and Discord
  • That's crazy. 30b is the valuation of RedHat. And they have like 10x the revenue, very steadily growing, very steadily making money, and holds a position in enterprise that is unlikely to fall soon.

    Finance undergrad for me to and that number feels really out of touch to me as well.

  • Reminder that RedHat makes A LOT of money already. The results of the 2019 fiscal year show that RedHat spends twice as much money on ads and sales people than on developers.
  • That's already 23% of their revenue, which is decently high for their size.

    (Grabbing larger companies cause it's easy data)
    Cloudflare: 18%
    Google: 15%
    Amazon: 11%
    Microsoft: 13%
    Apple: 7%
    Meta: 21%

    Sure they could definitely do better, but by no means are they spending "little".

    High growth tech companies typically spend 26% of revenue on R&D, but these are primarily small-mid scale companies that are actively expanding.

    The fact remains that RedHat is still one of the top linux kernel contributors in the past years.

  • [Question] to Linux from Windows as a daily driver
  • WSL is available on Windows Home.
    You're thinking about HyperV, not the "Virtual Machine Platform", the former require Pro+, and the latter is available on all (needs to be enabled), and is what enabled WSL, Docker, VirtualBox in HyperV.

    Bad naming IMO and misused by many vendors.

  • image generators like Midjourney or stable diffusion?
  • Beefy can mean things to different people too. I have a mobile 1660ti and it can generate images in decent times (about 40seconds for a 20iteration image from prompt)

    I'm slightly lacking in VRAM though, something 8GB VRAM would allow you to use most models.
