I've had the idea for a while to use an LLM to gather metadata about books for me as well as generate tag lists for themes, plot, writing style, etc for everything in my ebook library. You could also generate non spoiler plot summaries and produce recommendations for similar books.
I leverage btrfs or ZFS snapshots. I take rolling system level snapshots on a schedule (daily, weekly, monthly and separately before any package upgrades or installs) and user data snapshots every couple of hours. Then I use btrbk to sync those snapshots to an external drive at least once a week. When I have all of my networking gear and home services setup I also sync all of this to storage on my NAS. Any hosts on the network keep rolling snapshots stored on the NAS as well.
Important data also gets shoveled into a B2 bucket and/or Google drive if I need to be able to access it from a phone.
I keep snapshots small by splitting data up into well defined subvolumes, anything that can be reacquired from the cloud (downloads, package caches, steam libraries, movies, music, etc) isn't included in the backup strategy. If I download something and it's hard to find or important I move it out of downloads and into a location that is covered by my backups.
SpaceX has a very robust management system that manages musk and keeps him out of the day to day. That's the most impressive thing about them IMO. Tesla used to be better about this as well, but with the whole eDumpster (aka cybertruck) fiasco that system seems to have largely fallen apart.
But think of the opportunity cost here, you'd be wasting a chance to run over a child or a poor person!
We call those externalities, the taxpayers will handle them if we ignore them long enough that they become a crisis
Rewatching Foundation this week. Excellent show, well worth a (re)watch.
The real question is how were they faked? These demos almost never use the real production technology, they're just scripted to appear to
Wait for the popups insisting you connect and upgrade before you can use the TV
There's definitely an opportunity for someone to run their own curation service for personalized feeds based on a user's activity on other social networks.
I tend to just check All periodically for the first couple of months and follow tags and people that suit my own interests and build my own feed from zero. But that takes effort and time, and for folks who want an option further toward the convenience end of the privacy/convenience spectrum I suspect it would be a fairly popular option.
One of the features I really miss from the snu site is multireddits. It would be really handy to have a similar feature available in boost that can aggregate posts from multiple communities into a single feed view.
Last floor of a very successful berserker run. The imp quest netted a ring of wealth +2 to go with the alchemy kit I found earlier on. After a couple of SoUs into the ring I was swimming in upgraded scrolls throughout the demon halls, then a summoning trap room spawned adjacent to the entrance.
At an event on Sunday, Greene said she was "sick and tired" of the "stupid people" she works with in Washington, D.C.—including Republicans.
