  • The bubble is propped up by governments.
    They don’t need “as good as an employee but faster”. They just need “faster”, so they can process gathered data on an enormous scale to filter out the “potentially good” from the “not worth looking at”.
    Then they use employees to actually assess the “potentially good” data.

    Seriously, intelligence agencies don’t need “good ai”, they just need “good enough ai”.
    And they have that already.



  • TIDALs continued awesomeness suggests suitable alternatives.
    Spotify pays Joe Rogan how much? And pays artists how little?
    TIDAL does music.
    I changed a few years ago, and all I miss are the integrations.
    I’m lucky that I have decent speakers & dac on my desktop, and decent IEMs. So I can listen to music where I want.
    But I can’t buy a “tidal speaker” in the way I could buy a “Spotify speaker”.
    But I’m arrogantly confident enough to waste some money solving this with home assistant, some rpi/nucs, and some speakers. I feel I don’t need (I actually don’t want a vendor locked in) “just works” solution, and I’m happy rolling my own.



  • Yeh, ventoy takes an extra step (but ventoy is itself an extra step): find the iso from a legit source instead of using the media creation tool, install software to edit iso, add unattended.xml to the iso, plop iso on ventoy drive.

    Anyone playing around with or working with Linux/windows:
    Check out ventoy. I think they’ve solved their issues of binary blobs and it is so useful.
    Create a Ventoy usb drive. Drag any and all OS ISOs onto the USB stick. Boot from the USB, choose which ISO to actually boot.
    Want to switch flavours of live Linux (or try another installer)? Boot from usb, choose different ISO.
    Absolutely fantastic software

    Pretty much any mikrotik is a fantastic piece of kit to have.
    It is so unbelievably versatile.
    I love the various mikrotik routers, switches and APs I have. I use them all the time for little ad-hoc networks and projects and stuff.
    You will learn a lot about networking when using them.

    But Unifi is a hell of a lot easier to use, and I have not found anything I can’t do on unifi (but I don’t do bgp, mlag, etc at home).
