Did I say OC? I photoshopped the Bloomberg thing on top of someone else's meme that I ~~stole~~ obtained via fair use. It's basically OC by tech companies' standards.

The Biden administration has already awarded tens of billions of dollars under the bipartisan CHIPS and Science Act passed in 2022 for the purpose of boosting domestic semiconductor production, but President Donald Trump's return to the White House has sparked speculation over the future of the projects.

Trump slammed the legislation ahead of the election, saying during his interview on "The Joe Rogan Experience" in October, "That chip deal is so bad." The president criticized sending billions of taxpayer dollars to "rich companies" and suggested imposing tariffs on foreign-made chips would be a better way to move production to the U

No games that lead to players being pissed at other players, even outside of the confines of the game. I've had that happen with, for example, Secret Hitler, so no Secret Hitler.

The Mind seems to do that. Hanabi does it to an extent.

Idk who out there has the specs to run this at 8K in all its glory, but can we be friends?

Video Description:

In this video, Yanis Varoufakis delves into the seismic developments of January 2025, spotlighting the transformative impact of DeepSeek—a groundbreaking Chinese AI company that has sent shockwaves through the global tech and financial landscapes. By releasing free, open-source AI models, DeepSeek has not only disrupted the American stock markets but has also outperformed proprietary giants like OpenAI's GPT-4, challenging the very foundations of the AI industry.

Varoufakis unpacks the far-reaching implications of this upheaval, framing it within the context of techno-feudalism. He critiques the monopolistic "cloud capital" models typified by Amazon's Alexa, contrasting them with the democratizing potential of commodified AI services such as ChatGPT. The discussion extends into the geopolitical arena, analyzing the intensifying tech rivalry between the United States and China and what it signals for the future of global power dynamics.

I'm thinking of expanding my homelab to support running some paid SaaS projects out of my house, and so I need to start thinking about uptime guarantees.

I want to set up a cluster where every service lives on at least two machines, so that no single machine dying can take a service down. The problem is the reverse proxy: the router still has to point port 443 at a single fixed IP address running Caddy, and that machine will always be a single point of failure. How would I go about running two or more reverse proxy servers with failover?

I'm guessing the answer has something to do with the router, and possibly getting a more advanced router or running an actual OS on the router that can handle failover. But at that point the router is a single point of failure! And yes, that's unavoidable... but I'm reasonably confident that the unmodified commodity router I've used for years is unlikely to spontaneously die, whereas I've had very bad luck with cheap fanless and single-board computers, so anything I buy to use as an advanced router is just a new SPOF and I might as well have used it for the reverse proxy.

Well, as the post states I have a Ethernet port showing unknown after a reboot. Been running for a few years fine. Tried rebooting and restarting the network manager but I’m a loss here. Hardware is a nuc11 with an i7 and 2.5 gbe nic

GeForce NOW will be free for existing paid users during this transition time

We expect the transition will take a minimum of 5 weeks. Visit your account portal for future updates on when the transition will complete and billing will resume

That basically means existing subscribers will be able to use the service for 1+ months for free starting from Jan 31

You can see it if you check https://fedidb.org/. Monthly active users have gone from just a hair under one million to somewhere around 1.4 million and still growing. How do we think this will go? How do we feel about this influx of new users? Has PixelFed done something different that Mastodon hasn't?

I feel like I didn't really recognize having different "platforms" like Mastodon, PixelFed, etc would give multiple opportunities for the fediverse to make a "first" impression with people.

Hi all!

This is my first post from my self-hosted Lemmy instance!

Thanks all you guys who gave me suggestions and help!

Hope you can see it, BTW :)
