“Sticker Shock” Bro, it’s not sticker shock when I have to literally stop eating entire classes of food because they’re simply too expensive. I’m not like “wow, eggs are $8 a dozen”, I’m like “guess no eggs, huh?”

Journalists are the most neolib softpeddlers I’ve ever seen.

I’d love to jump on this, and probably will when/if I can afford to.

For perspective, the one they’re proposing to build in southern NM has an estimated pollution output larger than the entire El Paso region. https://www.riograndesierraclub.org/project-jupiter/

Sorry, yes, that’d probably be a better term. Most of the ones I’ve found refer to themselves as routers, and the ones that were listed as APs mostly required a central mesh service of some sort (like nest/hub).

You are correct though, I just want to basically add solid wifi to my little pfsense appliance.

I’ll check out ubiquiti for sure. I’d been told it required a cloud connection, but if it can be run locally, that’ll do well.

My plan is to have a bunch of my self-hosted stuff sit inside this safe zone, inaccessible from outside of it. I currently have a really cheesy old 802.11g router, and I’d really like to go with something that supports higher speed and a little bit more polished management site (ideally one that can tell me the name of the devices, which even my old surfboard could do).

5Ghz 802.11ac would be nice, but really anything newer than g will be worth looking into.

I’ve added the link below the quote, which may help in the future.

I like that take.

I wonder if this being right on the heels is related to that.

I’d love that to be the outcome, tbh.

I appreciate the suggestion. It quite literally hadn’t even occurred to me, so I’ll be sure to do that for future posts intended for wide audiences.

Oh that’s wild! On fedia there definitely is, as in attached screenshot. I guess they decided that since nobody on reddit ever read the articles anyhow, why implement it :D

I posted the link to Ars, a pretty solid tech news source, but thank you for the direct link to Open AI’s announcement as well. The more sources the merrier!

Pretty much. In effect, they just paid 1 billion dollars to shovel their IP into the public domain woodchipper.

People have been sounding the alarm since Eisenhower, but nobody listens.

How is the color? I’ve been told it makes the screen less sharp, is it noticeable? I kinda want one, been using a tablet for comics lately and it’s nowhere near as good at night.

In fact just a few minutes ago I got another bundle from Humble that I loaded onto my kobo with no issue

I have owned 5 kobos over time, and just love them.

“Almost all”… Unless you read a very specific niche, I’ve rarely looked for a book that I wanted to read and not found it elsewhere. There certainly are some that are specific to KDP, but hardly “almost all”.

My kobos have been excellent, I’ve had a few over the years. MUCH sharper screens than the kindle by and large, and they support loading epubs, pdfs, cbz, all sorts of things.

If you live in the US, the best place to start is with a junkyard chassis, because if you have a VIN, all else is possible. If you want to go REALLY nuts, you can effectively create a sandrail type custom vehicle, but it’ll never* be allowed on freeways

(it’s not impossible, but the regulations and testing is a bit excessive)
