If WASM+WASI existed in 2008, we wouldn’t have needed to create Docker. That’s how important it is. WebAssembly on the server is the future of computing. - Solomon Hykes (co-founder of Docker)

I assume WASM will grow in popularity to ultimately replace containers and an open source serverless platform will emerge that has similar ubiquity to k8s. So far, we have projects like wasmCloud and Fermyon.

I use Forgejo with LFS for my Blender projects, so this would probably be useful to me if a similar feature were added there.

As an aside, it seems Blender uses Gitea and not sure they have plans to migrate to Forgejo anytime soon since it looks like they’ve poured a lot of resources into Gitea and even formed a partnership with the maintainers:

It’s useful. It wastes a lot of my time with its stupid bullshit. Both are true. 😆

PopOS used to be my distro of choice as a de-crapified Ubuntu alternative until I realized I like the Cinnamon DE and Mint a lot better. Still exciting to finally see a 24.04 release!

I was considering MinIO, then evaluated Garage, then decided it wasn’t with the trouble since a lot of the things I host don’t even natively support object storage. I do use LFS with Forgejo and it would’ve made sense there, and maybe Jellyfin supporting object storage would be a tipping point.

Ha, I went down the whole Ceph and Longhorn path as well, then ended up with hostPath and btrfs. Glad I’m not the only one who considers the former options too much of a headache after fully evaluating them.

I dual boot Windows for Cubase and Kontakt. Never could get Cubase working well on Linux and I probably could switch to Reaper and make Kontakt work with yabridge, but I have been using Cubase for over 20 years and haven’t had the inclination to switch just yet.

I run Ubuntu Server 24.04 LTS with k3s. I update my container versions every few months, though not everything I’m running all at once. I update the actual system packages via apt maybe once a year and end up nuking and re-installing everything every couple years on average. I deliberately block all inbound WAN traffic in my firewall and use k8s network policies to aggressively limit egress WAN connections because I’m aware that I’m bad about keeping things up to date.

Nice, looking forward to the day when I can get one that runs 100% locally. Not sure if it would be cost effective to hire someone to come in my home to operate the thing vs. just hiring a maid service, though.

In my case at least, every other part of my kitchen has counters or cabinets, and there isn’t really an empty space on a wall to hang a tablet. The fridge would be a good place for a screen, except if it’s not built-in, there would be a wire. I can see someone with a different layout not following my logic, though.

True, although the actual big display on the Samsung fridge powered by the fridge itself showing various widgets is pretty nice. The fridge is also a good location for it, and you’d have to otherwise run a wire across your fridge to power your own tablet. The main problem is that your hardware and your data belong to Samsung after you buy it. Other problem is it seems to also be overpriced. 🤷‍♂️

One major problem I have with Copilot is it can’t seem to RTFM when building against an API, SDK, etc. Instead, it just makes shit up. If I have to go through line by line and fix everything, I might as well do it myself in the first place.

I wouldn’t mind one for playing Jellyfin videos while I’m cooking, having a dedicated screen for the Mealie recipe I’m currently making, looking at a digital family calendar, adding items to the grocery list, etc. A kitchen kiosk with a larger screen that is easy to clean and doesn’t need a login does have some practical uses for self-hosted apps, but…checks list…nope, ads to make some corpo’s number go up didn’t quite make it into my wishlist.

I stick with 1080p for my Jellyfin library because I can’t really tell much difference on my living room TV between upscaled 1080p and native 4k, at least not enough to merit the huge difference in file size. 4k games when sitting close to my computer monitor, on the other hand, are definitely worth it.

The article presents a couple of different perspectives: Gates’ comments and Hinton’s counterpoints at the end. Maybe the downvotes are assuming it’s only promoting Gates’ perspective because they didn’t read it?

Don’t worry, he will be saying the opposite after he dumps whatever stock he’s trying to pump.

Yeah, your ire is justified. Total ADD move to start reading, have a thought pop in your head, then post without at least scanning the rest of the article to make sure you’re not posting something stupid.
