The problem with a lot of these applications is deployment and backup.

A list of components users should care about.
1. Deployment with egress or lan only
2. Simple back up and restore of applications version/app data.
3. Fault tolerant system like ZFS
4. Making sure the app data is viewable/accessible independent of the app itself.

There's not a single open source system that abstracts the complexity to achieve those 4 points. In fact there are not many paid products that achieve those goals. Most I've seen are subscription based.

Many might say go native docker/kubernetes. I would argue those technologies are fine but too high of a learning curve and fundamentally don't have a solution for a simple GUI driven backup / restore.
>Then send a drone into the attic, fly it to the pole

I did some interior inspection with my Mini 2 in an area that was too small for me to crawl to.

I did get it to work, but it was a close thing. Air currents in tightly enclosed spaces do not play nicely with drone stability algorithms.

Also, if you have blown-in insulation, it will fly up and get stuck in your motors in a matter of seconds to minutes unless you can keep a ~6' standoff. FWIW.

Basically sounds similar to US cases over what an agency can enforce. The federal government tried to regulate without legislation, and the court decided they were much too broad with what they tried to ban with it.
This seems pedantic - I think it's well understood that "antisemitism" means anti-Jewishness despite the definition of the word Semite. Sometimes words from the same root have varying meanings, colloquially, which eventually come to be definitive differences. That's just language. It doesn't have anything to do with whether it is a "hate cliche" (not sure exactly what you mean by that).

Absolutely right. Copyright can be seen as a kind of nano-monopoly and is not truly capitalist. The rise in prices due to stagnation does not foster innovation. While capitalism has its merits, it does bring hardship to those less fortunate. It is essential to eradicate all forms of scarcity, thereby eliminating the necessity for an economy and finance, and subsequently, the need for politics.

Yes if you open the desktop client after 30 days its de-linked and you lose all new messages. And yes its bad design and very annoying, but understandable given their storage limitations. Have a look at the links I posted.

No problem.

It's also important to be aware that this is a snapshot in time. (2022 to be precise). What was true then won't be tomorrow due to an evolving battery landscape and grid energy mix.

We don't for example, see a lot of batteries made from recycled material today because the demand for batteries vastly outstrips the amount of recyclable material we have. That won't be true until both the market starts to saturate with batteries and the current crop of batteries starts to hit EOL (probably 10 maybe even 20 years).

I'm actually really impressed with where recycling is today, they are WAY further along than I expected. ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s2xrarUWVRQ )

I'd be curious how you rewrite the syntax to have the same features but less syntax choices. Especially if it was made in the same way, organic evolution over the years.

I suspect it might look different. Not better or worse, just.. different. Same core complaints.

Now what if it was written from scratch today? That would prob miss a lot of the warts you don't like. But it still represents a lot of complexity in all the features the language presents, so it wouldn't be Python - for sure.

Personally i love the syntax, but /shrug
Yeah there's a real problem brewing there, we've created bicycles that can go as fast as cars, but the folks riding them seem oblivious to that and think it's okay to blast down bike paths and sidewalks.

Using retrieval to look up a fact and then citing that fact in response to a query (with attribution) is absolutely within the capabilities of current LLMs.

LLMs "hallucinate" all the time when pulling data from their weights (because that's how that works, it's all just token generation). But if the correct data is placed within their context they are very capable of presenting the data in natural language.
What about a career change? Go back to school in something entirely different?

I've been coding since I was 8 years old, and professionally for a couple decades. Late 30s here and feeling pretty burnt out too, especially with the current market.

I think the bigger lesson here is that we're just as disposable as any other trained monkey, and the market is correcting itself for the overhyped advertising bubbles of the last few years, especially covid. There's nothing that special about what we do, and we were just temporarily overpaid in an era of irresponsible easy capital, with lots of detrimental social impacts. It was bound to crash at some point.

Still, there will always be companies chasing the latest fads on investor dollars, but if you're not the latest and greatest, they probably don't want you. I've been able to find reasonable employment in the long tail of "other" companies, ones who need mediocre low level dev work and pay livable wages (but nowhere near FANG level). Would you be happy in such an org, getting by without getting rich or really leaving a mark on anything in particular? Yes, you'd be just settling, but still better off than most of the 8 billion people on this planet. Is that enough?

If not, hell, if you have the savings... why not use this time to do a PROPER midlife crisis and reevaluate what you want out of your life? Who cares what algorithms you know and what percentile performance you eeked out of some service that's going to be forgotten in ten years? None of that matters. Your family won't care, your friends will come and go, most of these companies will either be gone or become boring monopolies. Instead of leetcode, maybe some soul searching?

The call is coming from inside the house, though. The problem here is largely one of perverse incentives. The fact that Microsoft and Google both offer web browsers AND benefit from spying on people USING web browsers means that I automatically distrust 100% of whatever they're trying to do with browsers and/or web standards.

I feel like the real solution here is simply to pop up a big scary warning whenever you try to install an extension that says: "Hey, this extension will be able to read and/or modify your internet traffic. It could steal your bank account information. Are you really sure you trust the developer of this thing that much?".

Or, you could make two tiers of extensions, where one tier is the "harmless" tier that can't actually do anything with requests and responses or modify the DOM, and the other is the "advanced" tier that displays the big scary warning above.

But, honestly, that should be about it. There are a few things we need to remember for some context, IMO:

* 99% (made up number) of web users don't install extensions, anyway. This is more true the less savvy the person is.
* A web browser isn't going to stop the user from downloading virus.exe or from installing SpyBrowserMaxx.app on their computers, so how much effort is really reasonable to try to prevent users from installing bad extensions?
* Hindering good extensions, like uBlockOrigin, actively HARMS the privacy and security of browser users.

Let's not be tricked into giving up our own ability to fight against tracking and spying for the mythical Grandma who installs browser extensions from sketchy side-channels (is that even possible anymore in either Chrome or Firefox?).

Humans, when probed, don't have a robust epistemology either.

Our knowledge(and reality) is grounded in heuristics we reify into natural order and it's easy for us to forget that our conclusions exist as a veneer on our perceptions. Nearly every bit of knowledge we hold has an opposite twin that we hold as well. We favor completeness over consistency.

When pressed, humans tend to justify their heuristics rather than reexamine them because our minds have a clarity bias - ie: we would rather feel like things are clear even if they are wrong. Often times we can't go back and test if they are wrong which biases epistemological justifications even more.

So no, our rationality, the vast proportion of times is used to rationalize rather than conclude.

From a hardware point of view, this system is unlikely to exist, because you need a system with components that never have any reliability issues ever to have a totally deterministic system.

From a software point of view, this system is unlikely to exist as it doesn't matter that the cause of your downtime is "something else that isn't our system". As a result, you're gonna end up requiring infinite reliable storage to upkeep your promises.

I really miss PhotoLife and Everpix. The concepts were great (ingest all your photos from phone/upload/FB/etc) and the price was good (too good as it turned out). I have my PhotoLife archive on SmugMug after they somehow took over but SmugMug isn't great.

I'm fine self-hosting but I would really like the software in question to handle backups by itself. Sonarr/Radarr/etc all have an amazing backup/restore system that I have found really solid. Obviously Immich's DB is bigger and I do stop all my dockers and backup their config folder nightly so I have that as a backup but still.

Lastly I would love some kind of persist/backup to S3 (or R2?) option. Doubly so for the DB. If my house burns down I'd want to be able to get back up and running easily.

Edit 2: you're right, I read the parent comment backwards. They're saying that people using open source code have no right to place demands on contributors. This is a teachable moment for me, so I'll leave my thought process below, even though it doesn't apply now.

--

If I follow your logic, then you're saying that there's no economic incentive to work on open source software, since it's not compensated financially. Which seems to create a paradox:

A) Capitalism doesn't apply to open source software because there's no exchange of capital for labor

B) Capitalism applies to open source software because it generates billions of dollars of revenue for people and corporations

It sounds like the only rational act under capitalism is to not work on open source software, since the work is not compensated.

Meaning that any solution we come up with will act outside of capitalism.

Can you present a solution that works within capitalism to fund open source software?

Edit: I forgot to mention that the primary power of organized labor is to withhold labor until compensated. For open source, that might look like deciding as programmers to withhold all of our contributions until we solve this. Since we won't do that, we're all scabs supporting the status quo.

Synology is .. ok. They have working photo app and meh albums. But they keep pushing to make an account and log in into the cloud (since about 2 years I think), so their trajectory is not great.

I think points you rise are not that hard to solve with OS stack, to me the difficult part is the ease of sharing photos with others. People like familiar interfaces, adding photos to their own albums etc. Their experience of viewing your photos will never be that great, even when you have a decent uplink.

Yeah, but prices won't stay the same until 2025-01-01, when they'll all drop by 40% at once. It's linear, and they're dropping faster than expected.
Well, shit. Guess not all the kids are at school then.
While caring about what the rest of the world is certainly what Americans do best (j/k), another take would be that this isn't a free market, and there is no reason for it not to be. If 6% is what the market determined to be optimal then fine, but all signs suggest a truly free market would push the rate down a few points.
Presumably "World of <X>", e.g. World of Warships, World of Tanks... not sure if there are others.
I believe your analogy with computers is incorrect. Prices are dropping not because of rabid competition that tries and succeeds in one-upping each other with better cheaper tech.

No, instead demand is rapidly drying up, because suddenly people realize most EVs are vastly, vastly inferior to what they were supposed to replace. The only EVs that make sense are small ones, small battery, for urban transport without the emissions, so you can keep the city air clean.

From that point on, the bigger you get, the worse it gets. Notice that although Tesla has sold several million sedan/compacts and... uhmm "SUVs" (really: just slightly bigger Model 3s), they keep postponing the CyberTruck and Semi. They've only made 90 Semis and avoiding mass production. CyberTruck also won't be in mass production for at least a year more as they test the market (expect several thousand sold).

That's because no amount of hype can hide the facts for too long. These cars are expensive to buy, but way more expensive to own. Insurance is shooting up to the sky as they have to write off entire cars over minor damage because they dented the battery and this sh*t can't be fixed.

EVs will also be increasingly a liability when parked tightly below residential buildings, malls, ferries and so on. If it catches fire, the whole parking lot is done.

The EV bubble is popping before your eyes. The future is not electric. The future is hybrid and I mean this in multiple ways. Diesel trucks, gas pickup trucks, hybrid family cars, and small electric urban cars and electric scooters.
