Metroid prime pinball was incredible, especially with the use of the rumble pack. Underrated accessory for the DS.

Yeah, no shit, you’re the fucking CEO

From my understanding, the impetus was that F5 submitted a CVE for a vulnerability, for an optional, “beta” feature that can be enabled. Dounin did not think a CVE should be submitted, since he did not considered it to be “production” feature.

That said, the vulnerability is in shipping code, regardless of whether it is optional or not, so per industry coding practices, it should either be patched or removed entirely in order to resolve the issue.

As a casual gamer, I can’t say this game even remotely reached the zeitgeist in 2024.

This seems like the best possible use case, presuming both the actor’s estate and the new voice actor will get paid. You have the benefit of a human actor driving the cadence and emotion, then overlay with the transformation so unknowing players aren’t taken out of immersion by a sudden switch in a character’s tone and demeanor.

One frustration I have with Community listings has been that the list of “active” users includes bots, and posts with zero comments. I’m having a lot of trouble finding communities in instances that actually have active discussion, particularly with higher counts of unique users contributing content.

TrueNAS has an OpenVPN plugin available, which is typically the recommended option.

You are trying to solve two different, but related problems, and there are discrete solutions for both.

One is a personal cloud. You need a secure place to store your shit from multiple users and devices, from multiple networks. You’ll need a mostly static IP and dyndns or your own domain, and certificates signed by a public CA/letsencrypt.

Then, you are looking for a backup application that supports rsync or sftp/scp over ssh or vpn, that is also cross compatible (Android and PC/Linux). Point this to the service above, and you are good to go.

This.

At some point, you need to be able to quantify the risk to your business before you can do this.

For instance, if your business earns $10 per transaction, and you perform 100 transactions per second, the difference between five and six nines (313 seconds vs 31 seconds) is $282,000; nowhere near enough to justify the added investment.

Edit: Important to note that for the first example, these are already enormously huge numbers. Such a business, assuming no holidays or weekends, would be grossing $31.5 billion per year, in the same ballpark as Oracle and Coca Cola.

So when we say the company is losing 282,000, this is a tiny, tiny fraction of revenue. Even 99.5%, which is almost two days of downtime, would “only” be a loss of 0.5% of all revenue for the year. Sure, this is $157M, but even that would probably not cover the cost of a six nines infrastructure (that said, they could save up to $120M per year by achieving 99.9%, which would be worth exploring).

I’m not sure this is true. They could be trained based on published works prior to a certain date as the formal writing style, eg Project Gutenberg, then layer on the recent internet to better capture modern stylistic trends.

Ultimately, the models will always require fine tuning, and selecting which data set you use for early training has a very large impact on the overall performance of the model. Additional knowledge and trendiness can be learned after the fact.

Likely need to define some basic rbac controls. They signed up, sure, but don’t receive a “user” role until after approval. Then in the home page, when signed in with no roles assigned, they get a banner saying they’re still pending approval and will not be able to post or comment.

The major concern will be retroactively applying user roles to the existing users.
