You also don’t buy a painting for the frame, but it sure helps.

Box art was also awesome. Now they can just shit on the box and people will still pay $2k for a new gpu.

I just feel that on Linux if you stay too long on software after a newer, shinier tool is available - you quickly get left behind. And it’s not like Wayland is some alpha software from an obscure dev. I’ve been daily driving it for years on my work/fun laptop with very few issues. And it did solve a few problems for me mostly to do with multi monitor setup.

I’m not defending Nvidia, but my Nvidia laptop works prefectly fine with Wayland. And then I wanted to play games so I bought an egpu enclosure and put 1080ti in there and it worked prefectly fine OOB. Then I wanted to upgrade so I put 7900xtx in there and no driver, version, config or voodoo allowed me to use it.

Not to mention VERY limited compatibility with ML libraries.

I’m using Nvidia with Wayland without any issues. What’s the problem exactly?

No, but I thought I clarified that when I said it’s basically wireguard VPN which operates using tcp/udp (layer 3.) layer 7 is stuff like https. CF tunnels are lower level.

Page you linked is missing the layer between CF and source server so it doesn’t indicate layer. You can lookup wireguard protocol if you want more details.

CF tunnels are layer 3, not 7 and they have support for web sockets. It’s basically wireguard VPN with a few extras built on top.

The power supplies feeding these are typically .5A at 5v so they can’t draw more than ~2.5w. Is that really enough to generate sufficient heat to start a fire? Maybe if they are wrapped around something incredibly flammable?

Public registration has nothing to do with federation. My instance required admin approval for all new registrations. Illegal content is much more likely to come through federation than from inside.

IMHO, the few reasons to host your own instance largely disappeared with 0.19 and the risks were never worth the rewards to run a tiny instance. Things are likely to continue improving with future releases. Which is why sdf.org became my main.

Your biggest fear should be something like the CSAM attack from a few months ago. I doubt you have tens of thousands to spend on a lawyer.

That’s why I killed my instance.

On one hand I hate that legit users are punished for the actions of few cunts selling massive plex libraries and using Hetzner because of cheap storage and unlimited transfer, but I sort of understand that plex doesn’t want to be associated with piracy (lol).

On the other, fuck Plex. Seems trivial to detect these massive libraries with hundreds of “friends” and just shut those down. Seems insane to block a whole fucking provider over this. I’ve been a paid subscriber since day one and then bought a lifetime pass, but this dumb move is making me consider other products.

But on third hand, I don’t really care because I use tailscale so I almost never use the plex’s proxy anyway.

Interesting. I guess I’ve only ever used driving directions offline.

In their defense, Google does clearly say this on their website:

Tip: Transit, bicycling, or walking directions are unavailable offline. In your offline driving directions, you can’t get traffic info, alternate routes, or lane guidance.

Not sure what you mean by plan routes but you can definitely find destinations in downloaded maps and navigate to them offline.

I’ve been spoiled by free roaming with T-mobile so I just use Google maps everywhere. It also let’s you download areas where you expect to travel in case there’s no reception.

I haven’t tried their app, but my car, unfortunately, has TT built in. Still looks and works as bad as it did 15 years ago on my Windows phone. I accidentally started it once when I didn’t notice that my phone didn’t connect via Android Auto. I’d rather Mitsubishi just included nothing when negotiations with Google failed.
