No one mentioned Lorna Shore - Pain Remains, wtf? Especially the music video brings me to tears.

There is the aspect not many are talking here.

When previously people released software, there was no easy way to release patch. This means that the first release is the release most of people are going to use forever.

Nowadays you can very easily patch after release, which means that you can be quick to release, and fix later. This means that you can never install anything .0 version, because they are buggy as hell.

The problem is that it can only be speculated how they work, because they have not published it. That is quite suspicious in my book.

I personally would avoid reolink and use rtsp + frigate + ha, to have full control with known open source selfhosting solution.

I understand that people like the easy setup, but if you already do selfhosting, it isn’t that big jump.

Be careful with reolink, their P2P solution is pretty suspicious. No body really knows how it works and who it shares the data with.

You can disable those features, but it will stop reolink app from working.

They have never explained how the peer-2-peer network works, and it security and privacy is quite unknown.

Reolink is Chinese, which doesn’t really help these concerns.

Better to selfhost frigate and just rtsp cameras there.

I was working on a project that had 100 000 line oracle database PL/SQL procedure that ordered a work order from subcontractor. It was just one single function. That was called by classic asp + visual basic COM component.

Oh Lord, I get Vietnam flashbacks about it.

Tech illiterate media writing hype articles. Repeats yearly also with flying cars or vacuum tube trains.

Aww hell no, still getting nightmares on classic asp error handling.

Critical infrastructure (water/electricity/internet) are of course things were government needs to be atleast heavily involved and controlling. And predatorial industries like gambling should be controlled.

Three things that should always be ran by government: healthcare, education and prisons.

They must exist, and privately owned ones will always have wrong base incentive.

With prisons especially, it is not the interest of private to rehabilitate, but to get people in prison loop. It just cannot work. It is just easy to sell to people because people want prison to be punishment facility.

Dedup

Google is so shit nowadays, it’s main purpose is to sell you things, not to actually retrieve the things you ask.

Mainly you see this with coding related questions, they were much better 5 years ago. Now only way to get results is to ask LLM and hope it doesn’t hallusinate some library that doesn’t exist.

Part of the issue is that SEO got better and google stopped changing things to avoid SEO manipulation.

I must admit, my home rack server runs hyper-v, it is free and I have MSDN. Of course inside the hyper-v I run ten linux boxes.

Proxmox really didn’t exists before and I didn’t want to use VMware.

Next one I will do with proxmox.

Please dont judge me.

You mean C#, the Microsoft Java.

(Don’t kill me, I am actually fan)

Certainly!

“not good, not bad”

GPT-5 without “thinking” mode got the answer wrong.

GPT-5 with thinking answered:

Here are the 21 US states with the letter “R” in their name:

Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Delaware, Florida, Georgia, Maryland, Missouri, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Oregon, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia.

It wrote a script that verified it while doing the “thinking” (feeding the hallusinations back to the LLM)

Both can be true! (Being siblings and cousins at the same time, requires bit of inbreeding ofc)

Moving them just one is definitely not on purpose, that happens logically when you do as little lifting as possible (Open first, when opening second move it to cover first, repeat). On purpose would be them being totally random, that would have required more work.

Good luck trying to find industrial stuff that supports IPv6, hell most of it is still serial.

I have legit heard that serial is security mechanism because it cannot communicate long distance like ethernet.

Of course you can do IPv6 magic that hides IPv6 from the end device, but nobody understands how that magic works.
