I also run this way. NFS4 mount for the media Dir. Cache Dir on the local SSD. No problems streaming 2-3 devices. NAS is happy to serve other files at the same time.

Docker host is nothing special, old Mac mini running Ubuntu.

Already flagged on HN. Maybe there is an innocent explanation, but I kinda think they try to suppress anything not pro-AI

Its not a Python oddity, its just IEEE 754.

In a corporate world of vague problems, shifting goals, limited time…sometimes it’s nice to be unencumbered by all that and just fly into shiny things repeatedly:)

That’s why I pick these impossible/pointless personal projects. I just want to have fun writing code.

I have consistently been trying to use AI for the actual tasks I need to complete for work over the last year or so (we are gently encouraged to try it, but thankfully not forced). I have found it to be “successful” at maybe 1 in 10 tasks I give it. Even when successful, the code quality is so low I edit heavily before it’s pushed and attributed to me.

I think the problem I have is I rarely work on boilerplate stuff.

This seems similar to my experience trying to suss out actual requirements from various incompetent/incoherent PMs. Gibberish in, software out.

LibreOffice UI hasn’t changed in years and I love it, my muscle memory is retained.

Also while ribbon style UI might be visually pleasing and initially approachable, I find simple toolbars with icons in a line are actually easier to scan and navigate. Whereas a ribbon typically has dividers and buttons of varying sizes making them easy to miss.

The company now offers affected users two years of free three-bureau credit monitoring and identity restoration services through Equifax, which require enrollment by June 30, 2026.

Aka…sorry for this breach, as a consolation, please give your personal information to this other company that will also “misplace” it…

Black is white. Up is down. The US government is making a freedom portal.

But….if someone sold a manually operated plastic extruder, that’s fine?

And if someone separately sold CAM software that’s fine too?

Just sayin’

I could not get to it on wayback machine, but this works

Why are utilities privatized?

Our energy provider increased our rates, then reported record breaking profits the next year. :(

(US)

Now I can code in peace while simulated AI usage quietly empties a lake somewhere…

Yes, and not only is this project very generically named, searching for what I was looking to do was difficult because of the wide range of options in terms of what a home dashboard should be…

Many people want home automation integration, I don’t have any (centralized) home automation

Many projects with UI designed for smallish touch screens (e.g. wall mounted info panels, where you need to tap to see info)

Many projects want a full fledged grafana type install, overkill for me/my tiny homelab

I was aiming for something more akin to those hotel lobby TVs which show useful local info and news on a fixed refresh cycle. This was also common on cable TV years ago: some channels would just show weather and news headlines 24/7 on a fixed cycle with music.

Its the “service economy.” Instead of making things, industry (in the US at least) is heavily skewed towards providing services (aka things you subscribe to or need to buy each time you use).

It does not benefit the individual.

That poor guy, the ai is just ganging up on him

Well, in that case maybe you just forget to shut the door ;)

Hmmm…so it costs Waymo $11.25 if you “forget” to shut the door.

Maybe people will become very forgetful.

Or, upon reflection, just don’t use Waymo, and don’t play into it at all.

There were decent (at least, worked for me) NTFS drivers for Linux like 20 years ago. (Back when I felt the need to dual boot)
