I used the nicholas-fedor Watchtower branch for a while.

I use Dockhand now (switched to it when Portainer accounced their enshittification), and that has auto-update built-in. So I no longer needed Watchtower.

I believe Arcane also has auto-update, since Dockhand has hinted at their own enshittification a few years from now...

My Plex is updated, and hiding behind a random-long-text-string wildcarded subdomain that (so far) has not been discovered.

My Crowdsec intercepted 5X the normal number of hacking attempts & port scans on October 17th... no doubt from dirtbags trying to exploit this.

Got a chuckle at this response, though....

I feel like you struggled with your phrasing. I'll help.

"Blockchain is a scam."

The majority of Reddit discourse on this is wild. The crowd there is going HARD to try and paint IA in the most negative light possible.

I know we don't like Reddit here, but for example: https://www.reddit.com/r/DataHoarder/comments/1g7w0rh/internet_archive_issues_continue_this_time_with/

It's almost as if the "hackers" and/or copyright holders are running that conversation.

The fact that the Russian government came out this fast and said they need a version with their own commits is, perhaps, telling.

Okay, cool...

So, how much longer before Nvidia stops slapping a "$500-600 RTX XX70" label on a $300 RTX XX60 product with each new generation?

The thinly-veiled 75-100% price increases aren't fun for those of us not constantly-touching-themselves over AI.

Actual pharmacist here, working in pharmacy IT.

Unlike other industries, Pharmacy is not particularly thrilled about or interested in AI. In fact, my hospital explicitly blocks access to all LLMs.

I was actually kind of hoping to see what Microsoft is claiming here, and just walked away from this post more confused.

I find it interesting that there appears to be a line (kids that grew up with a Nintendo DS) where people went from loving membrane buttons to hating membrane buttons.

To me, membrane buttons are an absolute Pro.

People are now conditioned to need INSTANT GRATIFICATION FOR EVERYTHING ALWAYS!

"I want a Steam Deck! I can't actually afford these new prices! I'm buying it anyways!"

Then retailers see the insane prices people pay for stuff without blinking. Steam Decks sell out after a 40% markup. RAM & SSDs & HDDs sell out at 4x what they sold for a year ago. So the prices never go back down.

And everyone goes full surprised-Pikachu-face when everything is now always goddamn expensive.

Show some fucking restraint for once, people!

Goddamn.

Unfortunately, on every launch, AMD looks at Nvidia's price gouging and says, "Yeah that pricing looks good for us, too."

Anything with an even mildly AI-adjacent topic is a solid 75% bots right now...

/r/nvidia, /r/amd, /r/hardware, etc, etc..

(I played the shit out of Zelda II.... and I liked it.)

1Gbps symmetrical speeds with unlimited data for $50/mo

God I wish I lived in the 2% or so of the geographic U.S. that had access to service like this. It's $116/mo here for Comcast's 1000/150Mbps service, capped at 1.2TB. Costs an extra $30 to remove that cap.

A lot of stuff ONLY has viable Q&A discussion there....

As much as I love the idea of Lemmy, try finding active communities here for: MAME or any other videogame emulation... Plex... The breed of your family dog/cat... Most any sort of non-Fedi-focused brand/podcast/personality...

Yes, I can create a new community. Then I just sit in it by myself, and occasionally deal with spam.

A year after consoles.

Rockstar knows how to get that double dip more than anyone else.

"Oh no, we're gonna get fined a hundred million for the extra couple-hundred-billion we made by price fixing & collusion. Oh nooooo... 💸"

Wait until they make all the money that was to be made on their game.

Then yoink all of that money.

I just don't connect my Hisense to the Internet, and let my Nvidia Shield TV do all the "Smart" stuff. 🤷‍♂️
