Unity is reviewing its product portfolio and says layoffs are "likely"
It's all developer's faults. If they only accepted the fair new pricing policy without protesting, this decision could have been avoided /s

The Irony of 'You Wouldn't Download a Car' Making a Comeback in AI Debates
This process is akin to how humans learn by reading widely and absorbing styles and techniques, rather than memorizing and reproducing exact passages.
Many people quote this part saying that this is not the case and this is the main reason why the argument is not valid.
Let's take a step back and not put in discussion how current "AI" learns vs how human learn.
The key point for me here is that humans DO PAY (or at least are expected to...) to use and learn from copyrighted material. So if we're equating "AI" method of learning with humans', both should be subject to the the same rules and regulations. Meaning that "AI" should pay for using copyrighted material.

YSK that Vim has a built-in AI feature that can be enabled using :set ai

I think OP was ironic. The "set ai" command sets auto indentation. https://vimhelp.org/options.txt.html (Search the document for "autoindentation")

Joplin alternative needed
Did you know that you can use Joplin on a standard webdav server? Basically it just takes up the space of the data itself. I have it on a Caddy server and works like q charm synching between Windows and Android client

Thoughts on Bazzite for a desktop machine?
New Bazzite user here. Long story short I was looking to leave Windows and tried a few distros (Nobara,Kali, Endeavour...)
At the end of the day Bazzite is the one that works best out of the box.
My only issue was with Nvidia&Wayland: I got tons of crashes even on native games. Switched to X11 and works like a charm.
The negative point? It's not Arch :D

Use an old android phone to selfhost ?
Until one week ago I was using an old Samsung A20 with good results. I moved to a mini PC as I wanted to host Immich server and I felt it was too much for the phone (it might not be the case though...)
A quick extract from an old post of mine on what I was running: https://lemmy.world/comment/354199
Software: Termux (android app) SSH (OpenSSH in Termux) Rclone (in Termux) Sonarr, Radarr, Lidarr, Prowlarr (in proot-distro) Transmission (in proot-distro) Kavitha (in proot-distro) Podgrab (in proot-distro) Ombi (in proot-distro) ntfy (in proot-distro) Filebrowser (in proot-distro) Vaultwarden (in proot-distro) Homer with lighttpd (in proot-distro)
TLDR: Go for it! Use Termux with proot-distro to avoid headaches

Self hosting on an Android mobile?
Hello, that's perfectly possible, actually I was selfhosting on android until recently. You can find more info in this post: https://lemmy.world/post/5342541
Unless you need some heavyweight lifting and you're ok with installing directly the applications (no docker, sorry), that's a good portable homeserver.
My only suggestion: buy an ethernet adapter as the WiFi connectivity will drop sometimes.
Keep us posted!

Can you share the github link? I'm really eager to use it in one of my key projects where JS is a core component :D

[Haiku] Summertime vibes
HaikuOS, simply FANTASTIC! Out of curiosity are you using it as a daily driver? I've tried early beta (2010 or so) and it was super fast but not enough to use it every day...

The future of selfhosted services is going to be... Android?
Reply in thread
It is possible nowadays: I'm hosting quite a few services on an 5 years old Android. Just with Termux, no root required. Of course connectef it's just to the internal network due to all the security concerns mentioned in the post.
To solve all the bandwidth/connection issues, I've bought a usbc-ethernet dongle that works like a charm.
To mitigate battery issues I've limited the charging to 85%.
I would never host Jellyfin there, but with webdav and Kodi I can get my media served easily to all my devices at home

What is the best SNES emulation app for android?
Retroarch, hands down :) Any core will do fairly well, S22 is quite capable. I love the retro-achievements functionality, ir adds more depths to some games

If forced to choose one retro console forever what would you choose and why?
New 3DS XL. Great screen(s), great battery, great emulation capability and great native games.

Android Self hosting
Impressive! Can you please link the instructions you followed?
Some time ago I was hosting the full ARR suite, bitwarden, AdGuard etc, but it was usually a mess with direct installs. With docker it might be worth revisiting it.
My only advice, buy a usb-ETH dongle, it will make a huge difference in stability

Sustainable self-hosting services?
Reply in thread
No Docker unfortunately, it would require either to recompile the mobile Kernel or use QEMU and I believe it would have a big impact on the performances. Basically this time the approach was: what can I do with an old mobile without rooting or anything. Hardware:
Sofrware:
Since I wasn't able to install .NET Runtime in Termux directly, I used the proot-distro (Ubuntu) and inside I've installed all the services. Services are started manually every time I restart the proot-distro (unfortunately I'm getting an error when installing Termux:Boot), it's a simple script so I'm not dying over it. To keep the proot-distro alive I launch is with the screen command so I'm ensuring persistence even when the terminal is closed.
It's not a clean solution like docker etc. but I'm consuming 5 or 10Wh of energy every day which is close to nothing and probably sustainable with a solar panel.
Every once in a while (basically when the SD is almost full) I transfer the files with rclone to an external drive where I consolidate the files.
Oh extra tip, with rclone you can create a DLNA server so you can serve the files you have download immediately (tested with VNC and Kodi)
The phone/server has still room (CPU & RAM) to go and possibly I could install HomeAssistant without any issue. Also I could add Joplin and Floccus using webdav for storage as I had in my previous server but I don't miss them.
Any other questions, doubts, scripts, feel free to ask!

Sustainable self-hosting services?
I'm hosting al my services on an old Android mobile with termux. Power consumption is ridiculous, not 100% sustainable but it is very low power. You could add solar panels and you're done. In terms of performance, mainly for family use, I've never had an issue once I plugged it to an ethernet port.
