Start with a problem. What you trying to solve. Hosting music is different from backing up your computer. That is different from a home dashboard.

Because I have no idea if the questioner is going to do that beforehand

problem is a phone only works if you have it on you. Grandma falling often is a case where she doesn’t have a phone (often grandma in this case is in mental decline and wouldn’t think to use the phone if she had it).

A privacy respecting device that can hear “help” and general cries/grunts to get help when needed is what the world really needs. This is much more complex than the ask, but it is the real need here. For me what the OP was asking is enough, I just need to inform a kid in a different room dinner is ready.

Fortunately, you don’t have to evaluate everything yourself. There are other people to do things to when they talk. I reevalued AI and started using it because back in December someone I trusted said hey you should try it it works great. I had previously tried it a year ago and it didn’t work but when someone I trusted said try it again I tried the new models and suddenly they were working and so now I say AI is good. Don’t confuse good with perfect. There are certainly a lot of things AI does poorly. However, it is very helpful in doing complex tasks that I could do, but would just be too tedious.

When things are new it is often quick for a bit. Then it slows down. My prediction (which has been wrong before!) is that AI has reached the peak of the change.

However you should ALWAYS be ready and willing to change your opinion on anything when new evidence comes in.

That was 2025. This year he has stated that there get many AI reports per day and nearly all are real issues. Things have changed a lot in the past few months.

Though CURL didn’t restart their bug bounty program so there is no inventive to submit slop anymore.

A local hackerspace will probably take pity on you and find someone to do this for you.

You can get just enough energy for a science fair demonstration. Which scaled up to a data center size is a lot of energy. What the science fair misses is how much energy goes into making the system - You can generate what looks like a lot of power until you realize that the generators and such needed more energy to make than you will get back.

Doesn’t your college have a good jobs program? Part of the job of a good college is to have some program to help graduates get a job. You should find out and reach out. If your college doesn’t, that’s a sign that they’re a bad college, and I’m sorry you picked the wrong college… Make sure you review your college in this case and point out that they’re lacking good help.

That’s it. Unfortunately right now the economy is not in the best shape and so it will be hard for you and all I can say is best of luck. (well, beyond what others already mentioned, there’s other good advice. Read it all, don’t give up)

When IPv6 was first created, the dream was that your machine would get a new IP address any time the whole network felt some need for that. The idea was, as someone added a network, we may need to change the way your systems are numbered in order to make the backbone routing a lot easier to fit in memory. This hasn’t seemed to work out, but that was the dream.

I assume your ZFS system has plenty of redundancy. Thus, I would enable snapshots and do a regular rotation because ZFS snapshots are so easy to recover from for most disasters. What that leaves is the catastrophic losses from, say, your house burning down. So you still need something off-site, but the ZFS will cover most of your backup needs.

Most of my code is ai generated - but I have to carefully review everything because it ofte makes poor decisions.

I did the monthly arch upgrade and had to reboot to get some service to come up. Took an extra 5 minutes this month.

It might be but it is risky - if anything goes wrong there goes that data.

The problem is people don’t want a focused community. They want a broad community so when they have a question they can ask and find an expert - but not so broad that the noise means they can’t follow anything. We do focused communities because the world (or even internet) has too many people and so the noise of all the discussions is too much. However that isn’t what we want.

I bought a used EV, and the loan is massive and more than I can afford (but I didn’t have a choice - my area is car dependent and I go many places too far for my bike)

Claude is very good when driven by someone who knows how to do the job and demands perfection. However if you give it a prompt and take the first result it is normally junk, make it iterate and things get better.

If one dimmable color (or color change to red on dim) is not enough then you need room lights and spicial effects lights as separate things.

N100. Cheap enough (last year) and plenty of power to run things like jellyfin on it as well. linuxserver makes great docker images.

The kernel doesn’t deal with DNS, that is a separate process/library
