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

I can do all sorts of DIY things around the house.

Drywall/plaster, I am terrible at. Much respect for those skilled in the trade. Their work on a ladder above their head beats what I can do at eye level over 2 days.

(The other thing I don’t touch is plumbing. Jeez, that water really wants to be outside of the pipes. Unlike drywall, the impact of bad plumbing is much more than an eyesore.)

This is a good tip, thanks. I have been approaching it with a "I'll build up a ton, then sand it back to what I need" which is probably one of the many ways I mess it up :)

Several attendees also complained about payment arrangements at food stalls inside the venue, saying food counters were accepting only cash and not digital payments

These food stall vendors are probably selling real deal delicious Indian street food. Cash only places are the best

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.

And here I thought, oh, maybe they head into civil engineering, law, chem, or bio and make a contribution to society there.

I think, all things considered, they handled this pretty well, and I'm actually more likely now to read an Ars article than before the article (when I had a neutral opinion).

The "us vs them" mentality that western media has pushed is backfiring.

In reality its not a competition but western media and government wanted to frame it like that, for 20+ years, and now, oh...looks like the west is losing.

...scrape by on minimal consumption. It’s a dark, sobering self-portrait of a generation...

Consumption != Happiness

The author channels a viewpoint of the government...if people can be happy and fulfilled without contributing to GDP, that's "dark, sobering." It's bad news for government planning but not necessarily bad for the people.

@skip0110@lemmy.zip avatar

If they need social systems to support them, I am all for that (its good regardless, and I'm not in China so I have very little voice for them/understanding of what is available)

But the article just presents the authors editorialized view, which is from a government planning perspective, not from the perspective of what is good for these young people (or what they think would benefit them). So I take with a grain of salt the authors judgement of their choices, satisfaction, or opinion of what is "right" for them.

@skip0110@lemmy.zip avatar

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.

Ars Technica makes up quotes from Matplotlib maintainer("An AI Agent Published a Hit Piece on Me"); pulls story ( infosec.exchange )

Hacker News. ...

Scott Shambaugh here. None of the quotes you attribute to me in the second half of the article are accurate, and do not exist at the source you link. It appears that they themselves are AI hallucinations. The irony here is fantastic.

I also used to get the chicken sandwiches (spicy, or asiago) pretty frequently. Like once or twice a month, but pretty consistently from like 2010-2019. The few times I've been since 2021, the price went up and the chicken cutlet (which used to be really thick, and real chicken breast, usually hot and juicy too) was thin, and full of mystery meat. And the price was higher. That sandwich used to fill me up, and now its just a few bites.

Well, I haven't been back. And I'm not going back, regardless of how many changes they make, because I discovered my local pizza shop has a nice chicken sandwich that's like $2 more but many times bigger and tastier.

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.

I expect this is true, but might change with the whims of the government or when leadership changes.

They are adding ads, so it seems that they feel like showing revenue from consumers is important at a certain level.

    Their revenue is growing.
    Their revenue only from Amazon sales to consumers is also growing (excluding things like AWS, streaming, and advertising).
    The proportion of sales to Prime members is growing (they stopped reporting Prime membership, but we can presume that it also growing, from this).

    The few people boycotting Amazon, maybe for short periods of time, isn’t enough. Every small step is helpful but we need much, much more.

    For my part I last used Amazon services in 2024. (personally, not counting AWS at work)

    Recently obtained a free circa-2017 mac mini which I installed Linux on, to create a docker hosting environment. Current have Jellyfin, SearXNG, and Forgejo.

    My much older NAS serves as the NFS drive for the Jellyfin media (formerly, I ran Plex directly on the NAS, but this was slow/unreliable as the NAS has only dual 1Ghz ARM cores).

    One of the drives in the NAS died Thursday night, but no serious issue as its RAID 1. I wonder if the new load on it pushed it over the edge. (Also, I wonder if I could use the mac minis SSD as a sort of cache in front of the NAS, to reduce wear on it, if that would even help...)

    Luckily I had some gift cards from recycling old tablets and phones, so I could get a replacement drive at minimal cost. I went with a cheap WD Blue drive instead of the 2.5x more expensive Seagate IronWolf drives I had used in the past. We will see how that fares over the next few years.

    Upon replacing the drive yesterday, I found the one that failed was a 2017 mfg date, so its life was 8 years (from when I initially populated the NAS). The other drive was replaced in 2021 (but it actually failed in 2020, I just left the NAS unused for a year at that time, so it had a life of 3 years). Some insight into the life span of the Iron Wolf drives.

    Things I'd like to add soon:

    • kiwix instance
    • normalize my ebook/magazine collection
    • setup to download my youtube subscriptions to Jellyfin's media directory so I can avoid the youtube app/website
    • something for music to ditch that subscription
