on AI hallucination of Chinese nuclear components almost led to US military attack in c/technology@lemmy.world · 4d ago
This is the kind of existential dangers that AI poses. Not skynet, no rogue AI escaping, no AGI that decides another fate for us… it’s going to happen because of a stupid human mistake as we abandon our critical thinking abilities. One day we’re going to launch a nuke, or blow up something in the wrong country, not AI, us, blindly following the hallucinations of a billionaire’s toy.

I don’t play games anymore, but if I do, I’ll go back to my teenage ways 🏴☠️

on Portainer 3.0 is coming, and here's what it means for you — Portainer in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world · 13 Sep 2026
It’s personal preference. I grew up staring at green screens. I am at home pawing through config files, I like seeing things from the bottom up.
So, portainer was a nice easy button to ease my transition from VMs to containers, but just like VMWare, I started on the GUI, eventually moved to CLI.

Portainer was a great start into docker, but it’s so much easier and better to just use compose and cli. Lazydocker if you really want point and click.
I still have my old install running on my homebrew NAS, but all it’s doing is running plex and a Minecraft server. I need to rebuild, at which point it goes.
Sorry portainer, I appreciate the start, but I’ve got it from here…

on Dating Apps Are Dying in c/technology@lemmy.world · 13 Sep 2026
Agreed, this is pretty much what they were back when I used them. This was well before tinder or whatever the big one that disrupted the industry is/was.
Funny enough, despite me being extremely happily married for over 18 years now, I still cannot get my damned email off their spam lists. I’ve abandoned that address so I don’t much care, but they really don’t seem confident in their matches apparently :)

I met my wife on a dating app, but it was over 20 years ago now. I suspect that like everything they all have evolved to capture your eyeballs as much as possible. Back when I used them, they were about meeting people, they hadn’t yet gamified them with the swipes and so forth.
So, not surprised, a little sad to hear it even, since I can’t imagine being a young person and trying to meet new people these days. Then again, as an aspiring Luddite these days, I hope people find a way to connect in real life.

on LG smart TVs caught logging audio with screen off and snooping on local devices in c/technology@lemmy.world · 8 Sep 2026
I did say “should have just bought a stick instead”.

Because they are short and my ceilings are tall. We also cook a lot and with kids, smoke happens. So, the requirement from the wife was being able to silence remotely.

Yeah, I went with LG because I wanted to try an OLED, and the price was right. Never buying anything from them again, and whatever tv I do buy next I’ll disable all the shit from the get-go.
I’ve always been privacy minded, but things have gotten so bad, and I’ve gotten complacent. Hell, I just bought a connected smoke alarm system because my wife and kids needed something they can mute remotely. Should have just bought a stick instead.
I need to replace my WiFi, about time I get one with real VLAN support, so I can build an isolated guest/IoT network.

I thought I had disabled everything but mine was still connected to WiFi. Thanks for the reminder. I disconnected it and blocked it at the router.
Tired of doing this for so many devices. We truly live in a full on surveillance state.

on US to announce sharply lower vehicle fuel economy requirements in c/technology@lemmy.world · 3 Sep 2026
I actually replaced my suv with a full sized truck last year. Funny enough my average mileage went up from 17 to 28mpg. Hybrids rule.
(Yes, 28 is still shit, but much better and more useful shit than I had before).

on 80% of developers find AI coding more addictive than helpful in c/technology@lemmy.world · 22 Aug 2026
Well said.
Ultimately it’s a capitalism problem, it makes the value proposition drift towards addiction in every single case.

on My home server was a totally justified purchase in c/linuxmemes@lemmy.world · 20 Aug 2026
I mean, mine is a dumpster dive. It’s an old small form factor office pc. Tore out the guts and stuck them in a silver stone case with a SATA backplane and loaded it up with refurb hard drives.
Previous iteration was a broken g5 tower case I got for free, hacked with an old server motherboard that had been decommissioned at work.
So, definitely spent money on it with the additions, but all my home servers have started out with free spare parts.
Oh, I do of course run Debian.

on New AirPods leak reveals built-in cameras and Visual Intelligence in c/technology@lemmy.world · 20 Aug 2026
I’m already kicking myself for buying into them in the first place. Fuck cameras, I’m going back to wired headphones. My $20 IEMs sound better than my AirPod pros, without all the fancy over processing.

on Young people increasingly don't trust AI - or the billionaires that keep telling us we should all love AI, survey finds in c/technology@lemmy.world · 16 Aug 2026
I don’t know man, I’m a fairly old person and I’m constantly surrounded by people who seem unable to think without it.
It’s because we have the worst possible people to steward us though this transition that is being forced on us.
