• I don’t care much for proxmox but that’s because I live in the terminal anyway and have a lot of experience administering Linux systems. So for me it’s just an extra layer of complexity, the benefits don’t really apply when my setup has IaC, most of my containers are in Podman rather than LXCs, my backups are automated with my own scripts and cronjobs, and I only run a couple of VMs. Also it makes encrypting the base system more difficult than it is with a standard distro

• I misread your comment and thought you said you do run docker, i get where youre coming from

• LLMs don’t teach themselves or gather new knowledge, they are incapable of that. Humans do that work

• Right it’s not that it’s a killer sentient machine, it’s that it’s a faulty statistical model that outputs incorrect stuff all the time and credulous morons believe it uncritically (or even automate a response based on that inherently inaccurate output).

• If you’ve got a 9th gen i5 the iGPU is going to be 50-100% faster than that GT710 for far less power, I’d swap to it either way

• They are in large part social clubs for the rich ruling class families to send their kids to in order to gain connections to other rich families. Which explains why they act this way and why the repercussions are so often minimal. There are other types of frats that aren’t exactly like that but this describes the bulk of them

• It’s interesting that fitbit did so poorly. I recently picked one up and it seems to track pretty well when I’m weightlifting. The numbers are close to what I was getting when calculating by hand prior to getting the tracker.

  on Your smartwatch is lying to you about how many calories you burned, Study finds in c/technology@lemmy.world · 2 Sep 2026

• Agreed, and same with scales. I dont trust the number on my bathroom scale 100%, but as long as it reads consistently so I can track patterns that is what matters, even if the number itself isn’t perfectly accurate. Same goes for calorie tracking via a nutrition app. The aggregate of all this information has a nice intersection that I can treat as a generally reliable idea of how I’m doing.

  on Your smartwatch is lying to you about how many calories you burned, Study finds in c/technology@lemmy.world · 2 Sep 2026

• 100% agree with you, for who I am and what I do I know that I need a device that is as tamper resistant as possible with the smallest attack surface feasible. That goes for remote execution as much as the evil maid scenario. But this is entirely catered to my threat model and risk tolerance. And sure there is the possibility of the rubber hose cryptanalysis but that doesn’t mean we should give up on securing as much as possible on the device side. It’s the swiss cheese model and we’re plugging a hole at a time lol

  I advocate for everybody to use as secure a device as practical, and for these mitigations to be the default, but I’m fundamentally speaking for myself in this thread with my stance on fairphone and /e/OS right now. I want to support repairability and ethical supply chains too without compromising on my more core tech needs

  on Android Central: Fairphone (Gen. 6+) with /e/OS in c/technology@lemmy.world · 2 Sep 2026

• I get the sense this is sarcastic lol. In my opinion though, privacy without security isn’t very useful. Yes I can avoid corporate or government spying when I’m in physical control of a device like this, but what if I get arrested on some false pretenses and they use cellebrite to gain access? Or the same at an airport when traveling? If you’re any form of political dissident, activist, or a member of a marginalized group, being targeted this way is a very real possibility. And as soon as that insecure but “private” device is out of your hands, all that data is free game for the govt.

• I want to love this but I can’t compromise my security for this device. If y’all ever add MTE and the other features required by Graphene I’ll be the first in line

• I have some GL. iNet routers and I like them a lot. Comes preinstalled with their flavor of OpenWRT but you can flash it to the standard image too. And they’re affordable (at least when I bought in last year they were)

  LLMs already tend to be the average predicted output for a given input; training on LLM data makes this worse and causes them to become less varied, less dynamic, more towards the mean generated by previous models, and more likely to spit out hallucinations
