  Desktop situation fixed. I ordered a used custom prebuilt system that I am going to put some of my parts into (GPU, RAM, cooling, etc). I wanted a different case anyway and I have always preferred AMD over Intel/Nvidia. I figured if I'm already replacing the motherboard, I might as well go all the way. I will share pictures when I get it. The case is small (mini-ITX cube) made by SilverStone 🩷. Future upgrades, when I can, will be a better CPU (would love a 5800X3D), Noctua fans, and maybe...

  YouTuber Hank Green Is Facing a Fan Revolt Over His AI Use He says his loved ones don't think his LLM use has been "healthy." https://gizmodo.com/youtuber-hank-green-is-facing-a-fan-revolt-over-his-ai-use-2000793672 #NoAI #HankGreen

  Thinking about my principles and the compromises I am willing to or currently make, #NoAI is one of the most important to me, especially in my operating system. I also consider privacy, digital sovereignty, right to repair, and social justice. But the use of LLMs is non-negotiable for me. Debian is currently considering its stance on LLMs going forward. This is one thing that would affect my decision to use Debian going forward. I love Debian. I love the Debian Social Contract. Debian is truly...

  Good news! My desktop came on. I'm not really sure what happened. Maybe its still a PSU issue. I finally got around to start trouble shooting it and it powered up. I'll do more troubleshooting later, just happy to have it on. I had moved my nvme's out of the desktop into the laptop, so I now need to reinstall Debian, but that is ok. Because of the frequent distro hopping, I have gotten good at keeping backups of everything.

  PSU finally died. Not sure if I am going to try to replace the PSU (low funds) or just use the laptop in its place for the time being.

  At the doctor today I couldn't help complaining about Mango Mussolini. It came out like word vomit. The stress of everything right now (healthcare, costs, just surviving) is affecting every part of my life.

  I really appreciate Obtainium's ability to do backups. I am probably going to change my phone soon and that will so helpful. #Obtainium

  I have been wanting to do a new long playthrough of Crusader Kings 3. Luckily, a new dlc is in the works, so I might wait for that to launch. It looks like they're expanding the Pope stuff. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FvaZPzSI-qA #CrusaderKings3 #LinuxGaming

  Great. I think my PSU might be on its way out on my desktop.

  I'm this close to telling AT&T to go fuck themselves. They are so greedy and find every excuse to add fees. My bill has been running double what they quoted me. I should just buy a $20 burner phone and save up for a good privacy focused Android or Linux phone.

  I spent the morning setting up Homarr as my new homelab homepage. I really like the services integration. It is handy for quick stats and bookmarks to different services. Note: Technitium only shows disconnected because I am behind my VPN. #SelfHosted #Homelab #Homarr

  @970uts1d3@defcon.social Newell inherited significant wealth from his family before founding Valve. Valve takes a 30% cut while acting as a monopoly. I think the bar is so low that him just being friendly makes him seem like one of the good ones.

  @trashheap@tech.lgbt I hate it so much. Apparently Hank Green has been talking about using LLM's on Twitter, too. Don't meet your heroes.

  I wish sharing music online wasn't so shitty. It all seems to be a choice of sharing the least shitty instead of the better option.

  I watched Backrooms. It wasn't great, kind of below average for an A24 movie. Chiwetel Ejiofor is a great actor and he gave a good performance, but the rest of it was mediocre.

  My final review on Devuan: It is fine. It is just Debian without systemd. If I had strong feelings about systemd (which I might in the future), I would probably use it instead. The best part about it is it is still Debian. Functions pretty much the same. Works great, just different. The worst part is the community has a lot of conspiracy types who think Debian is too "woke." It makes interacting with the community difficult. #Devuan
