My even older laptop ran like this for many years and the battery never swelled. It couldn’t hold a proper charge, but I always saw it as cheap surge and microblackout protection.

It’s great to see such an article in The Verge, of course. Unreservedly.

But such articles are legion, and Thinkpads are (almost) always good with Linux. But you can install it on almost any laptop out there.

The problem with old.reddit is that it had this Damocles sword hanging over it for almost a decade - it could stop working any day. Plus, many subs don’t even cater to old.reddit anymore. It doesn’t just magically take over sidebar blurbs, this has to be done manually by mods. Etc. etc.

Well, thankfully we’re all here now.

You seem to be criticizing this yet you are exaggerating the situation in a manner that seems to be praising it.

Honestly I have no idea what you’re on about. But this

Open Source have to change.

sounds a bit too opinionated to me, with nothing to back it up. In other words: utter BS.

I am a maintainer of awesome-selfhosted.

Kudos to you then. That list has been my go-to many times.

The blogger hosts awesome-mcp-servers which does not seem to have anything in common with the poopular awesome-selfhosted series except the name.

Not sure where the connection is (the above blurb is not part of the article text). Is it @vegetaaaaaaa@lemmy.world themselves?

And just to clarify:

MCP is an open protocol that enables AI models to securely interact with local and remote resources through standardized server implementations. This list focuses on production-ready and experimental MCP servers that extend AI capabilities through file access, database connections, API integrations, and other contextual services.

You’re probably exaggerating sarcastically?

So instead of screaming bullshit ads you get pics of a confectionary classic?

AI agents are remarkably bad at “self-awareness”

🤔 what does it say when you tell it something like “look, this is wrong, and this is why, can you please fix that”? In a general sense, not going into technical aspects like what OOP is describing.

int personality = sizeof(goals);

Feels a bit simplified to me.

A code dress with dress code.

I get it, esp. in a professional environment.

But “Schrödinger’s data” rubs me the wrong way. The point OOP’s making is not a question of whether the data is there or not, it’s a question of whether you can restore a botched system with a few commands and in a realistic amount of time.

Case in point: I (private person, private system) never needed to fully restore, knock on wood. But the data is there - I have (manually) restored single files or directories on a few occasions.

Yeah we’re going to see much more of this moving forward. Yesterday i installed Linux for a friend and they asked about fixing problems. I told them to always look at the date & compatibility when they search for solutions. They then volunteered: “and I guess I can always ask ChatGPT, it’s pretty good with these things”. I grunted non-committally.

Aah, I did not consider Netflix & Spotify. yeah that makes sense. I never paid for those either. But of course you can only self-host media if you first get it from somewhere*.

I do wonder who takes money separately/only for calendar hosting.

But yeah, all in all that amounts to a lot, and considering you can have a VPS with decent storage for under €10/mo. - it’s really the best solution.

That’s interesting. Can you elaborate?

I was going to think up something more elaborate, but this is enough.

I’m also a bit of an electronics hoarder recycler, which probably got me into Linux in the first place. And Linux proved me right: old hardware is still good. My first server was a 32 bit laptop.

I also work in the social sector btw.

Bool me once, shame on thee. Bool me twice, shame on me.
