  • I have to say that I am getting pretty good at Linux. I use it on my gaming desktop, my 8 year old Lenovo, on a specialized workstation at work, and I have two servers running it. It’s approaching general utility.

    That said, I am being defeated by Broadcom wireless drivers on a HP Enterprise laptop. They aren’t just working, and the wireless soft switch isn’t just turning on. Until we can get to the point where the average user can just try a bunch of .deb (or whatever) files until they hit the jackpot, it isn’t going to be as easily adopted.



  • I work in judicial tech and have heard questions of using AI transcription tools. I didn’t believe AI should be used in this kind of high risk area. The ones asking if AI is a good fit for court transcripts can be forgiven because all they see is the hype, but if the ones responding greenlight a project like that there will be some incredibly embarrassing moments.

    My other concern is that the court would have to run the service locally. There are situations where a victim’s name or other information is redacted. That information should not be on an Open AI server and should not be regurgitated back out when the AI misbehaves.











  • Older geek here. I started with Plex and torrent. Added sonarr. Researched and switched to jellyfin. Learned about arr stack. Moved services to docker.

    It’s now super low maintenance. If I need to update a service, I just kill and recreate it. I have a second machine for media storage.

    I think I spent a weekend building the arrstack and I have a few days total working on the home made NAS.
