  • It's almost always 7. I'm a chonky boi, and I like the number 7.

  • Once in a while...

  • Well, it just happened.

  • Managed to connect and login on a RaspberryPi over a null-modem from my Psion 5mx.

  • I see it's an Ericsson-branded Psion, the first to carry the Symbian logo!

    Pretty dope, need to try that myself some day. But first I'd like to setup URAN-1 SDR to spawn a DIY 2G cell tower 👀

  • I simply wonder at this point what sinister kind of delirium awaits us when the AI hype is over.

    It's not the AI itself driving me crazy, LLMs are actually pretty good at some tasks (I do translate my own blog posts from time to time, and it's much better at preserving nuances). It's the tech industry hopping onto another bandwagon in attempt to squeeze all possible money from what had brought success to someone else. It's circlejerk, a VC cargo cult where they cluelessly ape one another hoping that doing the same thing will get them rewarded.

    Remember early 2010's? Facebook took off, and then Google started sprinkling every damn thing they make with Google+ that no one actually needed since there was already Facebook. Took them 5 years to realize it was an utter failure and several years more to phase this nonsense out.

    Remember late 2010s? Suddenly Snapchat takes off, and now Facebook is in chasing position. So they ape it with Instagram stories, and guess what? Now even your banking app displays stories. A feature so out of place that no one ever asked for, yet here we are.

    Remember early 2020s? Suddenly Tiktok takes off, and guess what? Correct, Meta apes it immediately, and everybody else follows. I can go on for hours, but to sum it up: VCs will keep throwing money at whatever brought somebody insane revenue once, hoping for fat ROI. It's never guaranteed though.

  • Every single time I think of restructuring my homelab storage. What do you use for storage engines and how does it benefit you?

    Jump

  • Well, this path seems to be the most appropriate for what I am for.

    And more to that, both mergerfs and snapraid are available out of the box in the latest stable Debian release.

    Thanks for pointing me at it!

  • To me this really looks like Bengal & Tabby mix. I don't know for sure though.

  • Microsoft hopes Mico succeeds where Clippy failed as tech companies warily imbue AI with personality

    Jump

  • Clippy made sense, was very likeable, and I enjoyed interacting with it as a child.

    This featureless blob I find rather disgusting. A pure depiction of an era we live in, where the market thinks it's good enough to spew out "something" to cater the customers, and have the audacity to ask hard earned money for it.

  • Gadgetbridge allows automatic SQLite database export to the location you specify.Navigate to Settings -> Automations -> Auto export database, and from there you can configure the details.You can put it into a shared Syncthing folder, or something alike, or process it with Termux + Tasker. Personally, I hesitate to send megabytes of data over the wire every couple of minutes, so I rigged up a script that extracts the required metrics (for now its my steps only, the rest does not seem to be accurate) and sends a payload to my queue, where a consumer script later adds it to the DB.

  • PlanetComputers Gemini is a pretty close modern day replica made by the same engineers who put their experience into creating the Psion 5.Quite pricey for a somewhat limited by today's standards smartphone if you ask me, but still available on Ebay.https://www.ebay.de/itm/336168116080 for example.And yes, it can run Ubuntu.
