Have you considered the possibility that, if you have 2k bookmarks, this isn't necessarily a self-hosting issue, but rather a bookmark hoarding issue :)

If you're asking these questions, you're way ahead of the game and will be fine. Cats a pretty independent.

I think you're under the impression that you will make choices for your cats; in reality, they will make these choices (and more) and you will have to live with it as their human :) you'll find out whether they will allow you to use horse bedding, for example.

As kittens, just stick to cat food (no milk!). Generally wet food is considered healthier but perhaps more expensive. I feed my cats 2x/day out of canned wet food. You'll have to see what they like. Generally stinkier is better. Cat food has is fortified with nutrients they might struggle to get otherwise so if you want to feed them something else like chicken as the basis you will need to supplement it with specific cat multivitamins.

If they're indoor cats, a pair is generally a good idea so they have company. Also make sure you set aside 15 mins/day at least to play with and engage them. Generally I find my cats don't play with fancy toys, rather they like tampons, strings and cardboard boxes.

With the vet, again it's your call and you'll figure it out with experience. Every vet clinic is different. I would start with the most convenient one, so that you're incentivized to visit regularly. Your vet will give you a lot of information. Make sure to get vaccinations (edit: and spayed/neutered especially if allow them outside. Also I believe outdoor cats tend to kill a lot of birds/rodents unnecessarily so I think some cat owners put a bell on their cat collar but I don't know).

You'll probably want to keep them in a carrier in the car, unless you want them peeing in your car. It's also possible they get car sick.

Cats tend to love high places, so if that's something you can offer that's great. Otherwise they may hide for the first few days and just come out at night so it's fine to leave food out for them (edit: also if you choose to feed them kibble, make sure they have plenty of access to water as they can get dehydrated otherwise).

We probably both agree Trump is attempting a fascist takeover of the US political system. He would like nothing more than to be able to jail all his opponents.

However, I don't see what happened to Padila as indicative of that at all. A man was yelling something during a federal press conference. Security guards did what they're paid to so: handle disruptions by removing them. He wasn't arrested, he was let go afterwards and Noem and Padila exchanged phone numbers to continue a conversation.

Just because a few security guards may have been overly aggressive doesn't mean much, just like a few people looting or burning cars doesn't mean LA has lost control. Please try to maintain perspective in these difficult times, the level of distortion on both sides (instead of just the right) is getting out of hand.

Ah you must be the new hire at my firm, welcome!

I think the post is about the state of agentic coders in 10 years, not the present.

So I installed LineageOS recently. Now that I've transferred my passwords and account info I'm quite happy. What will happen from here? Will some apps stop working? If not, is there a problem with just continuing to use the phone as is until I need a new phone (security, eg)?

Thank you for taking one for the team.

I've been running Gemma3 4b locally on ollama and it's useful. I'm thinking about applications where a multimodal model could receive video or sensor feeds (like a security can, say).

Students are now prompting the AI to make it sound like a student wrote it, or putting it through an AI detector and changing the parts that are detected as being written by AI (adding typos or weird grammar, say). Even kids who write their own papers have to do the latter sometimes.

[–] danzabia@infosec.pub 2 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Then the student could just ask the AI to simulate a thesis defense and learn answers to the most likely questions.

The funny thing is, they would actually learn the material this way, through a kind of osmosis. I remember writing cheat sheets in college and finding I didn't need it by the end.

So there are potential use cases, but not if the university doesn't acknowledge it and continues asking for work that can be simply automated.

Perhaps some people can't afford it. I have the luxury of paying for weekly therapy but its probably one of my biggest line item expenses.

Yeah, it's like me never having alcohol before and walking into a frat party as a freshman. Sometimes it's better to come prepared.

 

I''m curious about the strong negative feelings towards AI and LLMs. While I don't defend them, I see their usefulness, especially in coding. Is the backlash due to media narratives about AI replacing software engineers? Or is it the theft of training material without attribution? I want to understand why this topic evokes such emotion and why discussions often focus on negativity rather than control, safety, or advancements.
