If they post a leaderboard this may just have the intended effect.

Network, make connections, know someone, get your foot in the door and prove yourself. Call anyone you know in your industry, talk to them and ask if they know of any opportunities. Use your voice to talk to humans over the telephone or in person instead of sending DMs or emails.

I'm still grumpy about Special Effects. Give me a real stunt driver and practical effects please! ...And real actors.

I'd bet this is a move to prevent their reviews from being used to train competing AI systems.

ChatGPT and other LLMs need access to tools for things like this just like you and I do. If you ask me how many seconds have elapsed since I started typing this, I would give you a convincing estimate. I would need a Casio watch to give you an exact answer.

What do you guys do with your poo? (lemmy.ml)
 

I've taken to storing it for craft projects. Recently I had the kids fill ornaments with the poo. It was great fun!

Recommend me a distro? (lemmy.ml)
 

I am considering moving away from Ubuntu, but I haven't tried other distributions for years. I started on Linux Mint Cinnamon back in 2012, but switched to Ubuntu when I built my current PC in 2020 because I wanted more up-to-date packages. Now I am faced with needing to replace my SSD which gives me reason enough to install a new distro. I have an AMD Ryzen 7 2700X with 32G of RAM and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060, so I would need something that plays nicely with nvidia. I routinely use libreoffice, digikam, gimp, virtualbox, bambu studio, sublime text, filezilla, thunderbird, minecraft, steam, Open WebUI and Stable Diffusion (Automatic1111). I liked Ubuntu because it was familiar, fairly easy to customize, and everything was kept fairly well up to date. I am not a big fan of snap, and I would prefer a more logical and unified package management system. I was wondering if you all had some recommendations for me. Thanks

The second dark age (lemmy.ml)
 

And thus began the second dark age. In the 21st century, the election of Donald Trump triggered a chain of events that ceased scientific progress globally. Environmental stewardship gave way to rampant consumption and dirty industry. Women once again became subjugated to property and lost all human rights. Logic and reason was forgotten and replaced with conspiracy theories and superstition. Over the next few centuries tribalism and the decay of modern society played out against the backdrop of now unstoppable climate change, which was largely attributed to superstitious causes by small groups of devolved humans living in filth amongst the ruins of a once great civilization.

Help me with a rotating firesafe data backup (lemmy.ml)
 

I have between 20-30 TB of data I want to keep a copy of in a firesafe. I do not want to use an online storage solution, I want to maintain my personal data at my home.

My current plan is to get (2) Mediasonic HFR2-SU3S2 PRORAID enclosures and (8) WD Red Pro NAS 16TB drives to fill them. The first would contain a full backup and be placed in the safe. The second would be attached to my machine and receive nightly backups. Periodically, I would rotate the enclosures, taking the one from the safe and swap it with the one connected to my machine.

Are there any problems with my plan that I am not thinking of? Are there better solutions?

Is anyone else keeping a rotating data backup in a safe? How is it working out for you?

I printed a Homer disappearing into the bushes sponge holder on my Ender 3 Pro. (lemmy.ml)
 

I downloaded a model but the Homer had several model flaws and the sponge base didn't fit my sponges so I designed my own. I basically kept only the spout.

I started with a PNG of Homer disappearing into the bushes. I cleaned it up a lot in gimp, then used adobe's PNG to SVG converter, which I'll say works very well. Brought that into inkscape and cleaned it up even more. Separated him into colors, pulled them into tinkercad at different heights, then printed him with 4 color changes.
