I run Silverblue on my work laptop. I haven't really used Distrobox, I just use podman because I'm more familiar with it - under the hood though I believe they're more or less the same though. But in either case, both work just fine on it.

Police and animal control officers used a crowbar to hit the snake on the head until it released its grip and slithered away before it could be captured.

I love the imagery this produces.

I specifically avoided saying they did because I wasn't knowledgeable on the topic. But I agree, I could equally be accused of being disingenuous by phrasing it in a way that could lead people to assume they use closed loops.

I did look those up, and while evaporation cooling isn't the only method used, it also doesn't evaporate all the water each pass, only a portion of it (granted "a portion" is all I found at a quick look, which isn't actually useful).

I do agree though, the water usage is excessive, and when though that water only "changes forms", it's still removes it from a water source and only some of it may make its way back in.

It's the first thing I thought of when the articles about the generative AI polluting itself started coming out.

Yeah the article is disingenuous at best. There are many things wrong with generative AI, but this is just a lousy approach.

If I make a PC, put in a water cooling loop, and use it to run an LLM - sure, water is circulating, but that water isn't just vanishing lol.

Yeah, the generative AI pollution feels alot like the whole steel thing - since the nuclear tests it's been impossible for new steel to not be slightly radioactive, which means if they need uncontaminated steel they get it from ships that sunk before those.

LUKS, or anything that relies on the server encrypting, is highly vulnerable (see schizo@forum.uncomfortable.business's response).

Your best bet would be encrypting client side before it arrives on the server using a solution like rclone, restic, borg, etc.

Such a cute photo. I've been trying to take more photos of my pupper. He's 13 now, and anytime I'm not sure if I'll ever be ready to lose him.

That's what I thought at first, but the person who wrote the article is named Simon, and based on the context given in the article I'm assuming that was a test unit he had on his desk, but the planned implementation is in bathrooms.

Considering it only detects if someone in the bathroom is vaping and not who, disciplinary action just isn't really possible with your typical school restroom.

Yup. Toyota Yaris '15 stock. Lowest trim they offer.
