Not worries. Meant every word. Plus I got to make an H2G2 reference. Everybody wins.

Is this merely switching from Lemmy to something else, or are you leaving the fediverse completely?

If it’s the latter, then I wish you the very best of luck. I don’t know you very well, but I remember you having had some personal issues in the past. Hopefully those aren’t coming back and you’ve just decided to simply move on. Regardless, your memes and shitposting will be missed.

Good luck to you! Or, as a wise man once wrote, “So long, and thanks for all the fish!”

To be fair, proper anal can be as much a science as it is a fine art. 😁

No. We need this right now.

Jokes on you. I spend my free time as a means of getting to bed time.

Practice makes perfect.

[–] dohpaz42@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago

I get it. As much as I love autocomplete, it’s not perfect. I like the LLM, but I’ve never used (nor do I plan to) an AI service.

Though I’ve been toying with the idea of creating my own local LLM. Maybe that would be better than Copilot or those other public services. 🤷‍♂️

With a username like that, I’d highly recommend staying away from buildings with windows that extend beyond the first floor.

Hi everybody! I have been given the honor of being made a mod of this community, and I wanted to introduce myself to you all as such.

I have never actually moderated a community before, so I will no doubt make mistakes. I promise you that I make every attempt to learn from my mistakes.

Ok, here’s a hot take. I’m avidly against generative AI. But I’m not against using LLMs to help assist with coding. Jetbrains offers a free LLM (they have a separate paid AI service too) to help with code completion, and it’s fairly good for repetitive stuff. It’s also hosted locally on your machine and not a cloud service.

That said, if people want to write boilerplate/template code with AI, fine. But it must be edited, tweaked, and reviewed by a human. This is no different than blindly copying and pasting from places like StackOverflow. You need to know and understand what’s being presented to you so you can know and understand what it’s going to do in your application.

Edit: forgot to lament that writing code is not the time-consuming part. It’s the editing, tweaking, and reviewing process that is. But what do I know? I’ve only been doing this for ~20 years professionally. 🤷‍♂️

Fight fire with fire… and brimstone. Lots of brimstone. 😈

 

Surely the Founders can understand, right?

Edit: title

 

In older versions of Debian I used to be able to pass sec=ntlm,vers=1.0 as options to mount.cifs (and fstab) and it would allow me to mount my shared disk from my AirPort Extreme.

In Bookworm, due to the bundled kernel version, I am now told ntlm is a bad security option. If I try to use ntlmssp, I am told Unable to select appropriate authentication method!. If I use ntlmv2 or remove the sec option, I get Status code returned 0xc000006d NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE.

Funny thing is, if I use smbclient, I can browse my shared drive just fine.

Using a newer version of Samba protocol is not an option since Apple gave up on their products just like Linux gave up on ntlm.

Aside of throwing everything out the window, what can I do to get this working on Bookworm?

Edit: I gave up. Because the maintainers of the kernel decided to remove ntlm support, the only option I had was to downgrade to buster, as it was the last distro to use a pre-6 kernel. Suffice it to say, I'm very disappointed; both in Apple for abandoning their Airport's to use SMBv1, and the kernel devs for further eroding Airport support by removing ntlm. Yes, I get ntlm "bad" (both from an FOSS and security standpoint), but it's still disappointing to be punished simply because I do not wish to litter the landfill with still useful hardware (nor do I wish to spend more money on something I shouldn't need). Anyway, /rant over.

 

I’m watching S7E20 right now and the entire scene before the Defiant undocked from DS9 had that cinematic vibe you only get from a bonafide Hollywood movie.

 

And if that is too vague, here is some more context:

~I have a sneaking suspicion someone will still figure it out.~

 

I am using an Ender 3 Pro v2, and I have followed multiple guides (they all say the same things) for setting up a print to prevent stringing. I’ve also switched between two filaments (Creality and Amolen) and the stringing doesn’t change at all. I have noticed that when heating up the horned, the filament just oozes out like ectoplasm even before the print starts.

I have never had this problem before, and could use some human advice.

I have upgraded/replaced the following parts in the past:

  1. Bowden Tubes
  2. Printer Nozzles
  3. Dual Gear Extruder
  4. Heater Block
  5. Heater Cartridge
  6. Thermistor Temp Sensor

My Tweaked Settings:

 

I have cut my teeth on the Ender 3 Pro v2 printer by Creality. Neat little printer; it works wonders when/if it’s perfectly dialed in. The thing is, I don’t have the interest to dial it in like it needs to be. I just want to turn it on, send it a print, and walk away. I do t want to spend all morning (like this morning) trying to “auto-level” 🙄 the bed, just to not have it be level.

When I try to manually level the bed it’s worse: I can measure one corner 5 times in a row, and get 5 wildly different heights each time. And I’m even using the Creality BL Touch sensor!

I have upgraded the springs, and I’m using the wide knob’s, and spent days trying to tune in my printer. I’m also using the Jyers Marlin firmware (15x15).

It’s exhausting and not fun. Help me Make Printing Fun Again. 😩

 

I waited for deeper into the episode and cut the closed captioning in hopes of increasing the difficulty.

 

Hi Lemmings!

I have a 3.5 yo Pit Bull Terrier/Mini Pinscher mixed breed that is always anxious and scared of her own shadow.

For the past year she has lived with me in my new home, which unfortunately backs up to a landscaping supply company that operates machinery that makes a lot of noise during the day, and also is on a fairly busy road that sees a lot of traffic (and people with horrible muffler systems that would wake the dead).

When she first came to my new house she would have accidents, which is understandable. She eventually got comfortable enough with going out back to use the bathroom, and would let me know that she needed to go. In fact, if I do t respond within a minute of her sitting at the back door, she will bark so I notice her. I love it. I couldn’t be prouder.

But, during the day especially, when she goes outside she gets scared by the landscaping supplier noises, cars backfiring/diesel trucks, or neighboring dogs barking, and will immediately turn back to come inside. I have to then go out with her and command her to “go potty”. And even then, she will often try to fake like she peed, or she will flee mid poop and run back to the door. During the evenings, she’s not as scared, and is even adventurous with exploring the back yard.

She is even scared of most of the house itself: something about the kitchen terrifies her, which sucks because to get from the living room to the rest of the house she has to go through the kitchen. And the only places she really feels comfortable are in the bedrooms.

Lately she seems to have regressed with the household accidents; mostly if I leave her unattended for any length of time; e.g. grocery shopping, dropping off or picking up my kids from somewhere, etc. if I crate her when I leave, she’s fine. However, she is not comfortable in her crate — she slinks all the way to the back of the crate, and curls up into the tightest ball she can and trembles the entire time.

She is difficult to train. It originally took 2 years to get her house broken, and in that time she’s only learned sit and lie down. I have hired a dog trainer, and have tried PetSmart training for the social aspect. Both instances were lackluster. She is not food motivated like other dogs. Or, at least maybe I just haven’t found the right food to motivate her with.

I am starting to feel overwhelmed by her accidents and inability to focus through her fear; I’ve even lost my temper a few times and yelled at her for it. I understand that does not help her situation, and I do not want to give up on her (or me). At least not if there are still things I can try to help build her confidence.

With all of that said, my question is for any advice that I can use to help build her confidence, break through her ~~fight-or-~~flight reactions, and get her feeling safe in her own home.

Asteroid chronicles the journey of Spencer Coleman and his family from the “big city” to a house on the outskirts of his hometown. The film anticipates the fragmentations of emerging modernism and blends humor with social satire while highlighting a life based on procrastination and avoidance. And there's an Asteroid coming!

 

Can this be done without replacing the ceiling? The house was built in 1980, so I’m not surprised that there is warpage, but I’d like to hide it if possible.

 

Aside of these signs and the address numbers, the building is completely unmarked.
