I don’t have a specific place; just some of the private general-purpose trackers I’m on will occasionally have someone come by and dump a pile of STLs from various places on them.

(The private part, unfortunately, means I can’t actually share more, sorry - fight club rules and whatnot.)

There’s some cryptobro projects about sticking distributed file sharing on top of ~ THE BLOCKCHAIN ~.

I’m skeptical, but it might actually be a valid use of such a thing.

There’s a ton of commercial/locked-behind-patreon stuff, usually around things like RPG scenery or figures and such.

Like, an immense library of shit that’s not free.

What, you mean you don’t play games and go “Well that looked great! Well worth my time!” like an awful lot of the AAA game industry appears to think gamers do?

Huh.

Seriously though, I’m curious how we ended up in the make-shit-prettier race and not a make-the-writing-good, or make-the-game-actually-fun, or even things like make-more-than-two-dungeons (looking at you, Starfield) race.

Especially given the cost to me, personally, to keep upgrading my GPU has reached an untenable level: I’m sure as crap not paying $2000 for a new GPU just so we get a few extra frames of hair jiggle or slightly better lighting or whatever.

$5 says the problem is the ad revenue they were living on has dried up and/or dramatically shrunk.

This has happened to a LOT of sites, and a more niche site like newgrounds probably doesn’t command high rates, so they have to figure out how to fund themselves now.

Edit: Also, I don’t think sites asking you to donate/pay for features is “enshittification”. If anything, getting revenue from you, the user, is a hard counter to enshittification.

Enshittification is exploiting you for the benefit of capital: you become the product, and are pimped out to anyone who wants to pay.

If you’re the one paying for the service, you’re maintaining the relationship as a customer, and you keep the power in that dynamic, which is a power ‘free users’ on enshittified platforms don’t have: you can take your money and leave, and that will actually hurt them.

This isn’t globally true, of course - what is? - but telling you they need money to keep the site up and offer you a method to pay and provide something for your money is very very honest compared to what most of big tech pulls.

Man, I wish this had been a thing ~8 months ago when I was building these for my stuff.

…mine are awful, and these look awesome, so maybe it’s time to re-do that.

…so do both?

“Hi, coworker! How’s your day? Anyway bossman is on me about the TPS reports, are those going to be done today?”

See? You were polite, checked in on them, AND got to the point all at once!

What platform would you perhaps be interested in?

Still missing the only two numbers that matter: gigabytes of vram, and price.

Yeah, I didn’t mean to imply he did nothing at all.

He did a good job of pushing node shrinks, and did an awful lot of them awfully fast.

Though, my vibe is he was probably fired because he had the unfortunate issue of being an engineer and didn’t really have the ability to stay in proper CEO-speak and was talking and causing a LOT of damage to Intel with what he said, when, and to whom.

A good example is shitting on TSMC while being entirely reliant on them for client chips. The CEO thing would have been to just shut up and say how much you like working with them and how great the partnership is but uh, that’s not what he did.

ArchiveBox is great.

I’m big into retro computing and general old electronics shit, and I archive everything I come across that’s useful.

I just assume anything and everything on some old dude’s blog about a 30 year old whatever is subject to vanishing at any moment, and if it was useful once, it’ll be useful again later probably so fuck it, make a copy of everything.

Not like storage is expensive, anyway.

I’m not up on corpo shareholder suits in general, but has there been a high-profile case of shareholders demanding the return of salary from CEOs that managed do nothing useful?

Like, did Carly or Leo have to pay HP back for their blunders? Or Marissa at Yahoo? And so on, etc.

It’s viable, but when you’re buying a DAS for the drives, figure out what the USB chipset is and make sure it’s not a flaky piece of crap.

Things have gotten better, but some random manufacturers are still using trash bridge chips and you’ll be in for a bad time. (By which I mean your drives will vanish in the middle of a write, and corrupt themselves.)

Okay so you’re able to access it via the IP it’s hosted on, but NOT via the domain name in the tunnel?

Is the working IP a public or private one?

My $5 is that you don’t have the tunnel configured properly and that’s why you’re having issues, but maybe not.

Also, what specifically did you put in the config file? Usually they’re not asking for an IP, but the FQDN of the site.

Am I missing something, or is this just the argo tunnel thing Cloudflare has offered for quite a while?

Are you using Cloudflare as DNS, proxy, or via their argo tunnels? (I know you said tunnel, but then mention accessing via IP address, so I’m not entirely sure what you’ve done.)

Kinda changes what you should be looking at.

10000% this.

Tell me what it does, and SHOW me what it does.

Because guessing what the hell your thing looks like and behaves like is going to get me to bounce pretty much immediately because you’ve now made it where I have to figure out how to deploy your shit if I want to know. And, uh, generally, if you have no screenshots, you have no good documentation and thus it’s going to suuuuck.

It’s because of updates and who owns the support.

The postgres project makes the postgres container, the pict-rs project makes the pict-rs container, and so on.

When you make a monolithic container you’re now responsible for keeping your shit and everyone else’s updated, patched, and secured.

I don’t blame any dev for not wanting to own all that mess, and thus, you end up with seperate containers for each service.

Time to rename the blue shell to The Shell of Equity, I guess?

you may see your mom

I hope not. I’ve got a strict no-zombies policy, and I’m certainly not violating it for her.
