  • McDonald’s tried replacing order-takers (don’t know what they call them) with AI, and it couldn’t even do that…

    Plus, planes already have dozens of safety systems that warn real pilots of dangers, they just don’t have enough control to take over flying the plane, which is good. If the lane keeping system on my car is any indication, computers are only as good as the environment sensors attached. When my car thinks I’m doing something wrong, like driving on a street with no curbs and shitily painted yellow lines, the steering wheel vibrates like Doug. Doug is my vibrator…










  • Dang, I just realized I didn’t explain the setup well enough:

    An old laptop runs the Jellyfin server, but the Pi runs the reverse proxy. For some reason, trying to use the reverse proxied address causes problems, but connecting directly to the laptop via IP address and port runs fine.

    I tried a Jellyfin server with a pi 2 or 3 and it couldn’t serve more than one client at a time. So i imagine a zero wouldn’t even be able to load the app, much less serve anything :/

    My main reason for running my DNS/ad block/nginx through the zero, sometimes the laptop goes down, freezes, or fails to clear the transcodes folder, so having that stuff separate keeps at least part of the network running.


  • If I trusted the battery tech more, I would use an old phone. But I’ve had one of those white plastic Mac books hooked up to power so long, the battery swelled out of its enclosure :/

    Maybe there’s a way to disconnect the battery, or an app that switches off charging, so it drains enough to keep that from happening
