hypothetical question - let's say I want to use a public computer (library for example) and want to access a website (e.g: RSS reader, notes) at home that's normally protected by tailscale - how would one go about doing this? i can't install the tailscale client on a public computer

i think i'd like to start publishing it on the web too - email is just getting too unreliable these days - need to think about how to lock it down so only paying subscribers can access, but also not having to use a bloated CMS that locks me in to that platform (i.e: Ghost or Substack or Beehiiv)

you do need IPv6 if you’re using an Open Thread border router for the pairing process - at least that’s what the logs in Home Assistant keep whinging about.

A little tip for anyone who has a large ATO bill to pay - Officeworks has a $1000 pre-paid Visa with a $9 activation fee and paying the ATO with a Visa debit card incurs no fee.
To pay a $115,000 tax bill (capital gains tax from selling a property for example):
* Spend $116,035 on the pre-paid Visas at Officeworks. That'll get you 261,078 Amex rewards points (can be converted to 116,035 Qantas points if that's your airline of choice).
* Pay the ATO $10,000/day (the max they take is 10x payments a day), so it'll take 12 days to pay em.
* $1,035 goes to the pre-paid Visa issuer in activation fees vs 0% paying via BPay, but you get 116,035 Qantas points at a rate of 0.79c per point.
* It's also better than Sniip which works out to 1.88c/QFF point, or paying directly with the Amex at 2.9c/QFF point.
It's better to buy gift cards when Woolworths/Coles has a sale so you get bonus Flybuys/Everyday Rewards points on top, or when there's a $0 activation fee sale, but those are rare these days, plus they're often only on $100 or $250 cards. A 115x $1000 cards are way less hassle to pay the ATO with than 1150x $100 cards!

And don't forget - shit like this is what is killing news as an industry. People read these LLM summaries instead of the actual news (that a human wrote - most of the time at least) and that's it. How are the news sources supposed to make money off this to fund the actual journalism? It's fucked.

2025-07-11 11:15:11 GMT

ugh, I hate how Kagi is pitching its new news aggregator - it looks like they're sucking in a bunch of RSS feeds from news sites, findign the most popular stories then using an LLM to summarise it
https://kite.kagi.com/
"Kite reads public RSS feeds of thousands of (community-curated) world-wide news sources and distills them into one perfect daily briefing. You get every critical perspective and timeline in just 5 minutes. That's it. No endless scrolling. No attention hijacking. Because we deserve better."
A 5-minute "perfect" daily briefing is laughable and an insult to journalists. But then again, technologists have nothing but disdain for journalists and most of them have warped views on what journalists do.

May have been nerd-sniped by @npub1lgd…63y5 into a project today (in a good way - might be just the thing I've been waiting for).
A not for profit/co-op that people who also hate Facebook can donate to and it funds the server, storage & bandwidth costs for non-commercial communities to migrate away from Facebook groups, along a team of people (i.e: me, maybe someone else if it gets popular) to do the backend server nerd stuff so they don't have to and don't have to pay for it either.
I don't know if that's the only stumbling block for groups to get the fuck off Mark Zuckerberg's shithole slop factory - the Facebook network effect is strong - but it’ll remove one less barrier.

Sam Altman posted this to his blog:
"People are often curious about how much energy a ChatGPT query uses; the average query uses about 0.34 watt-hours, about what an oven would use in a little over one second, or a high-efficiency lightbulb would use in a couple of minutes. It also uses about 0.000085 gallons of water; roughly one fifteenth of a teaspoon."
https://blog.samaltman.com/the-gentle-singularity
In December 2024 OpenAI announced that they do around 1 billion queries per day.
https://www.theverge.com/2024/12/4/24313097/chatgpt-300-million-weekly-users
That means ChatGPT is using 340-400MWh of energy per day. That's not as bad as I thought to be honest (if you believe Altman). Old mate doesn't mention the data used to train/infer the models though.

what I wanna know is how do these sites stand up financially? are they loss leaders to sell cars (maybe, but they're open to all EVs, so it's not like you need a Tesla to use them) or do they genuinely make money and Tesla is the only company operating in Australia with the knowledge and capital to invest in the sites of this size?

2025-05-09 06:11:25 GMT

Say what you will about Tesla (there's a lot to say), but they're still the only company serious about building proper EV fast charging sites on the busiest routes in Australia - they're currently building a 20-stall site in Goulburn and a 12-stall site in Coolac (in addition to 12 in Yass and 16 in Albury), both along the Hume in desperately needed locations. Chargefox & Evie are doing sweet fuck all along the Hume in comparison. BP & Ampol doing even worse.

another good article about AI slop and how the right wing has embraced it
"In a short time, a full half of the political spectrum has collectively fallen for the glossy, disturbing visuals created by generative AI. Despite its proponents having little love, or talent, for any form of artistic expression, right wing visual culture once ranged from memorable election-year posters to ‘terrorwave’. Today it is slop, almost totally. Why? To understand it, we must consider the right’s hatred of working people, its (more than) mutual embrace of the tech industry and, primarily, its profound rejection of Enlightenment humanism"

also it is ridiculous facebook is the only place the council posts this stuff - make your own blog and cross-post to other platforms from there you idiots!

voice assistants are really handy for lots of people that aren't as physically able or can't understand how to use a computer/device - voice assistants and privacy aren't mutually exclusive!

Anyone had luck ripping “Copy
Controlled” CDs? Or should I just give up and pirate some FLAC rips and keep these for listening in a CD player only?

ivory is very nice imho and a native mac app (i pay for it on iOS and iPad, so it's good to have a consistent experience across those other devices too)

2025-02-10 23:50:02 GMT

I've also got three apps on my Mac for social media now. Ivory for Mastdon (very good), Bluesky running in a Safari web ap p (works but I don't like it) and Croissant for posting to Bluesky & Mastodon (lame iOS app cross-developed for macOS, I could replace it with a small website). Ridiculous.

if you wanna opt-out of OpenAI slurping your photos, "photographers had to submit each piece of work they wanted excluding along with detailed descriptions, a cumbersome process" - so give the thief all your stuff so they know what not to steal, gotcha
