I waddled onto the beach and stole found a computer to use.

  • They’re disabling features

    Synology, maker of network-attached storage (NAS) devices, will seemingly remove advanced features from its Plus devices that are not using hard drives provided by, or certified by, Synology itself, starting with its 2025 lineup.

    What you might lose from using non-Synology-approved hard drives could include pool creation and support for any issues. De-duplication, lifespan analysis, and automatic HDD firmware updates could also disappear on non-approved drives, Synology’s press release suggests.






  • While this won’t be the case with everyone, it was mentioned a few times in a post I made here a long while back

    I’m a woman, and make no attempt to hide that fact in my posts. That said, I also don’t personally have much interest in talking about being a woman, so don’t sub to any of those places you linked.

    Over on Reddit I just sort of let people assume I was male a lot of the time, since it wasn’t really relevant to what we were talking about. But from the start on Lemmy I’ve made sure to call out incorrect assumptions, downvote and give a talking to people stereotyping or being misogynistic, etc etc. And the more of us (of all genders) that make that same decision, the better things get

    You can just paste the link normally. If you want custom text on the link, you do this

    Also I think the post is talking about hiding the data to begin with. There are already some tracking tools out there that look at the existing data. If the data isn’t accessible to you, then it’s not accessible to the AI either. Nothing for anyone to look at

    Although I’m not familiar with flight details to know what exactly is being hidden, or if there are workarounds

    The description sounds more like an AI receptionist than an AI nurse. It would be helpful if patients could ask follow-up questions to the automated phone call before an appointment. Some clinics don’t have the manpower for that, and especially not in all the languages that the local population might speak.

    I’d be interested in seeing how good the model actually is, and how it determines when to pass it along to a human

    The concern is with making sure the AI model is only used where it makes sense. Those who are looking to cut costs will try and use it everywhere, and that needs to be kept in check






  • There’s the good-karma-kit, which is a Docker compose bundle of some popular projects: https://github.com/ArchiveBox/good-karma-kit

    It could act as a list to go off of, if you don’t want to host all of them. The link has more info on each, as well as which ones are non-profit / for-profit

    Overview

    Have some space computing power and want to donate it to a good cause? How about 10+ good causes at once?

    ♻️ put an under-utilized system to good use
    🚲 use as much or as little CPU/RAM/DISK as you want
    ✨ 100% more soul warming than mining
    📈 geek out over your CPU/disk/bandwidth stats on the leaderboards

    This is a collection of containers that all contribute to public-good projects:

    • networks: Tor, i2p
    • computing: boinc, foldingathome
    • archiving: archivewarrior, zimfarm, kiwix, archivebox, pywb
    • storage: ipfs, storj, sia, transmission

    This v1 list was started by the ArchiveBox project, but it’s open to contributions.
