Weird take.

People can care about and discuss more than one thing at a time.

Maybe, but the intersection of this group and certain plane trips to a certain island is suspicious.

I’ve been looking for th8s for awhile too.

Not a locally run tool, but a self hosted web app (that I wire up to my self hosted db) that has a web portal I login to, and then can manage my db with a nice slick UI to define tables, relations, etc.

There’s been some I’ve found but they vastly lacked basic features and were clearly in very early beta.

As a ferret owner who has witnessed many a weasel war dance, my running theory us that it’s actually a trick to cloak their smell.

A large amount of war dancing involves them rolling around on the ground, as if to rub as much of their body and fur into the ground as they can.

If they did that out in the wild, it’s easy to see how this would potentially temporarily cloak their smell in dust and dirt and, right before they go after their prey. It also would probably kick up a bunch of dust into the wind too, which could further mask their approach.

A lot of weasel small prey targets primarily use smell as an early detection. If the weasel has effectively cloaked themselves, it could get them an extra second or two of closing the gap before their prey notices them, which could be a big part of why they’re just so dang good at hunting.

Ferrets are, in fact, such effective hunters, the British government many centuries ago put restrictions on Ferreting (the usage of ferrets to hunt with) cuz it was so efficient it was causing depopulation problems.

I use Hugo, it’s not super complicated.

You basically just define templates in pseudo html for common content (header, nav panel, footer, etc), and then you write your articles in markdown and Hugo combines the two and outputs actual html files.

You also have a content folder for js, css, and images which get output as is.

That’s about all there is to it, it’s a pretty minimalist static site generator.

Hosting wise you can just put it on github pages for free.

Well yeah, I’d hope so, that’s the entire point.

Catcha’s data collection always was with the intent for training ai on these skills. That’s “the point” of them.

It’s reasonable to expect that the older version of captchas can now be beaten by modern ai, because they’re often literally trained on that exact data to beat it.

Captcha effectively is free to use on websites as a tool because the data collection is the “payment”, they then license that data out to people like OpenAI to train with for stuff like image recognition.

It’s why ai is progressing so fast, captchas are one of humanity’s long term collected data silos that are very full now.

We are going to have to keep progressing the complexity of catches as it will be the only way to catch modern AIs, and in turn it will collect more data to improve it.

Not quite.

It’s mostly wisdom of the crowd, as it always has been.

As long as you mostly click the same squares most other people click, you pass.

You often at random get 2-3 images because 2 of them are actual checks, but the third is a new image that you auto pass and they’re using it to gather data on what the average clicks are on it.

Because having people download static map data for the entire planet just to play a game is untenable.

You shouldn’t have to download the entire planet though.

The game 100% should support installing local specific areas you wanna fly around, that anyone could then keep a copy of.

If a user wanted to cache an entire 8 TB of the entire world on a drive, they should be able to just do that (and thus have forever support without worrying about internet services staying online)

At least, as a snapshot of what the world looked like in 2024.

I don’t see why users shouldn’t have the option to locally HD save the data if they want to, to avoid maxing out their internet bandwidth in one sitting.

“Move Fast and Break Things” is Zuckerberg/Facebook motto, not Musk, just to note.

Dunno why ppl are down voting you, this is 100% the way.

Architecture as code is amazing, being able to completely wipe your server, re-install fresh, and turn it on and it goes right back to how it was is awesome.

GitOps version controlled architecture is easy to maintain, easy to rollback, and easy to modify.

I use k8s for my entire homelab, it has some initial learning curve but once you “get it” and have working configs on github, it becomes so trivial to add more stuff to it, scale it up, etc.

They aren’t getting rid of chromecast, the title is clickbait.

There are 2 CCwGTV models, only 1 of then is being discontinued.

The other one sounds like it’ll keep being sold.

But also you can always just buy a chromecast, just cuz they aren’t being actively produced doesn’t mean you can’t find em online

I have no idea what people are fucking up tbh.

It’s 2 button clicks to cast stuff, I just went and sanity checked.

The internet is full of disinformation and idiots though so I usually just assume people are the issue, when I have the same hardware and zero issues.

I don’t think chromecasts have even gotten any kind of major change updates in ages so it’s bizarre for it to change behavior.

I’m gonna just keep going with “people are dumb” until someone posts some concrete example (IE an actual video) of wtf their issue is.

The chromecast is designed so simply though that I can’t imagine wtf people are fucking up.

I’ll just have to respectfully disagree in experience.

I have multiple gens of chromecasts and haven’t seen any degradation in performance. They work pretty much the same.

I have no idea wtf is going on with your units.

I wrote it up elsewhere, but I don’t mind the price point.

The built in ethernet port covers a lot of that.

A solid quality ethernet dongle is gonna be $25, so now that’s $75 for the 4k CCwGTV + ethernet.

So you’re paying $25 extra for the better form factor (2 chained dongles look so bad), the extra ram, better processor, etc

For some folks that might not matter, but I use Steam Link on my CCwGTV and those specs will likely make a tangible boost in gaming performance for quality, frame rate, latency, input lag, etc.

So in my demographic of people gaming with em, I 100% expect it’ll be a popular upgrade.

The ethernet part is pretty big, overall. Don’t overbook that.

The built in ethernet cable seems almost worth it.

It’s around $15 to $20 to add on a usb c ethernet dongle to the existing CCwGTV dongle if you want high speed connection to it (which you prolly do if you wanna stream 4k or lower latency game with Steam Link )

Better quality dongles are closer to $25 if you dont want it to crap out.

So, assuming the onboard ethernet is comparable to a higher end dongle, you’d be looking at closer to $75 to get the same experience with the Older CCwGTV model. ($50 + $25)

Add in the higher specs and the fact that chaining 2 dongles together looks ugly as fuck and easier to fail, and the +$25 remaining ($75 -> $100) is not actually too horrible of an extra price.

$100 for a better form factor (the dongle does look bad), better specs, built in ethernet, it’s not terrible ngl.

I game with Steam Link all the time on my CCwGTV so I 100% am gonna spend the money on better specs so I feel like I’m taking better advantage of my 4060ti I’m Steam linking to.

If it has a better bluetooth card too that’s gonna be even bigger, better wireless controller range is awesome.

That extra RAM is not something to scoff at.

The extra storage is kinda dumb though, prolly the real cash grab. I doubt anyone was maxing out their CCwGTV storage capacity o_O

I own multiple gens of Chromecasts from gen 1 to to CCwGTV

I have no idea wtf you are talking about.

I click cast, I click the device I’m casting to, it works, never had this issue on any of my devices abd all of them are set to auto update and afaik running latest versions.

That’s literally what a chromecast is.

I have multiple generations of them, and casting a YouTube video is 2 clicks.

1. Cast button
2. Pick what device to cast to.

Done.

Why is this being framed this way.

Rebranding the next gen of your product isn’t “killing” it, people are so fucking clickbaitable.

It’s the same product, just next gen with better specs abd they’re going with a new simpler brand name than “Chromecast with Google TV” (yes that’s the actual product name before) and instead the next gen is named “Google TV Streamer”

It’s the exact same thing, and all existing hardware will keep working.

Chromecasts are standalone and effectively just running a modified version of Android. They can’t really be “killed” as they work over local network. Theoretically any chromecast will last forever as it’s functionality is based off a specified open source protocol, so as long as you have a device that can output it (cast), you can cast to your chromecast.

So it’s impossible to “kill”. I have a gen 1 chromecast that still 100% works fine today.

Newer Chromecasts ahem Google TVs just have more features, like apps you can install and sideload.

People are dumb for falling for this clickbait title.
