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.

Yeah this is just noticeable because most products weren’t even resealable, they just expected you to seal em yourself with a clip, twist em, put em in a container, etc.

Now they are adding cheap resealable zips to the bag, which is nice in theory but the bag material has to be strong enough to support it.

Actual ziplock baggies themselves are made of thick plastic that can take a bit of abuse.

But cheap paper plastic hybrid materials a chip bag us made of can’t handle that sort of load, so it becomes the fail point.

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.

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.

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.

I’d recommend you actually read the very article and explicitly try and look for a genuine quote where an individual explicitly is quoted as saying Biden should drop out.

Note how everytime it’s a generalized paraphrase at not an actual quote.

And interestingly enough all the actual quotes are more along the lines of “He should be doing x”, or etc.

And even more so many articles capstone at the end with “when asked they re-affirmed support for biden”

The articles wiggle word their way just enough to subtly imply someone is saying he should drop, yet they can’t manage to find a single actual concrete quote of anyone actually saying it, which shouldn’t be that hard to do.

That should be a red flag for you that the article is being purposefully vague on purpose.

Stop falling for the bullshit. Actually read what the article says and look at the quotes, note the dissonance between the quotes and the paraphrasing…

This is fundamentally the standard “people are saying…” classic propoganda engine that trump literally used for over 4 years straight.

Step 1: Trump and/or his team talks about <thing> without any basis, just remarking on it Step 2: News cycles pick it up and remark about Trump remarking on it Step 3: Trump now re-iterates the talking point but this time saying its in the news Step 4: The news once again re-iterates it

At this point its so obfuscated in layers its hard to pick up the original source being “Trump just bullshitting about nothing” and then it becomes news

It’s such a tired and classic play its insane that people somehow eight years later are still falling for it.

Biden did a fucking press conference very clearly stating he is running, I don’t know how the fuck he can be more explicit that this isnt up for discussion, it’s happening, stop fucking spreading some form of implication it isnt. He so very clearly is who the democrats are pushing forward, everything else is propaganda bullshit to make people second guess.

if

He is running, thats just a fact. He did a press conference to make it abundantly clear he is very much running and has zero intention to not run.

This whole “should he run? will he? if he will run. What will he decide” shit is propaganda fundamentally.

Stop falling for it, and stop spreading it.

The fuck is this headline, “time is running short for him to decide”

He literally held a press conference stating abundantly clearly he has zero plans to drop.

Why is the press trying so hard to push this narrative that he is anything less than 100% running?

Propaganda engine trying to sew seeds of distrust. The dudes very clearly running, headlines like this are so fucking slimey.

If you’re whining about having to vote in multiple elections Thats not what people are “whining” about.

Voting has nothing to do with the deeper rooted intrinsic issues, and voting will simply never solve them. Way more serious legal measures have to be taken instead.

I think the main thing is, people have been banging the “just vote” drum for like 12 years now, and people are voting.

Trump isnt currently the president, nor has he been for nearly 4 years.

And yet the US’s constitution has never been more eroded. People DID vote, but it doesnt do jack shit when the individuals in question fucking shit up weren’t voted in
