You can definitely run it on those sorts of machines. You’ll want plenty of storage, but apart from thst it’s not too demanding if you don’t load it up with very high res videos.

It wouldn’t be quite so bad if the previous gold rush ended first, but they seem to just be stacking up.

This is so very important. Snapshots are very helpful tools, and most if the time they’re exactly what you need to recover. Unfortunately they don’t help when the drive fails, or the machine is destroyed by flooding, or myriad other failure modes (human error nit being the least of them). Remote backups are vital if you want your data to survive those events.

Remote copies of the snapshots are a start, but leave you at the mercy of and bugs in the snapshot system, and usually more critically, you have to transfer the whole snapshot or delta, and can’t exclude data without first rearanging your mountpoints.

Lical snapshots and remote file backups give you the best of both worlds, making it easy to recover your data from pretty much any event.

You can’t use anything but maximum super strength, all the time.

I like what you’ve done so far. It’s quick and simple to use. The one bugbear I’ve come across so far is it converting tables to html, rather than storing them as proper markdown.

I read the reasoning in the documentation, and certainly for my usecases, maintaining it as markdown is more important than trying to perfectly preserve the visual formating, especially as I use multiple devices with different sized screens, so I need different fornatting on each! That’s one of markdowns main strengths, it doesn’t preserve formatting so you don’t need to think about it and it’ll be displayed in a reasonable manner anywhere.

Is there any reasonable chance that there could be an option, at the server level rather than per page, to store tables as markdown?

Eink displays are pretty awesome for this sort of thing, I repuposed a kobo ereader as a household info display and it worked nicely. Those PaPiRus screens look easier to interface with, but a little small for reading wikipedia articles. They’d do in a pinch, but the eyestrain would have me looking for a bigger solution.

You’re going to need a monitor as well.

Wikipedia has torrents of the text, but you’d have to download images separately.

Debian, and its base packages have mirroring instructions here. Third party repos would need mirroring separately.

It depends if you want the images or previous versions of wikipedia too. The current version is about 25Gb compressed, the dump with all versions is aparently multiple terabytes. They don’t say how much media they have, but I’m guessing it’s roughly “lots”.

Right, as we all know, the most sensible way to do nonary algebra is in ternary, so we simply calculate 22+21 and convert back to nonary, and optionally decimal afterwards. So, 2 add 1 is 0, carry the 1, add it to 2 for 10, add the 2, carry the one, pad to 4 places and we have 0120, or 16 in base 9. Now to convert to decimal… removes shoes and socks

This is why learning binary is so important. In base two, the same equasion is 1000+0111=1111, now you just convert back to decimal with: 8+4+2+1= sweats and starts counting on fingers before reaching for calculator

I get the sentiment behind this post, and it’s almost always funny when LLM are such dumbass. But this is not a good argument against the technology.

It’s a pretty good argument against the technology, at least as it currently stands. This was a trivial question where anybody with a basic reading ability can see it’s just completely wrong, the problem comes when you ask it a question you don’t already know the answer to and can’t easily check and it give equally wrong answers.

elinks? Getting fancy, aren’t we? They can have lynx and like it or they’ll have to learn to appreciate openssl s_client!

Grrrr. Neovim? I question your devotion to the cause of righteousness. Think well upon your choices lest you too be cast out from the light of the glory of the almighty vim!

Cast out the unbeliever! Drive them from our light! Let them not pass amongst the true believers lest they lead others astray!

Yeah, if they hadn’t come up with the concept of time there’d be no eternity to suffer through.

Sabre-tooth tigers might sneak up and attack if the fire goes out, at least, I’ve not been attacked by one when the fire is burning, so I just can’t take the risk.

Why is this filed under ‘theonion’? Does anyone actually think he wouldn’t start a nuclear war to avoid embarasment, let alone what would happen to him if anything damning came out in those files? I sippose the only unbelivable bit is that he is planning anything, rather than being told what to think.

That’s also true in a lot of fieds, yes. Networking is important.

Absolutely. Its absurd that the system works like this, but it does. Candidates understanding this evens the field somewhat, or, at least, expands the opportunities.
