The SP500 is starting to look like NVIDIA -> companies NVIDIA is investing in -> everyone else. Its starting to get NVIDIA heavy. If they go down…SP500 is gong to look terrible.

Yeah. Works well.

2.7.9

I’ll have to ask. Might be a while.

I do like the old kobos. Fully hackable.

I like dedicated devices for things rather than all in ones. If you have the money of course.

I’ve had luck with web2epub on Firefox. Web articles become epubs which work well with eink readers. PDF is such a storage format cause its many formats under a trench coat. If you find a good solution for those let me know. Even calibre isn’t perfect.

I’ll find it after Christmas. I got a fork a bit ago when looking at the code.

I think its based on https://github.com/atomic14/diy-esp32-epub-reader

Build logs: https://hackaday.io/project/204323-diptyx-e-reader

There’s some premade scripts out there that make it do more. I have it hooked up to nginx and other such logs. Its common enough in login attempts for login portals online, not just ssh. It can work with any grep-able log file.

I just took two scripts other people have made, verified they soon my mini PC and set it loose. Within about 10 min it caught most scrappers and banned the IPs.

That only works if we (the collective we) have more money. If a rich person has more $$ than a small country that means the effect we have is equivalent.

That’s why micron is doing what its doing. We are no longer the customer. They voted for us.

I hope you get what you want. Me I want something I could put in my pocket.

There is a build page on the github for the device.

Google and OpenAI sucks:

Google’s legal theory has another significant problem: the requirement that a TPM must “effectively control” access. Just last week, a court rejected Ziff Davis’s attempt to turn robots.txt into a 1201 violation when OpenAI allegedly ignored its crawling restrictions. The court’s reasoning is directly applicable here:

OpenAI slamed my small server into the ground, until I put fail2ban on top. It was really bad, like thousands of requests per second bad.

Laravel.

I have a tiny php library for a somewhat popular framework. It was made so a company could protect a very old database and certain tables. It started as a one off 9 years ago. It was one php file of less than 50 lines.

As of this month it has been downloaded 2 million times. I still can’t believe its been used this much. And I’m the only maintainer. If I wanted to I could ruin a lot of peoples days. But I won’t.

In a couple of decades, we are going to have large swaths of code that will outlive its creators being used on essential infrastructure.

Getting repairable tech will be even more important now than ever. Making your current devices last is important, but even more important in a couple of years (in my opinion).

I just dont see the price going down.

My theory is its easier to produce a product for a small number of big investors in AI than millions of consumers looking to build hobby computers. Plus the AI companies are flush with cash, MUCH more than the average consumer. So they are getting the cash now and worrying about the fallout later, just like everyone else.

So far we are seeing significant price increases/low availability in:

• RAM
• SSDs/hard drives
• some microcontrollers
• phones
• and now GPUs
  I think we are nearing a bit of a technological winter for the consumer market.

No idea.

We recently had to get rid of a vendor at work because the private company was bought out by a foreign power. Can’t say more than that. Kinda sucks as now we have to replace some of the infa.

Which countries?

There are clones now more open than arduino that we can buy. In addition esp32 and other small boards are awesome.
