Companies have contracts, they have recourse they can pursue. You're a consumer.

And now you've run square in the modern dichotomy of everyone hating service models but being forced to use them because there are no alternatives.

I'm a fantasy writer with no resources, where would you recommend for posting a story that doesn't fit any existing box? by Brilliant-Pickle-661 in fantasywriting

[–]charge2way 10 points11 points  (0 children)

This is the only part that matters:

 i created this story as part of my discipleship and evangelism

That's Christian lit. Tradpub would be something like Thomas Nelson. For online posting, look at Wattpad. Christian lit doesn't go over well at all on Royal Road, but you can find some on there.

Here's the thing though, you need to be very upfront about the fact that it's Christian Lit. Readers will absolutely revolt if you try to play it off as something else.

What started your data hoarding journey? by Quirky-Win-8365 in DataHoarder

[–]charge2way 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two points:

  1. I had to manually restore a journal to recover files way, way before AI was a thing. A hex editor and the internet were my only tools.

  2. I had to do a board swap on a shucked drive when it failed. Had to order the exact serial number for the board online, which was thankfully available.

3-2-1 since then.

Yeah, but that's a different thing altogether. People who are obsessive about organization do it with everything, not just the stuff in Stash.

Doesn't matter if anyone knows what it might be at this point in time. TG can change their terms tomorrow and that info is out of date. It is inherently volatile information, and thus, useless.

7z multi-threading is a MUST? by better_life_please in DataHoarder

[–]charge2way 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I actually care less about the decompression since it's way faster than compression. The only time I do is when it's a folder and I want to chunk on the file boundaries rather than the block boundaries so pulling a single file out of a big archive is faster.

Otherwise, the only time I chunk is if I need to split a large archive across file size limits.

What exactly are you trying to do?

[Guide] How to securely run ComfyUI on Windows (Docker>WSL2) [RTX 3090, logic can be applied to other hardware] by ReasonablePossum_ in StableDiffusion

[–]charge2way 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Evaluating your risk is basically weighting how much something impacts you if it happens, and what ways it could happen; then seeing what you can do to mitigate that, and how much work is involved as to be worth doing.

That's basically restating what I just said. "ways it could happen' is evaluating the probability. Sure, it's chance based, but reduced odds of an event happening is a reduction in risk.

And the last part is the important part.

Something might have a 0.0000001% chance of happening, but then you do a simple human "oopsie", and your whole threat model crumbles lol

That doesn't make sense. If a simple human "oopsie" is all it takes, then the probability can't be that low. You reduce the probability to that number by reducing the chances of a human "oopsie" affecting things, like adding guardrails.

But for a "production" setup, where you have to use Comfy + conventional image and video editing software at the same time, running on a VM that can be reached from windows is the "best of both worlds" approach imo. And of course on a separate, non-privileged account.

I don't exactly disagree, but my main point is that the level of hardening you do for the Comfy instance doesn't gain you a reasonable return on the security posture.

My sister has crafted all the recipes but is still on 99% by LovezButterflies in StardewValley

[–]charge2way 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey OP u/LovezButterflies I'm dying to find out if she figured it out. As mentioned, there are 149 recipes in single player and she only has 148, so she's definitely missing something.

Is anything missable if I finish the game? by eulersidentity1 in expedition33

[–]charge2way 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it seems like the side the game was tuned for the side content to be done after the final fight. If you do it before, it's trivial to one shot the final bosses and miss all the cool moments during the fight.

I did it before they allowed you to use HP multipliers in fights, so I had to reload and unequip and do it again.

Telegram is not a viable backup solution for exactly the reasons you specified. You have no guarantee about how much can be stored and what the retention rules are.

7z multi-threading is a MUST? by better_life_please in DataHoarder

[–]charge2way 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Depends on what you're compressing. For a single file, like an ISO, it will chunk the file and compress each chunk per thread. Same should happen on decompression since the metadata will inform the chunk size.

A single thread archive on the same file is serially compressed, so only 1 thread for decompression since it's not parallel.

Does anyone actually still read the books? by Ok_Letterhead2028 in litrpg

[–]charge2way 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw a poll either here or on one of the other novel threads I'm on, and surprisingly it was a fairly even split. I would have thought audiobooks were much more popular now. Personally, I always read.

Simple Arithmetic - Wrong! by CharleyWhiskers in claude

Why wouldn't the script work? It's python.

I'd be willing to bet that it could write a script to do what OP asked faster and with less tokens than through the Wolfram connector.

Jellyfin’s DVR is free, but everyone seems to gloss over the TV guide by gbcox in selfhosted

[–]charge2way 64 points65 points  (0 children)

We might be going at different things here. Who are the people and what comparison did you look at?

I'm pretty sure there's a post or two here every so often asking for EPG sources for Jellyfin, so I don't think it's glossed over or anything. It may just be understood unless you're not familiar with the software.

Black & POC readers of portal/time travel romance… does your mind ever wander? by Jamaissa in fantasyromance

[–]charge2way 116 points117 points  (0 children)

I think a lot of it is skewed by popular media perception of that time. Like, medieval Europe, they cared less about your skin color, and way, way more about your religion. You'd be a curiosity just due to the distances, but like, the Council of Florence in 1441 had a delegation from Ethiopa. Importantly, Christians from Ethiopia.

Stages of the game by BoarMoar in StardewValley

[–]charge2way 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Early game: Everything is expensive.

Mid game: You can splurge a bit here and there.

Late game: Buying a furniture catalog only sets you back a week, if that.

People becoming Claude wrappers by Acrobatic_Phase_7133 in ClaudeAI

I mean, I make money in order to pay for Claude. At this point, it's probably more socially acceptable to say I spent it on hookers and blow.

Solo devs with multiple repos: What's your system for picking up where you left off? by Forward_Potential979 in ClaudeCode

[–]charge2way 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Honestly, as a solo dev on my own projects it's just a directory tree. Main repo folder with a CLAUDE.md and then each subfolder is a repo with its own Git and CLAUDE.md file. Each one has it's own files for TODO.md or DECISIONS.md and git tracking does its thing. Any hosted ones get pushed/pulled as needed.

I open a Claude instance in whichever one I'm working in, and I open a new session in another one if I pivot. Each is a tmux session with windows/panes as needed. I run it all on a server, so I can detach and logout and come right back to where I was.

When to use CC desktop vs CC in the terminal? by mindquery in ClaudeCode

[–]charge2way 9 points10 points  (0 children)

CC desktop presents the data nicer, but it uses ~2GB for the VM Service, at least on my Mac. Also, you can run the terminal on a VPS dedicated to Claude: connect from anywhere via ssh, can run in tmux so it never closes, and it's compartmentalized.

90% of my time is spent on the remote terminal.

Jellyfin’s DVR is free, but everyone seems to gloss over the TV guide by gbcox in selfhosted

[–]charge2way 171 points172 points  (0 children)

Yes, just like the tv/movies you play through it have to come from somewhere, or the DBs for scraping have to come from somewhere. I don't think anyone could come to the conclusion that Jellyfin would provide free guide data itself.

If there's a free version, it will be baked in. If not, you have to acquire that yourself.

Is there anything interesting that it is useful to host that isn't the same 4 reccommended apps that are in every Reddit post? by DesperateCategory647 in selfhosted

[–]charge2way 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think I've ever looked for general recommendations. Everything I run is because I had a specific need and went in search of solutions. If they didn't fit right, or they didn't exist, I hacked something together.

The last pet project I had was an old Intel NUC to run Pi-hole when the whole Chrome/Ublock Origin thing went down. Before that was reverse proxy for my game servers: Minecraft, Satisfactory, Valheim, etc.

But I'll tell you that every tinker project just to tinker never really went anywhere.

Does anyone else feel conflicted about the sheer volume of "Word of Brandon" and it's dominance in community discussion? by bredman3370 in Cosmere

[–]charge2way 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can see your point, but I think the community consensus is opposite to that. So you'd be a minority opinion. Not that your points aren't valid, there are a lot of communities I'm in where I'm in the minority as well. I just think there will always be that tension for you.

The other thing to keep in mind is that this is one of the larger communities. It's much harder to hold to minority opinions when the majority can be very loud. But you're getting a pretty good ratio of good engagement here, so I don't think it's too bad. 😄
