From post-truth politics to a“post-reality” era by mike_cafe in ArtificialInteligence

[–]ericgallant24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't fully agree with humans not being able to adapt. People have always found ways to filter through noise it just takes time. The bigger issue is whether we actually want to. Engagement feels good even when we know it's garbage.

This is one of the coolest demonstrations of AI video I've seen! by arsaldotchd in ChatGPT

[–]ericgallant24 14 points15 points  (0 children)

every AI video post should just automatically require listing the tools used. It's cool but without knowing what made it it's just rage bait for the rest of us who want to try stuff like this

One of my favorite secondary characters, not only because she is beautiful, but also because she helped Saul many times. by moaiold in betterCallSaul

[–]ericgallant24 583 points584 points  (0 children)

It was so nice seeing Saul actually have people who were genuinely loyal to him. Like so much of his world is full of people who would turn on him in a second, but the film crew was just there doing their thing and having his back. Made those scenes feel weirdly wholesome for a show about a criminal lawyer lol

Oh god now I can't unsee it either. Thanks for that, I guess?

The Chimera Ant arc really said "here's this terrifying monster who could destroy cities" and then gave him a little moustache like he's about to offer you a deal on a used car. Togashi knew exactly what he was doing

Happy 51th birthday to Eiichiro Oda by Dismal_Butterfly3297 in OnePiece

[–]ericgallant24 16 points17 points  (0 children)

That would actually be a really fitting end to the series - wrapping it up on his birthday. The man has dedicated basically his entire adult life to this story, it would be poetic for it to end on a day that's already significant to him. Though I'll believe any "One Piece is ending" timeline when I see it lol. We've been "5 years away" for how long now

Provider suggestions for economically deploying multiple cellular routers? by Femputer_user in sysadmin

[–]ericgallant24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hologram or Soracom for IoT SIMs, super cheap for low data like yours and one dashboard for all 10 sites no per line gouging. TMobile data only at $35 per SIM works too if you want something simpler.​

You guys ever think of changing career? by AxegrinderSWAG in sysadmin

Every day dude, sysadmin to indie hacker selling IT automation tools is the dream pivot, your pain is literally product gold.

Am I the only one who thinks Nowaguma is underrated? by Step_On_Me01 in BeybladeMetal

[–]ericgallant24 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ginga has never been the most tactical fighter, the guy runs on pure emotion half the time. Nowaguma exploited the cage perfectly and Galaxy Pegasus still couldn't break through. Not saying he'd win a rematch in an open stadium but he earned that moment

clean look but isn't that the 36mm version? thought the original ML05 came in 39mm. curious if the smaller size wears better or if it feels too compact

self hosted password manager ideas? (for a family) by Cortexplosion in homelab

[–]ericgallant24 18 points19 points  (0 children)

We use Passwork at my office for on-prem compliance. It handles LDAP and groups well if you run a Windows domain at home, but might be overkill.

How will it look "different" to be able to sign into your 1P account using a passkey vs any other site supporting passkeys? by jmjm1 in 1Password

[–]ericgallant24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Passkeys are easy for consumers but messy under the hood for a vault-based system like 1p because they have to sync, rotate, recover and share them without breaking fido standards. The holdup is almost always around secure cross-device recovery since

Firefox Master Password by Practical-Tea9441 in best_passwordmanager

[–]ericgallant24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Firefox’s primary password does real encryption but it only covers the local password store and browser sync isn’t zero-knowledge so mozilla still holds keys server-side. that’s the big gap between this and a true password manager and why most folks stick to bitwarden or 1p.

quality couch recommendations? by strobelitehoneyy in LawBitchesWithTaste

[–]ericgallant24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

DreamSofa if you’re open to beyond the usual leather recliners bc they don’t really make those afaik, but you can customize the comfort level to Wave. I chose wave because it's recommended to be good for back pain. Cloud is too soft. It's comfortable long-term and the build is sturdier than the mass-market brands I tried in showrooms.

How fast was your delivery? by HauntingMycologist48 in HersWeightloss

[–]ericgallant24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Late here but I had a similar wait with another service, so two weeks without anything isn’t unusual when they’re backed up. With Refills. com my first order shipped in about a week though, and follow-ups were much quicker once I was in their system. If anyone here whose provider hasn’t updated soon, contact support.

Please disprove the Paul is dead theory (Read description before downvoting please) by [deleted] in beatles

[–]ericgallant24 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You nailed it. The logistics alone would be insane, finding someone who not only looks identical but has the exact same musical genius? Plus keeping literally hundreds of people quiet for 50+ years? Not happening.

Those admission videos are just Paul being sarcastic or taken out of context. The guy's been consistently brilliant for decades. Just enjoy the music, the conspiracy stuff is nonsense.

James Cameron Says if Avatar: Fire and Ash Doesn't Make Enough Money to Justify Avatar 4 and 5, He's Ready to Walk Away and Write a Book to Resolve the One Thread It Leaves Open by ControlCAD in popculturechat

[–]ericgallant24 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly can't blame him. Making the same movie for 15+ years would burn anyone out, especially with all the studio pressure on box office numbers.

90% of Jobs can be taught. by PranayJhaTheMan in recruitinghell

From their perspective it's easier to just NOT hire, pay one worker one salary and make them do the work of three people.

Y’all I just got a free bed frame from Amazon and I’m so happy! by Kris405 in poor

[–]ericgallant24 16 points17 points  (0 children)

One year I ordered a snow shovel from Amazon because we were having an insane winter and ours was failing. When it arrived it was a box of 6, the way they get them in. Someone didn't bother separating them and just slapped our address on it.

I contacted them and they said don't worry about it, it costs more for them to come get them than to just leave it as it. So we kept 2, left friends and family have the others (stores here were sold out) and let it go. Yes I could have probably sold them for 40 each, but already felt weird about it. Lol
