Yep, same here. Whereas ChatGPT and Perplexity would tell me it didn’t know the answer to my question, Bard/Gemini would confidently hallucinate some bullshit.

Yes, I should’ve added - whether the write speed matters depends on your own use case.
For my SMR drive, it’s taking roughly 2GB of backup files every few hours, in the background, and there’s plenty of empty space on the drive. In my case, it doesn’t matter at all.
However, if you’re sat at your computer, frequently transferring large files while the drive is at least half full, and you have to wait for completion… Then it’ll matter.
From the article:
UPDATE 5/17, 6 PM: Western Digital has confirmed that the new 2.5-inch T GB HDDs uses 6 SMR platters
SMR = shingled magnetic recording https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shingled_magnetic_recording - “continuous writing of large amount of data is noticeably slower than with CMR drives”
Libre Cloud’s head office is a unit on an industrial estate: 82A James Carter Rd, https://maps.app.goo.gl/nu75EEHEDFbY5PMW9 (Update: it’s a virtual office address, which doesn’t really inspire confidence for me)
They probably colocate at data centres.
Personally, I’m on Hetzner’s Storage Share (Nextcloud but without Collabora), and I’d prefer to trust my data to them: https://www.hetzner.com/storage/storage-share/
Regardless of your choice, I definitely agree that nextcloud rocks.
Not French, I don’t understand a word of what they’re saying, but man, I love that album. Especially “Demain, c’est loin”, an epic tune that gives me Wu Tang “Triumph” vibes.
This government is really good at doing something to solve our problems. It’s a shame that the ‘something’ is usually easily circumvented and was poorly concocted so it looks like they’re being tough on some perceived problem.
Trying to work out why this is a good idea. Please could you explain why?
Pi-hole (or my preference Adguard Home) is great for devices connected to your home network. For your phone, go with Blokada (free) or Adguard (iOS, Android, paid - see Stacksocial for occasional license deals) - that’ll cover you at home and out of home.
Thank you @[email protected] for asking these questions, and for everyone giving answers. I was trying to plan out my proxmox installation, and you’ve all pointed me in the right direction.
How about using the free browser-based tier of MS Office 365 https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/microsoft-365/free-office-online-for-the-web - but with an alt email address for this purpose only?
I used to Google for help, but the thing about Google is you have to know the correct technical terms, but when learning Linux, there are many unknown unknowns. And then you have to trawl through am the answers.
Now, any time I enter a command and get errors, or if I don’t understand something in the logs, I’ll copy paste it into perplexity.ai - if necessary, it’ll ask for clarification. But mostly, it’ll suggest various causes and solutions, with explanation.
Dragon/Nuance abandoned Swype keyboard. All I want for Christmas is that they open source Swype.
Yep, all up to date. UBO gives me the option to proceed (= show) the dodgy ads. Maybe something to do with my settings that it doesn’t block those outright. It’s a useful option for when I’m using cashback sites that I can temporarily grant tracking links.
Not quite a screen shot, but the text:
uBlock Origin has prevented the following page from loading:
Because of the following filter:
/click.php?key=*&zone_id=$document Found in:
uBlock filters – Badware risks
The warnings pop up and hitting proceed shows scammy fake virus scans and such. To make it clear, it’s not luckypatchers itself, but the dodgy full screen ads on load.
Ublock Origin kicks up repeated warnings for this.
Adguard lifetime licence - install adguard on your phone, done.
Or just configure your phone’s DNS setting to use adguard DNS, or other free adblocking DNS.
This is a good example of hallucination, both by the AI and by OP. The first and third word of each line is a synonym for average.
Why not stay with your existing hosts? Does the latency make that much difference for your use?
People on the internet downvoting without fact checking first - business as usual then!
I asked about a plot point that I didn’t understand in a TV series old enough to be in an LLM’s knowledge. Chatgpt and Perplexity both said they couldn’t find any discussions or explanations online for my particular question.
Bard/Gemini gave several explanations, all of them featuring characters, locations, and situations from the show, but confidently bullshit and definitely impossible in the story’s world.
