    News Gemini's new model will use your search history

    I would be very surprised if this was the case - ChatGPT's usage amongst the general population (especially students and white collar workers) is recently high, and Chrome is by far the most popular mainstream browser. Add that to the fact that a lot of Gemini use will probably be from people...

    News Gemini's new model will use your search history

    I mean, if you use Chrome while logged into Google, it makes sense - they already have access to that data and use it to target ads and tune their algorithms anyway, why not benefit from it? The real problem wouldn't be the data being used to train a model, the real problem would be human...

    Damn, I come back to this thread and so much shit has happened. Mfw when the seller's details were found: Mfw when it's revealed that the seller has multiple alts and has been banned for this shit before: Mfw when he keeps digging the hole: Mfw his defense is that he's been scammed in the...

    Perplexity Pro - 699₹ [ 12 Months Subscription Code ✅ ]

    Hey, I have a few questions about this if you don't mind. I looked up the "Perplexity Pro Partnership Program", but I can't find any record of it except for this thread, and these Reddit threads - were these made by you? I ask because the price point is the same as in this thread. The OP...

    Security Software Preffered VPN

    They've published audit results as of June 2024, including of their no logs policy (not familiar with the auditor so no idea if they're reputable or not). And I can't find any evidence of them having outright refused to do an audit - the main issue I see is that they didn't keep their original...

    Security Software Preffered VPN

    Oh, you mean the VPN providers? From what I see in that thread, most providers tend to just ignore those notices, right? Lines up with my experience too - I don't think I've ever heard of any VPN servers being shut down because of DMCA violations.

    Is anybody using gethomepage.dev for the homelab dashboard?

    I use Heimdall since it's the first thing I saw when first setting up my home server, but I've seen this a lot and have been meaning to switch. Need to compare with some of the alternatives like Homarr first though, and haven't had the time to do that.

    FS: Keyboard and Mice Keychron K8 Pro Wireless Mechanical Keyboard & Tai Ho Miami PBT Doubleshot keycaps

    Man, this would be very tempting, but after using TKL for a while I realized I need to stick to full-size. Looks like a great deal, GLWS!

    The "14 Eyes" thing isn't really relevant if you live in India IMO - the entire point of alliances like that is to provide a legal loophole through which countries can spy on their citizens by proxy, since doing it directly is forbidden by their own laws. India has plenty of exemptions for the...

    SSD and RAM

    Pretty sure Gen 4 is backwards compatible with Gen 3, so you should be able to use Gen 4 drives just fine; only catch is that it'll be at Gen 3 speeds, which shouldn't be a problem for most people.

    Windows Jellyfin thread for questions and answers

    Yeah, that's why I use it for remote streaming, but setting it up for other users to use can be complicated, especially if they're not tech savvy enough to remember that Tailscale needs to be on for the streaming to work. Not required, but helpful if device IPs are changing frequently...

    Windows Jellyfin thread for questions and answers

    I would say that setting the static IP as part of the DHCP reserved range would be a good idea since OP turns off the server regularly, meaning that there's a chance that the router could assign that IP to another device while the server is off.

    Windows Jellyfin thread for questions and answers

    Unless you've configured it to write metadata or have some plugins doing stuff like that, my understanding is that Jellyfin doesn't touch your media folders except to delete stuff. It shouldn't - if your Chromecast and Jellyfin server are on the same network, it won't touch your internet except...
