  • How do you feel about bots automatically reposting content from Reddit onto Lemmy?
  • Elegast Elegast Now 100%

    undefined> One of things I like about Lemmy is that you can create a link post and still include text and subsequent links.

    yeah that I really like as well. I can like an image that provides content to the community, but also still talk in the op rather than having to say "more info in comments" or something stupid like that.

  • Just added the tablet live dashboard to my ever-changing sim racing rig. I really like the way it turned out. It's just an old Galaxy Tab4 attached to the desk with a car mount. Running SimHub and Simhub Android app. It allowed me to stop using RaceLabs Advanced Panel Overlay which I was looking to do. Plus it looks neat.

    How do you feel about bots automatically reposting content from Reddit onto Lemmy?
  • Elegast Elegast Now 100%

    Not a huge fan, but I understand the thinking.

    My issue with it, is let's say there's a self post and I respond to it. Knowing it's a bot post, I still want to contribute to the community, but I know I'm unlikely to get a response. It's possible it could start a conversation here though.

    I get its a way to fill the communities with content, but it feels like a half baked attempt. Or an inflation of interactions.

    Not sure the right route in these early days though.

    I've been rocking OTA 2.9 on my Polestar 2 for a few weeks now, and I have to say, it's been an impressive update. One of the standout features for me has been the improved efficiency app. It's a fantastic addition that I've been enjoying watching the graph change based on my driving and the road. There was a poll a while back about Pilot Assist holding too far to the right or left. It was interesting to see mixed responses. Some folks agreed while others claimed they hadn't experienced the issue at all. I was one of the unlucky ones who experienced a problem on a particular stretch of highway where Pilot Assist would uncomfortably stick to the right side of the lane. However, with update 2.9, I haven't encountered this problem again on the same stretch of road. It's worth noting that there haven't been any documented changes to how Pilot Assist functions, nor any modifications to the road (like repainting the lane markings, for instance). All in all, I believe the 2.9 update is a significant step in the right direction for the Polestar 2. It's great to see the company actively working on improving the driving experience. Kudos to the development team!

    Anyone else use their crappy old laptops to host servers? lol
  • Elegast Elegast Now 100%

    yep!

    I used to run an old Dell R610. Used a decent amount of power.

    Switched to an old 4th gen quadcore i7 laptop.

    Been running great, uses less power, has a built in display and keyboard.

    Linux base, Docker Env for most everything else.

    Cthulhu, wears an ugly sweater
  • Elegast Elegast Now 100%

    Cthulhu, the cosmic horror, received an unexpected gift from his grandmother, Shub'Niggurath—an ugly sweater.

    Despite its clash with his terrifying image, Cthulhu embraced the garment, finding it a symbol of familial love.

    As he wore the sweater, whispers spread, making him an enigmatic figure. The paradox intrigued cosmic beings, and Cthulhu's presence became associated with both terror and the power of love.

  • Inpainting/Outpainting is bonkers.
  • Elegast Elegast Now 100%

    "Inpainting" means asking the AI to refine part of an image while leaving the rest alone. For example, updating a portrait of your grandmother to have her wear a biker's jacket.

    "Outpainting" means asking the AI to expand the original image beyond its original borders, making a bigger image that's still based on the original. For example, extending the above image of your Grandmother in a biker's jacket to include her wearing jeans (and while we're at it, a motorcycle!)

    almost like painting with ai

    My obsession with sim racing has grown significantly, and I've thoroughly enjoyed pushing my limits to enhance my skills. I wanted to keep track of my progress and potentially participate in competitive events in Assetto Corsa. Fortunately, I stumbled upon some fantastic options for competitive racing. One of my personal favorites is the World Sim Series (WSS), which boasts a user-friendly web interface and offers a wide range of racing opportunities. Another exceptional choice is United Racing Data (URD), a comprehensive platform that caters to all your racing needs. For thrilling live hot lap competitions, I highly recommend checking out SetupsAndTimes and RSRLiveTiming. To experience a more realistic racing atmosphere, Sim Racing System (SRS) organizes races where participants are required to register using their legal names, ensuring fair competition. If you're interested in learning more, I've provided [additional details](https://blog.elegast.me/competitive-options-for-assetto-corsa/) about each of these options. Are there any other platforms you use that I haven't mentioned?

    Two ghostly figures emerged in the heart of Kyoto's rain-soaked streets, their silhouettes gliding silently through the mist. Whispers of a timeless love story echoed as they walked hand in ethereal hand, rekindling memories of a bygone era. Raindrops danced around them as if celebrating the eternal bond transcending life and death.
