Why is healthline so high on the block/lower list? (Excluding Pinterest)

IMO I like the fact that they link sources to their claims, which is very rare on the current web. I think of it as a somewhat trustable source of information. Am I wrong?

Healthline is not a trustworthy site- See Wikipedia discussion: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/N...?
computer23 commented on The first release of OpenVox, the OSS implementation of Puppet   overlookinfratech.com/202... · Posted by u/mooreds

1. I didn't realize puppet was open core.

2. OpenVox sounds like a text to speech engine.

3. What is the main use case of Puppet / OpenVox in 2025? Same as always? Isn't CM a lot less relevant in the age of platforms like Flatcar and Bottlerocket?

4. Why fork puppet instead of contributing to ansible or salt?

> OpenVox sounds like a text to speech engine.

Reminds me of the (bad) plot element from Star Trek: Picard where Picard's son became "Vox" and was able to control people on behalf of the Borg.

I covered a few potential use cases in my blog post [1], but I'll list them here for brevity:

1. LLMs / AI: you can run llama2:13b on the Pi 5 natively, though at a pokey 1.4 t/s or so. Training small models for use with camera projects is easier too.

2. Web apps / consolidating containers: You could run a few 'beefy' websites off one Pi, as they're often memory constrained more than CPU-bound nowadays (my Drupal site requires 256 MB per PHP thread). (Though an N100 mini PC could be a better option if you care less about the energy efficiency).

3. Experimental gamers (probably like 1/10,000th the size of the other markets) who want to run modern AAA games with eGPUs on arm64... I'm one of like 10 people I've heard of who have attempted this lol

4. Clustering enthusiasts: usually we have more dollars than sense, and having arm64 nodes that cost $120 new with 16 GB of RAM per node means we can have more raw container or MPI capacity than with 8 GB nodes...

Jeff,

Price is precisely linear, not polynomial! $5/GiB (price= $40 + $5 * xGiB)

The graph isn't spaced correctly on the x axis, which causes confusion.

Is there a recommended (best practice) way to nmap scan your network for vulnerable machines, just to be safe?

From Red Hat's statement: > Red Hat rates these issues with a severity impact of Important. While all versions of RHEL are affected, it is important to note that affected packages are not vulnerable in their default configuration.

Basically, Red Hat machines aren't vulnerable unless "the cups-browsed service has manually been enabled or started."

Elon Musk says: "My commitment:

- We will never seek victory in a just case against us, even if we will probably win.

- We will never surrender/settle an unjust case against us, even if we will probably lose. "

And yet Elon Musk filed harassing lawsuits against his critics Media Matters for America and the Center for Countering Digital Hate.

Musk's SLAPP suits are contrary to his purported love of free speech. They are manifestly unjust.

People need to stop using the word "sideloading". It's just loading. The normal behavior is to allow apps to be installed from any source.

I noticed Microsoft's developer documentation uses the word sideloading a lot: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/maui/windows/deploy...
