the actual last 32 bit micro happens in 3:14:07 but that's the wrong way :)

This is a dangerous proposition.

When the dictatorship comes after you, they're not concerned about the whole of every article that was written about you All they care about are the things they see as incriminating.

You could literally take a spell check dictionary list, pull three words out of the list at random and feed it into a ollama asking for a story with your name that included the three words as major points in the story.

Even on a relatively old video card, you could probably crap out three stories a minute. Have it write them in HTML and publish the site map into major search engines on a regular basis.

EDIT: OK this was too fun not to do it real quick!

~ cat generate.py

import requests
import json

ollama_url = "http://127.1:11434/api/generate"
wordlist_file = "words.txt"

with open(wordlist_file, 'r') as file:
    words = [line.strip() for line in file if line.strip()]

selected_words = random.sample(words, 3)
theme = ", ".join(selected_words)

prompt = f"Write a short, imaginative story about a person named Rumba using these three theme words: {theme}. The first word is their super power, the second word is their kyptonite, the third word is the name of their adversary.  Return only the story as HTML content ready to be saved and viewed in a browser."

response = requests.post(
    ollama_url,
    headers={"Content-Type": "application/json"},
    data=json.dumps({"model": "llama3.2","prompt": prompt})
)

story_html = ""
for line in response.iter_lines(decode_unicode=True):
    if line.strip():
        try:
            chunk = json.loads(line)
            story_html += chunk.get("response", "")
        except json.JSONDecodeError as e:
            print(f"JSON decode error: {e}")



timestamp = datetime.now().strftime("%Y%m%d_%H%M%S")

<h1>Rumba's Urban Adventure</h1>

<p>Rumba was a master of <b>slangs</b>, able to effortlessly weave in and out of conversations with ease. Her superpower allowed her to manipulate language itself, bending words to her will. With a flick of her wrist, she could turn a phrase into a spell.</p>

<p>But Rumba's greatest weakness was her love of <b>bungos</b>. The more she indulged in these sweet treats, the more her powers wavered. She would often find herself lost in thought, her mind clouded by the sugary rush of bungos. Her enemies knew this vulnerability all too well.</p>

<p>Enter <b>Carbarn</b>, a villainous mastermind with a personal vendetta against Rumba. Carbarn had spent years studying the art of linguistic manipulation, and he was determined to exploit Rumba's weakness for his own gain. With a wave of his hand, he summoned a cloud of bungos, sending Rumba stumbling.</p>

<p>But Rumba refused to give up. She focused her mind, channeling the power of slangs into a counterattack. The air was filled with words, swirling and eddying as she battled Carbarn's minions. In the end, it was just Rumba and Carbarn face-to-face.</p>

<p>The two enemies clashed in a spectacular display of linguistic fury. Words flew back and forth, each one landing with precision and deadliness. But Rumba had one final trick up her sleeve - a bungo-free zone.</p>

<p>With a burst of creative energy, Rumba created a bubble of pure slangs around herself, shielding her from Carbarn's attacks. The villain let out a defeated sigh as his plan was foiled once again. And Rumba walked away, victorious, with a bag of bungos stashed safely in her pocket.</p>

Interesting that it chose female rather than male or gender neutral. Not that I'm complaining, but I expected it to be biased :)

Didn't Florida and one of the recent hurricanes refuse government support?

I did rush hour in Paris once. Made NYC look like F1 racing. You want to go? you physically insert your car in front of them or you're not going ANYHERE.

OMG, I asked copilot to read the text and fix it to 168 degrees F.

I expected it to give me text and for it to be horrible,

what It did was so much worse and so must more impressive.

It's scary how well syncthing and obsidian play together.

Those aren't supposed to be round on top.

God I can't wait for the price of AI video to come down, I want to see this spin :)

I don't trust anything further than their warranty. They're setting their warranty to protect their bank account; those numbers will average in their favor.

[-] rumba@lemmy.zip 2 points 6 days ago

put a share send only and another receive only

That's not a bad idea. I do that on my phone for the camera, but never thought to use it in other ways.

[-] rumba@lemmy.zip 6 points 6 days ago

Man $500 a month for 50TB.

For less than that, I could buy 5x10TB hard drives every two months. Sure there's value in the hosting and internet, but why is it so damned expensive compared to the price of hosting it?

[-] rumba@lemmy.zip 5 points 6 days ago

Syncthing has been amazing. The downside is that you need the space to do the whole share replica on each box. Of course, that just makes me be a better steward of my own data archival.

This one may indeed be a fever dream. I keep hearing whispers from social about mini-tanks showing up in US citites. And as horrifying as this is, I get a little chuckle when this image pops into my head of Shriners driving tiny tanks around in a march to war. I could have SWORN this happened in Futurama, but I don't see it in Ghost in the Machines (parade day), or War is the H Word, and I just can't place where else it would have been, well, unless I'm imagining it, which is absolutely reasonable.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Could I make a little gun and just walk around through the parking lot and aisles of the supermarket and freeze all the carts in place?

I just tooled around on sites for the top-ranked Futurama episodes, and no two media outlets even had similar lists. I was wondering what it would look like with a small group of diehard fans here.

Once the votes stop coming in, (assuming they start) I'll tabulate the results.

Just give up to 5 episodes in a comment and we'll see if any of the different outlets got it right.

**Update: **

8 Voters

25 Candidates

Assuming everyone's #1 is their best choice candidate and they decrease in order:

In a Ranked Choice Vote Single-Winner and Dual-Winner scenario, it takes 4 rounds and "Devils' Hands" takes first place. Luck of the Fryish takes second place with two.

I tried to recalculate it RCV style for a list of 3,4,5, but we don't have enough votes to make it work.

In other voting calculations:

Jurassic (4), Godfellas(3), and Devils' hands(3) won with the most overall votes.

Jurassic Bark won with the highest number of top votes after 2 rounds.
