Apparently you can save it to Google drive then download the Google drive program and make that folder available offline so it downloads it to the computer.

When you setup the Google Takeout export choose Save in a Google Drive folder
Install the Google Drive PC client (Drive for desktop)
It will create a new drive (i.e. G:) in your explorer. Right click on the takeout folder and select "Make available offline". All files in that folder will be downloaded by the Google Drive Desktop in the background, and you will be able to copy to another location, as they will be local files.

LAPD warns residents after spike in burglaries using Wi-Fi jammers that disable security cameras, smart doorbells in c/technology

Yes but the camera should be in a place that can't be physically tampered with easily since someone could theoretically unplug the camera and plug into your home network and see all your computers or other devices as if they had stolen your WiFi password. A small risk but it's better to hardwire it somewhere they would need a ladder to get to or get a camera system that connects to a central box inside the house.

Wait, not like that in c/microblogmemes

I think that was Edison using AC. Apparently it was not part of the war of the currents. https://www.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrocuting_an_Elephant

If you haven't played Enderal it's worth a playthrough. It's a free total conversion mod of Skyrim.

Pros and cons of Proxmox in a home lab? in c/selfhosted

[–] habitualTartare 1 points 6 months ago

I'm using a commercial desktop with an i5 Sandy bridge. I maxed out to 32Gb of ram only because I'm running trueNAS, debian with containers, and home assistant. Most RAM goes to trueNAS and trueNAS doesn't accurately report ram. For CPU, mostly just task limited but I don't really think thats a proxmox issue. Obviously it's not going to support an enterprise or even small business but it works for what I need of less than 4 users on my budget.

Proxmox doesn't really ask for much but I probably would recommend docker for your arm devices.

Is there a simple way to severly impede webscraping and LLM data collection of my website? in c/[email protected]

[–] habitualTartare 10 points 6 months ago

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robots.txt

Should cover any polite web crawlers but it is voluntary.

Might have to put it behind a captcha or other type to severely limit automated access.

It's not realistic to assume it won't get scraped eventually. Such as someone paying people to bypass capatcha or web crawlers that don't respect robots.txt. I also don't know if Google and Microsoft bundle their AI data collection that doesn't also remove your site from web search.

US sets stage for antitrust probes into Microsoft, OpenAI and Nvidia in c/[email protected]

[–] habitualTartare 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

OpenAI may have grown a bit fast in relation to the ai hype craze so I don't know if it'll hold much water on an anti trust. Nvidia competes with competitors with things like GPUs but is pretty far ahead with ai chips and some data center ai related products. It will be interesting to see if either will go anywhere.
