Macs aren't the only thing that use mDNS, either. I have a host monitoring solution that I wrote that uses it.

Yeah, that's why I started using .lan.

I was using .local, but it ran into too many conflicts with an mDNS service I host and vice versa. I switched to .lan, but I'm certainly not going to switch to .internal unless another conflict surfaces.

I've also developed a host-monitoring solution that uses mDNS, so I'm not about to break my own software. 😅

Coincidentally, I just found this other thread that mentions EasyEffects: https://programming.dev/post/17612973

You might be able to use a virtual device to get it working for your use case.

I consider it a big deal. I'm clicking "Not Now" buttons all day when I just want to use a piece of software for its main purpose. And then because it says "Not Now" I get asked again and again and again.

I just wanted to update this to mention that there are a lot of custom low level performance improvements for CPU based inferencing in Llamafile: https://justine.lol/matmul/

It's just a different use case to create a single-file large language model engine that automatically chooses the "best" parameters to run under. It uses llama.cpp under the hood.

The intent is to make it as easy as double clicking a binary to get up and running.

I would buy this argument if the US had any effective consumer privacy laws in the first place and Byte Dance was flagrantly ignoring them.

The issue of course is that the US doesn't want to cripple their own social media companies by passing laws that everyone has to follow in the first place.

I agree with this, especially because this hasn't pushed any discussion forward about federal level consumer privacy laws in the United States.

Try a dry soft bristle toothbrush. I keep a few around to clean various electronics.

Thank you! I was struggling to remember the proposal name.

Google was working on a feature that would do just that, but I can't recall the name of it.

They backed down for now due to public outcry, but I expect they're just biding their time.
