Yep; sometimes I will be able to do a search and then when I try to click on a result it has me restart.

For anyone who is still confused about what causes this: Firefox launches copies of itself when creating new website instances (usually when loading a website that has not already been loaded). Because of this, if it is updated in the background (through any means; I usually see this after a manual system update), Firefox has to restart when you try and load a new site because it cannot create any compatible copies of itself, since the old version is the one that is still running and the copies would use the new (updated) version.

The solution is to only update when Firefox is closed, or restart it when it asks.

Regarding exit nodes, I have heard that Veilid does not distinguish normal nodes from exit nodes, meaning any node can be an exit node. However, I did not see this in their presentation, and the system seems to be more focused on peer-to-peer communication within the network than private accessing of outside web sources.

I think Lokinet and Veilid are two different solutions to the same problem. Lokinet is intentionally based on the block chain to prevent attacks, while Veilid is intentionally non-blockchain based. Additionally, Lokinet seems to be more similar to Tor in its makeup and purpose, but I can’t find any information on how the encryption functions to compare to Veilid’s.

For my (admittedly nonprofessional) use cases, I have found nothing that Krita, Gimp, or Inkscape could not handle. Honestly, I think the UI is equal or better as well.

I didn’t even know that, that’s pretty cool. I’ll have to try it later

The repository links to a list of examples, but the best way to learn is just to mess around with it. It is fairly intuitive to work with (especially if you have used another node-based UI before, like Blender).

The UI also has the ability to import/export your current setup (what I call a workflow) as a json file. If I get some time, I might share some of mine with a pastebin link or something.

The usefulness of ComfyUI is not just making one simple image. It is the ability to completely customize how that image is created.

For example, I have a workflow that generates a half-resolution preview image, then upscales the latent and puts it through two more sampling nodes. All three of the nodes have a different prompt input, with the focus slowly shifting to style instead of content.

I have also created a custom upscaling workflow, where the image is upscaled with normal upscaling, then re-encoded and put through just a few sampling steps, the re-encoded with a tiled VAE decoder (to save my VRAM). It creates much better results (more detail and control) than a direct ERSGAN upscale, and can even be put through ERSGAN afterward to get a super large image.

I would guess it’s one of three things:

1. You are using Windows instead of Linux for ROCm (I don’t know how much this affects performance, as I am only on Linux)
2. You are generating the batch all at the same time, instead of just doing multiple generations. This can lead to out-of-memory issues, as it is a larger image being generated.
3. You are not fully using the GPU. Does task manager say 100% utilization?

I’m also using ComfyUI. It just has the ability to do so much more than something like Automatic1111, even if it is missing a couple of features. For example, I have several workflows that do incremental changes to a photo, changing the prompt halfway through the generation, or even upscaling halfway through the generation.

I can’t really imagine going back, unless there is some killer feature that Comfy is missing.

When I first tried Helix, my main concern (that prevented me from getting too far into it) was not going from Vim to Helix, but the other way around. Vim (or sometimes vi) is a standard editor on almost any Linux machine, so if I am ever working on a server if a VM, I would need to know/use Vim keybinds. That made Vim a more useful tool for me to learn at the time, as I could use the skills both on my machine and anywhere else.

Was looking for a furry one, and pawb.social seemed to be well-run (since it was related to a couple of decently-sized Mastodon servers) and was generic enough (and not NSFW focused). There also seemed to be a decent number of technical people there as well (in fact, one of the Mastodon instances is furry.engineer), so it matched up with my other interests as well. I considered lemmyrs.org, but ended up not choosing it.
