Update?

Makes me think of that shitty grippy rubber material on cheap mice that becomes gooey with time. I would treat those as euclid until further testing

What about it?

Alternatively, use a closed ecosystem susceptible to data rot and loss.

Would you want art to be unfindable because scraping for AI image generation happens? It’s a solution looking for problems.

+1 for Proxmox, has been a fun experience as there are plenty of resources and helper scripts to get you off the ground, jellyfin was the first thing I migrated from my PC, hardware encoding may give you a bit of a tussle but nothing unsolveable. Also note Proxmox is Debian under the hood, so you may find it easy to work with. I looked into unraid, it seems great if all you’re doing for the most part is storage, if you want Linux containers and virtual machines, proxmox js your bet.

I got a small 4 bay 2U server from a friend on the cheap, 1000$ should get you relatively nice new or slightly older used hardware. Even just a PC with a nice amount of drive bays will get you started. And drives are cheap, a raid 1 setup was one of the things I did.

In the end I’ll likely get a separate NAS rack server just to segregate functions, but as of now I simply have a Proxmox LXC mounted to my NAS drives and runs samba to expose them.

Tailscale is a nice set and forget solution for VPN access, I ended up going the route of getting an SSL certified domain and beefing up my firewall a bit. The bit I’ve messed with it it certainly has a learning curve greater than openvpn, but is much more hardened and versatile.

As for pihole, I’ve found AdGuard Home to be just about a suitable replacement, and can be installed along openwrt, though I have a bit of an unconventional router with 512MB of RAM so YMMV

Im just happy my cracked apk somehow still works. Lol

Antidepressants

It was a good joke, I lol’d :)

charged with conspiracy to commit wire fraud, wire fraud, and conspiracy to commit money laundering

It seems that they went to great depth to make this happen

And we’ll put a series of ads to round it up to 1 hour, brilliant!

Hey! Maybe he’s too wasted to think of anything else

So four months til GPT starts calling everyone “kitten”

I got a 1U 32GB and a 4 core Xeon for 20$, you just have to make at least 3 more posts

Imagine the absolutely massive grave they would have themselves if we were still in the golden age of console gaming, I hope not any more than now

It is fun when its intentional

I learned a valuable lesson about tangles

Was like reddit karma keeping track of up/downvotes, could tell an obvious troll from a mile away

Gramps needed his excel icon - on the monitor I might add - or else. Debloat and activation scripts got him his windows 7 and office 2007 experience back, he was very appreciative of my “hack”, merely for the same experience he paid for back some 15 years.

He doesn’t know what a “Linux” is, but I am greatful that people are still invested enough to make utilities to return back to a more user centric experience in windows - even if I certainly don’t care to go back

Makes me miss lemmy karma

Regardless of its effectiveness, it will be fun to see that text regurgitated

It does help to know what those funny letters mean. Now we wait for regulators to catch up…

If anything, we’re a very long way from anything close to intelligent, OpenAI (and subsequently MS, being publicly traded) sold investors on the pretense that LLMs are close to being “AGI” and now more and more data is necessary to achieving that.

If you know the internet, you know there’s a lot of garbage. I for one can’t wait for garbage-in garbage-out to start taking its toll.

Also I’m surprised how well open source models have shaped up, its certainly worth a look. I occasionally use a local model for “brainstorming” in the loosest terms, as I generally know what I’m expecting, but it’s sometimes helpful to read tasks laid out. Also comfort in that nothing even need leave my network, and even in a pinch I got some answers when my network was offline.

It gives a little hope while corps get to blatantly violate copyright while having wielding it so heavily, that advancements have been so great in open source.
