Those three tags for promo posts seems like a pretty good compromise, don’t really have any better suggestions for the exact acronyms or tag specific descriptions. I use LLMs for personal and work but I don’t post promotional material about any of it, I think most people using AI for personal side-projects aren’t making promo posts about it either, so already this won’t affect most people. The most vocal users in Lemmy selfhosted are going to downvote the hell out of anything that has an AGENTS.md or a single commit that smells AI-generated regardless of the tags, this will mostly speed up the dogpiling.

Looks like a cloud with a shine flare effect on it to me

VLC on mobile or desktop, SD card music folder synced with desktop and server

They have shipped out an update mitigation for the issue. http://ubuntu.com/blog/copy-fail-vulnerability-fixes-available

sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade

and after that, also do the steps listed on that page for running rmmod and grepping for the affected module unloaded

Centralization strikes again

Yeah, the example repositories’ license files explicitly state:

Please note that the Survey Creator component is proprietary software and requires a developer license to be integrated and used in your own application.

If the Survey Creator component is the part everything else is using to make the magic happen, then it’s definitely not open source

Finally, we’ve managed to shove crypto directly into social media interaction itself. If only there was some way to shove AI into it. Maybe add some NFT’s while you’re at it?

Maybe skim this recent post? https://lemmy.world/post/43616899 Lot of folks chimed in about their opinions on many different wiki approaches, my takeaway was that Bookstack looked like something I’d wanna use in the future, but there’s a lot of stuff covered in there.

I’ve got some Western Digital and Samsung HDDs I bought refurbished a while ago in a RAID10 configuration for 4 TB total. Recently setup backups to that and an SSD, the read/write speeds are slow but tolerable and I’m not doing anything that needs high throughput. For backups from multiple machines, it does the job and I make sure to upload the encrypted backups to remote storage once a month so if there’s any catastrophic data loss on my end it’s all recoverable.

Break-even in: Never

Nice, my hardware is doing pretty good! :3

Yeah Linux likes to fill the cache entirely. If you want it to do that less and performance isn’t a concern, set up something that drops the caches every few hours running this as root: echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches

I get good mileage out of the Jan client and Void editor, various models will work but Jan-4B tends to do OK, maybe a Meta-Llama model could do alright too. The Jan client has settings where you can start up a local OpenAI-compatible server, and Void can be configured to point to that localhost URL+port and specific models. If you want to go the extra mile for privacy and you’re on a Linux distro, install firejail from your package manager and run both Void and Jan inside the same namespace with outside networking disabled so it only can talk on localhost. E.g.: firejail --noprofile --net=none --name=nameGoesHere Jan and firejail --noprofile --net=none --join=nameGoesHere void, where one of them sets up the namespace (–name=) and the other one joins the namespace (–join=)

FUTO is both a company (LLC, to be specific) and a rich guy.

Is that what they were doing? I haven’t seen videos of them ‘platforming’ Curtis so I don’t know whether they were helping him proliferate any specific message

Based on FUTO’s own response, they don’t put logos on the front page to “simplify things”. I think that’s a little weird. Is source-available distinct from open source? Still not sure how that makes them “evil” though, starting to think user Novi Sad might have been making a joke by calling them evil, perhaps being playful.

Wow, he does sound pretty nasty, that’s messed up. I don’t see though how FUTO interviewing a bad person makes the organization evil though.

Oh, thanks, this is the first I’ve ever heard of Curtis Yarvin. Did he say anything bad during those opportunities to speak? I’m not sure it’s “evil” to interview someone.

Does anyone have a TLDR of Drew’s article here? I’ve seen enough of his keyboard-warrior frothing opinions and vitriolic rhetoric from his blog to avoid trusting it without some third party sources to back up his claims about things.

I’ve used Devuan before with decent success, I run it as a server on an ancient netbook with 1Ghz and 2GB RAM. Works pretty well, but bear in mind so much has become entangled with the expectations of systemd that as more packages get installed you may find things that break. As an example, apt gets an error every time it does anything because Mullvad VPN software has a configuration step that expects systemd functionality, and obviously that won’t work on Devuan. The program itself works fine, just have to start it a little differently, but it means that apt functionality always returns an error, which itself breaks any other scripts you may run that have steps that use apt. I had to do a lot of manual patching for PiHole scripting to get that installed because every time it would run anything with apt it thought there was a showstopping error simply because Mullvad complained during apt configurations.

Thanks for the “incoherent rant”, I’m setting some stuff up with Anubis and Caddy so hearing your story was very welcome :)
