I’m judge JimBob and I suddenly have a great interest in whatever I was told to because I deeply care about the people was definitely not given millions in stock for large companies

Those fuckers. 24 hour fitness was mine but same bullshit. Had to call a call center in India which game me the runaround for an hour trying to cancel. Then best of it, they wouldn’t let me cancel my wife’s subscription that was coming off my credit card, said she had to call in and do the same even though it was my credit card and she was standing right next to me.

Then they had the gall to say I owed at least 3 more months because of what I gather is bullshit.

That’s the only time I’ve ever done a charge back on my credit card. Fuckers. Best part is the charge back revoked the last few months of payments too, my credit card person was super nice. So by pushing for 3 months extra that they didn’t eat or deserve, it pushed me to charge back and they ended up losing 3 months from both my wife and I, effectively giving us those last 3 months for free.

I like the look of exui, but is there a way to run it without torch or needing a GPU? I have tabby running on a separate computer, like SillyTavern I just want to connect to the API, not host it locally

Only a couple years away man! Self driving cars, living on Mars, so close!

I think they’re similar enough where it could work, and thinking about it from mastodon too it’s essentially just a long trail of messages. It wouldn’t be a plugin system (I’m real sick of business people telling me to just ‘plug in’ my code), but I don’t think it’s impossible

That would be awesome!

I would love to see integration with the fediverse. There’s still a few forums I jump in on every once in a while, but it’s so hard to keep up. I’d love it if I could see them here via federation

Ok torn on this. Against censorship 100% by governments. Also against using CSAM as an excuse. But discord IS rank with abuse like that, and they aren’t really doing much to curtail it

Another great point, if I lose my Linux isos, sucks but I’ll redownload. If I lose my family videos, sucks but I’ll log into my backups and resync. If I lose my credentials I’m fucked. Plain fucked. I can’t decrypt my backups, can’t log into services, it’s done.

I don’t, specifically because I don’t trust myself to host that. I know what people will say here, but I trust 1pass way more than I could do it myself.

1pass uses your password plus a secret key to generate your full “password”, meaning you need both to access your vault. The password you memorize, the key you keep safe somewhere (inside the vault is even good, since you probably have it open on another device should you need it). They publish their docs, and show how they encrypt your vaults. To them, your vaults are truly just random bytes they store in blob storage. They don’t store your key, they don’t store your password, they will not help you out if you lock yourself out. That’s the level of security I want for a password vault. If they ever get breached, which hey, it can happen, the most someone will get is a random blob of data, which then I’d go and probably generate a new password and reencrypt everything again anyway.

Vs me hosting myself, I’m sure the code is good - but I don’t trust myself to host that data. There’s too many points of failure. I could set up encryption wrong, I could expose a bad port, if someone gained access to my network I don’t trust that they wouldn’t find some way to access my vaults. It’s just too likely I have a bad config somewhere that would open everything up. Plus then it’s on me to upgrade immediately if there’s a zero day, something I’m more likely to miss.

I know, on the selfhosted community this is heresy, but this is the one thing I don’t self host, I leave it to true security researchers.

Just remember when choosing a license - are you okay with Amazon taking it and using it in their latest billion dollar show on prime video without giving you any credit or money? If so, full on open source away. Otherwise there are licenses you can grant that will allow others to use it for free, but not large corporations. Shop around the licenses

Speakers at home. Nothing compared to dynamic range there.

Over the ear headphones on planes. More comfortable for longer wears, good sound quality, and they block out the crying baby if you get active noise cancelling

Ear buds for short rides on the bus/train. Pop em in and go

Hell I don’t even buy “New” on Amazon anymore, it’s all way too shady. If I want a 3d printed novelty I’ll go there, but something I need to know won’t catch fire? No way.

Have used it, it works well

I think they might be thinking of something like thin clients, if I were to guess, and a server they would connect to. But yes good call out for the XY problem.

Connecting multiple users to Ubuntu is probably pretty difficult. Setting up a server for thin clients is pretty easy

Neat! I’ll check it out!

Anything better you know of? Most of my usage now with it is through its api

I’m not 100% what you’re asking for, but I use text-generation-webui for all of my local generation needs.

Ah I’ll clarify that I set mine up next to the system drive in proxmox, through the proxmox zfs helper program. There was probably something in there that set up settings in a weird way

No idea why you’re getting downvoted, it’s absolutely correct and it’s called out in the official proxmox docs and forums. Proxmox logs and journals directly to the zfs array regularly, to the point of drive destroying amounts of writes.
