Peertube for long tech videos. You’ll find lots of linux people here. Sure, there’s pretty much everything else too, but that’s what I use Peertube for.

Odysee for a wide range of videos in general. Many youtubers have backed up their videos here.

Loops for short videos… more like a tiktok clone really.

Yeah, that title is just awful. When they have nothing interesting to write about, they use the title to intentionally mislead the readers. There should be laws against that.

Here’s the interesting part.

“We didn’t do any LLMs. There is significant interest in that. There are lots of people trying those ideas out, but I think they’re still in the exploratory phase,” Desai told El Reg.

As it turned out, the researchers didn’t need them. “We used a simpler model called a variational auto encoder (VAE). This model was established in 2013. It’s one of the early generative models,” Desai said.

By sticking with domain-specific models based on more mature architectures, Sandia also avoided hallucinations – the errors that arise when AI makes stuff up – which have become one of the biggest headaches associated with deploying generative AI.

“Hallucinations were not that big a concern here because we build a generative model that is tailored for this very specific task,” Desai explained.

Sorting by scaled helps a little bit, but some communities just post soooo much that they drown out everything else. In order to fix that you would need “multireddits”, which don’t exist on Lemmy.

For the time being, I recommend making two accounts and using one exclusively for subscribing to the really busy communities. The other one could be used for everything else. It’s also an opportunity to try out a different instance.

If you find that one feed is getting dominated by a single community again, you may need to create a third account to manage your subscriptions appropriately.

Get an external hard drive case and pop an old disk in it. Install Rockstor on the pi, configure it and you have a NAS for backups or whatnot. I’ve heard it’s also possible to upgrade it to a personal cloud storage, but I haven’t gone quite that far.

On top of that, the economics only make it harder. Those who take dirty shortcuts, will have lower CAPEX and maybe even OPEX. This gives them a competitive advantage compared to those companies that choose to follow a more sustainable path.

Same goes for various industries and energy production in general. Burning stuff is usually the easiest way to do it, but it comes with some serious long term consequences. Ideally, we would use renewables to produce electricity, and then use that electricity to heat things up when needed.

Unfortunately, large parts of various industries has been built around the idea of burning things instead of using electricity. In order to fully transition, we would need to completely rebuild many factories and radically modify countless others.

If you’ve already done a bit of programming, you can think of the terminal as a place that executes code. Just look at some bash scripts, and you’ll probably find it somewhat familiar.

Just like you can load new libraries, you can also install new commands on your system. You can think of each program as a function in some programming language such as Python.

What if there was a federated platform for supporting the channels you like? Maybe something like Patreon? Or how about some sort of merch store for people who can sell the things they make?

Industrial chemicals, huh? If there ever was a red flag for inciting fear, this is the one. A promising start with that headline.

On the other hand, I have no doubt that there are various compounds that inhibit microbial growth in the gut. Some of them are used in various industries, and some of them can be found in nature. Think of antibiotics, for example. Regardless, the article does raise some good points about regulation and the use of pesticides and other chemicals.

And then there’s also emotional maturity. If you don’t process your unpleasant emotions, you’ll end up reacting in unhealthy and unbalanced ways.

Turns out, asklemmy just banned that account for being a bot.

Posting this much isn’t normal. Looks very fishy to me.

Like a cab, but it’s your car and you take care of everything.

If you need a car only once a year when going to the airport, a cab will be cheaper. If you need to go somewhere at least once a week, driving your own car will be cheaper. Likewise, if you need only a little bit of cloud storage for your photos, free iCloud or Google Drive might be fine. If you need a whole lot of storage, self-hosting becomes cheaper.

When you take a cab, do you need to worry about maintenance, gasoline, insurance, or other things? No. The same goes for cloud storage. When you throw your photos on Google Drive, you don’t need to worry about electricity bills, security updates, or hardware maintenance.

When you drive your own car, you need to be a responsible driver and a car owner. Maintenance is your responsibility. Likewise, self-hosting means you need to be a responsible server admin.

I had a W10 phone at work. The OS and UI were nice, had no issues there. The app selection was a serious bottle neck though. Finding a good flashlight or a calculator was not a trivial task. Anything more complicated than that just simply didn’t exist.

So, Norwegians should be about a hairy as Turkish weight lifters?

Tardis would have been more familiar to me. Didn’t even remember that the Harry Potter movies had a bag of holding references.

I really like the idea of having my own server, where I could have a bunch of cool stuff like email, VPN, Nextcloud, and so much more. The primary reason why I don’t have a server like that, is because I can’t trust myself to follow the best practices. For a while now, I’ve been thinking that I should hire a proper professional to take care of all that.

Yeah well, passive components are nice, but occasionally you just need to spend some energy to keep the components doing its thing.
