- Comment on Retro games worth picking up on Android? 4 days ago:
I use an 8bitdo SN30 Pro + 8Bitdo Smartphone Clip together with emulators on my phone to enjoy Gameboy, SNES and PSX, I’ve also tried emulating some newer consoles but my phone is a bit weak for that.
There’s a ton of great controllers to turn your phone into a proper gaming device, I chose the 8Bitdo because I can also use it with my computer over Bluetooth.
But if that isn’t a consideration then I would probably go for one of those that has passthrough USB-C Charging so you can charge both controller and phone while playing.Before I got the controller I mostly played Gameboy Pokemon games on my phone.
- Comment on A woman made her AI voice clone say “arse.” Then she got banned. 6 days ago:
Does that mean that you consider the temporary loss of her voice the same harm as if she would’ve lost access permanently?
Do keep in mind I do not believe the banning to be ok either - but I’d rather have a company where the human factor sometimes fails that can properly undo their mistake and apologize than something like Meta where you cannot even get in touch with a human if something gets flagged.
The extreme of a company that never does a mistake would of course be the best but that’s never going to happen.I hope for the self hosted solution that @singletona@lemmy.world mentioned to become reality, both for people like Joyce and because it would be a step towards self hosted voice assistants for those of us that refuse to use cloud based ones.
When I first asked Sophia Noel, a company representative, about the incident, she directed me to the company’s prohibited use policy.
There are rules against threatening child safety, engaging in illegal behavior, providing medical advice, impersonating others, interfering with elections, and more.
But there’s nothing specifically about inappropriate language. I asked Noel about this, and she said that Joyce’s remark was most likely interpreted as a threat.[…]
Joyce doesn’t hold a grudge—and her experience is far from universal.
Jules uses the same technology, but he hasn’t received any warnings about his language—even though a comedy routine he performs using his voice clone contains plenty of curse words, says his wife, Maria.
He opened a recent set by yelling “Fuck you guys!” at the audience—his way of ensuring they don’t give him any pity laughs, he joked.
That comedy set is even promoted on the ElevenLabs website.Blank says language like that used by Joyce is no longer restricted.
“There is no specific swear ban that I know of,” says Noel.
That’s just as well. - Comment on Should I DIY this? (Electrical) 1 week ago:
If you have the materials then ask your brother-in-law if he’ll come give you a hand in return for dinner or something.
If you’re uncertain enough to ask if you should do it on your own you shouldn’t do it on your own when it comes to electrical wiring in the house. - Comment on A woman made her AI voice clone say “arse.” Then she got banned. 1 week ago:
And then she got an apology and got her account reinstated by ElevenLabs.

I just keep the installers on my NAS, together with whatever dlc installers, patches and mods I deem necessary. With the current prices of 12-18tb hdd drives it doesn’t cost much to keep em there.

Here’s another one putting the blame on them not investing in OpenAI:
reuters.com/…/how-chip-giant-intel-spurned-openai…At the same time Intel is definitely entering the race, and more competition is always nice:
Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella also appeared at the Intel event, where he announced that his company will use Intel’s relaunched foundry to make future chips.
In 2022, the US government passed the CHIPS Act promising $52 billion to reinvigorate domestic chipmaking and secure silicon supply lines.
According to a Bloomberg report, Intel is in line to receive $10 billion of that money.Or this piece about creating an open-source software competitor for Nvidia, among other things:
Also importantly, Intel is spearheading a consortium of heavy hitters that are developing open-source software which can interface with all AI chips.
Such software would eliminate Nvidia’s (NASDAQ:NVDA) biggest competitive advantage: its software, which enables its chips to be easily managed simultaneously.
Intel’s consortium also includes Arm (NASDAQ:ARM), Alphabet (NASDAQ:GOOG, GOOGL), and Broadcom (NASDAQ:AVGO).
It expects to unveil a finished product by the end of this year.Corporate / Enterprise AI solution with quite a customer/partner list:
[…]customers and partners, including Bharti Airtel, Bosch, CtrlS, IBM, IFF, Landing AI, Ola, NAVER, NielsenIQ, Roboflow and Seekr.
They’re starting to release tools to use Intel ARC for AI tasks, such as AI Playground and IPEX LLM:

I used to think a lot about up-gradability before but often find that when a cpu is too slow then it is also so old that I have to change the motherboard and ram too for compatibility reasons.
Same thing with the motherboard, if it fails I’ve never had it be new enough that I can bring my cpu and ram with me to my next motherboard (unless buying an older motherboard second hand).
And many of my disks will be old enough that I want to replace them too, at least if they have anything important on them.Only things I’ve brought with me when upgrading desktops have been my case (including fans), psu, gpu and (some) disks.
Having a quiet and dust proof case that is easy to build in and a good psu that cultists.network/140/psu-tier-list/ endorses has become higher priority to me since then, as I know they might last me more than one build. - Comment on What self hosting feels like (It's painful, please help 🥲) 6 months ago:
Alternatively, you can create new users from the command line.
This can be done as follows:If synapse was installed via pip, activate the virtualenv as follows (if Synapse was installed via a prebuilt package, register_new_matrix_user should already be on the search path):
cd ~/synapse
source env/bin/activate
synctl start # if not already running
Run the following command:
register_new_matrix_user -c homeserver.yaml
This will prompt you to add details for the new user, and will then connect to the running Synapse to create the new user. For example:New user localpart: erikj
Password:
Confirm password:
Make admin [no]:
Success!This process uses a setting registration_shared_secret, which is shared between Synapse itself and the register_new_matrix_user script.
It doesn’t matter what it is (a random value is generated by --generate-config), but it should be kept secret, as anyone with knowledge of it can register users, including admin accounts, on your server even if enable_registration is false. - Comment on Pfsense, Opensense and OpenWRT - what's the deal? 6 months ago:

- Comment on Pfsense, Opensense and OpenWRT - what's the deal? 6 months ago:
pfsense and opnsense are very similar. The pfsense devs has acted like jackasses towards the opnsense gang. They are both great for a router/firewall/vpn device. I would use external access points with them.
I think there are more addons to pfsense than opnsense.OpenWrt is great when it comes to WiFi, but I find it much less intuitive to use for router/firewall parts. Could be that I am used to the way pfsense and opnsense do things.
Neither do switching from what I know, so pair the router with a switch of your choice.
- Comment on Warframe devs report 80% of game crashes happen on Intel's overclockable Core i9 chips — Core i7 K-series CPUs also have high crash rates 7 months ago:
Next time I build a PC, I plan to spend extra on hardware that can run games decently while producing as little heat as possible. My current PC is like a space heater when it’s running and it’s unbearable to play games on it for any extended periods during the summer months.
The only reason I went for an 80+ Platinum PSU instead of an 80+ Bronze PSU is to make it generate less heat (and the fact that the platinum had a really nice price at the time). Doing it for power savings isn’t worth it, but getting a cooler case is nice.

I consider client devices to be a big risk factor and if I can keep them from having direct access to the Backup NAS and the IoT I consider that a big win. A simple ransomware attack on a client device would find any NFS/SMB shares the client can access and start encrypting - having the Backup NAS on a separate VLAN that only the server can access stops most of those from affecting the backup and makes restoring a lot easier. I would definitely recommend having an offline backup of the NAS as well in case of the server being breached.
