We’re in an online echo chamber, we don’t need to look at reality. Just find the opinions that we agree with, and agree with us, and put 'em at the top!
- Comment on Router died - Replacement/solution recommendations 2 months ago:
Good points. It’s strange to me to think of routers and APs as just computers, or things that can be run off of a mini-PC or some kind of raspberry pi, but it seems like it’s entirely feasible to build up your network with those.
- Comment on Router died - Replacement/solution recommendations 2 months ago:
That’s seems to be what I keep coming back to over the past few days. The UCG Ultra looks perfect for what I need - I don’t want a router and AP in one device, nor do I need any of the security software that other Unifi devices seem to have - I run those separately. I think the UI and dashboards are what are really pushing me towards Ubiquiti, they look really great for displaying the info I want to see

No issues or anything so far with the Unifi devices? That’s good to hear. Do you have any third-party integrations with your Unifi devices, or is it as locked of an ecosystem as I’ve read others say? I don’t think I’d mind taking the plunge, as long as it has good customer service and support.

I’ve had issues with .local on my Android device. Straight up doesn’t work. I had to change to .lan

Ah, I see. Looks like some other people in this thread gave you some good info, I’ll have to keep this in mind if I ever need to change my approach. Happy to hear you got a good answer!

My solution to this was a radicale docker container, with DAVx5 on f-droid. Very lightweight, just works without much configuration needed. I don’t use my phone for email much, so I just use thunderbird for my email client
- Comment on Study finds that Chat GPT will cheat when given the opportunity and lie to cover it up later. 11 months ago:
I suppose the issue here is more semantics than anything, yeah. I think better discussion would be had if the topic was “how can we help LLMs better understand and present information,” as opposed to a more sensational “GPT will cheat and lie”

I think the reason I’m not comfortable with using the term “lying” is because it implies some sort of negative connotation. When you say that someone lies, it comes with an understanding that they made a choice to lie, usually with ill intent. I agree, we don’t need to get into a philosophical discussion on choice and free will. But I think saying something like “GPT lies” is a bit irresponsible for the purposes of a discussion

They said “it just repeats words that simulate human responses,” and I’d say that concisely answers your question.
Antropomorphizing inanimate objects and machines is fine for offering a rough explanation of what is happening, but when you’re trying to critically evaluate something, you probably want to offer a more rigid understanding.
In this case, it might be fair to tell a child that the AI is lying to us, and that it’s wrong. But if you want a more serious discussion on what GPT is doing, you’re going to have to drop the simple explanation. You can’t ascribe ethics to what GPT is doing here. Lying is an ethical decision, one that GPT doesn’t make.
- Comment on Docker containers can no longer communicate with the host's local network 1 year ago:
Hmm, I’ve never looked into qemu. Do you use a GPU in your environment? It passes through to your Windows VM fine?
- Comment on Docker containers can no longer communicate with the host's local network 1 year ago:
On my host PC (Windows Server), I’m already running a VM in Hyper-V that operates behind a VPN for my *arr environment. I’m worried about resources and resource allocation if I add another VM just for docker. Basically I’m looking at 3 environments - Windows Server for my windows stuff, Debian server for my *arr stuff (this all has to be behind a VPN), and a Linux docker environment. It makes sense to me to go the Proxmox route now that I’ve considered it, don’t you think? Not asking because I’m trying to convince you, just interested in others perspectives.
- Comment on Docker containers can no longer communicate with the host's local network 1 year ago:
That’s what I’ve been seeing, but I run enough stuff on Windows that has poor support for Linux that makes it a toss-up. Do you think it’s feasible to run Docker on Linux in a Hyper-V container on Windows? I’m really trying to evaluate my options, I’ve considered Proxmox to separate my Windows and Linux stuff; currently I am running an instance of Ubuntu in Hyper-V for my Linux stuff. Do you think Proxmox is more viable?
