So they're open-sourcing some minor glue to connect to an API of a big proprietary online service, or what's this about?

Thanks, nice video and seems he has some numbers. Very inhuman that they figured out exact numbers how it has an allowance to take out 15/20 bystanders as well. Or an entire elementary school if it's an high ranking "target".

I'm looking more for large-scale quantitative numbers. I mean one destroyed life us really bad. But they could argue they'd have saved 30 lives in turn, and then we'd need to discuss how to do the maths on that...

I'm not very surprised. I think even old-school face recognition does things like measure distance between your eyes, nose etc, and stuff like that (your skull) doesn't change a lot during 10 years of adulthood. The real danger is that they connect all of that information. And as you said, it's everywhere these days, they have a lot of sources and -of course- it's in the wrong hands.

Would be nice to get some numbers on the accuracy and performance of such a dystopian sci-fi technology (Minority Report?). There should be some, if it's already in operation for 13 years...
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How to reverse proxy?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:
Maybe have a look at https://nginxproxymanager.com as well. I don't know how difficult it is to install since I never used it, but I heard it has a relatively straight-forward graphical interface.

Configuring good old plain nginx isn't super complicated. It depends a bit on your specific setup, though. Generally, you'd put config files into /etc/nginx/sites-available/servicexyz (or put it in the default)
```
server {
    listen 80;
    server_name jellyfin.yourdomain.com;
    return 301 https://$server_name$request_uri;
}

server {
    listen 443 ssl;
    server_name jellyfin.yourdomain.com;

    ssl_certificate /etc/ssl/certs/your_ssl_certificate.crt;
    ssl_certificate_key /etc/ssl/private/your_private_key.key;
    ssl_protocols TLSv1.2 TLSv1.3;
    ssl_ciphers 'ECDHE-ECDSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256:ECDHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256:ECDHE-ECDSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384:ECDHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384';
    ssl_prefer_server_ciphers on;
    ssl_session_cache shared:SSL:10m;

    location / {
        proxy_pass http://127.0.0.1:8096;
        proxy_http_version 1.1;
        proxy_set_header Upgrade $http_upgrade;
        proxy_set_header Connection 'upgrade';
        proxy_set_header Host $host;
        proxy_cache_bypass $http_upgrade;
    }

    access_log /var/log/nginx/jellyfin.yourdomain_access.log;
    error_log /var/log/nginx/jellyfin.yourdomain_error.log;
}
```
It's a bit tricky to search for tutorials these days... I got that from: https://linuxconfig.org/setting-up-nginx-reverse-proxy-server-on-debian-linux

Jellyfin would then take all requests addressed at jellyfin.yourdomain.com and forward that to your Jellyfin which hopefully runs on port 8096. You'd use a similar file like this for each service, just adapt them to the internal port and domain.

You can also have all of this on a single domain (and not sub-domains). That'd be the difference between "jellyfin.yourdomain.com" and "yourdomain.com/jellyfin". That's accomplished with one file with a single "server" block in it, but make it several "location" blocks within, like location /jellyfin

Alright, now that I wrote it down, it certainly requires some knowledge. If that's too much and all the other people here recommend Caddy, maybe have a look at that as well. It seems to be packaged in Debian, too.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How to reverse proxy?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:
You'd install one reverse proxy only and make that forward to the individual services. Popular choices include nginx, Caddy and Traefik. I always try to rely on packages from the repository. They're maintained by your distribution and tied into your system. You might want to take a different approach if you use containers, though. I mean if you run everything in Docker, you might want to do the reverse proxy in Docker as well.

That one reverse proxy would get port 443 and 80. All services like Jellyfin, Immich... get random higher ports and your reverse proxy internally connects (and forwards) to those random ports.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Alpine Linux intro⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:
Right. Do your testing. Nothing here is black and white only. And everyone has different requirements, and it's also hard to get own requirements right.
Plus they even change over time. I've used Debian before with all the services configured myself, moved to YunoHost, to Docker containers, to NixOS, partially back to YunoHost over the time... It all depends on what you're trying to accomplish, how much time you got to spare, what level of customizability you need... It's all there for a reason. And there isn't a perfect solution.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Alpine Linux intro⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:
I think Alpine has a release cycle of 6 months. So it should be a better option if you want software from 6 months ago packaged and available. Debian does something like 2 years(?) so naturally it might have very old versions of software. On the flipside you don't need to put in a lot of effort for 2 years.

I don't think there is such a thing as a "standard" when it comes to Linux software. I mean Podman is developed by Red Hat. And Red Hat also does Fedora. But we're not Apple here with a tight ecosystem. It's likely going to run on a plethora of other Linux distros as well. And it's not going to run better or worse just because of the company who made it....
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Alpine Linux intro⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:
Sure. I think we could construe an argument for both sides here. You're looking for something stable and rock solid, which doesn't break your stuff. I'd argue Debian does exactly that. It has long release cycles and doesn't give you any big Podman update, so you don't have to deal with a major release update. That's kind of what you wanted. But at the same time you want the opposite of that, too. That's just not something Debian can do.

It's going to get better, though. With software that had been moving fast (like Podman?) you're going to experience that. But the major changes are going to slow down while the project matures, and we'll get Debian Trixie soon (which is already in hard freeze as of now) and that comes with Podman 5.4.2. It'll be less of an issue in the future. At least with that package.

Question remains: Are you going to handle updates of your containers and base system better than, or worse than Debian... If you don't handle security updates of the containers in a timely manner for all time to come, you might be off worse. If you keep at it, you'll experience some benefits.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Alpine Linux intro⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:
I don't think so. I've also started small. There are entire operating systems like YunoHost who forgo containers. All the packages in Debian are laid out to work like that. It's really not an issue by any means.

And I'd say it's questionable whether the benefits if containers apply to your situation. If you for example have a reverse proxy and do authentication there, all people need to do is break that single container and they'll be granted access to all other containers behind that as well... If you mess up your database connection, it doesn't really matter if it runs in a container or a user account / namespace. The "hacker" will gain access to all the data stored there in both cases. I really think a lot of the complexity and places to mess up are a level higher, and not something you'd tackle with your container approach. You still need the background knowledge.

I don't want to talk you out of using containers. They do isolate stuff. And they're easy to use. There isn't really a downside. I just think your claim doesn't hold up, because it's too general, you just can't say it that way.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Alpine Linux intro⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:
But that's very hypothetical. I've been running servers for more than a decade now and never ever had an unbootable server. Because that's super unlikely. The services are contained in to several user accounts and they launch on top of the operating system. If they fail, that's not really any issue for the server booting. It'll just give you a red line in systemctl and not start the service.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Musk’s AI bot Grok blames ‘programming error’ for its Holocaust denial⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago⁩:
Ah, nice to know that single employees can just change the products in Musk's companies without any supervision.

And this also sheds some light on how they make Grok etc align with their narratives. I always wondered about the far-right stuff, or the parroting of what is today's big outrage. I mean nothing of that abides by logic. Or is backed by facts. So I suppose the only way to make an AI handle the many contradicting narratives and propaganda, is to tell it specific details how to handle the illogical stuff in a long prompt?!
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨30% of South Korean schools have adopted AI-powered digital textbooks since the country's education ministry began a full-scale rollout in March 2025⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:
Well, I heard in some countries all textbooks are a grift, and cost like $120 each and you have to buy like 5 of them... Not so much in other countries... I had hoped to get a bit more background information from an article... I really have no clue about the education system in Korea.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨30% of South Korean schools have adopted AI-powered digital textbooks since the country's education ministry began a full-scale rollout in March 2025⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:
Hmmh, I feel the paragraph with what they saw at some booth at a fair might not be connected to the textbooks, though. Or it's just a different way of phrasing it, I'm not sure. I just hope AI does a good job for the Korean students. I remember we once had a math textbook which was the first run/edition and it still contained a handful of errors. And those were super annoying as a student. I feel that could happen more often with AI.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:
How old are you? 5 and on a tamper tantrum? You got good advice there. The correct communities for your text.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨30% of South Korean schools have adopted AI-powered digital textbooks since the country's education ministry began a full-scale rollout in March 2025⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:
And what exactly are AI textbooks? Does AI generate a quiz? Or generate the facts? I feel there is quite some bandwidth there.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:
Alright, seems fine. Just make sure you include some privacy statement if you handle the user's IP addresses and location. Or just give a rough location.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:
Sure, I think that'll do. I mean I love to tell people on the internet that they're idiots... But a simple "Skip" would do, if OP fears this is going to drag down the place. On the other hand... Forcing people to pick an option has its benefits, too. But there's a limit with user generated questions.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:
Very nice. Jury duty is fun. But I feel we need a third option for questions like: "I am a manager of company with 200 employees. We want to introduce a rewards system for perfect attendance (zero sick days or absences). Two days extra holiday or a financial reward."
Both answers suck, and the correct answer is, you're the a*hole for incentivising your employees to come in sick, and either infect other people as well or get worse.

⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AI Could Be the Most Effective Tool for Dismantling Democracy Ever Invented⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:
And please broaden this beyond AI. The attention economy that comes with social media, and other forms of "tech-feudalism", manipulation, targeting and tracking/surveillance aren't healthy either, even if they don't rely on AI and machine learning.

⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lemmy seems to have an LLM issue⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
I was recently made aware of Binoculars and it seemed to have a better than average accuracy. At least with the few texts I fed in to test it. But you're right. Generally speaking and for most use-cases, they're all next to useless.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Lemmy seems to have an LLM issue⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
I'm not sure if that's LLMs. I long suspected people to copy popular Reddit posts/stories here to gain attention. I've searched for some and they don't all seem to be dumped here from other places, so it has to be something else. But so far I didn't use any LLM detector service to find out if people made them up on their own or used ChatGPT... We might want to do that to gain some more insight.

But it's very annoying. I've unsubscribed from asklemmy and several ither communities as well, because of this.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
Yes. I'm mainly looking for options for the charge controller and batteries part. (Preferably good, reliable and cost-effective.) I already found a solar panel, and I don't necessarily need an inverter and 230V AC. I think something like 12V would be fine for some applications, if I got battery monitoring and over-discharge prevention.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Has the machine uprising already begun? In China, a humanoid robot suddenly attacked terrified engineers during testing⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
I can tell you the truth about this: Strong or heavy machines in close proximity to humans are dangerous. People get injured every single day around the world, operating machines. Sometimes factory workers get crushed. This is just one more example in a long list of accidents.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨is it ableist to “support equal rights and those with disabilities” but think someone is terrible and doesn’t deserve rights for showing signs of a disability?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:
If they do it because of someone's disabilities, it's ableist. If they do it and someone happens to be disabled, but that's not connected, it isn't. This sounds like it is about the disabilities, though. And be aware there is more than ableism, people can be assholes, cruel... as well. And all of the bad behaviour can mix.
