Just to add a reference time frame: late 2022 was when ChatGPT got released. I think all these models predate the general population even being aware of AI.

The modern VR experience is, we have SteamOS run on the headset, so it doesn’t even need to be connected to any Linux computer. I think it’s quite pricey, though. And not sure if waiting is going to help with that.

Difficult to tell. We have bots. We also have people who think it’s some kind of service to the users to shove around re-posts of content… Always a bit suspicious if it’s new accounts created just for that one thing.

Bummer. The commuter trains here run on electric. And they’re kinda privacy friendly if you got the right ticket. But then they’re late all the time, or don’t arrive at all. And they only get me to fixed locations…

Nice! Though I struggle a bit with the number of available cars. 50 per entire earth isn’t much. And the range doesn’t seem great either. No clue what 35 miles is, but it doesn’t sound a lot…

Uh. What’s with people who need a new car? Are they F-ed?

Guess if it works, you don’t really need fail2ban as f2b pretty much does the same job. I mean it can do more, but you don’t really need to protect against PHP issues, broken wordpress plugins etc since none of that is part of Authelia.

I use fail2ban, but I have SSH running and several other services exposed which come with default fail2ban configurations. And I never git crowdsec running. I think frequent updates and all those things are more important than a web application firewall anyway.

Authelia should come with rate limiting to protect against brute-force attacks. That could be enough.

I’d generally advise to make sure such protection actually works. Like look up the limits and try to login with a wrong password 30 times… Especially if you added stuff on top (fail2ban, crowdsec…) has happened to me I misconfigured stuff and it didn’t limit anything… Now I check to make sure for important bits like an authentication service.

No clue. Here in Germany it’s just fine. I’ve been using OSM data forever and it regularly gets me where I need to go. Also like the bicycle routes. Routing isn’t perfect with those, but close enough, considering the proprietary apps aren’t perfect either. And with OSM you also get people’s favorite illegal mountain bike tracks and all those awesome details.

Only issue I’m having is all the construction work and traffic jams these days, so you really want some live traffic data while navigating the car across cities.

I think a lot of backup programs offer encrypted backups. You enable that and it gets encrypted befor being transferred to the remote machine.

I’m sorry. For some reason we’re completely talking past each other… Your harddisk/ssd/usb-stick is a document based database afaik. You store data in form of files/documents on your HDD. It’s a bit like a library, yes. Those documents are organzed a certain way. In folders… maybe on shelves or whatever the digital equivalent is… The important parts of a wiki (the articles) are organized exactly the same way. That’s why DokuWiki manages to pull it off without a relational database. It really doesn’t matter for something like an encyclopedia or knowledge database. Can be articles in a books sitting on shelves in some building. Or digital files on a server, organized by a very similar hierarchy / topics.

I’m not convinced it is, that’s why I’m asking. Doesn’t really sound like it. Though I think it misses the point we were talking about, and is kinda verbose while talking about not really related points… Could be someone talking the way I do, or an AI, I can’t tell.

Is this AI text? If this is AI text: Nevermind. If no: I guess we’re not really on the same page. I didn’t say relational database. I mean it’s obviously not. It’s a document-oriented one. Which is exactly the kind of database you need when processing …well… documents. If you do additional web application mumbo jumbo, you might need a relational database. But this wasn’t really about any of this. We were talking of how expensive document retrievals are…

DokuWiki is great. Also very easy, straightforward and has a nice plugin ecosystem.

I guess the point about databases isn’t the entire story, though. The filesystem is a database as well. Doesn’t really matter whether you pull a database look up the article and return it, or have the filesystem find the file by it’s directories and name and return the data. That’s the same thing.

Thx! That’s the video decoding page, though. The thing that decodes the video stream and makes individual images from the stream. Seems the thing that does inference / object detection is called OpenVINO.

https://docs.frigate.video/configuration/hardware_acceleration_enrichments

I think you mean SyCL or Vulkan or oneDNN… QuickSync is video de- and encoding.

Aren’t diffusion models and LLMs (ollama) too big for a NPU? As far as I know something like a Coral runs specific models only. And it’s limited to the 1 or 2GB of memory on it. It’d do tasks like voice recognition, or image classification. But not generate images or text.

You should probably have a look at the software you intend to run and see what kind of external NPU they support. I’m aware of Frigate for example which leverages hardware acceleration to classify camera surveillance footage. Guess their community knows which stick to get. Or you’d have a look at the frameworks which package machine learning models for inference on some NPU and have a look at their table of supported hardware.

Thanks! You’re right. Seems it’s distributed switch architecture on my wifi router. I used Luci to configure it. Didn’t even know this was more than a UI change…

I don’t really know, either. “driver-level VLAN” is the terminology the OpenWRT wiki you linked uses. You went for the strategy at the bottom, with going to the bridge settings and make it add a new interface. Waht I’ve done before, and what that article talks about at the top is, go to the Switch settings, and set the port to the corresponding VLAN, or keep the tags…

https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/network/vlan/switch_configuration

Interesting. Any reason to prefer the driver-level VLANs over the hardware switch? That’s how I’ve done it in the past, and also how the linked wiki article starts.

Hehe, it is Musk’s website though. And he does what he wants with it… Mainly add enshittification and make it a place for right-wing people. I mean he also has some slightly controversial AI porn service, makes his cars shittier by the day… It’s a thing. And he can afford to do it.

How much rate-limiting do you get with a VPN? Because I use SearxNG with my regular network and I tend to get a lot of my search queries fail because the search providers have CAPTCHAs after the 10th request or so for some given timespan.

Yeah, I think it’s a bit sad it has to be like this… I once moved and asked my neighbours if I could use their Wifi for a month, and that was basically their answer.

I’m not really an expert on VPN, but I believe solutions like Tailscale, Netbird, Pangolin all leverage the Wireguard protocol.

Or maybe OpenVPN over nirmal TLS on port 443.

You could also try to run wireguard on a different port which would be otherwise used by some common service…

Does your bank even allow you to file debit notes, or collect money from other people’s credit cards? As far as I know that’s never part of a regular consumer bank account…

For payment in advance (if you clients put in the effort to do a bank transfer) I think there’s HBCI or whatever standards we have integrated in some CRM and eCommerce solutions.

Yeah, Some people here really love drama and to fight other people online, preferably on a personal level. PieFed has become target of that. I don’t think it necessarily means a lot, other than we’re some high drama online community. But everyone can still use their favorite software. They’re both fine from a technical perspective. You’ll get some different perks, but it’s all the same Threadiverse.

Yeah, being conservative isn’t how awesome new hobbies start. You need to leave your comfort zone 😂

Why not host a PieFed instance instead? Similar but more features and easier to maintain.
