OS-hardening is exactly what I meant. Thanks

Thank you for your comment, I will save it. This really cleared it up
- Comment on On email privacy: can I store my own email and relay them through an email provider? 1 day ago:
It is possible. One can have IMAP hosted on their server and simply use the SMTP server operated by a different entity. There are companies offering SMTP servers for free as long as you’re under the limit.
- Comment on On email privacy: can I store my own email and relay them through an email provider? 1 day ago:
Thanks. After speaking with some others here, I’ve realised that this is actually quite doable (in theory). The other commenter has a great note on DKIM and SPF that I’m sure will help anyone looking to do this. Thanks for your help, I’ve also found a lot of companies offering a free SMTP server for a limited number of emails (which is more emails than I’ll ever send so it works for me).

The previous commenter mentioned mxroute and I got sendgrid from your comment. I will look at these products, is there any other provider that you recommend?
- Comment on On email privacy: can I store my own email and relay them through an email provider? 1 day ago:
Amazing comment. Saved. Thank you so much.
Indeed, I have thought about hosting my own email, but the problem of dealing with IP blacklists made it seem not worth it.
Thank you so much for the explanation on DKIM and SPF. It makes sense to me now, indeed I didn’t really have a clue about either of these before I read your comment. Thank you for breaking it down.

We need to have a community wiki with TVs where the WiFi chip can be reliably desoldered
- Comment on Google To Allow Double Serving Ads. 2 days ago:
I managed to install LibreWolf + uBlock on my work computer. I haven’t fucked around with custom filters on that setup but power user mode is on and most 3rd party stuff is blocked. And JS is disabled by default.
It’s actually quite refreshing: pages load superfast and because most of my internet searching is technical documentation/blogs/stack overflow, not having JS running doesn’t bother me 90% of the time.

I have an alternative for you if your power bills are cheap: X99 motherboard + CPU combos from China
- Comment on Consumer GPUs to run LLMs 3 days ago:
In general how much VRAM do I need for 14B and 24B models?
- Comment on Consumer GPUs to run LLMs 3 days ago:
I didn’t know that. I thought just one ROCM binary to install, run Ollama and that’s it. Thanks for the explanation

How do you back up your media?
- Comment on Consumer GPUs to run LLMs 3 days ago:
Do you have any recommendations for running the Mistral small model? I’m very interested in it alongside CodeLlama, OogaBooga and others
- Comment on Consumer GPUs to run LLMs 3 days ago:
Wait how does that work? How is 24GB enough for a 38B model?
- Comment on Consumer GPUs to run LLMs 3 days ago:
The 7900XTX was $1000 when it launched, I wouldn’t mind it used either.
- Comment on Consumer GPUs to run LLMs 3 days ago:
I don’t mind multiple GPUs but my motherboard doesn’t have 2+ electrically connected X16 slots. I could build a new homeserver (I’ve been thinking about it) but consumer platforms simply don’t have the PCIE lanes for 2 actual x16 slots. I’d have to go back to Broadwell Xeons for that, which are really power hungry. Oh well, I don’t think it matters considering how power hungry GPUs are now.
- Comment on Consumer GPUs to run LLMs 3 days ago:
I am OK with either Nvidia or AMD especially if Ollama supports it. With that said I have heard that AMD takes some manual effort whilst Nvidia is easier. Depends on how difficult ROCM is
- Comment on Consumer GPUs to run LLMs 3 days ago:
Thank you. Are 14B models the biggest you can run comfortably?
- Comment on Consumer GPUs to run LLMs 3 days ago:
Do you have 2 PCIE X16 slots on your motherboard (speaking in terms of electrical connections)?

- Comment on Which non-US domain registrar to use? 1 week ago:
People have had bad experiences and the founder of Njalla hasn’t helped. There are other Domain registrars with a similar strategy to Njalla if you prefer them instead. One can’t deny that not having your name on a domain allows for one to host… err, sensitive stuff
- Comment on Which non-US domain registrar to use? 1 week ago:
Njalla is what you use if you don’t want your name plastered all over the domain for various reasons

- Comment on ISO Selfhost 1 week ago:
is there a thriving selfhost/homelab type place that is active?
I mean, you’re right here.
Is there any benefit to hosting your own Lemmy and mesh it with the other Lemmey’s out there?
If it’s your personal instance: altruism. You’re taking some burden off of the main Lemmy servers by hosting your own with your content. You’re saving them bandwidth, storage and CPU time.
If it’s a public instance meant for others to use: you’re participating in decentralisation and keeping the Fediverse alive. Every new instance has their own mods, rules and policies. It’s like a little island connected to other islands to form a community.
I can wrap my 70 year old head around it.
Holy shit I hope my brain can process new tech at that age like you. Good luck, DM me if you have trouble.
- Comment on Secure encryption and online anonymity are now at risk in Switzerland 1 week ago:
I see. You need either IPSEC/OVPN or need to encapsulate wireguard in an SSL tunnel. It’s a little involved but possible to do
