Please update the title with [AIP]

With my particular unit? Its not going to get any updates ever, the only way to install is over ADB, and changing the running app requires script changes and a reboot (or changing things to allow the on-screen navigation buttons, but that comes with other annoyances).
So sdk version isn’t changing, which is a potential compatibility issue going forward.

- Comment on Is anyone self-hosting their own AI? 4 days ago:
As a service? No, not really.
I use llms for specific tasks, usually small models, for things like identification and tagging (immich, paperless), translation or transcription (whisper), etc. I have a bunch of larger models on a Mac mini and my work laptop for various testing purposes, and have used them to make summaries and other such things.
They aren’t great for search IMO, and search summaries can be quite bad.
I do find them useful to interrogate an unknown rs232 protocol or similar, though, which is where larger models come in handy.
Corporate LLMs are generally garbage to me not only because they are just data farming, but also because they really aren’t good at everything. They might claim it, but the reality is a tailored model is often the better approach.
Using openwebui as a front end for llama.cpp is a decent strategy, combined with sub-agent routing (so generic model hands off to tailored models then returns the right info). This can be useful for some scenarios.
A caveat on coding - IMO, they are mostly bad at it. If you are using it to generate a small part of something that needs to be repeated they are handy, but at scale they aren’t great, meaning for the entire project (or even an entire plugin or module, depending on complexity). Maintainability becomes a serious issue. While they have improved somewhat, there are limits to what they can do.
Macs with M series chips are good options for a hardware base since the memory is shared, and IMO is one of the most cost effective options over a dgpu with a ton of memory. A dgpu with a decent bit of memory (say 8-12GB) is a solid choice for a model thats larger (27b with 3 or 4b active as a mixture-of-experts model) especially if you have an iGPU for regular graphics tasks. Since its all shared on the M series macs, just get something that fits entirely in memory there.

No to both.
Its a long-standing and documented feature. Included in that documentation is how to turn it off, which was added a few years back iirc.
Its brought up every once in a while by people.who don’t understand cryptographic hashes or the hibp tools. Usually with a bunch of posts about how passwords are being leaked (they aren’t).
- Comment on HomeAssist Kiosks 4 days ago:
Generally speaking, I use the app.
I do, however, have miscellaneous tablets that are in rooms to show information and have a designated account just for that room’s controls. I also have a wall-mounted touch panel that was from a pro control system that I picked up cheap that I rooted and set HA to open at boot, but I don’t recommend this route unless you happen to get/see one cheap and know exactly what can/can’t be done with it.

any credentials in your config have been hoovered up
Anyone reading this would interpret it exactly as @frongt@lemmy.zip did. Its well passed “inflammatory” and hovering around “misinformation”.

Picked this one up for $20!
Packed with no-name fans, which I ended up pulling. My media cabinet below the TV has a PC and some other gear, so I have a temp sensor and fan controller hooked up to those no-names now right in there. Works great!
- Comment on Home server 5 days ago:
Yeah its one of the ones that I think went off the define 6 design, I’ve got a Corsair case with a similar design/layout but no latches, I had to do a closer look too.

Much appreciated!

Just add an [AIP] tag to the title of the post and you’re all set! :)
Considering its the only part that is, its covered by the “miscellaneous” approach which is what you’ve got in the disclosure, so just a tag to go.

Unfortunate, but also happens sometimes
Sorry I don’t have a better answer!

So thats the caching portion not being 100% - using the ID for the search, try it twice, that has worked where the first fails but the second query shows up, specifically for the id you want

AFAIK still not a closed out issue.

Well I used to use VGA for my monitors, now its mostly displayport.
Seriously though, prom+Loki+alloy+a few other things to Grafana, with alerting in grafana.

You’re also handling bluetooth and wifi functionality with that permission, fyi.

- Comment on How is everyone dealing with Android 17's "Nearby Devices" change? 3 weeks ago:
Completely agree
My current decision is between a new Motorola signature 27 with graphene (running under the assumption Linux will be able to make the jump there, which isn’t an unreasonable conclusion to jump to), or getting a mostly basic flip phone that can hotspot and using a umpc with it.
Where Linux phones have failed for me is the limited options for phones and on the actual phone part, so I feel like separation that out with a nice umpc and letting a phone be a phone is a worthwhile option.
We’ll see how things play out though!
- Comment on How is everyone dealing with Android 17's "Nearby Devices" change? 3 weeks ago:
The permission structure sucks.
Its a silent drop (no errors are returned), webview breaks connected to WiFi even without a local resource being requested, it lives inside nearby_devices so giving permission there includes this (and gives a broader spectrum of access such as Bluetooth and WiFi).
Its just shuffling the problem around.
Also, fuck Google.
- Comment on How is everyone dealing with Android 17's "Nearby Devices" change? 3 weeks ago:
The problem with graphene, unfortunately.
It doesn’t actually get away from google, at best its plugging holes in a (to me) sinking ship.
- Comment on How is everyone dealing with Android 17's "Nearby Devices" change? 3 weeks ago:
The solution is to avoid google going forward, for many reasons.
- Comment on How is everyone dealing with Android 17's "Nearby Devices" change? 3 weeks ago:
Haven’t been brought to 17 yet thankfully.
My long term solution is to not use android. My short term solution will likely be to use android even less, and be even more pissed at Google.
- Comment on [META] Should [AIP] also apply for projects not from the author ? 3 weeks ago:
I wish it would because there’s no way to stop someone from creating an alt to promote their own projects and claim “they didn’t know it was AI” when they knew full well it was.
They will have to wait 30 days every time. This hasn’t been an issue for any post so far.
- Comment on [META] Should [AIP] also apply for projects not from the author ? 3 weeks ago:
AGENTS.md in a repository are used to guide development.
That is not entirely true.
It can be. Yes, it provides agents with contexts - rule centralization, commands, conventions - which may be useful for external tooling for a project that runs on code live like this. It isn’t exclusively used for project development, which makes its presence not an indicator.
I see at least one: if the project doesn’t have a clear no-ai policy, then assume it is AIP. But that’s not my proposition at the moment.
Also discussed in the meta thread about this, and what results is projects being called an AI project that are not projects developed with - or even designed to allow interaction with - AI.
Also a non-starter.
I was just asking for a precision, but that’s because I didn’t check archives enough
There is precision in the detailed rules post.
If you want to see the prior meta discussions, you can look at my post history. I don’t often make standalone posts, so they are quick to find.
- Comment on [META] Should [AIP] also apply for projects not from the author ? 3 weeks ago:
Its pretty far from perfect actually, and will often result in both false negatives and false positives.
Not a viable solution.
- Comment on [META] Should [AIP] also apply for projects not from the author ? 3 weeks ago:
Just like the discussion last time on this - every user will not be able to be a forensically review.
This is demonstrated clearly with how you misunderstood the role of the agents.md file in the other thread, that was for AI to be used with the app, not for the app development.
So if you’d like to propose this, and people would like this, you’re going to need to include how or its simply unworkable as a rule. And I don’t see any option for how this could be realistically implemented.
- Comment on Why use Proxmox over Podman or Docker? 3 weeks ago:
Just about everything is Proxmox for me, though a few things are just Debian.
I use LXCs, in general I don’t like Docker so I avoid it in most cases. I have a couple VMs for it where I may spin something up to test, but if its around long-term it gets moved to an LXC. Usually because I prefer a bit more control on setup, and find it more manageable than having a bunch of mounts for everything. It also keeps things arranged in a way I prefer, gives me a single interface to access what I want, and makes backup more straightforward.
Whether I want a whole VM or just to run a single app as a service, I only have to go to one spot to do it.
