- Comment on The Irony of 'You Wouldn't Download a Car' Making a Comeback in AI Debates 2 months ago:
Thanks to everyone that has replied, all fair points. When you use (read, view, listen to…) copyrighted material you’re subject to the licensing rules, no matter if it’s free (as in beer) or not.
This means that quoting more than what’s considered fair use is a violation of the license, for instance. In practice a human would not be able to quote exactly a 1000 words document just on the first read but “AI” can, thus infringing one of the licensing clauses.
Some licensing on copyrighted material is also explicitly forbidding to use the full content by automated systems (once they were web crawlers for search engines)
Basically all these possibilities or actual licensing infringements would require a negotiation between the involved parties.
- Comment on The Irony of 'You Wouldn't Download a Car' Making a Comeback in AI Debates 2 months ago:
This process is akin to how humans learn by reading widely and absorbing styles and techniques, rather than memorizing and reproducing exact passages.
Many people quote this part saying that this is not the case and this is the main reason why the argument is not valid.
Let’s take a step back and not put in discussion how current “AI” learns vs how human learn.
The key point for me here is that humans DO PAY (or at least are expected to…) to use and learn from copyrighted material. So if we’re equating “AI” method of learning with humans’, both should be subject to the the same rules and regulations. Meaning that “AI” should pay for using copyrighted material.

Fortunately this is not the case, Mortadella has to have “big” chunks of fat in it unlike what you see in the picture.
Said that, I’ve seen seen some abominations that made me wonder if it was even legal to label it as human food (I’m exaggerating :D)
- Comment on Joplin alternative needed 10 months ago:
Did you know that you can use Joplin on a standard webdav server? Basically it just takes up the space of the data itself. I have it on a Caddy server and works like q charm synching between Windows and Android client
- Comment on Baldur's Gate 3 has won Steam's 2023 GOTY Award 10 months ago:
Thanks, makes much more sense. Too bad that some great titles lost just because they were not so popular. To be fairer Steam should add some rules like: of you didn’t play the game, you cannot vote it…
- Comment on Baldur's Gate 3 has won Steam's 2023 GOTY Award 10 months ago:
I had a similar reaction on these titles…honestly I felt that the results were rigged. Is it just me?
- Comment on If forced to choose one retro console forever what would you choose and why? 11 months ago:
I found Xenoblade absolutely impressive under all aspects. Zelda is fantastic, FF EX, Dragonquest… all with their distinctive art style and mechanics
But what really stuns me are the emulation capabilities. You can play all Nintendo portable games at ease + a ton of home console of the '90s and before and all in your pocket
- Comment on If forced to choose one retro console forever what would you choose and why? 11 months ago:
New 3DS XL. Great screen(s), great battery, great emulation capability and great native games.
- Comment on Web based IDE suggestion 1 year ago:
Yes, I’ve tried already that option (code server) and unfortunately I cannot use the “Remote” / “Dev Containers” extension with it. If you know how to do that, please let me know.
- Comment on Web based IDE suggestion 1 year ago:
Thanks a lot, great suggestion! I’ll play around with it and let you know :)
- Comment on Web based IDE suggestion 1 year ago:
Thanks for the reply, actually I wasn’t aware of that functionality in Github, that’s fantastic! If only I could have something similar selfhosted… :)
- Comment on Web based IDE suggestion 1 year ago:
Thanks, that was an option I had on table, just wanted to check if there was a “simpler” solution
- Comment on Web based IDE suggestion 1 year ago:
Fantastic suggestion and thanks for the post, very clear! I played with NixOS some time ago but I totally missed this capability. Fits quite well my use case, thanks! And I found this extension that could make things easier: https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=arrterian.nix-env-selector
- Comment on Web based IDE suggestion 1 year ago:
I had a look at it but it doesn’t seem to be able to create isolated dev environments on its own. Is it the case?

It’s all developer’s faults. If they only accepted the fair new pricing policy without protesting, this decision could have been avoided /s

- Comment on Self hosting on an Android mobile? 1 year ago:
That’s a possibility for sure. My suggestion would be first to test the capability of the device before buying anything. Once you’re satisfied with it, you can take the next steps and buy additional hardware. In my experience a USB-C -> ETH port was a great purchase as I was experiencing shaky WiFi connection possibly due to battery saving settings.
- Comment on Self hosting on an Android mobile? 1 year ago:
Based on my personal experience at least one year on a 5 years old mobile. It can last longer but I decommissioned it because I got a NUC.
I had setup a charge limiter (between 20% and 80%) with Magisk, initially it was through an automation in homeassistant but the battery usage was very high.
In terms of charge cycles it was one or two per day max
- Comment on Self hosting on an Android mobile? 1 year ago:
Hello, that’s perfectly possible, actually I was selfhosting on android until recently. You can find more info in this post: lemmy.world/post/5342541
Unless you need some heavyweight lifting and you’re ok with installing directly the applications (no docker, sorry), that’s a good portable homeserver.
My only suggestion: buy an ethernet adapter as the WiFi connectivity will drop sometimes.
Keep us posted!
- Comment on 1 year ago:
It is possible nowadays: I’m hosting quite a few services on an 5 years old Android. Just with Termux, no root required. Of course connectef it’s just to the internal network due to all the security concerns mentioned in the post.
To solve all the bandwidth/connection issues, I’ve bought a usbc-ethernet dongle that works like a charm.
To mitigate battery issues I’ve limited the charging to 85%.
I would never host Jellyfin there, but with webdav and Kodi I can get my media served easily to all my devices at home
- Comment on Use an old android phone to selfhost ? 1 year ago:
Thanks a lot! Much better :)
- Comment on Use an old android phone to selfhost ? 1 year ago:
Until one week ago I was using an old Samsung S20 with good results. I moved to a mini PC as I wanted to host Immich server and I felt it was too much for the phone (it might not be the case though…) A quick extract from an old post of mine on what I was running: lemmy.world/comment/354199 Software: Termux (android app) SSH (OpenSSH in Termux) Rclone (in Termux) Sonarr, Radarr, Lidarr, Prowlarr (in proot-distro) Transmission (in proot-distro) Kavitha (in proot-distro) Podgrab (in proot-distro) Ombi (in proot-distro) ntfy (in proot-distro) Filebrowser (in proot-distro) Vaultwarden (in proot-distro) Homer with lighttpd (in proot-distro)
TLDR: Go for it! Use Termux with proot-distro to avoid headaches

Can you share the github link? I’m really eager to use it in one of my key projects where JS is a core component :D
- Comment on Tips for energy efficient self-hosting 1 year ago:
I'm currently using an "old" mobile (Samsung A20) with Termux (standard ROM, not rooted) and works like a charm! I'm hosting the *arr suite, Kavita, Podgrab, Homeassistant, ntfy and there's still room left (in terms of CPU and RAM). In terms of consumption we're in the order of a few (<5W) Watts per day. The only issue is the storage, I've added a 128GB SD card and every once in a while I consolidate the content in an external HDD. And the nice thing is that you breath a new life in old hardware.
