- Comment on How to use GPUs over multiple computers for local AI? 1 week ago:
Sure, works fine for inference with tensor parallelism, USB4 / thunderbolt 4/5 is a better (40Gbit+ and already there) bet than ethernet (see distributed-llama). Trash for training / fine tuning, that needs higher inter GPU speed, or better a bigger GPU VRAM.
- Comment on Advice for a newbie trying to selfhost 3 weeks ago:
Seems like data integrity is your highest priority, and you’re doing pretty well, the next step is keeping a copy offsite. It’s the 3-2-1 backup strategy, 3 copies, 2 media (used to mean CDs etc but now think offline drives) 1 offsite (in case of fire, meteor strike etc), so look to that, stash a copy at a friends or something.
In your case I’d look at getting some online storage to fill the offsite role while you’re overseas (paid probably, but a year of 1 or 2 Tb is quite reasonable) leaving you with no pressure on the selfhosting side, just tailscale in, muck around and have fun, and if something breaks, no harm done, data safe.
I’ve done it for what seems like forever and I’d still be worried about leaving a system out of physical control for any extended period of time, at the very least having someone to reboot it if connectivity or power fails will be invaluable, but talking them through a broken update is another thing entirely, and you shouldn’t make that a critical necessity, too much stress.
- Comment on Any OMV + SnapRAID/MergerFS users here? 2 months ago:
The old adage is never use v x.0 of anything, which I’d expect to go double for data integrity. Is there any particular reason ZFS gets a pass here (speaking as someone who really wants this feature). TrueNAS isn’t merging it for a couple of months yet, I believe.
- Comment on How Star Trek: Lower Decks Managed To Get Enterprise’s Jolene Blalock To Appear, And Why She’s Only Credited By Her First Name 3 months ago:
If you believe in the final episode, they failed, hard. Otherwise, I’ve grown to like it, found the beard from the latter half of season 3. Shame the post 9/11 dark shift killed it before it could get its seven. Feel much the same about Lower Decks, too soon.
- Comment on So… Australia Just Banned Kids From the Internet 4 months ago:
From the country that brought you the ASSact and “The laws of mathematics are very commendable, but the only law that applies in Australia is the law of Australia” comes another fine example of tech law innovation /s.
How are we going to implement it ? We have the concept of a plan… But our approval from boomers just went up 2 points, so who cares?
- Comment on Boo 5 months ago:
Well, anything over a non-continuous x for example off the top of my head (and, yes for well-defined forms you can do the integral), still I have no idea what the cartoonist is on about and haven’t heard ‘anti-derivative’ for a donkey’s age, guess it’s poorly defined grade school stuff.
- Comment on Here’s the paper no one read before declaring the demise of modern cryptography 5 months ago:
And everyone thinks about real time implications, what about historical ? Seems pretty likely that the NSA has been storing an appreciable fraction of the internet for a long damn while. Come Q-Day that all gets opened and searchable. What would Trump do ?

Nah, you got it.

Dear God (hope you got the letter and…), so that’s where my photo ends up. So much overkill.

Love to see it. Exploit preferential voting, have your say (personally greens, but anything other than abortion illegal will do)

Immediate disregard.
- Comment on Trying to avoid US elections content as a non-US citizen. Is this possible on the default Lemmy-UI? I prefer it over Tesseract, Photon, Alexandrite and Voyager (which have built-in keyword filters) 5 months ago:
Yeah, keyword list would be awesome.
I have a personal bunch of communities as is allowed and occasionally jump to main when I run out of content. Usually see something I regret, often Trumpian, amusing but depressing. Maccas window Trump etc. Will code for relief if it’s not too (ironically) political.
- Comment on Syncthing Android app discontinued 5 months ago:
Not sure, but it is still active with like 80 contributors. It’s much the same as the original with a couple of extra features and more languages, so transition should be minimally painful, maybe even export - import level. I’ve been using it for years as I saw the original wasn’t very active, but they’re pretty much (essential) feature complete and stable, which is good. Apparently, google thinks that’s bad.

I’m a going with far more harmful.

Oh, that. Nevermind.
Be well
- Comment on Wikipedia is under assault: rogue users keep posting AI generated nonsense 6 months ago:
Also some Russian hackers are brought down the Internet Archive
Er, do you mean the Russian hackers brought down the IA (and why, I’d peg government actors for that, more to lose, and more competent with legality) or were brought down by the IA, in which case I missed it.
No judgement, English grammar is obscure, but this sentence is ambiguous and incorrect.
