Hello I would like to run a neural network to play Cyberpunk 2077 at max settings, only catch is my rig is a month old potato, my monitor is a cracked windshield I ripped off the wreck of an old Pontiac at the local junkyard, the night attendant feels bad for me so he lets me scavenge sometimes, plz help


Where would an open source LLM that you run locally phone home to, exactly? It requires a lot of GPU compute, do you think someone’s just going to give that away for free, without even requiring an account they can turn into saleable data?

But wait, there’s an even better way to be sure: download OpenHardwareMonitor so you can watch your GPU go to 100%, and this or GPT4All or something. Then airgap your computer, and try it yourself.

So the police just outright abduct and intimidate citizens they don’t like, in Canada?

Where do they think they are, America?


When giving feedback, it helps to avoid derogatory phrasing and instead specify what you don’t like and why. The key word there being “specify”. Otherwise, you don’t have a point, and you’ll come across like a dick.

Edit: okay, suffer an eternity of complaining about things that never get fixed; no skin off my nose.


Not sure if you saw elsewhere in the thread but Obsidian slows down the more notes you have because it doesn’t have a DB. Trillium is DB-based (and thus so is TrilliumNext) so it can handle a lot more entries. OP said they’ve got 300,000 notes without a performance drop!



IONOS don’t support 2048-bit DKIM keys though, which I consider to be a pretty hefty point against them.


I think it leaves that up to the host OS; I’m just using SMB network shares, directories in which I bind directly to the containers I want to have access.


I guess that I haven’t read the source code to make sure there’s nothing malicious there? I’m kind of a scrub, which is why I decided to give this thing a go in the first place. I say “seems to take care of reverse proxies and stuff” because I haven’t checked at all to make sure any of that’s working. I’ve done no pentesting either. It’s not that I can’t figure out how to manually configure proxmox or whatever, I’m just usually too tired to put in the concerted effort, so Cosmos has allowed me get things up and running quickly and without having to learn too much more than I already know beforehand.

Also, Cosmos does take care of basically everything by itself, but when I first set it up (many patches ago now) there was some issue with the way it assigned UIDs in containers so that the root user in some containerised apps couldn’t see the data even though it was in directories that were correctly bound to the container. I had to enlist a friend with more experience to help me troubleshoot that. So, defaults are usually fine but it’s happy to let you shoot yourself in the foot if you don’t really know what you’re doing.


I use https://github.com/azukaar/Cosmos-Server on Ubuntu and really like it, seems to take care of reverse proxies and stuff for any new services you add. I’m running on the lowest-spec Hetzner auction I could find, but even so it’s a pretty beastly server with an i7 6700 or something, and 128GB of RAM. I’ve got nextcloud and a bunch of other services running and I rarely go above 10% resource utilisation.


If you’re old enough to remember horse armour then that reference has to be tongue-in-cheek. Nobody thought it was a good idea at the time I got weeks of mockery of Bethesda out of that nonsense 😂

I don’t think Molyneux was a bad developer, he just overhyped his games to a level nobody else has managed before or since. Like I said, the Fable games do actually hold up pretty well, and Black And White is iconic. I don’t recall encountering any bugs in Lionshead games, nobody T-posed randomly, and nothing that broke the game for me. But, I’m just one dude of course and the nostalgia is strong.


even more niche games like Fable 2

Ouch 😂 I remember playing the shit outta Fable 2; it’s a great game and holds up pretty well even today, easily one of my favourites. I always thought that Peter Molyneux got treated too harshly for overpromising, and I stand by that to this day. Dude made good games, just not as good as he said they were gonna be.


Throwing my +1 behind Hetzner, it’s so much more bang for your buck than with a VPS and I’ve been pleased with the stability and uptime I get out of my auction box.


“Remuxing preserves the original video and audio quality because it doesn’t involve any compression”

https://techreviewadvisor.com/what-does-remux-mean/

So, what you said - it’s a 1:1 copy of the source. With no compression. Which is what I said, as far as I can tell?

What I don’t understand is why the article says it allows for smaller file sizes, when I’ve found without fail that remuxes are the largest variety by far. It made sense to me that a file produced without compression would be larger than the same file, compressed.


Be sure to avoid “remux” quality. I didn’t know what this meant at first - it’s a file with no compression an uncompressed 1:1 copy of the source, so even “low-resolution” video files can be truly massive. A 1080p movie should be between 2GB-10GB or so; I’ve found that remuxes are typically 15GB-50GB, or even larger.

edit: updated for accuracy 👍


That might actually be an element of a workable argument in Court. I think it’s a very clever reframing of the precedent that allows recordings of broadcast media.


And this is why - all together now - “An IP is not an ID”. They don’t know what you’ve downloaded; they know what some number of IP addresses have downloaded from some trackers at some points, and you might be have been assigned one of those IPs after the fact. They aren’t useful, alone.
