I doubt most user have any need for great nc performance.

I also doubt those “super performant nextcloud flakes” are actually any faster than a plain old default nc deployment; especially for our use-cases.

Using NixOS is a good recommendation though. Just don’t do flakes unless you actually understand what problem they intend to solve and how catastrophically bad they are at it.

I’d suspect the bots would just try again with a masked user agent when they receive a 403.

I think the best strategy would be to feed the bots shit that looks like real content.

The web version works without an account? That’d be news to me.

I wouldn’t go ARM unless you really like tinkering with stuff.

I bought a used Celeron J4105-based system years ago for <100€ and it’s doing just fine. The N100 is its successor that should be better in every way.

Don’t be afraid to buy cheap used hardware. Especially things like RAM or cases that don’t really ever break in normal usage.

Two 4TB HDDs for 120€ each is a rip-off. That’s twice what you pay per GB in high capacity drives. Even in the lower capacity segment you can do much better such as 6TB for 100€.

If you have proper (tested!) backups and don’t have any specific uptime requirements, you don’t need RAID. I’d recommend getting one 16TB-20TB drive then. That would only cost you as much as those two overpriced 4TB drives.

I generally prefer to not get shit in my mouth at all but you do you.

Sure but that won’t do anything about software issues :p

Whatever I put on Lemmy or elsewhere on the fediverse implicitly grants a revocable license to everyone that allows them to view and replicate the verbatim content, by way of how the fediverse works. You may apply all the rights that e.g. fair use grants you of course but it does not grant you the right to perform derivative works; my content must be unaltered.

When I delete some piece of content, that license is effectively revoked and nobody is allowed to perform the verbatim content any longer. Continuing to do so is a clear copyright violation IMHO but it can be ethically fine in some specific cases (e.g. archival).

Due to the nature of how the fediverse, you can’t expect it to take effect immediately but it should at some point take effect and I should be able to manually cause it to immediately come into effect by e.g. contacting an instance admin to ask for a removed post of mine to be removed on their instance aswell.

In order to put something in the public domain, you need to explicitly do that. Publicising is not the same as putting something in the public domain.

This comment I’m writing here is not in the public domain and I don’t need to explicitly mention that. It’s “all rights reserved” by default in most western jurisdictions. You’re not allowed to do anything whatsoever with it other than what is covered by explicit exemptions from copyright such as fair use (e.g. you quote parts of my comment to reply to it).

Encoding my comment into the weights of a statistical model to closer imitate human writing is a derivative work (IMHO) and therefore needs explicit permission from the copyright holder (me) or licensee authorised by said copyright holder to sublicense it in such a way.

Feel free to go back to the post and read the edits. They may help shed some light on this. I also recommend checking Perplexity’s official docs.

You’re aware that it’s in their best interest to make everyone think their “”“AI”“” can execute advanced cognitive tasks, even if it has no ability to do so whatsoever and it’s mostly faked?

Taking what an “”“AI”“” company has to say about their product at face value in this part of the hype cycle is questionable at best.

sites like Reddit whose entire existence is due to user content, deciding they can police and monetize my content. They have no right

Um, not they do in fact have “every right” here. It’s shitty of course but you explicitly gave them that right in form of an perpetual, irrevocable, world-wide etc. license to do whatever they like to everything you publish on their site.

They also have every right to “police” your content, especially if it’s objectionable. If you post vile shit, trolling or other societal garbage behaviour on the internet, nobody wants to see it.

Modern thorium reactors don’t exist on the power grid.

You will likely still hear the cell broadcast. Alerts of this level make every phone give off a piercing sound and even if your phone is dead, you will hear it from your neighbours’ because it’s loud.

Why is Magic Earth free? What is the business model?

Magic Earth is free for all our end-users but we also have a paid Magic Earth SDK for business partners. For instance Selectric.de (a supplier for navigation solutions for ambulances and fire trucks), Smarter AI (developing ADAS systems) or Absolute Cycling (using the platform on bicycles). For more info on the SDK, you can check magiclane.com.

after a week of runtime it told me 2.5kwh average. could be average per hour

If it gives you kWh as a measure for power, you should toss it because it’s obviously made by someone who had no idea what they were doing.

If this was over an hour, yes. Though you’d typically state it as 100W ;)

I was drawing an average of 2.5kWh after a week of monitoring my whole rack

That doesn’t seem right; that’s only ~18W. Each one of those systems alone will exceed that at idle running 24/7. I’d expect 1-2 orders of magnitude more.

Have you heard of peertube?

It’s slightly overkill for your purposes but it is basically a self-hosted Youtube with a similarly nice UI and everything.

Without knowing what you’ll use it for, neither.

Both don’t sound ideal though w.r.t. power consumption.

Don’t let it uncharge fully. You ideally want to stay in the 30-70% range as much as possible.

If only there was a place where it’s written down what he did? Commenters have yet to discover this mystical record.
