  • SpaceX says states should dump fiber plans, give all grant money to Starlink

    Jump

  • I feel that man. Right now I load balance between tmobile and starlink cause the towers near me suck. I work from home so having consistent internet is really important and in my area, the fiber build out is really slow and expensive. Luckily I'm moving here soon but its been a pain in the ass to say the least.

    Starlink is great for what it is. Very important tech but yea, I'm sure most everyone would be happier with fiber.

  • I say this as someone who actively pays for starlink out of necessity.

    Fuck you, no. Fiber is much better for everyone. Eat shit muskrat.

  • What's up, selfhosters? It's self hosting Sunday!

  • Thats rad, thanks for the info. I may follow suit, been trying to degoogle myself lately.

  • Yea I'm aware but I appreciate the insight :) so far my local ai experience has been lack luster so I'm hoping that training and RAG will make up for the context size at least a little. Ifnit can answer accurately in the first place, it may not need as big of a context window.

    If you haven't tried using RAG in some form, I would recommend giving it a go. Its pretty cool stuff, helps make models answer more accurately based on the documentation you give them though in my case, ive had limited success. Tbh, chatgpt has become my last resort when I just wanna get something done but I don't like using it due to the privacy concerns, not to mention the ethical issues I have with ai training in general from big tech.

    How is searxng BTW? Would you say its good to host or do you use a normal search engine more often? Or do you just use it for the AI search plugin?

    Ive actually been thinking about using it rather than duckduckgo but was also hopeful the search index they are working on would be enough to satisfy my needs, or that a self hosted AI enabled search engine would work well enough when I need it.

  • Thats why i was considering training my own model if possible. Ive been toying around with kobold.CPP and gpt4all which both have RAG implementations.

    My idea is to essentially chat with documentation and as a separate use case, have it potentially be a AI search engine but locally hosted. I do still prefer to search myself, but fuck man, searches have gotten so bad, and the kobold.CPP web lookup feature was pretty neat IMO.

    So yea you're not wrong, I'm just hoping that if in train it and or give it documentation it can reference when answering, it will be suitable. Mostly AI has been good for me as kind of a rubber ducky when troubleshooting and helping me search for things when I have some specific question and in don't want "top 5 things vaguely related to your question" results.

  • Getting ready to move from out of the woods and back to civilization with my partner.

    Not looking forward to having neighbors above or below me but I'm very excited to have internet that doesnt fucking suck.

    Once were moved and a bit more settled, I'm gonna start really digging into to selfhosting things. I have the hardware, a couple HP mini PCs that will run home assistant and probably a server for various docker things. Nextcloud and immich seem to be the things I've found i wanna use so far. I already have a NAS set up, but was having am issue with it not booting if a monitor isnt plugged in. I bought a dummy plug for it but haven't tried it out yet.

    Will also be setting up an AI server for local LLM use. Hope to train one to fit my needs once I pull the trigger on 3060 12GB card but need to figure out what other parts I'll use. Might upgrade my main rig and use the parts from that, or maybe I'll buy a old dell and fix it up. Not sure yet.

    Lots of ideas, so little time lol.

  • Man where was this post when in was DMing? lol.

    This is super cool though. Rn I'm doing some film editing work for my friend, and this could probably be useful for subtitles too. Thanks for sharing.

  • Rate my one year old homelab.

    Jump

  • Yea not super thrilled with bambu lab for the privacy concerns but the printer itself is good. I just use it in lan only mode and block any outgoing network traffic on my router.

    But there are other brands that are good. Ive heard prusa is nice but never tried them.

  • Agreed. Make them do the work first ffs or something. Tired of these "providers" getting free money for shit they dont even do.

  • You speak only truth. I love my brother printer. And HP printers are garbage.

    Or they would be if they existed.

  • Samsung teams up with Glance to use your face in AI-generated lock screen ads

    Jump

  • Same here man. Was using an s20 for a long time and was generally happy with it but after moving to an s22 due to charging issues, I wasn't happy with the way that Samsung changed things. I don't like how they often try to force a Samsung account.

    And I REALLY don't like this. I should never have to look at baked in ads in my OS that I paid for. I don't care if its just on the lockscreen because you know that's only the beginning.

    "Watch this 30 second ad to change your wallpaper"

    No thanks dude.

  • Gross.

    I'm currently in the process of moving everything over to a pixel running GrapheneOS and am glad to be doing so because of shit exactly like this.

    I just want technology that does what I want it to and doesn't spy on me. Shouldn't be this hard especially if I pay for the product.

  • Need a second opinion on a project idea (Pi5 car headunit)

    Jump

  • Yea you're in the right place lol. Like others in this thread, ive also thought about this a lot.

    I watched a video recently of someone using a pi for android auto: https://youtu.be/Puk_pzMGd7c

    I think the only problem you'll find is that the software would need to be more custom if you didn't want to use Android auto. Some kind of customized launcher for the pi or something akin to that to mimic a infotainment system.

    IMO, using a pi for android auto would be the easiest way to do this but totally get wanting to do it on your own.

    I think as long as you use something like organic maps and have a GPS module, a pi should be able to at least do GPS. That said, I think you have to use downloaded maps in that case. I can't say for sure but that'd be my best guess.

    As for screens, my advice is just buy a screen from pi. I looked extensively for a screen that you can hook up to a pi with usb c or anything else and from what I saw, a lot of the options for touchscreens are worse and or more expensive than what pi offers at $65 and its about as plug and play as it gets since they built it.

    In all I think its very doable hardware wise. Software would maybe be your only hurdle depending on how exactly you want this set up. If you wanna throw a couple weeks of work at it, I'd be interested to see it so def post again if you do.
