  • How would you design online communities so they don't degenerate over time?

    Jump

  • Imo the issue is the scope. The best communities online are independent (no reddit or other) forums dedicated to specific things, often moderated by someone payed to do that.

    If your incentive is growth and income and the community's incentive is pertinence either you or the community will have a problem, unless you understand how to manage that equilibrium.

    The issue imo is not self regulation mechanisms like voting and weights, but law enforcement and responsability towards the main subject and the community

  • Some general questions on AI setup

    Jump

  • Qwen3.6-27b and qwen3.6-35b-a3b are your starting point. Ask those how to configure your stuff. You can then move to something larger like a 120b model using some offloading if you want.

    Run pi.dev and llama.cpp, use always the latest builds or compile from source.

    The card does not eat energy when it is not in active use.

  • Cars are like horses: people will soon realise EVs are just better, claims VW boss

    Jump

  • They should stop with that touch screen crap, always connected to the internet spyware bullshit, but they are putting that everywhere now not just EVs.

    We will soon be in the siutuation where if you want an old car without that crap you can't even go into the larger eu cities anymore, because the engine will be too polluting.

    There really is a market for cars without that crap. As long as it brings me and my family to destination safely I don't care how it is propelled.

  • Going nuts with networking of VMs on Proxmox (SOLVED)

    Jump

  • Well my entire network doc is a 30ish lines .txt file that looks like this example:

    • Hostname11 10.0.0.11 master db1
    • Hostname12 10.0.0.12 db1 backup
    • Hostname13 10.0.0.13 ui back end 1
    • Hostname21 10.0.0.21 master db2
    • Hostname22 10.0.0.22 db2 backup
    • Hostname23 10.0.0.23 ui back end 2

    Then some other general stuff on some other 10.0.1.x network etc

    Once you take care assigning static blocks and it makes sense you don't have any surprises. Db1 crashed? Lookup its config data, reinstall machine, recover from backup and nothing else needs to be configured.

  • That is just static ip with extra steps

  • You can have some weird workaround creep up yesrs later also with dhcp and dns ,😉

  • Going nuts with networking of VMs on Proxmox (SOLVED)

    Jump

  • No what I meant is I don't use dhcp at all, but apparently I am an old gremlin and all these youngsters do it some variation of your way. If you want ro do it like that I leave you with them.

    No worries, I just don't want to get you confused

  • Going nuts with networking of VMs on Proxmox (SOLVED)

    Jump

  • I agree with you. I am not at a scale were it matters so I don't bother. I only have a couple dozen servers to harness for work. Point is that OP does not sound to be at that scale either

  • Dhcp and ensuring it works is someting I don't care about. I tell the kernel wich packets it should be interested in and how to sign itself and that will be it thank you very much.

    I configure static routes and have all my machines and network segments neatly arranged in my database. I setup a new machine I know exactly what address it should have,it goes up and until it has a problem it will keep the address it was installed with.

    Its 2026 I work like that, you can have your opinions I have mine. The difference is that I depend on one less thing that I don't care about, so I have more profit margin.

  • Is there a reason you sre using dhcp instead of assigning ips manually?

    Dhcp is great if you don't care about stuff, in my experiece as soon as you start caring you should do it manually

  • Anticheat check - which competitive games actually work on Linux?

    Jump

  • Lutris, install the blizzard battle thingy, then use that to install starcraft.

    Nothing particularly fancy required

  • Starcraft 2 works like a charm

  • Back in the day you could find a forum post explaining exactly how anything worked, grey hat or not? Since then the internet has sanitized that out of existence. Should Lemmy revive that culture?

    Jump

  • I agree, within a minute you can either search on some search engine that censors a bit less stuff than google, like for example duckduckgo, or even asking chatgpt with some very light deception gets you any info your hearth desires

  • After a Long Time, Ubuntu Shows Some Respect to Deb Packages

    Jump

  • Agreed, but how many requests do you see for support for people understanding mesh networking enough to set a server up in docker? Those are the people that use it and need it, and surprise they use docker, not flatpack or snap.

    I am talking about non powerusers, non it personnel that are installing steam or gimp via snap or flatpack and then flood support threads with their problems. In those cases sandboxing is fucking stupid.

  • After a Long Time, Ubuntu Shows Some Respect to Deb Packages

    Jump

  • App sandboxing is stupid, those that need it need something more refined than snap or flatpack, and all others don't actually need it, but think they do due to inexperience and end up having problems and asking for support online.

    The amount of times i lost time helping someone that pinkie promised that no, i did not installed it via flatpack, but then it turns out they did and their permissions are messed up is not acceptable.

    I freaking hate snap, flatpack annd sometimes noobs even attempt some docker bullshit for something that is an apt-get away smh.

    These things are used as a crutch for unstable or badly supported programs. Sandboxing often creates more problems that it solves because you actually need to support the instance to do it correctly, the very problem that is attempted to solve.

  • Turns out llms also have “artificial hive mind”, top AI models all say very similar sounding things, do you think that we can use this to detect bots?

    Jump

  • As part of my job I need to write emails in other languages wich I do speak fluently but don't master grammatically. English for example. Any half modern AI can ingest my text and spit it out looking better and more professional without me loosing 10 minutes perfectioning an email that takes 1 minute to be written in my language.

  • Works as designed, these are tools. Imagine if you are using a hammer to drive a nail and every time you hit it, a looney tunes character appears telling you a joke.

    The current generation of ai tools cannot be used for creative work, creativity and originality is not were they shine.

    They shine in information retrieval and text/media generation, and that is how they can amplify the productivity of people that do the creative work.

  • systemd has been a complete, utter, unmitigated success

  • I dont know what you are doing, but I have my smb shares simply in fstab and never heard of any .mount file

  • TIL that all of the world's 500 most powerful supercomputers run on Linux.

  • Not really, we are not in the eighties anymore, modern supercomputers are mainly a bunch of off the shelf servers connected together
