  • Instant boot Linux?

  • Just spitballing here, but if you use a VM with gpu passthrough, the host system doesn't even see the GPU anymore, so if the VM is off I imagine the GPU is basically off as well. In terms of encryption at rest, you can probably make a separate LUKS volume for the VM disk image, and then lock it when the VM is off.

    Edit: for example I have a VM with GPU passthrough and when the VM is off, I have no way to check the power consumption of the GPU (aside fom using external hardware) since the host doesn't have access. The host uses a sort of dummy driver for the GPU, so that the hypervisor can pass it on to the VM, so it is actually possible for the host to switch the driver and take control of the GPU when the VM is off. But until then I imagine power consumption is minimal.

  • What's your use case or broader goal? In some specific cases you might be able to use a VM instead of a bare metal server. The host would be idling all the time, but the VM can start from a snapshot near instantly

  • Is this a good first homeserver?

  • Unfortunate but understandable. I believe there are public lists of the IPs of major VPN providers if you wanted to make an exception, but as VPNs are sometimes used for scraping too, I can see why you might not want that.

  • Anubis should add an option to "trust" certain tokens or public keys, so good scrapers like Internet Archive can get past.

  • Depressing. And this is all leading to human verification. The government has always wanted it, and now the people want it too. Say goodbye to privacy.

  • I do. Do you block all VPNs? Or is it just rate limiting?

  • Actually now that I check your username I think I have seen your instances before, though it seems like your website is down at the moment. But thank you for service to open source !

  • Does this theory of consciousness possibly work?

    Jump

  • LLMs are usually designed with a "seed" number that changes the result. If you feed a random number generator to this seed input, it will effectively make the outputs non-deterministic.

    So if you combine the LLM with this random number generator, this system as a whole would act like the biological system you described: same input, different outputs.

  • How do you feel about animal and AI consciousness?

    Jump

  • It's not that people can't read anymore. It takes time+effort to read, and unfortunately you, an anonymous internet poster, haven't built enough reputation to warrant the investment. Make a few clear insightful points to prove that you are worth engaging with, and you can clarify your position in further comments.

  • If your goal is to braindump, go right ahead, but if your goal is for people to read what you wrote, you're going to have to really work on shortening your posts 🙂

  • When LLMs output words, are those choices? What's the difference between a neural net producing output and biological neurons producing output, in terms of free will?

  • EU Age Verification Project Mandates Hardware-Bound Attestation

    Jump

  • Optimistically, age can be verified without giving away identity. There are cryptographic methods for doing so. And I'm sure this is how the age verification mandate will initially be sold.

    But after the populace gets used to the idea of age verification, the government can easily get rid of all the cryptography involved. "For the kids"

  • Is Bluesky still worth it in 2026 or is it just as unhinged as Elon Musk's hate monger MAGA terrorist cesspool?

    Jump

  • So I guess the worry (echoed in this thread as well) is that Bluesky could become the same type of platform, given the people and investors behind it. Only time will tell

  • Two research efforts gave AI the same open problem. Their papers were submitted three hours apart ... raising new questions about independent discovery and scientific credit.

    Jump

  • Good point. The article does talk about how Ragavan failed to find the solution a couple of years earlier, but the AI was able to find Broadbent's paper that "gave it on a silver platter.”

    Almost seems like the "smarter" people like Broadbent come up with the more novel revolutionary ideas, then others find ways of applying it to the rest of the world. And AI is able to do the latter as well.

  • But then wouldn't you just use X instead of Bluesky?

  • Yup, free will is what I was alluding to. Part of the difficulty of defining "consciousness", is to first define "free will" and "understanding"
