  • Meta Secretly Trained Its AI on a Notorious Piracy Database, Newly Unredacted Court Docs Reveal

    Jump

  • It's called Llama and it's one of the more prominent open source LLMs. So it's got that going for it at least.

  • Vest way to host nextcloud that isn't the all in one container?

    Jump

  • The container was rebuilt a couple of years ago and I don't think it has any significant limitations now. There are examples using mariadb (which I'm using) and I don't see why PostgreSQL wouldn't be configurable in the same way.

  • The best Cloud backup in 2025?

    Jump

  • A server in a friend/family member's home. All of the cloud based backups I've encountered seem either unaffordable or have annoying limitations.

  • Meta Now Lets Users Say Gay and Trans People Have 'Mental Illness'

    Jump

  • Social sciences are important even if finding truth is messier and happens over a longer period.

    In any case, misinformation is often not something that can argued as just a difference of opinion. There are obvious cases like outright lies about the occurrence of events such as "immigrants eating pets en masse" or "the bowling green massacre", or that the "greenhouse warming effect" doesn't exist.

    Fact checking doesn't have to be outright removal either, it just needs a critical analysis of the facts, and people can make up their own minds.

  • The training of the models themselves also takes a lot of power usage.

  • Meta is getting rid of factchecking. If you want to leave Instagram, what are your alternatives?

    Jump

  • This stuff was happening even in the early days of Facebook let alone now so I get it.

  • Meta Now Lets Users Say Gay and Trans People Have 'Mental Illness'

    Jump

  • The problem is that people are vulnerable to disinformation and now there is little to no pushback on these platforms.

    In a world where people are expert critical thinkers with no biases and perfect rationality it wouldn't matter, but that isn't how people work in the slightest.

  • What are your Homelab goals for 2025?

    Jump

  • Thinking about setting up a NixOS or Guix firewall/router. I like OpenWRT but upgrades are a bit annoying, although should improve with the new packaging system.

    The idea of having a single config file I can deploy on new hardware almost immediately is very appealing, however.

  • Fossil Fuel Interests Ramp Up Their “Solar Makes Electricity More Expensive” Falsehood

    Jump

  • It can and will be multiple renewable sources of generation and storage, with nuclear only having a limited role (especially if SMRs don't become a thing).

  • Removed

    NAS NFS user mapping

    Jump

  • It's enough if you just need access in a VM or over a lan (depending on your threat model) but agreed.

  • Removed

    NAS NFS user mapping

    Jump

  • but there’s no NFS on Windows anyway

    There is, although only the client and only v3 support.

  • LineageOS now officially supports the Pixel 9 series

    Jump

  • Iirc it’s also a prerequisite for full-disk encryption on modern android.

    How modern? It's still working on Evolution X with Android 14 (although maybe it needs custom rom support).

    It would be a bit less secure since the bootloader itself could be compromised, however (but I wouldn't be concerned about random thieves/snooping in this case).

  • Trump Medicare pick Dr. Oz says uninsured ‘don’t have right to health’ in resurfaced clip

  • Trump Medicare pick Dr. Oz says uninsured ‘don’t have right to health’ in resurfaced clip

    Jump

  • That's not the way I read it, but I can see where you're coming from:

    Give them a way of crawling back out of the abyss of darkness of fear over not having the health they need, and give them an opportunity, cause they don't have the right to health, but they have the right to access a chance to get that health.

    Comes across as "pull yourself up by your bootstraps" rhetoric to me.

  • JetKVM's Source Code is now public! ✨

    Jump

  • Tailscale/Wireguard are installed on the KVM itself, not the server you are trying to access. It's just a Linux machine after all.

  • JetKVM's Source Code is now public! ✨

    Jump

  • I don't know if the JetKVM supports it, but PiKVM and BliKVM support adding a multi-port KVM switch to it (see: https://docs.pikvm.org/multiport/).

    It's a bit finicky depending on the device you use (some will require custom cables).

  • JetKVM's Source Code is now public! ✨

    Jump

  • Prices vary but there's also BliKVM where the V3 version is essentially a clone of the PiKVM (and goes for around 90 USD) and they have their own Allwinner chipset version that I have seen even cheaper than that (although not currently). So not too out of the ordinary.

  • Worth noting here that KVMs are potentially a quite Hugh security risk.

    You can put them behind a VPN and they should be relatively secure. I definitely wouldn't expose it on the web directly, however.
