My jellyfin can stream 4K just fine, even remotely through a vpn so i am not sure what you mean.
Depending on transcoding you might require a gpu but still not a standard “gaming spec” pc cant handle.
Come to think of it, my internet provider does allow upload up to 25mb/s and this is the highest end available for consumers in my area. Technically thats a subscription but realistically its bill similar to water/electricity.
The upload limit is also purely and artificial cap, they could easily quadruple it if they wanted.
Also Realistically usecase for 4k movies is usually your home couch so it be streamed on Lan speed. Quality is often better than common stream providers because they do cheat to keep bandwidth down.
What kind of subscriptions require large infrastructure?
Music/media/cloudstorage can all run on a single pc/server costing maybe half a day of setting it up by most people at the level of having switched to Linux.
Acces to a big multiplayer game server is the only one that really comes go mind.
If it’s just for a few people there is very little need for maintenance, rarely any developer work.
Your not wrong that corporations win regardless of the party but how does a Trump appointee removing posts turn into an example of democrats being guilty of this?
Like, there is a inexhaustible lists of examples of how the class war is ingrained in politics, you don’t need to invent any and regardless of your intentions i doubt this is accomplishing them.
That may have been his intention but the many worlds interpretation is still a valid theory considered by equally professional scientists.
Personally i think when we are dealing with proper unknowns its best to not make any assumptions of what is normal/absurd at all. Some answers may literally beyond our comprehension.
Monopoly on ideas is though police. Information that is not hidden for personal reasons should always be free.
All of human creativity is recycled from internal interpretations, interpretations from the real world that we live in that is increasingly blocked off with real punishment to conceptual crime.
Turns out my “quantum superposition rifts” where certain spaces (biomes) exist in multiple locations at once allowing seemless passing between worlds, are not as original as i thought.
Well i don’t know how Dan Simmons
Explained the science behind it but in effect it would end up very similar.
I am not saying i understand it at all. My comment is genuine, not rhetorical.
On the contrary i express that i do not understand this to the point of deeming it strange or weird, triggering my curiosity.
I was hoping someone would chime in an explain how text generator techniques (which i do know alot about) known to have no capacity to use real world reason or logic can be used to help solve dna puzzles unless as a sub module of general machine learning. In which that later case would be within my understanding
I actually had a friend who jokingly mocked me for liking ai because i was initially very exited ablut Dall-E and ChatGPT 3.5
Back then i could only see the potential that it continues to have. OpenAI appeared to have altruistic goals and was a non profit. Trojan horse it turned out to be.
Had to make pretty clear to my friend that “ yes, but not like this, everything but this” about the current slop situation.
For a person who already actively uses comfyui, knows how the different nodes work,
Makes complex flows with them,
Making their own checkpoints is not a big step up.
I have not gotten to this level myself yet, i am still learning how to properly using different and custom nodes, and yes
In the mean time yes, i experiment with public models that use stolen artwork. But i am not posting any of the results, its pure personal use practice.
I have already seen some stuff about making your own models/checkpoints, if i ever get happy enough with my skills to post it as art then having my own feels like a must. The main reason i haven’t is cause it does take a lot of time to prepare the training data.
People that don’t use their models while calling themselves artist are cheating themselves most of all.
To explain what proxmox is its basicly virtualisation software, it can run vms but also lxc (light linux containers) and share resources very efficiently between all of them
Jellyfin, radarr, sonar. They are all included in the helper scripts, each will be a dedicated lxc.
Its also very easy to setup raid and there own storage format is very efficient.
Its well documented to the point that any decent llm can help you learn whatever you need. In fact its claude that helped me
setup my own proper raid on proxmox, also tought me about datasets and how i can make those available to different lxc
Personally i am very hands off with my server, the hardest part is often choosing what ip i want to give a service, i rarely update or mess with it if not strictly necessary.
For hardware i recommend plenty of ram (can
Be bought and installed seperatly), more cores is usually better and internal graphics can save you some hassle depending on what you are doing (also allows you to dedicate a
Big gpu to some services).
A warning on second hand corporate machines, the performance is often good
But quite fans are often an afterthought. I onxe got a beast of machine for free but you could hear it spin from anywhere in my house.
A good practical case is always a blessing when you need to check the insides.
If you download a checkpoint from non trustworthy sources definitely and that is the majority of people, but also the majority that does not use the technical tools that deep nor cares about actual art (mostly porn if the largest distributor of models civitai is a reference).
The technical tool that allow actual creativity is called comfyui, and this is open source. I have yet to see anything that is even comparable. Other creative tools (like the krita plugin) use it as a backend.
I am willing to believe that someone with a soul for art and complex flows would also make their own models, which naturally allows much more creativity and is not that hard to do.
Look you seem sincere but lost, the vast majority of people here are atheists and will not take kindly to advise to study some religious book they never heard of.
There is no point in asking people why they choose to go to hell because they don’t believe in it (or any afterlife). And this does not stop them from trying to live good ethical lives either.
But do i find myself conflicted about dismissing it as a potential technical skill all together.
I have seen comfy-ui workflows that are build in a very complex way, some have the canvas devided in different zones, each having its own prompts. Some have no prompts and extract concepts like composition or color values from other files.
I compare these with collage-art which also exists from pre existing material to create something new.
Such tools take practice, there are choices to be made, there is a creative process but its mostly technological knowledge so if its about such it would be right to call it a technical skill.
The sad reality however, is how easy it is to remove parts of that complexity “because its to hard” and barebones it to simple prompt to output. At which point all technical skill fades and it becomes no different from the online generators you find.
