This is just free local models right? Not models from OpenAI.

berg ,

Yeah, so just free models available, unless you already bought the paid ones. I fail to see the piracy part, or the "free chatgpt". You're just advertising that there are free alternatives, which I don't mind particularly, but it just came of as something else.

Hi i am a complete noob who want to get into torrenting and piracy in general can people here help??

And before you say i have read the megathread atleast as much as i can because it feels too buzzwordy for me and i think it is more suitable with people with a little more experience than for litteral noobs also i want to leaen how to in android and not a pc and the megathread leans heavily into pc ....

What is unclear with the mega thread? Maybe get some sleep and try again.

You can direct download sometimes but content is usually downloaded through torrents. If you want to download a torrent you need a client that can handle these torrents, you can probably search for "torrent client Android" and find something, I've never downloaded on my phone.

To find torrent files, check the megathread. Usually such a site works as a search engine for torrents, where each torrent equals a movie, game or some such. So you could say they replace telegram I guess.

At least that's how I pirate, albeit with some more automization and through private trackers.

If it isn't broke, don't fix it. It simply downloads torrents, I wouldn't worry about it.

berg ,

It doesn't protect you from evil executables, no torrent client does (that I know of). It's up to you to make sure you trust what you download. If it simply is movies I wouldn't be bothered, but games/software can be nasty when from public trackers (open for everyone torrent search engines). The same is true for direct downloads.

Jellyfin is great, I have it setup with iptv as well, and tailscale so I can reach it from any of my devices from anywhere. It actually saves me a ton of money, since having sport stream subscriptions is cooooostly, and I just use my main computer as host.

berg ,

I just dislike having public things. With WireGuard and then tailscale, VPNs got so hasselfree that I've removed most things from the open net. Reduces setup time and management a lot.

IPTV is basically paid piracy. Someone else has grabbed most commercial channels from somewhere and sell it to other people. Usually they have a collection of movies/shows you can stream as well. But I only use it for sports really.

berg ,

Basically, yes. It costs me about $140 a year.

Jensen Huang says kids shouldn't learn to code — they should leave it up to AI.::At the recent World Government Summit in Dubai, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang made a counterintuitive break with tech leader wisdom by saying that programming is no longer a vital skill due to the AI revolution.

In many engineering professions you really need to understand the underlying math to have a chance in hell to interpret the results correctly. Just because you get a result doesn't mean you get an answer.

Opportunity to educate potential users about the fediverse

With the advent of Reddit going public and selling user data an opportunity has arisen. I still consume Reddit from time to time and noticed in the threads about these things that a lot of displeased users were there. But when they ask what alternatives there are, lemmy is barely mentioned at all. So if you're still on there,...

berg OP ,

In the threads I mentioned users were literally asking for alternatives. Trying to shove alternatives by posting in subs will end badly, no doubt.

It is a huge failure in communication to pretend that distro upgrades are entirely different versions of the operating system. It does nothing but make Linux seem more complex than it actually is.

The jump in distro versions, say, from Fedora 38 to Fedora 39, is not the same as the jump from Windows 10 to Windows 11. It's more like the jump from version 23H2 to 24H2....

berg ,

Curious way of seeing it. I've never considered a new major version as being an entirely new OS... Do normal users even consider new Windows versions as anything but a UI "upgrade"?

If you don't want version numbers maybe you should run a rolling release distro? I don't think you'll be able to convince everyone to stop using them. They're quite instrumental when dealing with old systems on LTS versions when having to deal with EOL.

Or maybe this post is more of a "I just realized"-post?

I tried, I really did

I've been an IT professional for 20 years now, but I've mainly dealt with Windows. I've worked with Linux servers through out the years, but never had Linux as a daily driver. And I decided it was time to change. I only had 2 requirements. One, I need to be able to use my Nvidia 3080 ti for local LLM and I need to be able to RDP...

love USB

That sounds funky, I like it!

berg ,

Holy fuck. I like Harry Potter and want to speak about it, so what? Because JK made a few announcements? Words do damage and I get that it's already hard being trans and she isn't helping. But acting like this is just building more walls, dividing an already fucked humankind for no good reason.

I respect anyone's choice to be trans, but then you'll have to let me discuss HP without judgement as well. And if you won't, then you're the problem. Because I will still respect anyone trans, but I won't respect you.

berg ,

I don't mean you can't choose to stay clear of HP yourself. What I'm hinting at is that you can disassociate with a group without the drama. HP fans aren't all bigots, that's obvious right? I like Wagner's music, I'm not a fucking Nazi. It's such a weird hill to die on with everything going on.

And choice to be trans? I dunno if it’s a choice anymore than I “choose” to love the same sex.

It's not the point, and I hope you got that but just couldn't leave without slapping my wrist.

berg ,

It's not inherently anti-trans. How can you say that, can't you see what OP wrote? And then you're trying to put a stample on me for not being a good enough supporter of the cause, so bring out the guillotines! Sometimes I feel like the trans communities greatest enemy is it's strongest proponents.

You can't speak for every trans person, neither can I. But if you think no one trans likes HP, or think that if someone trans likes HP they aren't really trans, then you can fuck right off. And if that's not what you're saying, then let it be?

People are weird, let them. If they aren't actively trashing other people they aren't doing harm. Stop being upset about things no one's yet to do to you. You just come of as an leftist incel.

berg ,

So if I'm not both a woman and a man I can't see sexism? That's an easy way out of responsibility.

berg ,

I get it, you think you're doing good, I'd ask you to reconsider that. You're claiming someone is doing something no one has even considered yet. Judge the result, not your idea of what they're trying to do. You're painting a monster no one else sees.

I won't answer your second post to me since it wasn't targeted at you, and I'm lazy.
