Get a cheap VPS and set up a VPN of your choice.

I mean it sucks for him, but after having been away for three months with more leave time coming the company probably doesn't have any obligation to keep him hired.

At least that's the case here in Switzerland (if you worked for a company long enough) and I'd be surprised if the US had better protections.

I don't know of any project that already supports that AI processor. You'd still be using the CPU and GPU at the moment.

I can really recommend XCP-ng. For me it strikes a pretty good balance of features and ease of use.

You mean to tell me nhentai is your model porn site?

exu ,
@exu@feditown.com avatar

A lot of the stuff you get on nhentai is sometimes questionable. Like 12y/o looking sister questionable.
And what exactly did nhentai figure out that Pornhub didn't?

You mean just not caring or something else?
Thing is, you can't just do that as a registered corporation, even if you're from another country.

It will be the workers, with their courage, resolution and self-sacrifice, who will be chiefly responsible for achieving victory. The petty bourgeoisie will hesitate as long as possible and remain fearful, irresolute and inactive; but when victory is certain it will claim it for itself and will call upon the workers to behave in an orderly fashion, and it will exclude the proletariat from the fruits of victory. ... the rule of the bourgeois democrats, from the very first, will carry within it the seeds of its own destruction, and its subsequent displacement by the proletariat will be made considerably easier..

Using whatever works better for the current project is doing Hybrid Cloud. Now your boss can brag about how modern the infrastructure is.

An active fork (last I checked) would be hyfetch.

If you're in Europe, Hetzner Cloud offers some of the best deals you can get from a reliable hoster.

You can install Wireguard or another VPN to encrypt your traffic to the VPS.

It feels like I heard that somewhere before and looking at my profile, I did cancel Jellyfin at some point.

I supported Finamp for a while until they removed sponsoring, guess I'll do Findroid now.

And they now have a working release pipeline, so releasing often is easier.

You'll want to install a reverse proxy of your choice on the VPS. Have clients access it over ipv4 and configure it to proxy pass it to your ipv6 address. Nginx at least is capable of doing ipv4 & ipv6 -> ipv4, I think the inverse should also be possible.

You can use OpenCL instead of ROCm for GPU offloading. In my tests with llama.cpp that improved performance massively.

Definitely do benchmarks for how many layers you can offload to the GPU. You'll see when it's too many, as performance will crater.

By launching llama.cpp as a server you'll actually be able to continue to use openwebui as you currently have.

It's probably still more efficient to keep a 192k opus and a 320k mp3 around than one flac.

@exu@feditown.com avatar

Yeah, they're more power hungry, but they're also way more performant than a pi 4.

On my phone (Android, LineageOS) there's an option in the hotspot settings to allow clients to use the active VPN.

VAAPI is the "standard" interface for hardware en-/decoding on Linux. It should work with any GPU using the open source drivers and mesa.

I don't know how QSV can be installed; AMF, the AMD equivalent, is limited to their proprietary driver.

Syncing two instances sounds like a fun challenge. I think there's some project to replicate an sqlite db over the network. Similarly, you could use ceph or other distributed storage for the media.

I built something like this for Nextcloud a few years back, fun times.

@exu@feditown.com avatar

Support by packages is generally there. What is lacking however, are drivers for video acceleration and many other soc- and often board-specific customisations required.

X86 in contrary offers one unified and queriable interface (ACPI, UEFI) that makes custom images unnecessary. ARM has ServerReady for that, however I'm not aware of any consumer chip that implements this.

Update available! This version is very old.

Xscreensaver has apparently been checking for updates and is disappointed that it hasn't had one for 14 months because Debian is too stable. Can anyone recommend a linux screensaver which would work with xfce and can be trusted to never do that?

exu ,
@exu@feditown.com avatar

Maybe ironically, the dev acutally makes a good case for why Wayland should be the future in that post. (Crashing the screen locker doesn't cause it to display your desktop instead)

Have you never just run an nmap of the whole network and made a list of ip addresses that are occupied?

What are you all doing for android "provisioning"?

Hi! I'm swapping my daily android phone for the nth time today and going through my set-up "check-list". As apps are updating/installing, I thought I'd check in with the hive-mind, what are you all doing to make the process easier? Maybe you know of a way to self-host some sort of android profile server? I'll post my process +...

After installing Lineage, I root the phone and install Neo Backup.
Then I just make an up to date backup on my old phone, copy that over (easiest with KDE Connect), and restore. That deals with about 60% of the apps and their data. The rest are mostly apps where I have to log in again and some special cases like WhatsApp or Signal where using their own backups is required.

I made a list when I changed my phone last year of working/non-working apps from my phone at that point.

Permissions don't carry over and have to be regranted to every app.

I started with Porkbun, but I also have some domains on Gandi because they offer a CC TLD I wanted.

I'm pretty happy with Authentik. Bitwarden at least has no issues with auto-filling the username and password fields when I want to log in.

It is also a very complete solution offering basically any current authentication protocol and integration with other providers.

For hard drives Toshiba, though SeaGate would be my second pick. Fuck WD.

On SSDs I go on Wikipedia and look at a list of flash + controller manufacturers and pick one of those. (Samsung, Kioxia (I think), Sandisk)

I'm pretty happy with XCP-ng with their XenOrchestra management interface. XenOrchestra has a free and enterprise version, but you can also compile it from source to get all the enterprise features. I'd recommend this script: https://github.com/ronivay/XenOrchestraInstallerUpdater

I'd say it's a slightly more advanced ESXi with vCenter and less confusing UI than Proxmox.

Llama.cpp supports OpenCL as well and performs better than rocm in my limited experience. That should work on basically any GPU.

Also not FOSS, but I'm using Summit.
It's the only client on Android I'm aware of that has mod-tools built in.
