Well, there is always a curve for learning a new UI, even if similarly structured.
But then you could never escape Windows, because most users are trained for that UI and have certain expectations for it.
The Step from Win7 to Win10 maybe would be similar, lots of things changed. (even though we know Win10 had alot of Win7 things under the hood)

zeluko ,

That was an example for things that can be engineered..

zeluko ,

I would be careful with some of these providers depending on your usage.
You are potentially sending a ton of info to them..

I have access to Bing Chat Enterprise through my company, and only because its the Enterprise version i am half confident in using it with more restrictive data.
Though the frontend of copilot is so heavy and sucks, so i have a proxy for GPT-API to Bing Chat.
Had hoped GPT4All Bing provider would support login, but sadly not, so essentially had to reimplement it all myself.

How should I do backups?

I have a server running Debian with 24 TB of storage. I would ideally like to back up all of it, though much of it is torrents, so only the ones with low seeders really need backed up. I know about the 321 rule but it sounds like it would be expensive. What do you do for backups? Also if anyone uses tape drives for backups I am...

zeluko ,

big reason why i switched to kopia, borg just doesnt cut it anymore..

zeluko ,

umm.. isnt the government or rather the judikative already deciding what extremist is?
How would specifically this be different?

I can understand the problems thos causes for the platforms, but the government injecting decisions is something you focus on?
Not to forget the many other places they inject themselves.. one could say your daily lifes because.. careful now.. you live in the country with a government, whaaat?

I'm increasingly unhappy with the limits on AI text generation and I have heard that it's not that hard to do it on a laptop oneself. What is the best path forward?

I saw Generative AI for Beginners from Microsoft on GitHub. I've looked at https://fmhy.pages.dev/ai but I'm not sure what I'm really looking for....

zeluko ,

The GPT services out there use something called 'tools'.
They get presented to the model and the model can 'call' a tool with arguments, which can then extract some data and input it into the context for the model to continue.

I found out, the models which can run on a normal PC (or even a Laptop) are okay, but not super great. (around or a bit worse than ChatGpt3)
The good stuff (e.g. Nous-Capybara 31B or the Mistral/Mixtral ones) needs some more memory and compute.

zeluko ,

Really depends on the location.
When staying in Europe, i never had crazy fees or todos when leaving.
Booking is sometimes a bit cheaper, but next stay is agaon booked via Airbnb thanks to an offer on a listing i wanted.

PSA: Docker nukes your firewall rules and replaces them with its own.

I use nftables to set my firewall rules. I typically manually configure the rules myself. Recently, I just happened to dump the ruleset, and, much to my surprise, my config was gone, and it was replaced with an enourmous amount of extremely cryptic firewall rules. After a quick examination of the rules, I found that it was...

zeluko ,

Yeah, it needs those rules for e.g. port-forwarding into the containers.
But it doesnt really 'nuke' existing ones.

I have simply placed my rules at higher priority than normal. Very simple in nftables and good to not have rules mixed between nftables and iptables in unexpected ways.
You should filter as early as possible anyways to reduce ressource usage on e.g. connection tracking.

RE: Is Ernest still here? ( kbin.social )

I check in here quite often, but for now, I'm just focusing on clearing spam and keeping the instance alive. In January, I was working on the AP module, and there has been significant progress in the work, which hasn't been publicly published yet. Unfortunately, at the beginning of the year, I developed a skin condition that...

zeluko ,

Good luck to you!
But i think instead of waiting to announce planned things you should just show them, even in early stages.
Then we can give feedback, check your code and contribute ourselves.
You dont have to do everything, we really want to help.

Copilot misses the question, elaborates on topic I was speaking aloud instead. ( lemmy.world )

Was using my SO's laptop, I had been talking (not searching, or otherwise typing) about some VPN solutions for my homelab, and had the curiosity to use the new big copilot button and ask what it can do. The beginning of this context was actually me asking if it can turn off my computer for me (it cannot) and I ask this....

zeluko ,

Copilot is weird and can give out very weird responses that have little to do with your conversations.

And of course it might just grab context depending on what you do (e.g. clicking the copilot button might already do that).

I found it works best as GPT model if you disable the fancy stuff like search. It too easily looses track of what happened or completly goes off the rails.
(i believe disabling search is a beta feature in some regions, but its a hidden flag you can theoretically set, i made a tampermonkey script to add a button).

I hate the slow UI of Copilot, so i translate requests from a different GPT interface.

Android Microphone Snooping ( lemmy.world )

So I had a verbal conversation with a coworker yesterday and now I'm getting fed very specific ads. No possible way it's accidental. I have most of the microphone access to apps limited, I have Google assistant turned off and no VPA setup in my home. I use a Oneplus 9 pro, does anyone have recommendations on how to further root...

zeluko ,

DNS filtering only gets you so far. Its far, but certainly not at the end of the road. More complex and differently designed systems wont be bothered much.
Encrypted DNS or simply hosting legitimate stuff on the same domain cannot really be fully blocked entirely or make your life difficult.

zeluko ,

US great consumer protection at work again?

zeluko ,

Why are they still detached? So much wasted space here.
Nad might aswell build up, 3 stories, shops at the bottom and apartments up top.
Oh wait, thats illegal in most areas of the US.. good ol Freedumb

zeluko ,

I dont see why someone would need this deal anyways.. most is already available, and most the new stuff probably too, even without API access.
I also expect the fediverse to be crawled and used for training, thats just the thing about publicly available stuff, it gets used, if we like it or not..

zeluko ,

If it was just forked, cant you just switch the package/container-image and be done?

zeluko , (edited )

afaik, most if not all modern browsers and clients in e.g. apps, use Diffie-Hellman key exchange in TLS.
Some Apps go even further and implmement certificate pinning, only allowing a set of specific certificates the server is allowed to "present".

You can only break it by an active Man in the middle attack, presenting your own Diffie-hellman parameters toeachother and signing them with a certificate the client trusts (we can probably assume US agencies have access to some CA keys and can do this)

I dont think this is very feaseable on a large scale as you'd need to intercept every interesting connection, break the handshake, risking detection, and further proxy and process the whole traffic.
Metadata will be more juicy en mass than the content and easier to obtain with less risks.

zeluko ,

I dont see the "manager" part in your zip archive..
More like a bunch of text files.. and you are doing the job of the manager

zeluko ,

Well the USA is known to only tackle problems as they arise instead of before they could do damage.
Creates a freedom for companies to exploit and consumers often cant or wont sue them.
