I think most people don’t have a clue about energy and all the things that come along with it. It’s mostly some stupid culture war. I mean sure an off-shore windfarm doesn’t come without a toll on the environment when constructing it. It’s just questionable whether any alternative is better than that. And having a windmill nextdoors… Well, just visit the Dutch people or northern Germany and make up your mind. I’ve been camping next to one and it’s okay-ish. Way better than where I live which is a city next to a city with an airport. That’s some proper noise nuisance. With the windmills the only really annoying thing is if you’re sitting in the shades of the rotors. But there’s regulations how they can’t be built close to other buildings.

Oh well. I’ll listen to them if they simultaneously show up at the protests against all the subsidies that go towards big oil, all the crude oil that leaks into the ocean, nuclear power plant nextdoors etc.

And I bet to some degree, it’s different sides of the same coin we’re protesting here.

Seems these days, the news articles with the word “Protest” and an American place name in the headline, all gravitate towards the same thing.

Das hat jetzt aber auch nicht unbedingt etwas mit Pressefreiheit zu tun. Also das gesprochene Wort ist hierzulande schon geschützt. Da müsste man das Video schon ohne Ton oder aus dem Gedächnis nachgesprochen veröffentlichen, so wie die Journalisten das auch tun. Oder von weiter weg. Und am Besten nicht selber irgendwas auf TikTok hochladen wenn man keine Ahnung vom Gesetz hat. Wir haben ja auch strengere Gesetze zu soetwas, weil jeder Depp den nächstbesten Verkehrsunfall filmt, die Einsatzkräfte behindert und am Besten noch ein paar Leichen abfilmen möchte. Polizeigewalt mitfilmen zu bestimmten rechtmäßigen Zwecken ist aber eigentlich etwas grundsätzlich anderes. Aber einfach so würde ich das jetzt erstmal nirgendwo hochladen, gerade wenn dort die Menschen klar zu erkennen sind.

Soweit ich das gelesen habe sind wir auch inzwischen die mit Redefreiheit. In den USA hat Trump ja so Befehle unterzeichnet wie ein Jahr Knast für Flaggen anzünden. Also Redefreiheit ist dort eher ein recht theoretisches Konstrukt aus der Vergangenheit. Für Trump argumentieren darf man so viel man möchte. Wenn man dagegen ist, ist man Antifa und dann blüht einem nichts Gutes.

Naja, ich denke die Amis sind sehr viel extremer as wir. Dort gibt es praktisch nur 2 Parteien, nur “richtig” und “falsch”. Aber das begründet sich nicht auf Logik oder ethische Überlegungen, sondern auf Identität. Es kommt drauf an auf wessen Seite du stehst, die Mittel sind inzwischen vollkommen egal.

Aber, der Regierung sind ja beliebige illegitime Mittel recht. Die sind auch weder rechtsstaatlich, noch irgendetwas. Die ICE-Agenten haben ja das Recht Alles zu tun. Inklusive Mord. Das wird anschließend nicht geahndet, weil es ja im Arbeitsvertrag steht.

Vor dem Hintergrund würde ich mich schon fragen, was ich tun würde, wenn die SS oder GeStaPo (als Über-Gesetzliche Spezial-“Polizei”) hier wieder von Haus zu Haus zieht um Terror und Schrecken zu verbreiten. Maskiert, in gepanzerten Fahrzeugen für Milliarden von Dollars… Unendliche Vorräte an Tränengas und entsicherte Pistole in der Hand. Und dann stehen sie auf einmal in meinem Stadtteil. Was wäre in der Situation legitim?

Ich denke in Amerika greift da letztendlich das “Second Amendment”. Hierzulande habe wir soetwas wie Paragraph 20, Absatz 4 im Grundgesetz.

Und ich denke ob es ultimativ ethisch vertretbar ist, Hitler (und/oder seine Schergen) zu erschießen, haben die meisten hiesigen Schüler:innen irgendwann mal in der Schule diskutieren müssen. Da gibt es keine einfache Antwort zu.

Fakt ist letztendlich, wenn eine Gesellschaft Faschismus nicht effektiv bekämpft, lebt man bald in Faschismus. Kämpfen ist aber nicht schön, erstmal sowieso nicht, und im Besonderen gerade wenn Mensch das gegen eine bis zu den zähnen bewaffnete Regierungseinheit tut. Also Höflichkeit und Zurückhaltung finde ich da auch fehl am Platz, während sie gerade meine Nachbarn entführen, Frau hinrichten, oder die Kinder an Halloween mit Tränengas und Blendgranaten beschießen.

(Edit: Ich bin vielleicht aber nicht ganz so radikal, wie das jetzt klingt. An deren Stelle würde ich es ersteinmal mit einem Generalstreik nach europäischem Vorbild versuchen. Alle für eine Woche die Arbeit niederlegen, eventuell möglichst gewaltfrei ein paar Dinge auf der Straße anzünden. Und mal sehen wie das den Machthabern so gefällt. Und bei solchen Protesten lernt man auch neue Freunde kennen, die kann man in so einer Situation gut gebrauchen. Danach erst kann man über radikalere Schritte nachdenken. Also Filmen und Doxxen halte ich persönlich für legitim. Ist halt die Frage was es bringt. Filmen bringt wahrscheinlich eine ganze Menge. Ich stelle mir allerdings inzwischen schon die Frage wann wir die Grenze zum Second Amendment überschreiten und richtiger Aufstand legal wird. Das ist natürlich eher eine theoretische Frage, weil man in der Praxis womöglich gut vorher selbst erschossen wird, selbst wenn man per Verfassung im Recht wäre.)

Seems we’re basically on the same page.

I’m fairly sure Linux tends to lean more towards tech-savy people, who in turn tend to be the more pragmatic ones and think in a more problem-oriented way. So I’m positive it’s gonna be more about productivity in that community. They’ll adopt something based on usefulness.

It’s just the companies who don’t operate like that. Their AI tools are more pushed in a top-down way because of the investment bubble all the companies take part in. It’s not necessarily about productivity or anything. That’s some desired side-effect, but I think all of it is more about what their investors want to hear.

As if now, I’m not sure, maybe it’s still net-negative for us, the Free Software community. Our servers get hammered by AI crawlers, our projects swamped with fake AI bugreports. While the AI tools aren’t good enough to be of proper help in more complex projects. And we don’t have an infinite amount of money to just push for it anyway and care about profitability in 10 years… So I think we’re bound to do it the other way round. And AI has to actually prove itself, and that takes some more time.

For example, I hope some day I’ll get some modern AI tools in my image editor. I mean I’m of the pragmatic type myself, I’m gonna use it if it contributes to my life and doesn’t come with a devastating cost on society and the environment and other individuals. Same with chatbots. I don’t think we can tell yet. I think we first need to make it way more “intelligent” and come up with new regulations, ways to deal with the negative aspects… Currently it’s a bit of a train wreck with the flood of fabricated things that displace human conversation on the internet, Americans like Peter Thiel who makes big bucks inventing Skynet and push for doomsday. And we can tell it’s not a positive balance yet, because almost all AI companies aren’t profitable. But maybe we can tackle that. And it’s the promise. We’ll see. At least on the technical side we seem to be making progress each new day.

Yes. And these AI tools with terminal access seem fun to explore. I think they’re called coding agents. And we get quite mixed reports. Some people use it and it (roughly) gets their job done. For other people it just casually deletes their harddrive or does other weird things. We really want something like this, though. So we as humans transition from doing the coding to being software architects and the AI does the actual coding. I think it’s very difficult to have things in-between, copy-paste all the time and argue with AI, then nobody has a look at the code, so we miss the security issues and only learn about it after the company has been hacked… I think Instead we want some end to end solution that just reads the specs and does everything including some testing, integration and security and factors all of it in. And for more than gimmicks, it needs to do the job to some acceptable level. But that’s to a large degree a technical problem, and we might be able to figure it out in the future.

I’m also looking forward to AI being able to do proper useful stuff, like clean up on my messy harddrive, do my personal bookkeeping and paperwork… I don’t think we’re there yet. At least I haven’t heard people do that (successfully). But that’d be a nice job to delegate.

And sometimes phones encrypt external storage. So if that’s enabled, the SD card will be unreadable once pulled out from the phone. That’s by design to protect personal information. Can be avoided by either formatting the sd card on a computer, or disabling that default setting.

No worries. Your post was well-written. And I’m glad people could offer some advice. Not even the proficient Lemmy users get all of this right all the time. I just figured I’d drop you a comment in case the mods take action, to spare you the effort to also learn about the modlog and how to look up their note… But seems it wasn’t necessary 😄

Judging by what I know about Torvalds, he’s a pragmatist. Bases his decisions on technical requirements. Not sure if it’s a surprise someone like him tries vibe coding? It’d align with my more fact-driven perspective on the world. I’d also try things and make up my mind. See myself if a tool / programming language / project can be of use for my particular wants and needs… I mean being sceptical about something doesn’t necessarily exclude nor include anything.

Sorry, I don’t have an answer to your question, but two other communities that would fit: !homelab@lemmy.world and !homelab@selfhosted.forum

They’re both not really active, though. And someone asked about OpenSense hardware before and didn’t get any answers…

Just writing this so you have some other places to look up, in case your post gets deleted, I think you’re technically in the wrong community here. As per rule 3 in the sidebar, this community isn’t about hardware questions.

Sorry, I’m not not able to help with that. Maybe there’s a limit how many old messages your server or client syncs?

I suppose it’s old drama by now. And I didn’t check if there’s new one in the meantime. As of now, both projects are active. Both have a userbase. Judging by the lasst commits, it’s still the case that Tuwunel is a one-man-show and Continuwuity is a community project.

Correct. Why do they write “some” cooktops, though? Don’t they all buzz on a high setting? I don’t think I’ve ever seen one able to boil water within 2min which doesn’t make considerable noise while at it.

Just learned, Grok now requires a paid subscription to generate nudes. That won’t stop the average slop, but maybe some weird stuff. Because these people need to put in some payment details. And they’d probably need to do some extra work not to get their personal credit card connected to illegal activities.

I think the only way for us to do something, is to complain to our legislators and make them pass laws to mandate watermarking for all AI services. With proper watermarks, we could do AI filters.

And automatically detecting if an AI image is an unconsentual deep-fake… I don’t think that’s possible with technology.

I think whether you do closed source software is a personal choice. Based on considerations of your application. Like money, of if you want to rely on a company and how well they do their job, if it’s still gonna be around in 7 years. If you can customize it enough to suit your needs. Or you base the decision on ideology.

I’ve been using Yunohost on the NAS. And it’s simple, works well and is pretty reliable, I didn’t get any major issues for many years now. (And in general, community maintained open-source software has served me well. So that’s what I do.)

Downsides as a proficient Linux user are: You can’t just mess with the config while the automatic scripts also mess with the config. You need to learn how they’re set up and work around that. Hope software has a config.d or overrides directory and put your customizations there. Or something will get messed up eventually. And you can’t just change arbitrary things. The mailserver or SSO or reverse proxy and a few other components are tightly integrated and you’re never gonna be able to switch from postfix to stalwart or something like that. Or retrofit a more modern authentication solution. It is a limiting factor.
And YunoHost doesn’t do containers, so I doubt it’s what you’re looking for anyway.

I’m a bit split on the entire promise of turnkey selfhosting solutions. Some of them work really well. And they’re badly needed to enable regular people to emancipate themselves from big tech. Whether you as an expert want to use them is an entirely different question. I think that just depends on application. If you have a good setup, that might be better suited to your needs. And if done right might be very low maintenance as well. So switching to a turnkey solution would be extra work and it might not pay off. Or it does pay off, I think that really depends on the specifics.

Interesting. Does anyone happen to know what’s special about the one service that scores ninety something percent on several books when all the other AI services do 4% or less? Is that measuring their safeguards? Or some other effects? Or does it mean there’s one service (Claude) that’s just way better at reciting books than all their competitors?

Yes. That’s still vague, though. I think we’re talking about brain death in specific. And a point where two things have happened. Firstly a system collapse within the cerebrum (or whatever that part of the brain is called), and enough cell damage so it’s irrecoverable. At least that’s what I think it is. I guess what I was trying to say before: These things are what actually happens in reality. “Brain death” is more the abstract concept describing these real things having happened.

I’m not a philosopher but I guess we have people confuse more things. Ultimately most people discuss these things to find some kind if afterlife which attributes meaning to life. But isn’t that confusing meaning with existence? Biological processes do exist. I don’t think they necessarily have a “meaning” though. They just happen. And it’s not that easy to conclude meaning from things happening.

And then I’m not sure if we even have ways to tell. Other than hindsight. Even just the brain is very complex and made up of different subsystems. As far as I know only parts of it can be damaged, leaving someone in an permanent coma without any upper brain activity, yet the basic functions still make their heart etc work. I think it’s fairly arbitrary if we call them dead or not dead, if we attribute the moment of death before or after their basic life signs cease as well. And there’s the added difficulty we have limited ways to look inside. And does one more dead synapse mean they’ve transitioned state to being dead? Do a few hundred? I don’t think there’s answers to that, so we’re stuck with a conservative definition of a concept.

Isn’t that a Nintendo Switch game? You’d need to install and run an emulator for that, like you did with Yuzu on Windows. I don’t think Yuzu is around anymore, but there are some sucessors, Eden and Citron? I’d install one of those. At least Eden has SteamOS mentioned on it’s homepage. You need to install it, though. The SteamOS or Linux version from their homepage, not copy the entire emulator over from Windows. After that you can transfer the game files and load them into the emulator. Any variant to copy files between computers should work. A windows network share, USB stick, microSD card, a cloud drive or filedrop/sync tool…
