There are already a lot of open models and tools out there. I totally disagree that Linux distros or DEs should be looking to bake in AI features. People can run an LLM on their computer just like they run any other application.

Yeah I can’t really justify the cost right now either. If I was more patient, I could just wait until we retire another Thinkpad at work :p
Right on. If I was buying new, I’d be looking at Framework or Tuxedo.
Thanks for the recs. I am looking pretty hard at a T580 refurb on eBay right now. I am looking for a bit more modern processor than most of what you have suggested, I think.
This will definitely work. I did this recently when upgrading a Steam Deck to a bigger drive. Other suggestions below are probably faster though.
Linux Mint Debian Edition.
That’s cool. I’ve been confused by their pricing. The cheaper licenses seem to be temporary ($1/day).
So did you pay like $800 for that?
Yeah just boot it up and fuck around. You’ll eventually want to do something that isn’t obviously doable, and then you’ll look it up. A series of rabbit holes later and you’ll have learned a bunch of stuff. Maybe not the thing you originally wanted to, but some other stuff!
Yeah that rings a bell. Weirdly I woke up this morning to an abuse complaint from my hosting provider after years of no issues.
I know about that setting, but this was different. It relies on Linux permissions. Like you have a dedicated ‘user’ for running qBit, and that user has no privileges for any network interface other than the VPN.
I had someone help me set something similar up but I don’t remember the exact details. Something like making the qBit user unable to use any interface but the TUN.
Linux Mint Debian Edition (LMDE). It is going to work with little or no configuration after install.
I tried Debian recently (with Cinnamon, since I don’t like Gnome), but I found it was lacking some polish and niceties that I get from Linux Mint. I do use LMDE instead of the Ubuntu base though.
Why? Serious question. I kind of understand /home, but why the others? I used to do it a bit, but now I don’t bother. I never knew how big to make each partition, and have had problems where something like /boot fills up and freezes the system.
Mint DE. Enable backports or whatever if you want to. Get a newer kernel. I’m on 6.1
I’ve played with it a bit. I think I was using something called DockStarter and Portainer. Like I said though, I could never quite grasp what was going on. Now for my home webapps I use Yunohost, and for my media server I use Swizzin CE. I’ve found these to be a lot easier, but I will try Docker again sometime.
If you have all of that set up then, what benefit is there to blowing away your container and spinning up a ‘fresh’ one? I’ve never been able to wrap my head around docker, and I think this is a big part of it.
That’s what ACAB means though. You cannot trust cops, because there’s no real accountability for them. Why is there no accountability? Because their colleagues lie for them, their bosses lie for them, the prosecutors decline to prosecute them, judges trust them implicitly, their unions intimidate mayors and lobby politicians for more funding, tougher laws (for non-cops) and less accountability for themselves.
The system is so fucked up that reforming it seems like a waste of time. Actual “good cops” get squeezed out or worse. You might as well assume that ACAB, because the stakes are too high to assume otherwise.
