Them’s the rules

Ah yes, let’s get LLMs to teach people things. What could possibly go wrong?

😑

Open source: here’s the code, it’s on GitHub/codeberg/etc

Open standard: this is the api/standard/hardware interface you must conform to; how you do it is up to you.

Open standard != open source

Yes and no.

As far as I can tell, the federative model is working as intended, and allows instances to moderate, administrate, and federate as their admins and/or communities wish to.

When I switched to Lemmy a while ago, there was a noticeable spike in alt-right instances and activity, but that quickly went away as everyone noticed and blocked users, then defederated with such instances.

The fediverse model isn’t perfect. No model will be. But it’s a damn sight more effective and responsive than any social media model I’ve seen elsewhere.

I don’t think it’s feasible to blacklist posts about Intel in computer science related communities, to be perfectly blunt.

I gotta be honest: it’s deeply frustrating and dismaying that Intel is tied up with Israel, but the fact remains that, as technical professionals, it is literally impossible to avoid Intel, because enterprise customers don’t really care about that BDS list. Ignoring technical innovations from Intel - one of the leading CPU manufacturers since CPUs became a thing - is only going to kneecap your own knowledge and expertise.

They support NVMe and have a PCIE riser; if you get the little adapter from Lenovo’s proprietary slot to standard PCIE, you can run it as a nic, or get an HBA with external SFF-8008 ports and then find a cheap enclosure to use as a custom DAS solution.

I would recommend:

• go on eBay and find some sort of cheap Lenovo/dell/hp thin client for your secondary node. You can find workable 1L-class boxes for around $100. You can get away with some of the older m700/710/900/910 tiny models, but the extensibility of the m720/920 tiny models is going to be much better.
• for your primary, I think you’d probably be best off finding an old server tower with 8 3.5” bays - if you’re lucky and on-the-ball, you may be able to snipe something like this, but shipping is of course going to be a bitch. An alternative is to pick up another one of those thin clients (making sure it’s a model with USB3, but preferably 3.1 or 3.2 whatever the gen is (side note: fuck anyone involved with the USB versioning scheme, because it’s absolutely indecipherable) that can actually support meaningful data transfer, and then just find a cheap DAS and connect it to that node.

Some foundational questions:

• budget?
• rough desired capacity?
• desired level of resiliency?

Neat!

Also, the full disclosure of association/potential bias is absolutely appreciated. 🍻

Tbh I don’t really concern myself with getting unjustifiably dogpiled by downvotes every once in a while. Aggregate post karma is effectively meaningless on lemmy.

You’re welcome

I mean, technically, that is a zero-day exploit

I don’t get why you’re getting downvoted. You’re right. The topic is too focused on LLMs, and is not generally applicable, or exclusive, to Linux.

I suppose it’s possible they’ll back port it to 6.10 if they miss the window… but as it’s not security-oriented, that’s probably pretty iffy.

Oh man Boeings gonna try to assassinate an electric plane company now, aren’t they? What a time to be alive!

Yeah this sounds sketchy as all fuck. If you use it, I’d uninstall it immediately, in your shoes.

be the change you want to see
