So my setup rigjt now:

• vps with headscale
• all devices connect to it
• in my home lab a vm running a tailscale client and a reverse proxy with a Wildcard cert
• all other services run as their own VMS and the proxy routes to them
• i have a dmz (not yet public) running a proxy with tailscale again for a different domain
• dmz runs a authentik vm which i use for access controll and user management
• backup Server connects to tailscale as well and proxmox pushes zfs snapshots every day

My long term goal is to move to pangolin as a reverse proxy on the vps and tailscale alternative and remove tailscale, as i find its very battery inefficient on Android (no subnet Router etc).

So i just give people access to the VPN and send them an authentik invite and thats it. With pangolin i dont even have to give them a VPN access anymore, it can be done via authentik i think.

A vps is 3-6€ and the tailscale standard is 10€ so its even cheaper, but a bit more setup to maintain. But it allows a ton of users :) so i guess this would be the smallest change with the highest impact

Authentik is nice to have but a pain to set up as the oicd stuff can be tricky. Immich was super ez, nextcloud was OK, docspell was a pain and ocis does not work with authentik becsuse they use different architectures for sso. (Ocis and authentik are a bit dumb here)

I don’t know how exactly they are trained to behave, I would assume the goal of the creators is to have an AI that is easy to work with so more people use it. That makes them agreeing and write like humans maybe? And for sure they are build to seem smarter and more capable than they are, this is an issue we have to overcome. I suppose its difficult to train an AI to say “I don’t know” because its just a mushy mess of matrices and vectors and data is not “stored” in their system but generated to represent something that seems cmas close as spossible to the truth?

It seems this lobby has 3 types of players:

1. noobs with a bit of trash in their pockets and a depression
2. veterans that collected it all
3. veterans that found out a cigarette and a piece of wire is all they need

Tbh i don’t quite get it.

I expect to be downvoted like hell here for saying this, but I think discourse is important. Also, its not meant as an attack on op, I want to get my viewpoint out here for others to respond and spark a discission I hope

You went to chat with one of the lowest their models they offer. It detected an typo and reported it by saying “I made a typo”. You then tried to get it to admit it does not have fingers which it does by saying “what ever the equivalent of a typo is”. So first we don’t habe the language to say an AI generated an false word or token (other than this, which is pretty clunky), second what did you expect from an randomized predicting machine that drew its statistical data from language?

And why do you use it in the first place if you think its dumb?

Maybe this community is just meant as a place to rent and let out emotions or preach to the choir, then I am sorry to slide in here. But if we want to change how AI is used and works we have to find real issus and datapoints that we can use to discuss AI usage. There are enough talking points other than the language it uses, like education, energy, environment, noise, capitalism, human nature and a ton more

I just miss good discussions about political things like this. I would love if we could have a culture on Lemmy again where we upvote good discussions if we agree or disagree. Trolls and dumb arguments or insults can be downvoted. But we will not develop as a society if we just downvote what we don’t like to hear, its not black and white I think. Idk

I like the concept of mistral and its good for most things. Coding on the other hand is difficult. Mistral medium 3.5 often fails to use its own tools to edit files, gets things wrong and ist rather slow. I just had the opportunity to test codex and I have to say its a lot stronger obviously. I hope mistral soon releases a new large model with better instructions flooding and coding skills and improved tool usage!

I feel like they improved that, I had a few of those runs at the beginning as well. Idk how long it has been since you touched it, but I suggest trying again :) and use the map to see other caves nearby

Hey, das ist mein passwort aus meinem passwort Manager!

I disagree but like the discourse

I feel like there is a lot lore right wing propaganda or from Russia and China to destabilize the west. The reason I feel like is that the crazy rich people did not have moral or a back bone in the first place which is the reason why they accumulated the power and wealth in the first place to influence others. Like i said, watch the video of benn Jordan about that.

Also, you might feel or be resistant to propaganda, but I bet your and my parents or great parents are not and they still make the minority of voters

Number 1 argument for me is, your data can be used to manipulate you, postly politically. You might not be a big target because you use Lemmy and linux and a vpn or whatever but other people that are not interested in tech are

Even if its not political manipulation, maybe its optimizing ads so you buy more. Which then can be used to manipulate you politically as you lack the funds to stand up for your morals. And even if you personally do, because you might have a privileged background, others might not and for them its absolutely worth fighting for.

Benn Jordan has a great video about it

At this point I would rather use a Mac than windows I suppose. They are actually rather secure and are Unix which is nice.

But in general, if you don’t care about moral, being caught in an actively hostile eco system, have enough money, and being the little bitch of bog tech, Apple is quite nice?

I mean tbh what is a valid Alternative? Android, same big tech dependency, just different company. Samsung wannabe apple but in shit and more evil. Windows, same big tech, just incompetent company and evil on top.

So apple seems at least to be quite okish if you don’t have the skill to degoogle your phone and use Linux?

In my bubble, apple has very little bad press about security, had few bugs until maybe 2 years ago, then it got worse I think? And the device connectivity is pretty solid. If you have enough money, their devices are pretty high quality, from a manufacturing standpoint. And they slowly allow repairs on their devices again

EU states have handed over their own citizens to the US, if these people have hurt us citizens enough. There is a nice episode of the darknet diaries that just came out

I read up about it a while back, so anyone pleas correct me. It works like this I think: An audio sample is recorded, chunked into overlapping windows, which are converted into a spectagram (the black, blue, yellow, red image of frequency vs time). Idk at which point what is send to the server but to me it would make sense to keep the data amount low by sending after the next step: From the spectagram, the algorithm searches for high spots or notable “pixels” in the spectagram. It then notes the relative position between many spots, not only the next but lets say 10 per spot (propably more, as just a pair of 2 numbers are super cheap and small). We then hash these relative vectors. So we now have a list of frequency vs time vectors hashed in unique strings of our recorded audio windows. In the database we have all songs send through the same algorithm and stored. We then just compare our hashes from the recording to the database and find the song with the most matches.

Its pretty smart and I suppose there are additional filters to speed up the process and make it more reliable. Its just so simple, I love it

Haha i get that. I feel like proxmox backup server is really great together with proxmox though. And idk but I feel like there is not too much to do wrong? Correct me if you think differently, but we use a mirrored hdd zfs pool on pbs and pve, so we have 4 copies plus snapshots ob the backup server. So harddrive failure is not really a problem. And deleting or corrupting files or databases manually on accident can happen, but they can be revived sometimes or restored from last nights backup And yes, the backup server could die, but the drives should be fine still. And yes, it can burn down but then you have a mirrored drive on the home lab. I think its rather difficult to delete stuff on the bps on accident. I would just not delete anything manually. If its too full, either increase the pruning job for old snapshots or just put in a mother pair of drives.

Maybe I am cheap but its also fun I think. Also I feel like my data is actually mine now?

To throw in yet another opinion that does not help you right now: My friend has a backup server at his place and I have our home lab at my place.

Just a rough calculation: 2 8tb drives for a mirror is 150€ each (during a normal market, and when we bought it), so 300 combined. That is 60€per year if we assume they die quickly after 5years.

With a very light old desktop pc that is power efficient we can reach 25w

That is: 25w/1000 (for kW) * 24h * 365d * 0.35€/kW = 78€ per year of energy.

That is combined 138€/year.

The hetzner storage box is 24€/Month @ 10tb

So that is 288€/year.

So I would argue that its even cheaper to pay a friend to put a small old pc at their place and paying them 40ct /kwh is still cheaper than the clouds? Assuming you can find hdds at a reasonable price. But I could find cheap used offers with a runtime of 3y for 100€.

If you only need 1tb, its not worth it to run your own storage, as the power stays roughly the same:

Hetzner: 3,8€/1tb * 12m = 46.6€ So allone the power of running the backup server is not worth it financially.

For the 5tb plan: 12€*12m=144€ so that is the break even point I assume, as drives don’t scale too mich with price?

Ah fuck, didn’t get the memo Linux does not work and used if for 2 years accidentally :(

Was lauft man do bei gedankenfabrik? Ich hab jetzt nur gesehen auf den ersten Blick, dass die ki Krempel und consulting anbietet?

Da musst du bitte etwas elaborieren. Ist ein Handschuh typologisch gesehen nicht eher eine Ebene statt einer Sphäre? Bzw ich versteh es schon, wenn man die Materialstärke mit einbezieht und die Strecken im Material möglichst minimiert, dass ein Handschuh dann eine Kugel ist.

Aber bei deiner definition eines Loches bin ich voll dabei, sofern wir das object aus mathematisch typologischer Sicht betrachten.

Im umgangssprachlichen würde ich jedoch den Hals einer Flasche auch als Loch bezeichnen, einfach durch Mangel eines besseren und etablierteren Begriffs, freue mich aber stark über alternative Vorschläge.

I have been working on myself and somehow improved my mental health a bit through reflecting, journaling, talking openly with my close ones and a bit of therapy.

On a technical side I have been redoing the architecture of my home lab without it ever working before. My end goal is pangolin on my vps, a dmz, a vpn net, opnsense firewall vm, authentik and the of cause all my services. I am working backwards as I want to build a functional base so my buddy can deploy services again if he wants to, using authentik finally. Its a journey. It can be exhausting but to be honest I rely on llms writing boiler plate or example ansible configs for me to take off quite some load. It speeds up the process quite nicely.

My other project I am working on is a light controller software based on a steam deck that is supposed to work like the robe robo spot follow spot system. Most of my backend is done, I need some redesign of how data flows but basically its only the output layer that is missing. Its a huge project and I am learning soo incredibly much about software architecture and software engineering. I am very grateful for my prof that he sometimes takes time to help me rethink my architecture.

I saw a few people about how they find it overwhelming that so many people work on stuff. Donr be hard on yourself. We only portrait here what we choose to. My server project just crossed the 2 year mark. It tales time to learn and learning is exhausting. Some people don’t like working on a project for this long wich is fine. Some people find life exhausting wich is also fine. I have a few privileges in life that makes it easier for me and also enjoy working more than social life which can be tough mentally as well. Also, if you find stuff interesting, just dip your towes in. No one expects anything of you. I often find myself having 2-4h more energy a day than expected, specially if I like the topic or project.

I struggle go see beyond my unconsciousness pishing back and hindering me to reflect in a neutral way. I feel like I am stuck with my own image of myself without a possibility to see the actual me if that makes sense, so I feel like I’m not capable to be and feel myself? Like, in my mind the way people perceive me and respect and enjoy me is only a person I try to be while hiding my actual intentions. I am open with my thoughts and I am rarely hesitant to be honest but I still feel that contrast
