[resolved] Network access while building a derivation? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

That'd hit the source fetcher just as much. That's an issue on a different layer.

100,000 Chinese students join 50km night-time bike ride in search of good soup dumplings in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 day ago (2 children)

The issue at hand isn't cycling infrastructure. The issue at hand is that, due to typical trend hype cycles, it became super hip to go to that place, causing a shitton of people to follow that trend and go to that one place. That has extremely negative consequences no matter the mode of transport, though cycling is of course much less damaging than i.e. cars would be. The real problem is the amount of people though, not how they get there. If you've ever been to a major train station in the Netherlands, you'll know that bicycle parking hits a scaling limit too at some point.

The local(?) government is therefore fully right in attempting to limit the amount of people following the trend IMHO. What I disagree about are the means because it's typical authoritarian overreach BS. The banning of bycicles is only a proxy for banning going to that place at night because going there at night by bicycle is the hype thing to do, not because they generally want to suppress bicycle use specifically.

It's also never said anywhere that this is a permanent thing. There's no reason for them to ban it permanently. This is just to curb the trend and when the big trend hype wave is inevitably over, the government won't care anymore either and will lift the countermeasures.

RAID array filesystem recommendations in c/selfhosted
[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago

You should scrub your data regularly with btrfs. That's just a mean to verify the data is in-tact though; to detect corruption.

You cannot really do anything actively to keep the data in-tact. Failure can and will happen. To keep your data safe, you must plan for failure to happen:

Expect a power surge to fry all your disks at the same time.
Expect your house to burn down or flood.
Expect to run the wrong command and istantly hose your entire array.
Expect your backup server to get ransomware'd.
...

Only if you effectively mitigate these dangers will your data stay safe.

Well aprarently they've done exactly that and it was too effective.

While I support them in this endavour, 100000s of students in a single night simply is too much to handle for a single city.

Rather than outright banning people from cycling thouoh, they should instead encorage them to spread out to multiple cities/locations. I imagine those places would love to each receive a manageable amount of visitors each.

Power off discrete GPU while not in use? in c/linux_gaming
[–] [email protected] 1 points 3 days ago

It's nice that it's well integrated but that doesn't mean it works well.

Power management of AMDGPUs has always been an absolute shitshow from my perspective.

With dGPUs they've now resorted to always running them in the highest power mode because they couldn't get power management to properly function.

I can't speak for modern intel GPUs but my old ones were fine.

Intel Linux Patch Would Report Outdated CPU Microcode As A Security Vulnerability in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 days ago

Stable distros can and will backport security fixes. Good ones that is.

DXVK Version 2.5 in c/linux_gaming
[–] [email protected] 6 points 4 days ago

Does this now also allow for proper swapping?

Previously, if the VRAM was full, data would spill into system memory and there was no way to get it to move back into VRAM. One of the reasons cited was the lack of support for defragmentation.

Immich Public Proxy: Safely share your photos and albums without exposing your Immich instance in c/selfhosted
[–] [email protected] 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Pretty cool!

Have you thought about whether this could also be used for limited write access? A common use-case for abusive image gallery services that you cannot ordinarily fulfil with Immich is shared albums where multiple people that e.g. attended the same event can collect pictures in without complex authentication (just a single shared secret or even just the link to the album).

Ahhhhh whyyyyy, you've got all of these standard response codes made for you, why would you blatantly ignore them like that?!

Is gaming with Coreboot (or any other open source bios) viable? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 3 points 4 days ago (1 children)

You'd think so but IIRC when Phoronix tested it, Coreboot would always significantly underperform compared to the regular firmware. It wasn't much but the effect was measurable.

Kagi Search Changelog October 17th, 2024 - AI-generated image filter in search results (kagi.com)
 

Better image search with AI-generated images detection

Last week we got quite clear and direct feedback that we need to do something about AI-generated images that started creeping up in the image search.

You asked for it and we delivered!

We are enhancing our image search with a new ranking algorithm and an AI image filter. These updates prioritise authentic, human-created images and downrank AI-generated content. Users can also opt to exclude AI-generated images entirely.

Learn more about Kagi's AI image filter here: https://help.kagi.com/kagi/features/exclude-ai-images.html

We will continue actively improving this feature based on your feedback.

Celebrating Our Community

At Kagi, we’re all about community, and nothing has made us prouder than seeing the incredible photos our members are sharing online of their Kagi swag! Whether you’ve posted a picture of your free t-shirt or a sticker proudly displayed on your laptop, we want to take a moment to say thank you. Your support means the world to us.

The story:

We were thrilled to celebrate our first big milestone: reaching 20,000 loyal members who’ve stuck with us through this adventure. To show our appreciation, we've sent out free t-shirts and sticker packs to those first 20,000 supporters. Earlier this month, these members started receiving their packages and excitedly shared photos across various socials. Here’s a snapshot of just a few:

For anyone who missed out, don’t worry! You can head over to the Kagi Store and snag your first-edition Doggo t-shirt. We’ve got four fantastic designs, each one representing our determination to build a better, more ethical and more human web.

Help us reach our next milestone: 50,000 members

As we gear up to reach 50,000 members, we’d love your help in spreading the word!

We don't rely on ads to drive our growth; instead, we depend entirely on word-of-mouth marketing and community recommendations. This grassroots approach means that every conversation you have about Kagi, every post you share showcasing your swag, and every mention you make to friends and family has a real impact. Your enthusiasm helps us reach new members who share our vision for a better web. Let’s make our next milestone one to remember.

Where to find and tag us on the social web:

We also have a Kagi Community Discord server where you can join our community for real-time discussion about the product and chat with other Kagi users.

As we move forward, we want to reiterate our commitment to continuously improving Kagi for all our members. Your feedback and engagement are invaluable as we strive to create an even better experience. Thank you for being a vital part of our journey - your support inspires us every day, and we can’t wait to see where this adventure takes us next!

fscrypt support might be a little while off, not actively worked on (lore.kernel.org)
 

Josef Bacik who was working on this said:

I fixed up all your review comments, but yes we don't care about this internally anymore so it's been de-prioritized. I have to rebase onto the new stuff, re-run tests, fix any bugs that may have creeped in, but the current code addressed all of your comments. Once I get time to get back to this you'll have a new version in your inbox, but that may be some time.

(Note: This was back in April.)

Kagi Search Changelog October 11th, 2024 - Fresh from Barcelona: Android App, New Snaps Operator, Assistant Updates and More! (kagi.com)
 

Hello, Kagi Fans!

We know it's been a few weeks since our last update, and there's a good reason for that. The entire company took a break from the usual routine to fly to Barcelona, Spain, for our annual retreat - a chance to reenergize and refocus for the exciting journey ahead.

But don’t worry, it wasn’t all fun and no work. In fact, we’ve got a pretty exciting update for you today. The retreat gave us fresh inspiration, and we’re ready to bring some of those new ideas to life starting right now.

Launching the official Kagi Android app

We're delighted to announce the launch of the official Kagi Android app! This marks an important milestone in our mission to make Kagi Search more accessible and encourage more people to try it out.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kagi.search

The app allows users to begin using Kagi Search immediately right from the first launch (no account needed!). For those with existing subscriptions, signing in is seamless, enabling access to all Kagi features.

Additionally, the app includes native homescreen widgets, providing one-click access to search directly from your homescreen.

If you use an Android device, go check it out! We've simplified the process of sharing Kagi with your network.

Additionally, a recent EU ruling presents a significant opportunity for Kagi. Google is now required to include any search engine that meets specific criteria, such as having an app with over 5,000 installs, in the default list for Android and Chrome — install the app today and help us meet the criteria!

Stay tuned for more exciting updates coming soon!

Introducing Snaps

Snaps are an innovative search operator that allows for site-specific searches directly from the search bar. By simply typing @ followed by the designated site bang, you can limit your search results to a specific website. For example, to search on Reddit or HackerNews, you can enter:

  • @r winter boots which translates to winter boots site:www.reddit.com
  • and @hn vim emacs to vim emacs site:news.ycombinator.com

This feature was made possible thanks to the contribution of our user @tuesday ( #1231) on Kagifeedback!

This will work with any bang that Kagi support, including custom bangs you define. Kagi Bangs are open source, we welcome your contributions!

Universal Summarizer for Chrome

Universal Summarizer is one of the most-loved Kagi treats. The extension is now available for Chrome - Download it here!

We had to split it out of Kagi Search extension for Chrome due to rules of the Chrome store. Kagi Universal Summarizer is available to Firefox users via Kagi Search for Firefox and is natively built into the Orion browser.

The Assistant - 30 day update

It's been 30 days since we launched the Assistant, and we're excited to share a range of new updates with you.

Upload functionality:
We're excited to announce that you can now upload a variety of local files directly to the Assistant! This new feature allows you to add multiple files in a single prompt. Here's a list of supported file types:

  • Text files: .txt, .md
  • Rich text documents: .pdf, .docx, .pptx
  • Tabular data files: .json, .csv, .xlsx, ...
  • Images: .jpeg, .png, .webp, ...
  • Audio files: .mp3, .wav, .m4a, ...

Additionally, you can add a URL to have its contents summarised or to pose questions about it.

Stop button
We've introduced a Stop button that allows users to immediately halt the Assistant's streaming output.

Styluslabs' Write is now AGPLv3 (github.com)
 

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.ml/post/21154325

Write is a handwriting app that works on a lot of platforms including Linux which cannot be said about most handwritten note-taking applications.

More information and demo: https://github.com/styluslabs/Write/

I've used it for uni on a Linux tablet/convertible and it worked really quite well and has some nice convenient features for note-taking.

The UI looks like it's from android 4.something though ^^'

What I really appreciate about it is that its storage format are plain SVG(Z) which are extremely compatible. All you need to view your scribbles is an SVG viewer (i.e. a web browser) which basically every computer with a GUI has. Their website is in fact mostly just the output of their own app.
