I have a similar setup to @[email protected] in regards to my home network and I wouldn't dream of removing my wifi network. I still consider wired to be superior though it rarely matters at those latencies.

My Windows laptop on wifi:

My Fedora on wired network:

That they do, but your contacts doesn't have to get it anymore.
A self-hosted matrix stack built from source with matrix clients built from source with e2ee implemented that you yourself have the competence to verify the encryption and safety of would be the only secure communication I know of if you don't want to trust a third party.

wired level speed and ~~reliability.~~

While WiFi is a lot better nowadays I've never seen it reach the reliability of wired networks.

Yeah, the glaring problem of having to share your phone number is gone too:

Thanks for the insight. Kinda sad how selfhosted LLM or ML means Nvidia is a must have for the best experience.

How cheap must rivalling high vram offerings be to upset the balance and move devs towards Intel/AMD?
Do you think their current platform offerings are mature enough to grab market share with "more for less" hardware or is the software support advantage just too large?

Had a discussion with @[email protected] touching on this over at [email protected] yesterday. (https://lemmy.world/post/23245782 )
Well, inexperienced me asked bruce questions to be exact.
The most interesting part for me would be how the rumored clamshell ARC gpus could upset the balance if the price is right.
If a 24gb b580 or 32gb b770 for a much lower price then nvidia/amd offerings is available how would that affect market share and software development in the field?

OpenAI does not make hardware.

Yeah, I didn't mean to imply that either. I meant to write OneAPI. :D
It's just that I'm afraid Nvidia get the same point as raspberry pies where even if there's better hardware out there people still buy raspberry pies due to available software and hardware accessories. Which loops back to new software and hardware being aimed at raspberry pies due to the larger market share. And then it loops.

Now if someone gets a CUDA competitor going that runs equally well on Nvidia, AMD and Intel GPUs and becomes efficient and fast enough to break that kind of self-strengthening loop before it's too late then I don't care if it's AMDs ROCm or Intels OneAPI. I just hope it happens before it's too late.

[–] anamethatisnt 2 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (3 children)

That do sound difficult to navigate.
With ~~OpenAPI~~ OneAPI being backed by so many big names, do you think they will be able to upset CUDA in the future or has Nvidia just become too entrenched?
Would a B580 24GB and B770 32GB be able to change that last sentence regarding GPU hardware worth buying?

I don't have any personal experience with selfhosted LMMs, but I thought that ipex-llm was supposed to be a backend for llama.cpp?

Do you have time to elaborate on your experience?

I see your point, they seem to be investing in every and all areas related to AI at the moment. Personally I hope we get a third player in the dgpu segment in the form of Intel ARC and that they successfully breaks the Nvidia CUDA hegemony with their OneAPI:

All GDDR6 modules, be they from Samsung, Micron, or SK Hynix, have a data bus that's 32 bits wide. However, the bus can be used in a 16-bit mode—the entire contents of the RAM are still accessible, just with less peak bandwidth for data transfers. Since the memory controllers in the Arc B580 are 32 bits wide, two GDDR6 modules can be wired to each controller, aka clamshell mode.

With six controllers in total, Intel's largest Battlemage GPU (to date, at least) has an aggregated memory bus of 192 bits and normally comes with 12 GB of GDDR6. Wired in clamshell mode, the total VRAM now becomes 24 GB.

We may never see a 24 GB Arc B580 in the wild, as Intel may just keep them for AI/data centre partners like HP and Lenovo, but you never know.

Well, it would be a cool card if it's actually released. Could also be a way for Intel to "break into the GPU segment" combined with their AI tools:

They’re starting to release tools to use Intel ARC for AI tasks, such as AI Playground and IPEX LLM:

I often only use the left earpiece when listening to music and that can make stereo-mixed songs sound really weird. Instead of remixing my library to send all audio on both L and R it's easier if I can ask my player to do that for me.
On the desktop it's as easy as going to Audio settings and choose "Stereo Audio Output Mode" to "Mono" but I find nothing like it in the Android app.
I imagine I'm not alone.
How have you solved it?

Solution:

@[email protected]
On your Android settings (check the Hearing Accessibility menu) there is systemwide mono output availability on some devices.

 

Så utredningen har kommit fram till att vi ska få låna mer och amortera mindre. För att hjälpa nya köpare att komma in på marknaden.

Men kommer det inte bara leda till att priserna stiger och att den som har 300 000 SEK i kontantinsats nu budar upp priset till 3 000 000 SEK istället för 2 000 000 SEK och amorterar 27 000 SEK (1% av 2,7M SEK) per år istället för 34 000 SEK (2% av 1,7M SEK) per år och blir än mer räntekänslig eftersom lånet blivit såpass mycket större?

Sist jag kollade på bolån begränsade banken till 4,5 gånger årsinkomsten, så ett skuldkvottak på 5,5 gånger årsinkomsten kommer i realiteten inte ändra mycket. Kanske att bankerna låter en låna mer eftersom de har ett explicit statligt godkännande på att ta större risker.

Och den som drömde om en 1:a eller 2:a ser sig fortsatt utkonkurrerad av de med större besparingar/rikare föräldrar.
Den enda jag ser hjälpas av ändringarna är de som redan äger och som ser sin bostad stiga i värde (men inte lånet) men det har ju bara betydelse om man ska sälja / låna mer för att renovera.
Kan också kortsiktigt hjälpa plånboken genom minskad amortering.

Once upon a time you could get a small android device with good specs.
https://www.gsmarena.com/sony_xperia_xz1_compact-8610.php

It's still my favourite phone, even though it's been retired and is only used as an MP3 player with AUX in the garage nowadays.
I realize that for most people the phone is now a device to consume media through and that the larger screens are helpful there, but having a smart phone that is fully usable with one hand is still something I miss. Often.

Considering that modern androids have about 85% to 90% of their size as display size then a phone with the size of the xz1 compact should get a screen size of ~5 inches instead of the old 4.6 inches.

With the SoC advancements I don't even feel that the phone would require a flagship SoC to interest me. Put a Snapdragon 6, as much battery as you can fit and an AUX input in it and I'm game.

What would make you guys interested in a smaller phone today?

Small tips and tricks (self.stardewvalley)
 

I recently learned that crows only eats your crops if you have 16 or more tiles planted. That means you can plant 15 crops early without worrying about the crows at all.

What are other small tips and tricks you guys know?

 

I'm looking into setting up some monitoring combined with simple automation for my selfhosting. Currently I was thinking about using Zabbix.
I want to:
Track bandwidth usage on a router/fw and on a managed switch and track cpu/ram/disk usage on my vms.
Simple monitoring (up/down/maintenance) on the router, switch, my vms as well as on linux services (jellyfin/forgejo/etc) and windows services (lab for studying work-related tools).
I'm also interested in doing simple https checks on my webuis (i've had a service running but the website returning both 403 and 404 before) and testing nslookup on my internal dns (if the service is up but the lookups timeout I still want to try restarting the service).

Is there any FOSS/FLOSS alternatives that I should look into before diving into Zabbix?

 

So, being frustrated with a firefox addons copy not showing up with shift+ins in gnome-terminal I decided to switch gnome-terminal paste shortcut to shift+ins.
Are there any known bugs with doing this? I've only done some quick tests and seem to always get the clipboard info I'm expecting.

edit: Thanks to @[email protected] I now know about gpaste and use that to sync primary and selection both ways.

 

I'm looking into different self hosted open source multiuser password safes and while there are many options I haven't found one with a .deb or .rpm install - only a whole bunch of docker compose.

Do you know of any good options that are included in debian 12 or fedora 39 repositories or at least that has a .deb or .rpm?

Currently I'm using keepassxc but been asked for something that either has a webui login for end users or an android app.

edit 2024-02-17:
After looking into the .deb and .rpm options available (passbolt or unofficial vaultwarden-deb) I decided to bite the bullet and install a debian 12 vm that I will try out different docker solutions on.

Lazy Tomato Farm (imgur.com)

A pattern for those like me that prefer not having to water and weed their farm every morning.
Turning 2x star tomatoes (sell value 2x34) into 2x star tomato seed packages (sell value 2x60) seems to be a great way to generate wealth offline. Just make sure the seed makers are filled up when you log off.

Med sommaren kommer mer tid att ägna sig åt hobbies och intressen. De flesta har något stort projekt som de "spar till semestern".
Mycket av mina planer har att göra med hus, eftersom jag nyligen köpt mig ett. Jag har många meter nätverkskabel jag vill dra för att få bättre prestanda mellan min hemmaserver, tv och datorrum för att nämna ett exempel.

Vad har du för sommarprojekt? Är det bilmek? Spela in egenkomponerad musik? Cykla från Malmö till Kiruna? Brygga en suröl?

Efter veckor av torka ska vi äntligen få regn till helgen. Eller inte.
Vi har odling av potatis, morötter och lök som försöker överleva i vår köksträdgård.
Vi har gett dem lite vatten om kvällarna men är samtidigt måna om att inte slösa på vattnet i brunnen.
Gräsmattan är en savann.

Hur hanterar ni trädgårdslivet en sommar som denna?
