By recycle it, do you mean throw it in the blue bin? Because if so that's not really recycling. That's just choosing to throw it in an overseas landfill instead of a local one.
They didn't though...
You didn't even bother reading it. This isn't counting investment, it's straight up losing money right now, not counting investment. Microsoft's customer model charges $10 a month/user to use it and it's turned out to cost $30 a month/user. The other big firms are seeing similar costs.
These LLM require huge amounts of processing, then when your users are spending resources to do very simple tasks, which is basically all the models are useful for right now, it costs a stupid amount of money to do stupid things.
This is not to say that it cant be useful in the future, or smaller purpose built models can't be useful. But these vast generic models literally hemorrhage money as it stands.
I mean it's already impacted our economy, a lot of businesses have hemorrhaged money on it: https://siliconangle.com/2023/10/09/report-big-tech-firms-still-struggling-monetize-generative-ai-services/
Bet. Give me puppies as a service.
Yes Judaism is a religion but being "Jewish" isn't. It's an ethno-religion. There are actually quite a few atheist Jews in the world.
Being Jewish doesn't actually necessitate you practicing Judaism. You can actually take a DNA test and prove if you are Jewish, but no DNA test can prove if you go to Temple.
So to answer you question. Yes and no, depending on what you're asking.
People who deploy professionally / on scale / create customs images for other things are tech savvy enough and know how to disable SSH - no need to have it disabled by default.
I think you've solved your own problem. The people that are savvy enough to do it know how to enable it and it's not a real impact to them. But by disabling it, the people that don't are protected. Which is why this is a standard practice across Linux distros.
None of this forces you to use their imager though... It's barely a hoop, most people running multiple pi's as servers will have done this for a reason other than ssh anyway.
And yes one solution to this security problem is to require changing the username and password, the more effective solution is to not have the process running at all, unless specifically enabled. I'm sure that sentence sounds familiar from your company's security team.
Raspberry pi's serve a lot of purposes, many of those purposes don't need ssh. But if you enable it by default that opens the pi up to being a target, which we saw be a huge problem before this change.
Also, this is not the only distribution that has ssh disabled by default. It's just the only popular distribution I'm aware of that doesn't have a server image option 🤷♂️ it's actually standard security procedure.
For example, if you install Ubuntu desktop, it'll have ssh disabled, because it is standard. Pretty much any distro should do this as well as long as it's not their "server" ISO.
In any case it's a good practice to backup your images regardless of what hardware you're running on, especially if you're running a cluster, it allows for easy reproduction across the cluster.
I've already spoken about the "telemetry" but here's your ssh login. Literally all the installer is doing is adding a blank file.
Then if you don't want to do that every time, just create an image for it. That's your new image to flash onto the SD cards.
There's nothing stopping you from not using the imager. dd works just fine. There's no telemetry on the OS itself, so here's how you personally get what you're looking for.
- dd the base image to a card
- verify the card and image are working properly by booting on a pi
- turn off pi
- insert card into computer and create file in boot directory
- create a new bootable backup image from the card, and save that on the computer it's plugged into, cloud or local backup storage you're running, whatever
- dd that image as the base image for all new cards.
Also WRT telemetry: https://forums.raspberrypi.com/viewtopic.php?t=341514
The only telemetry is pertaining to what the imager is burning to the card. So if you don't use the imager there's no telemetry, if you use the imager but disable telemetry, there's no telemetry, if you don't disable it, it just sends back what you're installing.
