What (generative) AI tools are actually useful, and potentially worth paying for? in c/asklemmy

Depending on the features and intensity you use, you may save lots of money by self hosting openwebui and connecting to openai via their API.

You can also host openwebui directly on your local PC no need for a server.

Pay per token is much cheaper for me.

Hot Potato License in c/[email protected]

There are a few flaws.

There should be a clause forcing it to remain open source. Another clause should be that the license must not be changed. A warranty and liability disclaimer would be also good. Otherwise a splendid license.

Big Tech to EU: "Drop Dead" in c/technology

[–] raldone01 6 points 6 months ago

While I don't like Apple losing them in the EU would be bad. Forcing them to open up their garden is way better.

Less competition is bad for the consumer (usually). If they break laws though they must not sell in the EU.

Please help me identify this weird steam sound in c/steam

[–] raldone01 1 points 6 months ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

I don't think so. I can only open it when I set steam to open in big picture and exit it completely. But I could not find any turned on sound settings there either. I have switched to the beta client maybe that helps? If nothing works I will just mute steam in the volume mixer.

It's not the music. It might be the big picture mode. I think I changed some settings a while ago thinking it was only active while in big picture mode. Currently I can't open it because it asks me to sign in?!? I will try to reinstall the steam client.

I use nextcloud and immich in read only mode on top. Works like a charm. I sync my phone over weebdav every night.

Post your Servernames! in c/selfhosted

[–] raldone01 7 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

My first server was called xenon because I misread Xeon for Xenon but I decided to stick with it. My new server is called argon. For beefy servers I will now go with noble gases. Now that I think about it maybe I will use other elements in the future. Bismut sounds cool.

I have only one cloud VM and called it firstborn. 🤷

All my PCs get names I like Aveline, Elisabeth, Amanda, Eve...

I have yet to decide on a naming scheme for mobile phones.

Networking hardware gets descriptive names for their location and purpose.
