I think he's talking about that specific account in the group, I think. I've also noticed several other posts with that profile picture of the black guy with a hat and sunglasses sitting in his car.

This is important. I dunno about scale, but backups. I started out hosting a chat room on a raspberry pi. It was a fun side project. But then, that became where my friends all hung out. That was the place, so it became important to me. And then the SD card got corrupted. I then moved on to a consumer laptop. It was way more stable, much faster. But if I messed up anything about the installation, I was hosed.

I very highly suggest using Proxmox, like you say, and setting up automatic backups. And occasionally transfer them to a hard drive. It doesn't matter what kind of virtual CPUs or services you install, [email protected], as long as you have a plan for when something you host becomes important to you and you lose it.

MercuryAlloy - Automated Build Service for the Mercury Browser (github.com)
 

MercuryAlloy automates the build process for the Mercury browser.

I really like the Mercury browser, but I worried about the browser getting out of date, since releases of the browser seem to be build and released manually. So I threw together a set of scripts and overrides that will allow the build process to run without user interaction and on a schedule. You can modify the subscripts to move your compiled executable anywhere you want (like a web server), as well as send a custom alert upon successful build (like sending the link out via email).

This is a more technical project, but it has been a fun learning experience.

Fair. The rest of the site is a lot more normal. More being a relative term, of course.

Any other greens feel under attack recently from democrats in the United States? in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 7 points 8 months ago

Unfortunately the US is just... very right wing. Even the democrats are right of center on most things. This is just a conservative country. The democrats are about as left as you get in this country with any mainstream support, no matter how much we wish it weren't so.

And I know man, I hate it, and I'm not going to lecture anyone that votes their conscious. If you don't want to vote for democrats, and Biden specifically, I can't blame you. It bewilders me that the most we can get from him over a goddamn genocide is "that's a little much, Jack." If you can't vote for that I get it.

Just don't fall into the trap of thinking that the US is more left leaning than it is. We might win on issue-to-issue polls, but when it comes down to it we're a selfish nation that has bought into the temporarily embarrassed millionaire meme. And I don't think that's just the pessimism talking. We have generations worth of work ahead of us.

Why to Use Local Models (media.kbin.social)

Corporate vs Local (media.kbin.social)
 

Ah, the power of local models. Would DALL-E produce a better version? Probably. If it would produce one at all, that is.

I can kind of see why this happened, but does anyone really think there is a risk of DALL-E spitting out a reasonable instruction manual on how to build a nuclear bomb?

Frog with Eyes (NOT) Closed (media.kbin.social)
 

I tried to get SD-XL to generate an image of a frog with its eyes closed. It refused. I even cranked up the attention on closed to an absurd level, and it seemed to get sassy with me.

Blocking and Downvote Stalking (kbin.social)
 

Should blocking a user still allow them to vote on your posts? I'd rather have nothing to do with particular users, and it seems that they continue to show up in the activity for every single post I make around kbin.

Mistral 7B is a 7.3B parameter model that:

  • Outperforms Llama 2 13B on all benchmarks
  • Outperforms Llama 1 34B on many benchmarks
  • Approaches CodeLlama 7B performance on code, while remaining good at English tasks

Retouching Skin in GIMP (jordanwages.com)
 

When editing photos, one of the first things you'll want to do is "fix" the skin of your subjects. I've fumbled around with this for years. I use almost exclusively open source tools like GIMP for my work, which while extremely powerful, often lack most of those automatic tools and niceties present in paid products like Photoshop. So I'll share my method, which I adopted from this YouTube video.
