Yep, basically if you take off all the ad-blockers (you should run that yourself anyways), and extra shit and you just need a barebones VPN, it can be like $1/month. Mine is $2/month so that I have a wider range of servers to choose from.
You know Windscribe is like $2/month if you choose the build your own plan right? I’ve been using them for 6 years now on a wireguard split tunnel, and they’ve been amazing. On VPN I can saturate a 1gbps symmetrical connection.
Yeah, it looks like it’s programmed in a 2 stage push, but I’m wondering about safety mechanisms, and how you’d present programming to a user for something like this. I work in robotics, so I might actually have the stuff for this laying around the shop.
Is it weird that I’m more interested in the robot mechanism itself? I see some linear rails on there, but I wonder if there are strain gauge sensors or anything else. Obviously the linear motion has to be programmed for this particular toy, but - interested in how that’s accomplished too.
Seconding Caddy – It’s as close to it gets for “Just works”. It handles all the certs, it’s easy to refresh and add a subdomain instantly, handles wildcard domains, and the config file is dead simple to understand.
You can use https://xcaddy.tech/ to build Caddy with various plugins, I use mine with transform-encoder so that logs can be made compatible with fail2ban.
The only thing that plex has over jellyfin at the moment (in my opinion) is the simple sign on and user options that allow users to have their own usernames and not have to know anything about reverse-proxying a domain for jellyfin access. It’s that little bit of back-end that you have to set up that’s the problem for the ‘normie’ users that a lot of plex admins cater to. That, and there’s some holes in where the jellyfin app is available.
You must only retain chat logs as long as necessary for the operation of Your Services or to improve Your Services
I’m not storing chat logs.
do not do so for the purpose of creating public databases or websites, or, in general, to collect information about Twitch’s end users.
Not creating any kind of public database either. It’s a private tool. Its purpose isn’t to massively-collect data about all of twitch either - it’s to provide reminders for social situations. If anything, it’s an accessibility tool for the disabled.
You must enable, and process, all requests by end users to block, discontinue, delete, or otherwise opt-out of any retention of chat logs for Your Services.
Again - Not storing chat logs. They are processed for information and that information inferred. I am storing reminders for the twitch streamer to talk about a certain subject at a certain time. If I put a reminder in my phone to remember to tell you happy birthday because I saw it on twitch; am I “creating a database of user information”? No. I’m creating a reminder for myself to remember to say happy birthday.
Having a computer help me remember those things isn’t a violation. Hell, even something like Microsoft’s new AI in windows does the same thing - are THEY violating twitch TOS when you have a browser window open? The answer is no.
When your streamer mentions something deeply personal, like, “how their mothers surgery went,” that your tool helped them remember, do they disclose that your tool was involved in that transaction?
No, nor should they be required to.
When the viewer gets weirded out and asks your streamer to not mention that again, or forget it entirely, do you have a way to remove that information from your database and a way to prove it’s been deleted? When other people in chat think it’s gross, and ask to opt-out, can you even do it?
When they mention not wanting to talk about something, that’s listed as something they don’t like to talk about, so in a way, yes.
Additionally, I instruct the ‘agent’ to disregard anything political or religious. - Though so far it’s not very good at distinguishing those things. Additionally it’s easy to feed it false information though it usually fixes it over time.
So this wasn’t a post actually asking what a small LLM was good for, it was just an opportunity you could use to dump on LLM usage I take it. So this whole thing was made in bad faith?
With the comments about “vibe coding” and such, all it looks like you’re doing here is arguing the “merits” of how it’s being used, and you’re not interested in its actual usage at all.
Nobody is being pissy here except you. Small LLMs can be used for tasks such as this, and it doesn’t have to be twitch - It could be an assistant that you build for reminders in your personal life - using it on twitch is a minor detail that you seem to have latched onto because you just want to dump on LLM usage.
Go to /c/fuck_ai for that.
I gave you an example that it’s good for, and all you want to do is argue the merits of how I’m using it (even though it falls perfectly within Twitches TOS and use cases)
There’s not actually that much code. It’s like 8 lines for an AI ‘agent’, and maybe another 16 lines for ‘tools’, and I’m using Streamlink for grabbing the audio stream, and pulseaudio has a ‘monitor’ device you can use to listen to what’s playing on the speakers. Throw it on a very minimal linux distro on a VM, and that’s it.
I don’t do ‘vibe coding’, but that IS where I got the idea from. People who are doing ‘vibe coding’ nowadays aren’t just plugging things into a generic AI, they’re spinning up ‘agents’ and making tools via MCP and then those agents are tasked with specific things, and use the tools to directly write to files, search the internet, read documents, etc
