I like YunoHost. That’s an all-in-one solution to do the selfhosting for you. So you won’t learn a lot about the intricate details of the tech, but you can install things with a few clicks. That’s nice if you just want to use stuff. And that project has some track-record. I’m using it for years to self-host Peertube, Immich a Nextcloud and a few other things.

Hmm… Would be interesting to find out what kind of effect that has on the average marriage or relationship 😅

Likely everyday stuff… Meeting minutes, phone or video conferences and such…

Excessive Maneuvers?

I think after initial installation, you open a browser with the post-installation step and configure a username and password there. I’m not entirely sure, it’s been some time since I did it. But depending on installation method, I don’t think it has a provided password.

General password advice: Check caps lock, and if you use like a German keyboard if ‘z’ and ‘y’ are swapped.

I think pretty much any mosfet / h-bridge / motor control board with pwm should do.
If you have those 4-wire fans with a pwm input that accepts 3V3 logic, you might even be able to attach them directly to the ESP:

But that’s not all fans, I had some mixed results with that.

Well, GrapheneOS is a privacy and security focused mobile OS. So naturally, it’ll have a userbase who is in large, privacy sensitive. It’s specifically made for them.

And yes, it’s shit advice. Kind of makes the entire article meaningless. That’s why I quoted it. But this is about NFC payment. When you hold your phone against the (credit) card terminal at the register. This is a real-world payment solution only. Can’t be used for online-shopping, since you don’t hold your phone next to a card terminal there.

Ah. My instance reports the last activity from lemm.ee from 45mins ago… So that’d be June 30th, 00:14 Estonian time. And the main page forwards to join-lemmy.org now. Looks like the shutdown to me.

Well… it’s 10 before midnight here. I’m pretty sure a bit east from me it’s the 30th already. Not so much in the west. But I don’t know where lemm.ee was located.

It’s 30th of June. Lemm.ee is shutting down now.

if you’re using Graphene, you’re probably overly privacy sensitive. If you’re […] just use cash instead.

I feel that’s the advice for the people like me, here. But I appreciate all the detail information.

I don’t have good first hand experience, but i know the Awesome Selfhosted list has a plethora of them.

Fingers crossed, but we also know Lemmy might not be ready for that type of philosophy. I mean I still don’t know what exactly happened, but lemm.ee wasn’t successful in the end. And the underlying issues are still there. So the next admin team might face the same dynamics.

Wikipedia also offers some (limited) information: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.zip_(top-level_domain)

I don’t think you need to worry about that too much. It’s a very uncommon character trait for constructive people. Alike people who run a successful instance. Most of them are nice. And the very few who aren’t, or are very agitated/argumentative will inevitably run into issues with other people as well… So there isn’t much to loose.

I think that’s a size where it’s a bit more than a good autocomplete. Could be part of a chain for retrieval augmented generation. Maybe some specific tasks. And there are small machine learning models that can do translation or sentiment analysis, though I don’t think those are your regular LLM chatbots… And well, you can ask basic questions and write dialogue. Something like “What is an Alpaca?” will work. But they don’t have much knowledge under 8B parameters and they regularly struggle to apply their knowledge to a given task at smaller sizes. At least that’s my experience. They’ve become way better at smaller sizes during the last year or so. But they’re very limited.

I’m not sure what you intend to do. If you have some specific thing you’d like an LLM to do, you need to pick the correct one. If you don’t have any use-case… just run an arbitrary one and tinker around?

Thanks! I’ve updated the link. I always just use Batocera or something like that, which has Emulationstation and Kodi set up for me. So I don’t pay a lot of attention to the included projects and their development state…

I didn’t include this, since OP wasn’t mentioning retro-gaming. But Batocera, Recalbox, Lakka, RetroPie are quite nice. I picked one which includes both Kodi and Emulationstation and I can switch between the interfaces with the gamecontroller. I get all the TV and streaming stuff in Kodi, and Emulationstaation launches the games. And I believe it can do Flatpaks and other applications as well.

https://plasma-bigscreen.org/ from KDE? I’m not sure if they’ve replaced that since. Wikipedia says it’s unmaintained. Depending on your use-case, you might want to have a look at Emulationstation, Steam Big Picture and Kodi Plugins, as well.

I think I’m fine. I’ll just search for some words in the title and that usually returns the correct post. And as long as it’s the Fediverse and not a closed forum with login or Discord, I can use Google, since it’s on the open internet. At least for Lemmy. Other than that it’s really hard. I don’t think any search engine can find me the article that I skimmed by Friday evening where I just vaguely remember on how it was about some Youtuber that I know, and I have no other information. I sometimes want to find stuff and it’s impossible. With any search engine/method. Sometimes my browser history helps me with that. Or homing in on a timeframe and a rough place and then scrolling through things. But a least for me it tends to be one of the two extremes. Either the rudimentary tools are fine. Or it’s really hard but a “better” search wouldn’t cut it either.

Maybe it’s easier to use another tool to create an install USB stick, like FAI or a preseed file or another method of doing an unattended install. At least Debian used to have those. Though I haven’t done it for a long time.
