Yeah, a company got toasted because one of their admins was running Plex and had tautulli installed and opened to the outside figuring it was read-only and safe.

Zero day bug in tat exposed his Plex token. They then used another vulnerability in Plex to remote code execute. He was self-hosting a GitHub copy of all the company’s code.

Home assistant Web app would be fine.

We’re a long way from trusting it to do something critical without intervention.

AI would be good at looking at an X-ray after a doctor and pointing out anomalies. But it would be bad to have it tell the doctor that everything looks fine.

Yeah, you still need the CPU to move all the data to the video card and to and from the memory. The stuff I play doesn’t mind 30 frames per second, I’m not really much of a stickler for high settings. But even the shitty unity games are starting to struggle

He wants in on the new authoritarian regime. Slowing down or stopping electric cars is on their to do list.

I keep a root folder. On Windows it’s in c:\something on Linux it’s in /something

Under there I’ve got projects organized by language. This helps me organize nix shells and venvs.

Syncthing keeps the code bases and synced between multiple computers

I don’t separate work from home because they don’t live in the same realm.

Only home stuff in the syncthing.

It tells me what document in the collection it used, But it doesn’t give me too much in the way of context or anything about the exact location in the document. It will usually give me some wording if I’m missing it and I can go to the document and search for that wording.

I’m just one person searching a handful of documents so the sample size is pretty small for repeatability, so far, if it says it’s in there, it’s in there. It definitely misses things though, I’m still early in the process. I need to try some different models and perhaps clean up the data a little bit for some of the stuff.

Using the documentation as source data It doesn’t seem to hallucinate or insist things are wrong, it’s more likely to say I don’t see any information about that when the data is clearly in the data set somewhere.

YW on the responses I’m having fun with it even if it’s taking forever to get it to dial in and be truly useful.

Trident VGA?

I got a 3DFX voodoo as soon as they came out. GL quake was mind-blowing.

I bought a Riva TNT

Then a GeForce 2

Then a Radeon 9000

Then for a bunch of years I just moved into laptop after laptop with discrete GPUs.

Now I still have a 1080 and a 2070 doing a little bit of light AI work and video transcoding for me. But I’m still relying on crappy laptop GPUs for all my gaming. They’re good enough.

I have two projects for it right now. The first is shoving my labyrinth of HOA documents into it so I can answer quick questions about the HOA docs or at least find the right answer more effectively.

The second is for work, I shoved a couple months of slack, some Google docs, some PDFs all about our production product. Next I’m going to start shoving some of GitHub in there. It would be kind of nice to have something that I could ask where is the shorting algorithm and how does it work and it could give me back where the source code is in any documentation related to it.

The HOA docs I could feed into GPT, I’m still a little apprehensive to handover all of our production code to a public AI though.

I’ve got it running on a 2070 super and I’ve got another instance running on a fairly new ARC. It’s not fast, But it’s also not miserable. I’m running on the medium sized models I only have so much VRAM to deal with. It’s kind of like trying to read the output off a dot matrix printer.

The natural language aspect is better than trying to shove it into a conventional search engine, say I don’t know what a particular function is called or some aspect or what the subcompany my HOA uses to review architectural requests. Especially for the work stuff when there’s so many different types of documents lying around. I still need to try some different models though my current model is a little dumb about context. I’m also having a little trouble with technical documentation that doesn’t have a lot of English fluff. It’s like I need it to digest a dictionary to go along with the documents.

Searx is fancy about it though, It queries everybody and gives you the results that came back from multiple places. This effectively eliminates ads, AI, and unless they all missed it, spam.

Using duck duck go is pretty good for me, if I go to bing.com, My results are horrible. Of course it’s the same result set, but I expect I’m getting less algorithmic shuffling on DuckDuckGo.

I got olama and WebUI working privately / locally and I’m able to insert documents into it with persistence and query them.

Oh give us a couple of decades to screw up the environment enough we can’t grow outside.

Unless he thinks he’s going to serve all that from the die in the next 5 years.

Running a bun two on my 2015 air I struggle to get 2 hours out of it. I was able to get TLP to bring it close to 4, But it was at the cost of being borderline unusable.

Back before streaming I was using the Netflix DVD plan ripping and dropping them on 4.7g blanks. I had a few binders of just my favorite stuff. I owned all the originals for all the Disney that I could get my hands on and all of my favorite cult classics. But what I was really missing was TV shows. TV shows are just expensive as hell in DVD format.

When streaming hit I finally got around to testing Netflix out. My child got fixated Chuggington. He was halfway through when they pulled it from the streaming service. I started digging around, but at the time it was really hard to find TV content. I eventually managed to get the rest of chuggington. I bought a lifetime subscription to playon, and from then on anytime he started to show a strong interest in a show I would just go ahead and record the whole thing I put it locally on tversity at the time. But Netflix just kept having the same patterns of dropping stuff off. The websites started with these are the things you should watch before they disappear from Netflix. I was just done with trusting them.

Years later the same kind of things happened with Amazon. I remember Sheriff Callie being a real pain in the rump. It went from free streaming to purchase seasons only overnight.

Eventually, Playon abandoned their lifetime client and I just went straight to newsgroup/torrent.

It’s crazy as hell watching that form factor reduce. The early bipeds looked like first generation NASA moon landing suits. That thing looks small enough to fit in clothing you could buy at a local department store.

And while I think the 360 pivoting hips are an interesting touch I really wish they would constrain themselves to human anatomical moves.

That’s not simping, The vast majority of that’s paid marketing.

My 7th gens are just starting to become a problem for gaming.

I never stopped. I have streaming video and audio subscriptions, But I’ve never stopped keeping up my catalogs.

Every time I get over invested in one company or another they end up going out of business or selling and reducing half of their catalog. I’ll give d+ their sub for Agatha, I’ll give Hulu their sub for Futurama. When Wednesday comes back I’ll swap D+ for Netflix for the season again. But every single one of those episodes still goes to my local archive The same as if I would have recorded or a VHS tape in the '90s.
