I honestly prefer if those that have Claude fix their forks keep said forks private and go on with their lives.
They overwhelm the main with their commits and forces the developer to wade through their AI slop that they couldn’t care less to check for quality and security themselves. Then they get angry that their commits aren’t accepted as the fix.

Yeah, sorry, I read your “will you give them a chance” as asking for my personal thoughts on the matter. That not everyone has the know-how doesn’t stop me from self-hosting. ;-)
My advice when it comes to external services - never trust them to keep your data safe. If the data is important to you keep your own backups.
An example is when TietoEvry, one of the largest IT service providers in the Nordics, lost up to 20 years of archived data for their customers.

I still got my Nova7 Pre-Branch .apk saved on my NAS. I really should try to find a replacement but so far it works as expected.

Until an independent third party audit of their vpn services is available I’ll not even consider using it. My drive is in my basement.

the ELI5 would be that frame generation skips a lot of the graphical calculations for geometry and lighting and so on and instead bases the generated frame on the pixel data from the real frames before. For every real frame the calculations must be done.

I got so many offline installers from gog and it feels so good. I don’t have to worry about a game disappearing on me or getting a patch that ruins mod compatibility years after release. And even if my internet goes down it’s available.

I look forward to when all cars with led lights have matrix headlights that work properly. I often feel as they blind you first before turning down, leaving my nightvision impacted.

I usually end up doing it very simple with huge /24 ipv4 networks, f.e.
10.100.10.0/24 = VLAN 10 = User devices and purely internal servers
10.100.20.0/24 = VLAN 20 = IoT
10.100.30.0/24 = VLAN 30 = Servers that are reachable from outside
10.100.40.0/24 = VLAN 40 = Guests

The main thing for me is to ensure that traffic that wants to pass between VLANs go through my firewall/router and allow Suricata to do its IPS work.

If you want a webui for the debian server that gives you logs, services, ssh terminal and more then I can recommend checking out Cockpit
https://cockpit-project.org/

If you decide you want to you can install KVM/Qemu on the debian host to get into full virtualization that way. The webui can be used to configure and manage the VMs too with https://github.com/cockpit-project/cockpit-machines

edit: Cockpit also has a Docker manager, though I feel it isn’t full featured yet. I mostly used it to stop and start dockers from my phone.
https://github.com/chrisjbawden/cockpit-dockermanager

Now I can start throwing more stuff on there once I figure out backup for the game world incase I bork it.

Step 1. Find out where the docker image you run saves the volumes
F.e. https://github.com/mornedhels/icarus-server saves here:
Volumes
Volume Description
/home/icarus/drive_c/icarus Server config files and saves
/opt/icarus Game files (steam download path)

Step 2. Find a backup tool you like, f.e. https://docs.borgui.com/

Thanks for mentioning the game, saved it to my wishlist and hope to grab it for some co-op gaming come autumn. :D

If they truly cared about the kids they would’ve taught parents to use the existing tools for parental control of their kids devices. What they care about is having every device tied to an ID.

Which generation refused cookies?
I feel like most look at me like I’m crazy, regardless of age, when I deny/only accept the functional cookies on sites every single visit.

Insightful, and I too think your ending remark is where it lands after reading the original agpl paragraphs.

Sidenote; a second fork called euro_office has appeared on codeberg to make it even more confusing.
https://codeberg.org/euro_Office

The argument from Euro-office is that OnlyOffice combination of
Section 7 § 3(b): Mandating the retention of the OnlyOffice logo and branding in the user interface.
and
Section 7 § 3(e): Denying rights to use OnlyOffice trademarks.
Constitutes “further restrictions” that violate Section 10 of the AGPLv3, which prohibits imposing additional restrictions on top of the license.

I honestly think euro-office has a leg to stand on there, I’m curious to see what happens if it goes to court.

Hah! Yes, that one!

I bet that if they added pavement for the user path then a new path that’s cutting the corner even more would emerge.

Con: Fewer guides, more complicated setup and having to solve the translation from CUDA with IPEX-LLM and so on. Not everything will run.

Pro: Looking at Intel Arc Pro B70 with 32GB for less than half the price of an RTX 5090 sure makes one curious to try it.

Problem with smaller footprint is cooling and how audible it becomes.
One idea is to use fiber optic hdmi cables and a usb extender to hide the pc away in another room.

If you want smaller footprint then the keyword to use is “Unified memory”, it can be reasonable fast for 30B models and a slow thinker mode for 70B ones.

edit: example of a Unified Memory Apple Mac Studio can be found here at $5499 for 96GB RAM
https://www.apple.com/shop/buy-mac/mac-studio/m3-ultra-chip-32-core-cpu-80-core-gpu-96gb-memory-2tb-storage

When it comes to Nvidia GPUs the VRAM is the main thing to look for.
For consumer cards it is:
Entry level - RTX 5060 Ti 16GB RAM with a price point around 500-550 euro
Mid - Buying a used RTX 3090 24GB RAM with a price point around 830 euro when I look at swedish second hand markets
High - RTX 5090 32GB RAM with a price point around 3500 euro

After that you end up looking at the RTX Pro Blackwell cards:
Entry - RTX PRO 5000 Blackwell 48GB RAM ~5300 euro
Mid - RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell 96GB RAM ~10100 euro

It all depends on which models you want to run, you can definitely start playing around with Llama 3 8B and similar models with a 5060 Ti 16GB.

If you’re looking at 24B-30B models you need the 24GB VRAM that RTX 3090 offers and get a larger context window if you go for the RTX 5090.

If you’re looking to run Llama 3 70B then you need to go into the RTX Pro level of vram.

All of this is based on running it with Nvidia cards, there’s also other setups such as Mac Studios with huge amount of RAM. They’re slower but allow for much larger models at the same price point.
You could also run with AMD/Intel gpus but much software is built primarily for running CUDA (and Nvidia) gpus so it’s more work and not always compatible.

I know you said no “monster rack” but I don’t really know what you classify as a monster. :)
An ordinary gaming pc is also a good starter AI pc, so something like this allows you to do both:

Thanks for the daily strips. I enjoy them!
