Because someone screen capped it from Instagram, and for some reason static images need to be videos with a random song playing.

To be fair… Flakes are still marked as an experimental feature, so they are telling you it probably won’t be documented and the interface could change. But yes, given how widely adopted they are in the community, it’s definitely time to document them better and ideally make it the default for new setups.
I’ve used nextcloud for a while now, but it does suffer from jack of all trades syndrome. I’ve started offloading the things I use it for to other services that do a particular thing better. Syncthing for general file syncing across my devices, Immich for managing photos, Radicale for contacts and calendar sync…
If you’re just looking for an all in one Google Drive like experience for your files though, Nextcloud is as good as it gets.
I was kind of afraid that would be the answer. Do you still need a separate Apple device to set it up? I’m not necessarily morally opposed to buying an Apple product, but I am morally opposed to buying two to use one.
Related question: what’s everyone using to stream from their Jellyfin server these days?
I have a shield pro, but it’s definitely starting to age, and with Nvidia neglecting it for years and finally ending support, I don’t think I’ll be getting a new one. My TV OS doesn’t have an app without side loading, and even if it did, I don’t think I’d want to use it.
it also means the need for societal shift to support people outside of capitalism is needed.
Exactly. This is why I think arguing about whether AI is stealing content from human artists isn’t productive. There’s no logical argument you can really make that a theft is happening. It’s a foregone conclusion.
Instead, we need to start thinking about what a world looks like where a large portion of commercially viable art doesn’t require a human to make it. Or, for that matter, what does a world look like where most jobs don’t require a human to do them? There are so many more pressing and more interesting conversations we could be having about AI, but instead we keep circling around this fundamental misunderstanding of what the technology is.
I can definitely see why OpenAI is controversial. I don’t think you can argue that they didn’t do an immediate heel turn on their mission statement once they realized how much money they could make. But they’re not the only player in town. There are many open source models out there that can be run by anyone on varying levels of hardware.
As far as “stealing,” I feel like people imagine GPT sitting on top of this massive collection of data and acting like a glorified search engine, just sifting through that data and handing you stuff it found that sounds like what you want, which isn’t the case. The real process is, intentionally, similar to how humans learn things. So, if you ask it for something that it’s seen before, especially if it’s seen it many times, it’s going to know what you’re talking about, even if it doesn’t have access to the real thing. That, combined with the fact that the models are trained to be as helpful as they possibly can be, means that if you tell it to plagiarize something, intentionally or not, it probably will. But, if we condemned any tool that’s capable of plagiarism without acknowledging that they’re also helpful in the creation process, we’d still be living in caves drawing stick figures on the walls.
Right. Why do I have to submit a retinal scan and 3 forms of ID to watch porn because parents can’t be bothered to learn basic computer skills and monitor their own children?
Not as long as there are minorities to blame for everything.
Because people are afraid of things they don’t understand. AI is a very new and very powerful technology, so people are going to see what they want to see from it. Of course, it doesn’t help that a lot of people see “a shit load of cash” from it, so companies want to shove it into anything and everything.
AI models are rapidly becoming more advanced, and some of the new models are showing sparks of metacognition. Calling that “plagiarism” is being willfully ignorant of its capabilities, and it’s just not productive to the conversation.
The only thing stopping them is the fact that anyone who wants the data can just utilize the federation protocol to take any data they want, and there’s not a lot anyone can do about it. You can’t sell something that’s trivial to get for free.
If the question you’re really asking is “what’s stopping content on Lemmy/Mastodon/etc from being used to train an LLM?” the answer is, nothing.
Definitely a consideration. In my case, the vast majority of my services are running in docker on a single host box, including the reverse proxy itself (Traefik). That unencrypted traffic never goes out over a wire, so for now I’m not concerned.
I’m not super paranoid about security, but I do try to have a few good practices to make sure that it takes more than a bot scanning for /admin.php to find a way in.
Spotify is the only service I actively use. I’m not big on music fidelity, so for my purposes, it provides value.
The Hulu and Disney+ bundle because my mom and girlfriend use it, and it’s not worth convincing them to use my Jellyfin server.
Prime Video, just because I have Amazon prime, but I don’t think I even have the app installed on any of my devices.
These days, if I’m watching something on my own, I don’t even bother looking for it on streaming apps. I just legally acquire a Blu-ray copy and add it to Jellyfin.
One of the things I like about containers is how central the IaC methodology is. There are certainly tools to codify VMs, but with Docker, right out of the gate, you’ll be defining your containers through a Dockerfile, or docker-compose.yml, or whatever other orchestration platform. With a VM, I’m always tempted to just make on the fly config changes directly on the box, since it’s so heavy to rebuild them, but with containers, I’m more driven to properly update the container definition and then rebuild the container. Because of that, you have an inherent backup that you can easily push to a remote git server or something similar. Maybe that’s not as much of a benefit if you have a good system already, but containers make it easier imo.
I’ve always been hesitant to host any services on a device with a non-removable battery. Having a battery constantly charging and discharging isn’t great for it and could potentially be a fire hazard. I know modern devices have gotten much smarter about how they charge, so maybe it’s not as much of an issue anymore, but still something to be aware of depending on how old your phone is or how you modify the firmware.
Personally, with how cheap you can find a mini PC or SBC, I would just save up a bit (maybe even sell the device you’re planning to host on) and keep an eye out for deals. You’re going to get a lot more freedom and power with those devices, and not have to try to hack around the limitations of a mobile OS.
In a few days I’ll be moving to a new state to be closer with my long distance girlfriend of a year. I’ve been feeling pretty directionless and stuck for a long time now, so I’m looking forward to being able to start a new chapter of my life.
