AI-powered security platform

mh...

removing the commercial barrier can dramatically accelerate the adoption

It's a subculture phenomenon, and lemmy linux is a subculture of a subculture, so it's more intense.

I've been a moderator on some linux reddits in the past. And the less users there were in the sub, the more negativity, rudeness, gatekeeping and other toxicity was there. But ofc what I say is just an opinion based on my subjective experience so idk.

The linux kernel bsod is even younger than that, august 2024 iirc.

Hey, I happened to have a handful of smartphones that still have an ok battery and just collect dust in the shelf.

If you want me to ship one to you, pm your address.

Gonna help my linux buddies so that they can scan QR codes if their OS crashes.

(not sarcasm)

with dokplpy as a server docker managementweb gui.

for the code push workflow:

  • keep your normal git workflow, commit & push
  • set up a git hook in git & dokploy that rebuilds from source on every push
  • or do it on a schedule and build once a day or whatever

If you're project has an unusual way to build, you could also do a git action that pushes a docker image out somewhere, depending on yoyr git provider.

There are probably infinitely many ways to autodeploy something.

If you need a step bt step breakdown, I can give you a guide based on my personal website, but that might not apply to your project.

On lemmy you'll allways find the weirdos and elitists that have been pushed out of the mainstream.

The linux equivalent of bsod has been introduced pretty recently, so it's normal for few people to have experienced it yet.

Also somewhat relevant xkcd: https://xkcd.com/1053/

Hmm, I disagree, somebody could inherit that money and they don't necessarily have to share the political opinions of their parents. Famously Elongated Musketeer's children all hate him.

But also what about the non billionaires?

Why don't all the billions of left leaning people worldwide donate 1$ each to a fund that serves their agenda in politics and tech?

I know it's happening on a smaller scale, but why can it not be a strong and concentrated push like what is happening with the fascists?

If there was a push of all of us doing it, I would eagerly donate hundreds of $ per month to a left leaning, anti AI linux distro and the same amount for an organization like "WEF but not fascist".

But every time I donate to something like that it has no tangible effect, because the couple of people that do it with me are not enough.

Seems like it.

Not sure if they are verified but it seems there are more models here then on llama garden.

But I knew of neither project before this post so thanks

[–] HelloRoot@lemy.lol 3 points 6 days ago (2 children)

I keep wondering where all the left leaning billionaires are. Why can't they use their money for political and project influence, like the far right ones do?

[–] HelloRoot@lemy.lol 4 points 1 week ago

I'm a gui pleb, so I do all my selfhosting through dokploy, which uses traefik under the hood and I'm quite happy with it so far.

Very interesting talk, thanks for sharing!

 

For $600 the Minisforum MS-R1 gives you 64GB DDR5 ECC, 12 cores, dual 10GbE, a real PCIe 4.0 x8 slot, M.2 NVMe, Pi-compatible 40-pin GPIO, and actual UEFI boot. It runs Debian and Proxmox/KVM.

I've read that the CPU is trash compared to intel/amd in performance and in TDP, but you can't build a mini pc/server on intel/amd right now for thaf price with that amount of RAM.

Even just buying the 64GB ddr5 RAM as sticks will be like over 800$...

In the low budget range you can go with a Pi 5 16GB which is now ~$300. Add PSU, case, NVMe HAT, PCIe HAT and you're at $500+. It's way too expensive for what you get, compared to spending a bit more and going with minisforum.

Yeah you can get old used boxes with that amount of RAM for maybe the same price, but they'll such 200W and electricity is expensive where I live.

My current pine64 soquartz cluster over the past 5 years has been dying node by node and I can't run anything more demanding on it (like game servers or local AI). It cost me about 600$ back then with 5x blade + nvme + soquartz module, a poe switch and a case with fans. Kinda seems like a bad deal now, I'm stuck with all the docker swarm issues and the bad cpu cores and max 8gb ram per node. Oh and it draws 52W. If the minisforum 12W TDP is correct, I will save over 100$ per year on electricity costs alone.

Maybe i'm biased and trying to justify my own purchase ... let me know if I'm wrong about it being good value.
