It’s all computer

Nexus phones were the best

Hello! I recently deployed GPUStack, a self-hosted GPU resource manager.

It helps you deploy AI models across clusters of GPUs, regardless of network or device. Got a Mac? It can toss a model on there and route it into an interface. Got a VM on a sever somewhere? Same. How about your home PC, with that beefy gaming GPU? No prob. GPUStack is great at scaling what you have on hand, without having to deploy a bunch of independent instances of ollama, llama.ccp, etc.

I use it to route pre-run LLMs into Open WebUI, another self-hosted interface for AI interactions, via the OpenAI API that both GPUStack and Open WebUI support!

I remember reading somewhere that drivers beyond 550* may have some issues with linux right now. I might consider rolling them back to a version that was already working.

*Citation needed, but it was a lower version than what is currently the latest available

The short, easy answer: it typically takes a lifetime of service for the rest of the church to determine if they fit the bill to be Pope.

Hey, just tossing in a comment here, I think this post is a good post!

What’s your hypervisor manager? Or are you just bare metal?

For VMWare and Proxmox both, I would recommend the community edition of Veeam. It can handle up to 10 VMs for free.

If you’ve got the funds as a small-to-large business, Veeam’s first paid tier, on a yearly basis, is a solid option to backup even more.

Caveat emptor if you buy a license (or not): Veeam runs on Windows only. I have used, like, a single internal network Windows VM dedicated just to Veeam before. It has an easy to pick up UX after a little research, and the UI is clean.

Well, not closed source anymore. Looks like, in an effort to align with ‘switch’ day that’s been happening on Mastodon, the source code is now open to the public as of an hour ago:

May be a good opportunity for folks to support his efforts to craft stronger user experiences. I know, from dansup’s posting, that he is 100% on-board for others to help.

I know you’re getting dragged in the comments / downvoted, but the premise that the internet is not a fully reasonable ‘third’ place has some rationality, as does the premise that churches have been this ‘third’ place for many. And I think ‘third’ places are where leftist community-engagement thrives, even in religous settings.

I mention leftist simply because many here are commenting from leftist Lemmy instances, myself included. Historically – and for a moment, consider this outside the typically nonreligious, leftist approaches to community building – churches have occupied a helpful, physical ‘third’ place like this for centuries.

When they are healthy, churches have been relationship hubs of solidarity and mutual aid. They have also been regularly used platforms from which to mobilize for social justice and collective action – even today, I know of some churches that are engaged directly in social justice and collective action for queer communities, debt reduction / removal, resource sharing, and more. Liberation theology is gravely leftist, as well, and comes from Latin American churches with leftist clergy and non-clergy at the helm of both theory and praxis. The Civil Rights Movement was borne out of black American churches, and suffrage movements met in churchhouses as much as anywhere else. This list goes on.

Liberation / radical inclusivity activities can spring from any setting where people gather regularly and talk about change. While the internet can make that sometimes easier, it has been historically in-person, where folks gather, that these movements find momentum time and again. ‘Third’ places are historically and functionally physical.

Theory is great for the internet, and even some community-engagement through internet discussions on theory is great. Some, but not all.

Praxis happens offline, though, in anti-technofeudally controlled arenas.

There’s a handful of approaches that may be helpful for this. I don’t want to make any assumptions on what you’ve tried, yet, though. Would you mind clarifying what you’ve given a go at, so that we don’t offer something that doesn’t do what you’re looking for?

I am so digging this!

If you have access to any kind of UX and UI folks, you automagicallly get a leg up on this, y’all. It is goddamn amazing.

Single dev on a personal project? Go find someone in the community who has an eye for design or hit up a design forum. Work has you on a project with only two other devs and limited resources? Ask for a favor from the UX team down the hall.

We are all tryna make good experiences out here. Let us avoid getting ‘teabagged.’

TL;DR use FF

+1 For the Light Phone. Owned both their Kickstarter edition and their latest generation, and makes travel, camping, and more easy when I forward my calls/texts. Great battery life with still some creature comforts we have all gotten used to, smart phone wise.

+1 for Netdata

If there’s a TV repair / electronics repair shop in your area – someone who works with contemporary flatscreens – I wonder if you could reach out and make the ask? They probably have a sense of which generic controllers they would use.

Recommendations to purchase a smart TV but never connect it to a network are futile, as well. Just like Amazon devices, smart TVs will find an open SSID and then phone home for updates without your knowledge.

My recommendation, when these kind of topics come up, is: either exchange your smart TV for a dumb one, or go to an electronics repair shop to have a board or two exchanged (depending on the make and model, older dumb components may be direct-ish replacements for smart ones).

EDIT: Another option? Try a projector! I was looking for dumb TV options online after writing up this comment, and someone on an old Reddit post recommended it. Great idea.

2nd EDIT: Someone else also recommended buying digital signage, another solid dumb display option.
