Well said. And I believe those diverse experiences will be what makes you less likely to endulge in blind consumerism… I mean if you just eat the standard stuff, buy the standard things, live the standard life… That’s likely gonna be what society will push down on you. And we live in a consumerist society… So the one way out of it is to explore things beyond… Find out what you want, and not what people want to sell to you… And many of the really good experiences come for free, anyway. Having friends, enjoying a day… That’s not necessarily about money. And you’re also allowed to once and again not have french fries like any other day.

Not sure what kind of conclusion to draw from this deep philosophy… Do not eat? Happiness and starvation are just an illusion? Or force food into oneself, it’s for feeding purposes and not supposed to taste good?

But I guess we all have these arguments with our 4yo kids… I don’t like broccoli… And how do you know you don’t like it? You haven’t even tasted any?.. I don’t want stupid broccoli…

(Edit: But on a more serious note: If you’re constantly having issues enjoying food as an adult, maybe try to seek medical advice. Could be normal, could also be a telltale sign for a medical condition. And furthermore, you should be eating a varied palate, that’s healthy. But also listen to your body. Oftentimes it knows what’s good for you. Within reason, of course.)

I guess you can ask any doctor or paramedic and they’ll tell you the tricky part of the job is to ask the right questions. And do some detective work to get to know important symptoms, severe drugs they’re having for breakfast every day because of some precondition… A patient will casually omit mentioning all of that, about half of the times. Calculating some Glasgow Coma Scale on them, as it’s in the examn, is the easy part of the job.

There’s copyright infringement on one click hosters… And a loy of them offer slow, but free downloads. Some newcomers ask a friend to copy a movie from their harddisk or DVD collection… I mean piracy in general is a bit tricky for newcomers. There’s some good resources linked in the sidebar… But a lot of piracy isn’t exactly legal to do. And it’s not really ethical to advise someone to do something that might get them in trouble… And openly recommending things is illegal in some jurisdictions. But yes. Don’t do random torrents unless you know what you’re doing.

Not sure if it helps, but that kind of margarine definitely exists. The standard stuff from my German Aldi (with sunflower in the name) is 61% sunflower oil, water, a bit coconut fat and some unpronounceable stuff to make it hard and yellow-ish. And they put the vegan logo on it.

And not sure about all the cultural differences with bread, but pretty much next to the margarine on the shelves is sandwich toast with the vegan logo on it.

Ja ich wohne auch nach wie vor im Pott. Gut, die Gerichtsverfahren sind etwas die Nachläufer davon. Ist klar, dass die 2 Jahre nach irgendwelchen Taten mit Medienberichten abgeschlossen werden.

Die Automatensprengungen halte ich übrigens für sehr dämlich. Also alle Nachbarländer hatten ihre Geldautomaten ja abgesichert. Nur unsere deutschen Banken haben gesagt das ist zu teuer die nachzurüsten, und sich lieber dafür entschieden die Bankräuber ihr Ding machen zu lassen, und sich dann von der Versicherung auszahlen zu lassen… Ist irgendwie logisch, dass man sich damit die umliegenden Verbrecher ins Land holt. Gerade auch wenn man verkehrstechnisch so gut angebunden ist, wie das Ruhrgebiet. Da konnte man recht einfach was klauen und sich ziemlich gut aus dem Staub machen, es war halt leichte Beute… Und das ist dann auch passiert. War auch kein Geheimnis, ziemlich so stand es in jedem Zeitungsartikel.

Inzwischen hat sich das aber auch etwas geändert. Die Banken haben dann doch etwas getan, bzw sind auch noch dabei. Und wir haben genug Stau und Baustellen auf der Autobahn hinzugefügt, so dass hier niemand mehr wegkommt. /s

Hö? Wohnt denn hier jemand in NRW und geht mal vor die Tür um zu gucken, wie die Kriminalität dort so aussieht? Also ich wohne so ziemlich mittendrin… Dachte es wäre seit über einem Jahr ruhig geworden um diese niederländische Mocro-Mafia? Also wir haben ja Polizei hier… und unsere eigene organisierte Kriminalität und die gehen alle gegen die vor?! Anscheinen erfolgreich genug, so dass ich jetzt fast anderthalb Jahre lang nix großes mehr über die gelesen hatte… Aber vllt laufen sie noch in den Heavy-Rotation-Charts bei Springer und dem Tatort?

Well, I guess if they’re still online and do silly stuff, like not use a VPN, not have a Firewall installed on their computer… Or they re-use the VPS which also has their personal blog on it… There would be ways to do something. But that’s all very unlikely.

I mean the whois is a good idea. Admins will usually want to know what they’re dealing with, and where it’s coming from. But the rest of the steps really depend on how bored an admin is. The best course of action regularly is to block it and move on. There’s so much bad stuff hammering the average webserver anyway. Launching a counterattack is a bit illegal, so that might not be an option. And if some admin has a few hours to pass until it’s 5pm and time to head home, or do it as a hobby and have time to spare they might investigate. I’ve found some hacked servers that way, wrote a few emails. But in practice, 99% of the time there isn’t anything to accomplish.

HA isn’t the only option. I think there’s two other open source smarthome solutions out there(?) And you could probably do with just an MQTT broker and a Python script, or something like that…

But HA isn’t a bad choice. They’re doing a phenomenal job. And related projects like ESPHome make it really easy to integrate microcontrollers. And if you want to do more smarthome stuff, it has a plethora of features, integrations, an app…

Extra hardware isn’t absolutely necessary. I have one server at home which does NAS, and I use 4GB of it’s RAM to run a virtual machine with Home Assistant. That’s enough for it, including a bunch of Addons.

A whois will likely not do much. It’ll turn out to be some large ISP, which rents out virtual servers and all kind of stuff to private people, companies and VPN providers. And that’s regularly how far you’ll get, a name if a large company. And you can then decide if it’s worth to take someone to court, somewhere abroad… (But sometimes an email to their abuse contact helps a bit. Judging by my experience they won’t ever answer. But sometimes it’ll miraculously stop. And most of the time nobody cares about a single complaint.)

I don’t think engaging with someone and their opinion is a particularly high form of powertripping. I mean I like dissent way more than the modern form of making it disappear. Either by mods actually clicking on the ‘remove’ button, or by devising filter bubble algorithms so everyone gets to blast their arbitrary opinions out there without a need to catch any flak.

As far as I know fewer active parameters means faster. There’s less arithmetic calculations to be done per pass. But all parameters need to be kept in memory, because they might become active the next pass. So it won’t save any RAM.

They have a short paragraph in the description. It has 80B total parameters, 3B active each pass. It achieves performance like a 30-60B model (10-20x, their claim). But is way more efficiant than that with only 3B active parameters.

Yes, that will be an issue. I guess not a technical one, Linux is perfectly able to fetch a token and connect to network shares etc. Not sure how that works with Email and the modern cloud office stuff. But likely, the IT department will have to enforce that policy as well. That’s why I asked if OP has to use software on Windows (11)… Otherwise, if it worked 4 years without issues… maybe there is no issue with Active Directory…

Uh. My condolences. Do they also force you to use the software installed on Windows? Otherwise you could just image Fedora and run it in a virtual machine inside of Windows 11. Technically, I guess that’d fulfill the requirement with Windows 11 on the computer… Just that you don’t use it for more than log in, start the Linux VM and expand it full-screen.

Sure. Just saying. I mean the pharma industry also does the studies on their own products… It’s how it often works, Anthropic themselves would be the people with access to their user’s chats… So it’d be more the second step to grant other people a sample of one and a half million user chats and verify it independently. But it’s not really wrong for them to get a conversation going.

I’m far more worried about using an AI tool to analyze and aggregate the usage patterns. But I have no clue how that Clio thing performs.

Though in science, you’d regularly discredit other scientists based on their methodology, less so their affiliation. But yeah, that might be a factor. 😉

NodeBB ist eine gute Wahl.

Naja, soweit ich mich erinnere sind die Bundestagspetitionen und die von der EU wenigstens mit bindenden Konsequenzen verbunden. Im Gegensatz zu dem was auf openpetition oder change.org diskutiert wird.

Also Dinge auf die Tagesordnung der demokratischen Gremien zu setzen ist schon nicht so verkehrt. Was dann daraus wird ist eine andere Sache, aber grad mit den Radfahrer-Problemen hatten wir hier lokal schon sehr erfolgreiche Unterschriftenaktionen. Und es wurde danach auch tatsächlich angegangen.

You could try to debug the permission issue… Like take a note of the current permissions, chmod the certificates to 666 and the parent directories to 777 and see if that works. Then progressively cut them down again and see when it fails. And/or give caddy all the group permissions ssl, acme, certwarden… and then check which one makes it fail or work.
