In current climate? I’d say almost the opposite, get 16 gigz of RAM and only add more if you really need it or if it gets cheaper. You can add ram any time, it’s the beauty of a desktop pc builds.

Imho they are first and foremost entertainment. If you take it as such, it’s fun. Although as others mentioned it has a bit downward tendency. I think Linus, Luke and others are intelligent, reasonable people and that makes it easier to stick to watching them. True that Linus is sometimes impatient, we all saw his Linux challenges 😅 but they are ok

Guilty until proven otherwise? I think in civilized society its the other way around, right?

I humbly disagree with others that 16 Gigz of ram is not enough. A. For the first server it is definitely enough, before you know what you really need. B. In current rampocalypse it would be crazy buying ram without knowing that you really need it (only for it to sit there unused later). Your setup is fine and only time and your inner hobbyist selfhoster will tell later what you need.

Edit: and fyi I curretly do have 48 Gigz 😂, bought it a year ago very cheap and my system uses 10. Therefore I have set a high ARC to 16 GB. I used to try local LLM but didn’t find it useful for the high power consumption. Just wanted to show you where my opinion come from.

In EU those were prehistoric times. Nowadays phones are unlocked.

Whats wrong with rust?

I think they are talking about sso, not 2fa.

How is this related to the keyring security issues? (Don’t get me wrong, it’s interesting news, and I already saw it in the Privacy sublemmy)

I care about my privacy. But apparently you do too.

I think we are too exposed to the movie-villains-geniuses. The reality is that most criminals are dumb.

I suggest you see this video: https://www.nbtv.media/episodes/i-have-nothing-to-hide-the-dangerous-myth-about-privacy

It’s nice to have dreams, but in current society, with human nature, this dream of full transparency is never gonna work. Even if I believe people to be inherently good, you can never count on altruism (on a large scale).

Please send me login info (login+password+otp) for all your email accounts, instant messaging accounts, social media accounts etc and allow me to peruse (and maybe publish). Consider yourself lawyered.

I think we will see. If it’s as good as it sounds there will soon be good apps to use it. It would be funny though how we’d “return” to basically rss. Everything runs in cycles I guess 😀

Yeah, that post was amazing honestly. I had no idea about atproto before, now I feel like this is the way and I will definitely try it.

You can use tailscale + gluetun docker containers to use your favorite commercial vpn as an exit node on the same machine. https://github.com/alexmaisa/tailscale-vpn-exitnode

Or you need to update iptables of you don’t use docker and have e. g. wireguard out as an exit node. Or if you have vpn out on your router, and tailscale on the home network, you just use it as exit node.

Do you use tailscale as an exit node? What device are you using to access the home network when you are away? What are your speeds on that device without tailscale (but still away)?

Or did you mean that the speed drop happens for the server, not for the connected device? So when you are connected through tailscale the server would be unable to e.g. download anything fast?

Dont waste 5k on an ai computer. Of you want new one, buy for 2k at most. Ai will get optimized more and more. Now we have MoE with which we can run things at home we couldn’t even dream about. The companies loose money fast, there will be massive optimization sooner or later.

Are you using any other networking sw?

How are you running tailscale at home? Docker? Or natively?

I feel like the obtanium way is better because you have to consciously make the choice and weight the risk, while this is too convenient and will just end up like AUR full of malware. I do not even use Obtanium btw, I don’t have time to check the apps code regularly, I think F-droid is better way and Aurora for the few that are not there.
