World News@lemmy.world•Syrian man gets life imprisonment for stabbings in German city of SolingenEnglish
81·10 months agoIronically Solingen is famous for their knives, swords etc and it’s called “City of Blades”

Self-hosting@slrpnk.net•Turn A Broken Phone Into A Home ServerEnglish
3·10 months agoLoved the concept of the video: in our desks and pockets we have powerhouses that are underused. I think the solution proposed is too convoluted though as you can get to similar results with Termux without root.
And to those who mention the battery issue, there’re ways to address this problem without the need of a physical mod. Just a few suggestions here:
- Samsung and Pixel have options to limit battery charge to a certain percentage
- If you root the phone they’re quite a few apps or Magisk modules that will limit charge
- If you have a smart plug you can turn on/off the charger based on your battery through a bash script, home assistant etc
I’m one or those as well, but instead of VLC I use NOVA player on Android devices because of the remote sync.
Said that I’m using WebDAV shares as SMB is way slower. Is it just me? Any other protocol suggestion?
Impressive! Can you please link the instructions you followed?
Some time ago I was hosting the full ARR suite, bitwarden, AdGuard etc, but it was usually a mess with direct installs. With docker it might be worth revisiting it.
My only advice, buy a usb-ETH dongle, it will make a huge difference in stability
Thumbs up! Living with just framebuffer has always been a big dream of mine!

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•Quickly transferring files between PC and phoneEnglish
1·1 year agoI’m using a selfhosted pastebin (microbin) as sometimes I want to transfer text, other files… It’s very efficient and in my instance it’s using 13MB of RAM, which is fairly lightweight for modern standards

Linux Gaming@lemmy.world•Thoughts on Bazzite for a desktop machine?English
8·2 years agoNew Bazzite user here. Long story short I was looking to leave Windows and tried a few distros (Nobara,Kali, Endeavour…)
At the end of the day Bazzite is the one that works best out of the box.
My only issue was with Nvidia&Wayland: I got tons of crashes even on native games. Switched to X11 and works like a charm.
The negative point? It’s not Arch :D

unions@sh.itjust.works•Boeing strike: entry-level workers cannot live on their wage. “At Panda Express, they’re making as much as a grade-three mechanic”English
2·2 years agoUsually people study a subject because they’re at least interested in it. What you’re saying is like asking a surgeon to work in IT, for instance, just because they’re paying more. That’s not a fair game, we’re humans with our skills, perks, defects… you can’t pretend everyone moves like a pawn just for money.
Boeing, like many other companies is playing the game of “maximise the short term profit” and as usual the easiest way is to cut labour costs. That’s why they’re in this position (poorly built planes, killed HUNDREDS of people etc.)

Technology@lemmy.world•The Irony of 'You Wouldn't Download a Car' Making a Comeback in AI DebatesEnglish
1·2 years agoThanks to everyone that has replied, all fair points. When you use (read, view, listen to…) copyrighted material you’re subject to the licensing rules, no matter if it’s free (as in beer) or not.
This means that quoting more than what’s considered fair use is a violation of the license, for instance. In practice a human would not be able to quote exactly a 1000 words document just on the first read but “AI” can, thus infringing one of the licensing clauses.
Some licensing on copyrighted material is also explicitly forbidding to use the full content by automated systems (once they were web crawlers for search engines)
Basically all these possibilities or actual licensing infringements would require a negotiation between the involved parties.

Technology@lemmy.world•The Irony of 'You Wouldn't Download a Car' Making a Comeback in AI DebatesEnglish
192·2 years agoThis process is akin to how humans learn by reading widely and absorbing styles and techniques, rather than memorizing and reproducing exact passages.
Many people quote this part saying that this is not the case and this is the main reason why the argument is not valid.
Let’s take a step back and not put in discussion how current “AI” learns vs how human learn.
The key point for me here is that humans DO PAY (or at least are expected to…) to use and learn from copyrighted material. So if we’re equating “AI” method of learning with humans’, both should be subject to the the same rules and regulations. Meaning that “AI” should pay for using copyrighted material.

Not The Onion@lemmy.world•Microsoft says its Recall uninstall option in Windows 11 is just a bugEnglish
2·2 years agoI wish it was usable enough… loved BeOS and I really hope to have Haiku as my daily driver one day
It’s explained in the FAQ: https://www.beeper.com/faq#how-can-i-self-host-beeper I’ve not used the app so I don’t know how practical/easy it is but they’re at least offering the option, which is laudable.
For what I understood the decryption/encryption process happens on the bridge. The bridge is the selfhosted component so the transformation would happen in your server and they would have no visibility over the unencrypted message.
HaikuOS, simply FANTASTIC! Out of curiosity are you using it as a daily driver? I’ve tried early beta (2010 or so) and it was super fast but not enough to use it every day…

1·2 years agoFortunately this is not the case, Mortadella has to have “big” chunks of fat in it unlike what you see in the picture.
Said that, I’ve seen seen some abominations that made me wonder if it was even legal to label it as human food (I’m exaggerating :D)
The Expendables 4 is out? You made my day, really need to watch it! I enjoyed all of the three in the series, light humor, action, all my old heroes… couldn’t ask for more.
Give me some time to watch it before calling the cops to pick me up :D
Did you know that you can use Joplin on a standard webdav server? Basically it just takes up the space of the data itself. I have it on a Caddy server and works like q charm synching between Windows and Android client

Games@lemmy.world•Baldur's Gate 3 has won Steam's 2023 GOTY AwardEnglish
1·2 years agoThanks, makes much more sense. Too bad that some great titles lost just because they were not so popular. To be fairer Steam should add some rules like: of you didn’t play the game, you cannot vote it…


Thanks a MILLION and more!
Aider is working like a charm with even smaller models, fantastic, thanks a lot! Very practical once you get the ropes of it.
I wish I could upvote this reply more :D
