Maajmaaj , to technology in Introducing Llama 2 - Meta's Next-Generation Commercially Viable Open-Source AI & LLM
@Maajmaaj@lemmy.ca avatar

…But it’s Meta. I know better than to trust them, especially with free stuff.

spez_ ,

It’s open source, better than most of the alternatives making LLMs

assembly ,

This is such a tough one. On one hand Facebook has never done anything to help anyone not named Zuckerberg. On the other hand, most LLM processors are closed source. Maybe it has a call home function for data but my guess is that they will use this to get companies hooked and then offer a paid SaaS version that is much more capable and thus cements their technology as a major player. I am fine with that approach as long as the original is open source and available to the community who can fork.

Aielman15 , to technology in 1Password vs BitWarden
@Aielman15@lemmy.world avatar

I’ve used BitWarden for a few years now and I really like it. I’ve set it up on both my PC and phone browsers, and it does its job well. Never paid anything for it, the free tier is generous enough for casual users like me.

It being open source sold it for me.

Zikeji , to selfhosted in Using NGINX as a stream proxy
@Zikeji@programming.dev avatar

What you’re looking for is a reverse proxy, or in this case, a TCP reverse proxy. I believe only NGINX plus (paid?) supports that. You’re probably better off using haproxy.

I haven’t done it so I can’t help in that front, but I found this: linuxbabe.com/…/smtp-imap-proxy-with-haproxy-debi…

Which is close to your scenario (I just looked at the first result). Otherwise the search term “haproxy imap” or “haproxy mail server” may help you find something, maybe throwing in wireguard or VPN.

Thank you! It never occurred to me to consider haproxy to do something like this and I think it is exactly what I am looking for. It’s definitely worth further exploration. My subscription for email service is about to run out and I’d rather not pay for something I don’t have to.

Just so you know, running an email service isn’t as easy as you think. You’ll most likely deal with a lot of blocks from Gmail and the rest.

housepanther OP ,
@housepanther@lemmy.goblackcat.com avatar

I realize this could be a possibility. I don’t think it is going to be easy but I’ll give it a shot.

You can do TCP proxying with nginx but many of the same features available in haproxy are behind the paywall. In nginx, layer 4 connections are dealt with through streams. You can do both TCP and UDP. I stick with haproxy for TCP streams with very few exceptions. HAproxy is most definitely more robust for situations where you have a pool of upstream servers. For single upstream instances, it’s not terrible. Most of the features I would use for better control of how the failover and balancing would work isn’t available in the open source nginx.

@Zamboniman@lemmy.ca avatar

It’s almost certainly hiding vents or pipes that needed to be routed there. As for the carpeting, somebody no doubt thought it would be cool, or else if for sound dampening.

It’s already explained why we made it but we chose Matrix because it’s already linked to the Fediverse, and also I was following the head mods orders. 😅

Toneswirly , to showerthoughts in When you're a kid, you don't realize you're also watching your mom and dad grow up.

As a newish parent, this resonates with me. I’m flying by the seat of my fuckin pants over here.

taj ,

Yeah. We had our boys in our early 20s. To say we grew up with them is to be honest. But I sure wouldn’t change a damned thing.

blomkalsgratin ,

Most terrifying thing about becoming a parent, as raising just how little of a clue my own parents must have had to start with. I mean, all that time I was feeling safe and really, is a marvel we didn’t all die in a bath tub fire event!

Phat_Albert ,

Great observation. I always wondered how it was so easy for my parents until I realized no, it wasn’t. I always felt that if the house were to burn down I would be safe. Never thought twice about it, totally took them for granted.

blomkalsgratin , (edited )

I’d like to think that’s what good parents do though, make the kids feel safe and protected. Hopefully it means yours were good ones :)

Edit: “good parents” not “foods parents” dyac!

Phat_Albert ,

Excellent, I’m definitely fortunate. We didn’t have extra $$ but it never mattered much.

Bathing your children in vodka is not hygienic if you plan to drink the vodka.

Around 5 years into it is when I felt like I finally hit my stride. Maybe it was because she went to kindergarten.

@MajesticSloth@lemmy.world avatar

When my mom turned 70, me her and my dad went out to dinner. On the drive there we were discussing something that had gone wrong in my life (one of many) and I asked her if we ever feel like we have life figured out. She just sadly shook her head no.

This is a highly educated woman, retired as a VP of a large hospital while maintaining an RN license the whole way. She always seemed like she knew what was going on.

So then I thought if this woman felt this way, what hope did I have? And it sort of settled me and made me realize it is okay that I feel lost most of the time.

Though I am glad I don’t have kids. They would have been through hell with me.

Shikadi , to workreform in Career advice: should I give this interviewer a second chance?

Very much depends. Small company or big company? Random company or one you want to work at? Did the apology feel sincere or did it sound like they don’t have their shit together? Do you have the time to spend on a reschedule, or is it going to suck up time for other interviews/activities?

If you have nothing to lose I’d go for it

LoamImprovement , to gaming in Where to even start with Final Fantasy?

I’ve been told by a friend who’s a SME on these things from having finished every single one (excluding 14, as it’s an MMO and you don’t really ever finish those) that FFIX is the best overall out of the series. Also, don’t play FFII, it isn’t worth your time.

CannaVet , to selfhosted in What got you into selfhosting and what was the first thing that you hosted?

A vague interest in taking my data away from “Big Tech” led me to get hosting a few years back and use a private email solution professionally hosted. Last year, I bought a pi then went through a breakup and didn’t touch it until recently haha.

I just had to rebuild from scratch but I’m running Flame dashboard, Vaultwarden, Nextcloud, Baikal, and a rickroll server disguised as a Docs app, because I’m a red blooded American. :P (and the boring stuff lol)

Hegz , to woodworking in QUESTION: Does a table top really Need biscuits/dominoes/dowels, or is glue enough?

Iirc from various YouTubers who have tested these.

Biscuits being thin pressed wood fibers don’t offer much if any strength to any joints.

Dowels and dominos can help strengthen long grain to short grain joints.

Either will help with alignment with long grain to long grain glue ups.

I can’t provide sources, so take this with as many grains of salt as you wish.

Depending on where you live, you could be breaking the law. In the USA, doing that in some states is illegal. See here.
