Hereā€™s some more of the owl, the official docs: element-hq.github.io/ā€¦/config_documentation.html#ā€¦

So add this to your matrix config:

registration_shared_secret: <PRIVATE STRING>

Iā€™m guessing this string can be whatever you want it to be.

But yeah, I agree in general, some of the docs can be pretty opaque. For example, I wanted to configure NextCloud w/ Collabora in Docker, and I kept getting errors when trying to do what a few sites recommended. I ended up figuring it out, but only through trial and error. Iā€™m going to go through the same pain this weekend when I try out ownCloud Infinite Scale up and running to compare.

I had very similar experiences with OCIS. Got it all set up following the quick start guide, found extremely odd and unacceptable behaviour with storage space ballooning, start troubleshooting and find ā€œoh you had to do this, this and this manually, itā€™s in the docsā€ It is in the docs, but never referenced by any other part of the docs. Because why would you mention the thing that the admin must manually set up in 100% of installs in your setup guide?

Anyway Iā€™ve become that guy ranting on the internet that I donā€™t want to be. So just so you donā€™t suffer as much as I did; you have to create scheduled tasks via cron or your preference of scheduler to clean your uploads folder and data blobs. This also did not fix my specific issue and I ended up giving up on OCIS and sticking to Nextcloud.

sugar_in_your_tea ,

Huh, thanks!

Iā€™m going to run both in parallel for a month or so before trying to get my SO to use it so I can better estimate the WAF. So far, NextCloud is good enough, but itā€™s kinda slow (and I have Redis configured) despite being on pretty beefy hardware (Ryzen 1700 w/ 16GB RAM). I really hate PHP, so Iā€™d prefer a project I can contribute to if needed. I worked w/ Go for almost 10 years, so OCIS would be a natural fit, but Iā€™d still contribute patches for PHP if that really was the best tool for the job. But Iā€™m not going to get involved unless the project already does what I need (my contributions would be for smaller bug fixes).

But yeah, the OCIS docs look kinda mediocre from the little Iā€™ve read of them. But at least I donā€™t need to mess w/ PHP config most likely and can hopefully just forward HTTP requests to it.

EmoPolarbear ,
@EmoPolarbear@lemmy.ca avatar

The move from php to go and the slowness of NC is what attracted me to the project. But Iā€™m going to wait a bit longer until weā€™re flush with 3rd party setup guides cause I simply do not have the time to wade through their docs.

sugar_in_your_tea ,

Yup, thatā€™s why I started w/ NextCloud. It was painful enough getting Collabora working with NC, so hopefully OCIS is easier now that I know my Collabora setup at least works.

jws_shadotak , to nostupidquestions in What are some things you can do to maintain your teeth when you don't have health insurance and can't afford dental care?

If you are truly struggling and need actual dental care, try searching for a local dental school near you. Many will take patients for cheap or free, with the caveat that a dental student will be performing the treatment.

Otherwise, brush at least twice a day and floss. Do not re-use strands of floss, like with those convenient plastic picks. Youā€™ll just be transferring bacteria to each crevice after itā€™s been used.

Get a water pick (whatever itā€™s called) - I heard those are great but I donā€™t have one myself.

@dogsnest@lemmy.world avatar

Also, in my area, most dentists will allow you to pay over time (like a year+ā€¦).

And there are FREE programs like this:

Every dentist Iā€™ve had disliked water piks. I had one for a while. Had.

etchinghillside ,

Any particular reason why?

other_cat ,
@other_cat@lemmy.world avatar

Not the above poster but Iā€™ve had dentists share the same sentiment and mostly Iā€™ve heard itā€™s because the majority of their patients who use it, use it as a replacement for more thorough dental careā€“they donā€™t floss and/or brush because they think theyā€™re getting clean enough with the pik. The dentist who told me this basically said, ā€œItā€™s fine as a supplement after you brush and after you floss, to flush out any lingering debris from those two activities, but itā€™s really just not worth the time or money.ā€

tamal3 ,

ā€¦ Wait, donā€™t reuse dental floss? Oh no. I thought the point was only to loosen gunk!

My WG traffic looked like a DOS attack to OVH and I got blackholed for 5min, then 15, then 30.

My guess is your provider is rate limiting your UDP traffic.

someoneFromInternet OP ,

it looks like provider is not rate limiting: https://lemmy.ml/pictrs/image/d94415eb-0c3f-4974-9b18-d64f0a010dc2.png

skankhunt42 ,
@skankhunt42@lemmy.ca avatar

Is your test TCP or UDP? My guess is thatā€™s TCP traffic.

Your VPS provider can rate limit as specific as a single UDP port. Try a different WG UDP port or wrap your WG traffic in TCP with other software and try again.

someoneFromInternet OP ,

Iā€™ll ask provider

skankhunt42 ,
@skankhunt42@lemmy.ca avatar

You could also try a VPS from hetzner and see if its any better. Hereā€™s my speed test just now using WG on my cell, exit through Hetzner.

skankhunt42 ,
@skankhunt42@lemmy.ca avatar

Yeah, that sounds about right to me. Iā€™d look for a different provider if youā€™re looking for speed. Like I said above, OVH was unusable to me so I went to hetzner.

Lookup ā€œlowendboxā€ if you want something cheap. I used some Christmas or new year deal at racknerd that was alright.

someoneFromInternet OP ,

thx, for answer

skankhunt42 ,
@skankhunt42@lemmy.ca avatar

Good luck!

If you want to stay with whatever provider you have you can try openVPN over TCP or a SOCKS proxy over SSH (both TCP traffic). Anything TCP might be faster than WG

dabaldeagul , to selfhosted in too slow speed through wireguard
@dabaldeagul@feddit.nl avatar

Having never used this software before, my guess would be your VPS provider is limiting the upload speed of the VPS. The data would be uploaded slowly to you, which means your download speed is limited as the client.

Meanwhile the upload speed is reported as being high enough, since the VPS can download your data at 50mbit/s, as this cap is higher.

someoneFromInternet OP ,
CameronDev ,

That is likely a speed test server within the same data center as your vps, or they have special traffic shaping rules for it.

Try using iperf from your local box to the VPS and see what speeds you get

Itā€™s probably more ā€œAIā€ than the LLMs weā€™ve been plagued with. This sounds more like an application of machine learning, which is a hell of a lot more promising.

reddithalation ,

AI and machine learning are very similar (if not identical) things, just one has been turned into a marketing hype word a whole lot more than the other.

captain_aggravated ,
@captain_aggravated@sh.itjust.works avatar

Machine learning is one of the many things that is referred to by ā€œAIā€, yes.

My thought is the term ā€œAIā€ has been overused to uselessness, from the nested if statements that decide how video game enemies move to various kinds of machine learning to large language models.

So Iā€™m personally going to avoid the term.

TonyOstrich ,

This seems exactly like what I would have referred to as AI before the pandemic. Specifically Deep Learning image processing. In terms of something you can buy off the shelf this is theoretically something the Cognex Vidi Red Tool could be used for. My experience with it is in packaging, but the base concept is the same.

Training a model requires loading images into the software and having a human mark them before having a very powerful CUDA GPU process all of that. Once the model has been trained it can usually be run on a fairly modest PC in comparison.

MindTraveller , to patientgamers in What have you been playing this week?

Iā€™m playing Morrowind! Itā€™s my first time!

I already downloaded a couple code fixes to reduce crashing, Solstheim rumour fix, DB attack fix, and gender neutral dialogue. Any other must-have mods I can install on an in-progress save?

SteveNashFan ,

Morrowind is one of my favorites! Graphic Herbalism is nice, but the DB and Sosltheim fixes are the only necessary ones, atleast for OpenMW.

Have fun! Youā€™ve probably already heard this if youā€™re aware of the bug fix mods, but if it seems like youā€™re missing every other attack, check your stamina and make sure youā€™re using a weapon youā€™re character has the skills in. A low stamina bar affects every skill check, and that iron dagger in the census office often trips people up if they try using it without taking short blade as a major skill, as an example.

I love Morrowind, but it doesnā€™t do the best job of walking you through how combat works unless you read the manual, so I thought Iā€™d mention it just in case :).

MindTraveller , (edited )

Iā€™m using a bound spear. I have skills in conjuration and spear. I still miss most attacks though. How am I supposed to have high stamina when I reach enemies if getting to enemies requires walking and thus expending stamina? Should I be taking a rest break every ten steps or guzzling potions?

I just got back from the first difficult Mages Guild duty. I had to recruit a new member and gather dues from some people who live in bumfuck volcanic nowhere. I now hate cliff racers with a passion. On the other hand, Iā€™m level 5 and Iā€™m starting to kill scribs in one hit. I also canā€™t believe I cleared that entire dwemer dungeon just to find the puzzle box right near the entrance. Plus side, now Iā€™m loaded on dwemer coins. And playing a conjurer was definitely the right move when it came to those ghosts. Iā€™d have been fucked if I were using mundane weapons.

One thing Iā€™m disappointed by is that a minion-based build seems much less viable in Morrowind than Skyrim. Seems you canā€™t just go all in on conjuration in this one. One thing I like is spears! Spears are the best weapon!

SteveNashFan ,

Yeah, resting whenever the stamina bar hits half is generally what I do lol. The Mages Guild definitely throws you to the wolves with that quest, when I did it I failed the speech check and had to fight her.

Iā€™ve never tried a conjuration build, but I definitely remember falling back on my dagger regularly when I played a Dunmer mage. The Mages Guild has an item chest with magika potions you can use freely.

You can also enchant a ring or amulet to conjure, so even if your magic/Intelligence is low you can consistently summon minions if you can afford the cost of the enchantment. A big difference from Skyrim is that enchanted items recharge automatically when you rest.

This makes a build where you carry around summoning rings/amulets to use before every fight not only possible, but incredibly strong from what Iā€™ve heard.

MindTraveller ,

How do I enchant items?

SteveNashFan ,

If you talk to an Enchanter NPC, the option to enchant will be in the dialogue list like a shop owner or spell crafter. Since youā€™re in the Mages Guild, the easiest to reach would probably be Galbedir in the Balmora Mages Guild.

If you need more specific info the UESP wiki (en.uesp.net/wiki/Main_Page) is a great source. Just be weary of spoilers. I personally use it to check racial attribute spreads whenever I start a new game.

MindTraveller ,

Thank you. Will using an NPC to enchant items increase my enchanting skill like in Skyrim?

SteveNashFan ,

No, but enchant skill in Morrowind is kinda weird so I honestly wouldnā€™t worry about leveling it for a first time playthrough. I never leveled it and was still able to enchant some exquisite pants with enough stamina restore to negate fatigue entirely, for example.

MindTraveller ,

No way, I just read the wiki entry on enchanting. This shit OP, Iā€™m definitely going to be using it.

MindTraveller ,

Thanks for all the advice, I want more, as I have a question Google wouldnā€™t help me with. I think my character would fit in great in House Telvanni, except for the slavery part. If I join Telvanni, can I climb the ranks and eventually abolish slavery?

SteveNashFan ,

Welcome! This is a pretty fun question, because it shows both the strengths and limitations of the game. On the one hand, thereā€™s no full quest line to abolish slavery in Morrowind, although some slaves can be freed. There are some mods for adding quests, but I havenā€™t looked into them very deeply.

On the other, since no NPC is essential you can end slavery through brute force and kill every councilor that supports it, every slave trader, etc. Bloody, but still arguably in line with the ā€œmight makes rightā€ philosophy of the Telvanni.

So while thereā€™s no ā€œofficialā€ way, the game leaves the door open to roleplaying if youā€™re playing a character who would take matters into their own hands.

If you kill an NPC needed for the main quest, the game will give you a ā€œthe thread of prophecy has been severedā€ message. Itā€™s still possible to get the necessary equipment to fight the final boss of the main quest even if you kill, say, Caius, but I wouldnā€™t recommend killing any main quest NPCs until after itā€™s completed.

The built-in failsafes arenā€™t explained in-game, and are buggy. Itā€™s more so just a cool last resort for repeat playthroughs where you play, say, a traditionalist who refuses to work with the Empire to solve the blight storm crisis.

Itā€™s one of the coolest things about the game. Even though Iā€™d never consider methodically killing everyone on the island, the knowledge that you can do it makes the decision not to much more impactful from a roleplaying perspective.

MindTraveller ,

By the Hist, thank you. But if I spoke to the slaves, theyā€™d still call themselves slaves, right?

SteveNashFan ,

Many slaves have the ā€œgo freeā€ dialogue option, which allows you to free them if you have the appropriate key from that area. Not all can be freed this way, there might be a mod for that but Iā€™m not sure. Happy hunting!

MindTraveller ,

Awesome. Time to prove that my abolitionist beliefs are superior because I have the best spells.

Zahille7 ,

After you get done with your first playthrough and you still want more, check out the Tamriel Unlimited mods. They add the rest of Vvardenfell (the mainland) and itā€™s almost twice as big as the base game, as well as tons of new locations, characters, and quests to go with it. Theyā€™ve also made/are making full-size Skyrim and Cyrodiil expansion maps as well.
