The reason to host your own instances is altruism. You help out the community with decentralisation and also absorb some of the bandwidth and storage costs from other instances. This is necessary for the Fediverse to survive.
Thanks. I don't see the content of the blogs in the feed, just the title - but maybe that's a problem with my reader (I use Capy on Android). I'll try a couple of other readers to see if it works
Coming back to this thread, I do think some of your comments were inflammatory. If you were to receive a ban, it should have been for trying to bring fights in the comments (but even that is ambiguous at best). I agree that the ban for a comment was too much. An admin shouldn't be conflating one such action with overall behaviour. As for "repeated bad-faith behaviour", it is not so far out to ban you I think. People should be responsible for their own actions.
I went through the list. Google and FairPhone should definitely be moved to "Safe for now" whilst OnePlus should be moved to "Requires an online account/sacrifice" as they limited their unbrick utility which means no more custom ROMs for new OnePlus phones.
I honestly don't understand why Chinese companies do this. They would fare much better against their American counterparts (including Samsung) if they allowed for more open hardware. Goes to show that MBAs at the top of these companies have utter dung between their ears
Yes, just thought if you could check that the correct ports are opened. I.e. is port 443 open for NGINX on Unraid? Is NGINX forwarding traffic to the correct port to your backend? Is the backend configured to allow traffic on a certain domain/all domains if it is handling HTTPS?
Has anybody here actually worked for a company that uses Qubes OS as their corporate OS? I think Qubes is awesome and with some work can definitely be used for corporate work but most people don't know, don't care and are scared of security
Thanks for the edit. You have a very intriguing idea; a second LLM in the background with a summary of the conversation + static context might make performance a lot better. I don't know if anyone has implemented it/knows how one can DIY it with Kobold/Ollama. I think it is an amazing idea for code assistants too if you're doing a long coding session.
