exu,

I already learnt of blendOS two weeks ago, I think in a discussion of immutable distros.

Really looking forward to play around with it some more and maybe replace my Arch install with this.

exu,

Set ‘blendos-base’ in your system.yaml, install additional packages, update and reboot.

exu,

I’m not sure how involved Micay still is with GrapheneOS, but he did seemingly talk in the name of the foundation this march in discussions of Mozilla Location Service being retired.

github.com/mozilla/ichnaea/issues/2065#issuecomme…

And he still feels the need to attack other projects. (Last paragraph)

If I had a Pixel I’d probably still try it, but not sure how well they’d like me rooting and customizing the device.

exu,

It feels like I heard that somewhere before and looking at my profile, I did cancel Jellyfin at some point.

I supported Finamp for a while until they removed sponsoring, guess I’ll do Findroid now.

exu,

And they now have a working release pipeline, so releasing often is easier.

exu,

Creative Commons is likely more appropriate for FOSR.

exu,

Big ass enter is way better than the small one.
You can’t change my mind.

exu,

You could have a look at nslookup or dig. What dns server are they using by default and what happens when you specify one?

exu,

You’ll want to install a reverse proxy of your choice on the VPS. Have clients access it over ipv4 and configure it to proxy pass it to your ipv6 address. Nginx at least is capable of doing ipv4 & ipv6 -> ipv4, I think the inverse should also be possible.

exu,

You could just run everything as root or configure sudo without timeout.

exu,

I also just did this and got a refurbished phone for a decent discount compared to buying the same one new.

LineageOS support is an absolute must. I haven’t used a stock Android for the last 6-7 years probably.

exu,

It’ll also ignore the default firewalld rules. IIRC it uses the internal zone instead

exu,

Firewalld had, at least last time I checked, way more capabilities than UFW. Both are fine at being basic firewalls, but I don’t think you can build a router using just UFW.

Firewalld allows some pretty advanced rules. I use it to redirect a bunch of web requests going to a certain address over a local ssh tunnel.

exu,

You can use OpenCL instead of ROCm for GPU offloading. In my tests with llama.cpp that improved performance massively.

Definitely do benchmarks for how many layers you can offload to the GPU. You’ll see when it’s too many, as performance will crater.

By launching llama.cpp as a server you’ll actually be able to continue to use openwebui as you currently have.

exu,

It would probably take someone to sue them, but they would have to implement it.

exu,

It’s probably still more efficient to keep a 192k opus and a 320k mp3 around than one flac.

exu,

I remember a HackerNews comment by the lead XFCE dev about how KDE was actually better optimized, because they have so many more devs working on it.

exu,

Yes. I use a hacky script to copy them to the right place

exu,

I’d suggest you give this article a read. If this does sound appealing to you, go right ahead. If you think you’d be frustrated with having to make all these changes, Arch likely isn’t something for you.

exu,

Cron sadly does not offer precision in the seconds range.

exu,

*for 20-series and later graphics cards

exu,

I don’t know how good it is, but for Turing and later GPUs there’s a new official open source driver being developed. You’d likely have to use a more bleeding edge distro to get that.

VR works depending on your headset. Index is fine, Oculus doesn’t work.

You could make a usb stick of your desired distro and test everything without permanent changes before commiting.

Apple's Wifi router database: Surveilling the Masses with Wi-Fi-Based Positioning Systems (www.cs.umd.edu)

Apple’s huge database, which usually records the locations of Wi-Fi base stations to the nearest metre, has apparently been exploited without hindrance: With little effort, attackers are able to create a ‘global snapshot’ of all the location data of the WLANs recorded there. This allows them - over a longer period of time...

exu,

With Mozilla Location Services going away soon, I’m wondering at the legality of using the Apple data to seed a replacement.

exu,

You could use BTRFS, ZFS or BcacheFS to do compression on the filensystem level, but it’s not gonna compress video files or other already compressed media.

exu,

Without knowing what was being hosted, the only surefire way would be pulling a complete disk image with cat or dd.

If you wanted to stay on a similar system, RHEL 9 would be a good option or one of its “as similar as possible” like AlmaLinux.

Other common distros for servers are Debian, Ubuntu server and Suse SLES/OpenSuse Leap.
