Audio broke on fedora 40 (Kde spin Update: removing Pulseaudio and running Plasma-pa helped ty for the nice comments tho)
  • Pipewire-pulse (or whatever the package is called) is the drop-in replacement for pulseaudio that makes apps, that normally use pulseaudio, use pipewire instead. You can't have both installed. You can have pipewire and pulseaudio installed at the same time but your system can only use one of them at a time.

  • What's the bang for the buck go to setup for AI image generation and LLM models?
  • I actually use an AMD card for running image generation and LLMs on my PC on Linux. It's actually not hard to set up.

  • Forget security – Google's reCAPTCHA v2 is exploiting users for profit | Web puzzles don't protect against bots, but humans have spent 819 million unpaid hours solving them
  • Some captchas have also just gotten obvious AI training. "Click on the living being in this image", "Select every image of the same object as in this example image". And the images you have to select look obviously AI generated.

  • New Samsung phones block sideloading by default
  • I would guess making their phones seem more secure because people get less malware. I still think it's stupid tho.

  • New Samsung phones block sideloading by default
  • Big difference is that that one setting was shown to you with a button press when you tried to install an app. With this, you need to remember or make a screenshot of where you need to go, open the settings app and then go there and toggle it on. It's just a lot more annoying to do and Samsung probably hopes that that will deter people from doing it.

  • New Samsung phones block sideloading by default
  • But it also shows you a button to go straight to the toggle that lets you enable it when you try to install an app

  • I still crie evrytiem
  • Should have warned me that this is a saddest story 😔

  • Mark Zuckerberg open sources 3 new LLMs
  • The low quant versions of a 70B model are still way better than a high quant version of an 8B model tho. But yeah, performance might be ass, I don't have anything like a 4090, so I couldn't tell you. The main thing I do with these locally run models is use it for SillyTavern, which lets you kinda do roleplay with fictional characters. That's kinda fun sometimes. But I don't really use it much besides that either. Just testing how well different models perform and what I can run on my GPU is kinda fun in itself too tho.

  • Mark Zuckerberg open sources 3 new LLMs
  • Yeah, I prefer to use EXL2 models. GGUF models split across GPU and CPU are slow af, I tried that too. But I've seen mutliple people on Reddit claim that they run 70B models on cards like 4090s.

  • Mark Zuckerberg open sources 3 new LLMs
  • From the benchmarks it seems like it's actually a noticable improvement over Llama 3. Llama 3 was already a lot better than Llama 2 (from actually using it, not just benchmarks), so I'm really interested in how good this actually is in practice.

  • Mark Zuckerberg open sources 3 new LLMs
  • Pretty sure a good chunk of people are actually running 70B models tho

  • Extracting frames from a video with ffmpeg very slow if not using jpeg
  • Coming back to this, what you said at the end was really interesting. I could manually split up the file and run the frame extract script for each one at the same time but do you know if it's possible to automate this? Or even better, run each instance of ffmpeg on the same video file and just extract every nth frame, like I said in my earlier reply?

  • Local AI is one step closer through Mistral-NeMo 12B
  • Thanks for telling me, that's good to know. Really cool that they also increased context size, especially to such a huge number.

  • Local AI is one step closer through Mistral-NeMo 12B
  • I'm talking about quality here, not speed

  • Do you folks use Amazon a lot, and if yes, then why? If no, then what alternatives do you prefer?
  • For people in Germany or Austria, Geizhals is great. It shows you the cheapest seller for every product and has a ton of information for each product that you can filter by.

  • Local AI is one step closer through Mistral-NeMo 12B
  • This is only intereating to me if it's better than Llama 3 8B

  • Netflix officially removes Basic - the cheapest ad-free tier
  • I already have a Jellyfin setup like that but that also means I can watch that stuff from Netflix. I heard you can use i2p for torrenting (only Linux ISOs, of course) instead of a VPN, is that what you mean? I currently use a VPN for that.

  • Netflix officially removes Basic - the cheapest ad-free tier
  • I think they make like 200 shows a year, so sometimes they actually make good stuff by accident

  • Sovol SV06 stringing issue

    I would really appreciate it if someone could help me with this. I'm having an issue with my Sovol SV06, which is that I get a lot of stringing. I'm still fairly new to 3D printing, so I have no idea what could cause this and how I could go about fixing this. I already searched for this issue online btw but didn't really find anything helpful.

    The only change I made to this printer is that I hooked up a Raspberry Pi 4 to it and installed Klipper and Octoprint. I'm also using PrusaSlicer with the config from here.

    Edit: Forgot to mention I was using PLA for this print

The obvious issue with jpegs is the data loss from the compression, I want the images to be lossless.

I have no idea why that's so slow, the files are a lot smaller than png, so it can't be because of the write speed. > > I would appreciate it if anyone could help me with this.

    What skin are you using?

    Would be nice if you commented on the original post instead of this one. Also a reminder that the original post is made in the new community I made (you can't move communities to other instances yet, so I had to recreate it) and it would be nice if you subscribed to that community instead of this one.

    What skin are you using?

    Would be interesting to know what skins everyone's using.

    The skin I'm using is 霜滅 SOUMETSU by thetasigma

    Been using this skin since it was released and I haven't found a better skin yet, this was the first skin that made me stop frankensteining together other skins to get a skin that I can actually play well with and it looks great.

    I recreated this community on a new instance

    discuss.tchncs.de osu! - tchncs

    osu! is a rhythm game based on the gameplay of a variety of popular commercial rhythm games such as Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan and Elite Beat Agents.

    osu! - tchncs

    The reason why was explained in my earlier post

    It's here now: [email protected]

    Do you think it would be a good idea to recreate the community on the instance I'm currently on?

    I switched from lemmy.ml to discuss.tchncs.de but this community is still on lemmy.ml. I'm thinking of recreating this community on discuss.tchncs.de, where I'm now, because apparently there's still bugs when moderating a community that's on a different instance. Do you think I should recreate it there?

    I did: [email protected]

    Need to run update-grub after every kernel update because I installed a GRUB theme

    I installed a GRUB theme and changed some options in the config but now I need to run update-grub (alias for grub2-mkconfig -o /etc/grub2-efi.cfg) after every kernel update or else that new kernel version won't boot. Does anybody know a fix for this?

    Any advantage to using something self-hosted, like Komga, in Mihon (formerly Tachiyomi)?

    I recently found out that instead of just using online sources, you can also use something you can host yourself, like Komga, in Mihon. I'm just wondering if there's an advantage to it that I didn't think of because the only things I can think of are:

    • Progress is synced over multiple devices
    • Online sources can suddenly go offline, your self-hosted service won't

    How do I start maintaining a device?

    I have a Nothing Phone 1 but unfortunately, no one's currently maintaining it. I was thinking of doing it myself but I don't really know where to start. Would be great if you could give me some pointers.
