Are you saying your image search on ddg with noai. price still finds ai generated images? That isn’t what the “noai” is meant for, unless I’m misunderstanding you.
It’s meant to tell ddg to not put your question or search through an ai that attempts to answer it, like Google and all others are doing now by default, at the top of the page. It can’t magically tell if an image that matches your search was made by ai or not, of especially not without using ai for this (ironically).
You can’t put the kind of memory used in servers (registered ECC dimm) into normal/personal computers. It’s not just that the ECC won’t work, they don’t work at all.
That’s different with unregistered ECC dimms, those will work (at normal spec speeds), but the ECC part will just be unused. These are in the minority though for servers, in practice they are more used in workstations.
First my context: I’m also running multiple Proxmox hosts (personal and professional), and havea paperless-ngx instance (personal/family). I tried Firefly, but the effort required to get it to a point where it would be if use to me was too high, so I dropped it. Haven’t used n8n.
For the setup I’d just use the Proxmox community scripts, if you haven’t heard of them. Makes updates trivial and lowers the bar to just trying something to basically zero.
Paperless-ngx I actually use, cause it means I can find something when i need it. It’s all automatically ocr’d and all you have to do is categorize them. With time, it’ll learn and do this for you. You can (manually) setup your scanner to just directly upload files to the “consume” folder and it just works. PC/server power is near irrelevant, it just means OCR takes slightly longer, otherwise it’s a web server. You can run this just fine on a raspberry pi.
I don’t have any real automation setup, so I can’t really comment on that. My advice is to just install it, see what it does and how it feels. Try to anticipate if and how much automation you need. Many aspects of all this are of the “setup once” variety, where once it’s working, you don’t have to touch it again. Try to gauge if the one time effort is worth it for you, then go from there. As I said, it was fine for paperless for me, but not for Firefly (but I might need to revisit this).
Also a great example of a service “mired in controversy”. Some (including me) consider those controversies bad enough to avoid them completely. The CEO openly agreeing with and actually supporting Trump is just one of the more egregious ones.
For EU citizens it’s also noteworthy that it isn’t actually hosted in the EU (but Switzerland).
Edit: just to be clear, obviously a lot better than Google. But which service these days isn’t? So that’s a pretty low bar. So why settle for that instead of picking something without all the baggage?
On Linux, running Jellyfin through docker with GPU acceleration works fine, yes. But you need some options/flags to pass access to the GPU to the inside of the container. Guides and/or docker tutorials exist and should contain that, as that’s basically the default setup these days.
As for Bazzite and Docker (I just checked), no it isn’t part of the base image and you can’t easily install it. That’s the downside of an immutable distro. I think podman is available, which is compatible and FOSS, but there may be caveats to using that. There is a bazzite version called bazzite-dx intended for developers, so that one would probably work fine for you out of the box. There shouldn’t be any real downside to using that compared to the mainline image, apart from being slightly larger cause all dev tools are installed, but do check that. My practical experience with Bazzite is limited.
My real recommendation is: just try it. Slap in a small/cheap SSD (~20 bucks) instead of whatever you got in there now, install CachyOS and try it out. Then install Bazzite and try it out. By “Try it out” I do mean setting up a copy of or a test-install of your required services (arr stack, jellyfin, …), to see if everything is as you’d expect. Possibly install more distros to try them out, then make up your mind and actually fully migrate, or if it doesn’t work out go back to your currently installed drive. Installing a linux distro takes like 10 minutes these days, then play around with however long you need. Since you already have it narrowed down to only 2 options anyway, that is most likely the best solution.
There’s a lot of well meaning but not too well informed advice in here. Since one of your goals is gaming, stay away from Mint. It can be made to work (well), but you have to get there. It’s basically the recommendation people gave for decades, but there have been massive improvements through many distros while mint just kinda stood still. There’s still some things they do rather well though.
CachyOS will do what you want it to, and it is what I switched to like 8 months ago. It isn’t maintenance heavy at all if you don’t want it to be. I think I had to intervene once since I started using it, but that intervention was necessary or it wouldn’t have booted after updates. The official updater will tell you when that’s the case, as it lists critical news like that. Otherwise it just works, and it’s pre-configured and optimized for gaming. Under the hood it’s basically Arch, just without the fiddling of getting it to a usable state. Because of that they’re is also an enormous amount of information out there (Arch wiki) on how to do stuff.
Bazzite is a stark contrast in many ways as it’s an immutable distro, but also pre-configured and optimized (maybe not quite as much as CachyOS). It will also do what you want just fine. It is relatively “safe” due to the immutability, and updates are much rarer (and by definition always whole system updates). I don’t know exactly how you’d run your services, but assuming they are dockerized or similar that should be just fine, but please do some searching before if it does contain what you need in the base image (presumably docker and docker compose).
Many people look at the game graphics and think it’s a joke, but the gameplay is actually great, even by today standards. If you’re even a little into transportation games, just give it a go. It’ll also run on a toaster.
You can set that on any android. Pin is just the default, but it’s up to you to use a full password, then you need the full password for first unlock after boot.
Dual booting is perfectly fine. Just try to not use the windows boot partition for both OS or Windows will occasionally “lose” the Linux entry… “Oops” I guess.
If Linux is on its own drive, or at least has it’s own uefi partition, it’s just fine and dandy. Just chain load windows from it and there’s basically nothing that can break.
You kinda want it to be based on Firefox, as the only other option is chrome. The forks already strip out all the mozilla bullshit, it’ll just be more work to strip out all the AI nonsense.
I’m mainly familiar with librewolf, it’s not just stripped of nonsense but also hardened by default. Actually so much so that I stayed on Firefox as it was too much effort (so far) to “unharden” all the aspects I didn’t want or need.
I’ll probably give this a try, thanks!
But I’m confused about your explanation: you say you didn’t wanna contribute to the existing project at you didn’t know dart/flutter. Then you end up creating your project from scratch, using dart/flutter to learn dart/flutter. Why not just contribute to the existing project, or fork it, instead of reinventing the (same) wheel?
Nah I actually do care about the technical details, and that’s the reason I watch the video. I can look up the price in like 3s myself and didn’t need a video for that part.
Try watching videos by “explaining computers”. Actually pretty good content (mostly on single board computers like raspberry pi), but he talks glacially. Normally I watch at 1.5x, this channel is one of just a few where I need to up it to 2x.
DuckDNS had been unreliable when I used it, but it’s been a while. I swapped over to desec.io but their signups aren’t always open. Can highly recommend them though, and they offer many paths to update the IP, including DynDNS(2) protocol or just ddclient.
Also works with certbot for Let’s encrypt certificates using dns challenge.
Never run something like Vaultwarden with unencrypted traffic. Throwing in a self signed cert is basically free insurance. You never know when even in your “trusted network” something starts listening in. Just why risk it?
I heard him say in an interview that he tried to get the producers to let him use “Lapsang Souchong” (also a black tea), but they didn’t go for it. I guess it was about something still ubiquitous enough so people would know it?
Yes, but it isn’t available (yet). The pebble 2 duo does not, but it has already shipped. I don’t know how many are still available and/or will be made.
Currently the app also has zero support for anything health-related, including sleep. If that will be fixed by the time the pt2 is shipping, who knows. This is probably not a huge problem for op, as he’s explicitly searching for a watch without smartphone reliance.
Even in the old app and on the old pebble watches, anything health related was an afterthought at best, and it also isn’t a focus of it officially. The new ones are using the same OS, so are incredibly similar. Which is generally a good thing, but also includes the lack of features related to anything “health”.
The modern Pebble has no heart rate sensor, and generally no useful exercise monitoring.
Don’t buy anything by crucial, as you’ll have trouble getting a 2nd stick in the future. They are shutting down their end user business.
I wish there was one. Thunderbird has given me nothing but issues. KMail is lacking basic features, as does evolution. I obviously haven’t tried them all, but this already took long enough and I’m tired of it.
