Thanks for the comment. I need the most CPU horsepower in a laptop that I can repair and find parts easily for under $1000. My projects need a lot of CPU power but I anticipate I'll be moving around with it (I don't care about the weight though, I'll chuck it in a bag so that's not an issue. Neither is battery life since I won't be working on the go, just take the laptop to different locations).

I'm not a bot and TOTL expands to "top of the line"

In your own comment you mentioned making it harder for the general public. If you think your comments might have had any value for anyone looking for answers, well now they can't read any of your material, through no fault of their own. All the while Meta, OpenAI and Google strike back-handed deals with Reddit to steal your data.

In the end, you're hurting the innocent internet user whilst not doing anything against the big giants. Do you truly not see the problem?

Case in point, you assumed anyone's only possible threat would be Reddit, without considering it could be random jackasses.

I don't understand. Unless someone posts private information on Reddit, how is Reddit part of their threat model? And posting such information on a capital-hungry platform means they have already given up their privacy to data brokers willingly. Sure maybe the script kiddie won't be able to scrape your SSN from the internet but is that really the solace you're looking for?

As to your final line: yes, a lack of content on Reddit will move people to alternate platforms. But there's still A LOT OF CONTENT that is not present on Lemmy, Kbin, Mastodon etc and if everybody starts acting like you then all of that knowledge will be lost. At this point, if your comments held any value for the general public, all you've done is deprive the average lurker. Is that what you want?

Any company that makes affordable washing machines without connecting to the cloud?

Thank you for the comment. Definitely looks like there's some interest in hardening Void, with that said most of the kernel protections that I see from your checksec output exist on my Debian system too. I will try it out in a VM then.

That means it's likely a problem with DNS.

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

Thank you, that makes sense. Yes, I will look to create templates using AI that I like. Thanks again for the help

Absolutely. TheBloke's fine-tuned models with their guardrails removed are the only conversational models I will run. I get enraged looking at AI telling me to curb my speech.

I do use Python but I haven't touched AI yet so it's going to be a learning-curve if I go down that route. I am hoping to get finetuned models OOTB for this kind of stuff but I know it's a hard ask.

I was going to buy 2-3 used GPUs/new budget GPUs like the B580 but with the tariffs the prices of these are INFLATED beyond what I can afford to pay for them. Once something changes (financially speaking) I'll probably throw enough VRAM at it to at least get the 8B models (probably not FP16 but maybe quantised to 4K/8K) running smoothly.

Thanks for the reminder. I have wanted to use character AI for so long but couldn't bear to give away my thought patterns to them (look at my hypocrisy: I'm giving it all away anyway when everyone is free to scrape Lemmy). I guess I'm an idiot.

Interesting. You're using a model without special finetuning for this specific purpose and managed to get it to work with just giving it a prompt. I didn't think that was possible. How would you piece together something like this? Can I just ask AI to give me a prompt which I can use on it/another AI?

How much of VRAM does your GPU have?

Assuming NGINX is terminating SSL, I think the problem is ports.
