ominous ocelot

Olympia barred Russia as response to their war. It didn’t hurt Russia economically but maybe it send a message to their general public. Or maybe it was more a message for the opposite party. I’m not sure.

There is not much to spark with the current shortage I heard.

It is not about product sales or healthy conditions for employees or customer value. It’s about using property to get more property. And about financial speculation.

Docker and docker compose should work within macos, or not? (its a unix after all) you could setup a test environment there (jellyfin, navidrome, nextcloud and the like). I’m not sure which iMac… they use arm and RISC processors in some of them I heard. It is possible you won’t find docker-images which are made for these processors. Amd64 (Intel, amd) is the least problematic in this regard.

For always on services (like filesharing or nas) a low power device would be good (a used raspberry. or celeron n powered all-in-one device if you want to have an UEFI capable and amd64 compatible platform with sata, more LAN ports and m.2.)

VPN and maybe a parrot are recommended too. ;)

Edit:
For streaming maybe a VPN / anonymizing proxy is sufficient. In some countries even this shouldn’t be necessary but it doesn’t hurt. If you pay for illegal streaming they might catch you via the money trail when the platform is seized. But i doubt it that they care about the customers, they should just be after the providing party.

Now, what about escalators? …for the escalating part of the hike.

My approach: Don’t listen to him. Only results count.

If your box isn’t globally addressable (because of NAT), your box can’t be connected to. It works one way only, from the inside out - because the NAT-router keeps track of the connections your box makes to globally addressable hosts and forwards reply packages back to your box.

You could use IPv6 which because of the vast amounts of ipv6-addresses, eliminates the need for NAT. Or you could use a VPN or a tunneling service which gives you a dedicated IP. Or port forwarding from a globally addressable host. Either self hosted or as a service. Switch to an ISP which doesn’t do CGNAT.

In short: ipv6 is easiest.:)

Edit: does anybody know if a non addressable seed box gets info about interested and globally addressable peers somehow (either tracker or tracker-less) so it can initiate a TCP connection to those peers? Are there resources to read up in that topic?

Good times.:)

Game theory? He needs the west to do what he told his people the west would do?

But he doesn’t need the NATO to actually attack to substantiate his rhetoric. Or does he?

Sounds plausible. Thanks

What’s the aim here?
Testing the west?
Numbing NATOs reaction through repetition? - crying wolf repeatedly worked well for Hamas, but it is a bit different here.
Some domestic politics related demonstration of power like Sapad25?

Interesting. What a strange companionship. :)

What? Ah here it is:

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang confirmed today that Nvidia will contribute “GPU chiplets” that Intel can place alongside its x86 CPU cores instead of the Arc integrated graphics it develops in-house today.

They could buy AMD Radeon chiplets too, that would be something.:)

He sells weapons to Ukraine and strongly urges the other NATO members to increase their military budget. How can this be explained?

Trump

Controlling, steering, influencing - who knows. He is still hoping for a Trump Tower at the Red Square or something like that.

The problem is that the ministers of the department of state and the department of defense aren’t up to their task either. I mean Hegseth?

The proxy war in Ukraine strengthens China, India, North korea. China gets the chance to ramp up its military production capacity even more while Russia pays for it. North Korea gains military know-how… submarines, rockets, drones. India gets cheap gas.
Ok, Syria’s regime collapsed, but the country isn’t stable at all.

Europe is forced to arm itself or so they say. The result is a diminishing influence of the US on Europe. The broken promise to protect Ukraine if they give up their nukes reduces the trust in the US. The US diplomacy doesn’t look exactly coherent - Russia has not much reason to take the US seriously atm.

Russia’s autocracy is stabilized by the war. Its war against Ukraine didn’t hurt Russia too much, it even gained something. A message to other countries with ambitions to try it themselves. Canada, Greenland and Taiwan are on the menu I heard.

And: Resources are wasted. Environment and climate are damaged. People die.

Not sure if the advantages outweigh the negative aspects or if it is more about domestic political opportunism and cleptocracy/ personal gain. Inexperiencie and shortsightedness too, maybe.

data in transit

Yes, but then it is stored unencrypted on github. Ready to be used as training data by github.com/ Microsoft or whoever. Which isn’t bad per se for i. e. public repositories. Just pointing out, that the weakest link in your chain of security measures is the… weakest link.

If you wanted to secure your code, you could store it on-site, behind a firewall, in its own network segment, with encrypted offsite backups. Elliptic curve cypto would help too in this scenario. And MFA. And access restrictions. Many possible measures.

That’s what LLM are made for;

Hence the Name? :)

I mean the automatic speech recognition and transcription capabilities are quite useful. But that’s about it, for me for now.

It could be interesting for frame interpolation in movies at some point maybe, I guess.

I dream of using it for the reliable classification of things. But I haven’t seen it working reliably, yet.

For the creation of abstracts and as a dialog system for information retrieval it doesn’t feel exact/correct / congruent enough to me.

Also: A working business plan to make money with actual AI services has yet to be found. Right now it is playing with a shiny new toy and the expectations and money of their investors. Right now they fail to deliver and the investors might get restless. Selling the business while it is still massively overrated, seems like the only way forward. But that’s just my opinion.
