Do you actually train the LLM or use RAG? I have been looking for a local LLM + Wikipedia RAG solution for a while now.

For now I just have kiwix-serve + searxng doing a simple search but the Kiwix search is…questionable.

I wrote an application which runs on my server and monitors my favorites on Tidal/Deezer/Qobuz. It downloads them in bulk whenever I have a premium account with one of them. Usually I purchase a month of premium every few months, at which point I get nice clean FLACs for local use.

The FLACs are moved to Jellyfin and I stream them using Finamp, which also supports transcoding, so I keep 128 kbps Opus files for offline playback and stream the raw FLAC files when bandwidth is no concern.

I have amassed a huge music library over the last decades, so even if all streaming websites go under tomorrow, I have enough music locally to last me a lifetime.

I am happy if someone uses AI first to come up with a coherent message, bug report, or question.

LLMs do not add anything of value to bug reports, they add unecessary padding requiring me to filter out the marketing speech to get down to the issue. I would much rather have the raw brain dump of theirs.

If somebody sends me their ChatGPT text I now ask them to send me their prompt instead so I don’t have to waste my time on their lengthy text that has the same amount of information as the original.

I am annoyed if it’s ill-researched/understood nonsense, AI assisted or not.

Being coherent is rarely the problem in bug reports, it’s the user not properly typing out what the actual issue is.

I have gotten bullet point list bug reports that read like they were written by an insane person that were more useful than a nicely written ChatGPT message with 0 information in it.

If we’re talking about online editing, Collabora has web editors based on LibreOffice but with a modern UI: https://www.collaboraonline.com/

They are really great and can be self hosted (e.g. with Nextcloud).

For offline editing, as already mentioned, LibreOffice has an optional ribbon UI and OnlyOffice looks pretty modern as well.

Yes, that’s still a bit annoying unfortunately.

Editing the fstab to properly mount a network share also currently has no UI available in KDE and has to be done manually.

but to discover it on my other linux machine is always a chore that involves editing a few config files and just kinda randomly poking around until it works.

What’s your desktop environment? On KDE you can just enter smb://serverhost/path in the Dolphin navigation bar and it will open it.

Indeed. Connections to my Tor bridge dropped by 80% when Iran disconnected.

The first one I think is a fundamental limitation in that display preferences by default is per-user. Maybe this makes it work for you? https://feddit.online/post/1350756/comment/6636228

I don’t really have this problem anymore since I got rid of my projector which advertised a resolution it couldn’t handle. Had to login into the void since the login screen never showed up. Looks like this might be fixable nowadays.

The 24h clock might be similar - check your system-wide locale.

The locale is set to American English but the time format is set to German, something the lock screen can handle but SDDM cannot. I also tried applying the Plasma settings to SDDM a few times but it doesn’t really change anything.

It always chooses the default highest resolution, (which may not work on some devices with faulty EDID), does not respect the Wayland/X11 choice, has a long pause when going from login screen to desktop and does not support 24h clocks.

Just to name a few.

How drunk are these guys?

Ask the dude that renamed Twitter to X (formerly Twitter).

PipePipe/NewPipe also have support for streaming directly from CCC.

AND per app focus stealing prevention settings.

It does? BRB, putting Steam on the lowest level possible so I can turn everything else back up.

I don’t really want automatic updates, I want a notification once a month with all images that have a newer :latest available or if versionised, when a image with a newer version is available.

Does this check for version tags as well or only updates to the current tag?

Like the current container uses an image with the tag :0.1.0 or :v0.1.0 but :0.2.0 is available on the registry.

Depends on what they settle on, especially for screen sharing. Many downscale content for people with weaker connections.

I currently have a Raspberry Pi 3 B+ but I’m aware it’s a bit old and is ARM so I’m thinking of buying a Pi 5.

The Pi 5 lacks a H264 hardware encoder/decoder, making it unsuitable for most streaming/transcoding purposes.

The EU store ships from the EU with warranty, support, etc. for quite a hefty premium. I ordered from the global store which ships from Hong Kong. Paid ~500€ a year ago (including taxes).

The display looks great and mine doesn’t have the stuck pixel or the buggy lines issue you experienced

They have since fixed that.

though I do have very noticeable ghosting artifacts

Unfortunately just the nature of the technology. If you’re just reading, DU4:3 works the best, for manga I use the full G:4 mode with screen refresh for every page flip enabled.

I wrote some custom profiles for each (Default, Book, Manga, Notes, Notes (Landscape) which I have on my desktop, I can send you the scripts if you want.

Couldn’t find a good way to use browsers on it yet since they all smooth scroll instead of jumping in fixed intervals.

I left mine running over night with KOReader open, Nextcloud in background, no suspend and it took 20 hours and 10 minutes to go from 100% to 10%.

As @poweruser@lemmy.sdf.org wrote, there is a pretty significant phantom drain where it loses about 15% per day when suspended.

I have used the same tip for a year and it’s still fine. It also comes with 2 tip replacement and all of the generic pens for EMR screens work on the Pinenote.

Can’t say much about the battery life but I’m going to leave it running once it’s fully charged and report back.
