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?

That makes it harder for people who might have benefitted from your solutions, but doesn’t do anything to prevent Reddit or OpenAI from accessing them. I don’t see a point

Thanks man, that would be much appreciated

Thanks, looking forward to it

Thanks. I don’t see the content of the blogs in the feed, just the title - but maybe that’s a problem with my reader (I use Capy on Android). I’ll try a couple of other readers to see if it works

You got an RSS feed for me?

Your blog is awesome. I have always wanted someone to break down RF homelabbing for me and I think as your blog progresses I will find such content.

I’m also looking for blogs/material on OS hardening (Linux/*nix), do you plan to write on that (and any recommendations)?

Using a SIM has never been private. Cell phone coverage has always been an instrument of surveillance.

Coming back to this thread, I do think some of your comments were inflammatory. If you were to receive a ban, it should have been for trying to bring fights in the comments (but even that is ambiguous at best). I agree that the ban for a comment was too much. An admin shouldn’t be conflating one such action with overall behaviour. As for “repeated bad-faith behaviour”, it is not so far out to ban you I think. People should be responsible for their own actions.

Mod is biased. There’s no 2 ways around it

Ban was unjustified. db0 needs to at least point to someone accountable, seeing that he is still the benevolent dictator

That means it’s likely a problem with DNS.

Yeah I’m not going to run them on CPUs, that’s not going to be very good. I’ll buy the GPUs when I can.

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?

Don’t know why people care about overwriting their comments. It’s not like Reddit and Discord lose your content anyway. Having my content sold by Reddit is just as bad as OpenAI or Discord, so I just don’t say private stuff on those platforms

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

Thanks for the edit. You have a very intriguing idea; a second LLM in the background with a summary of the conversation + static context might make performance a lot better. I don’t know if anyone has implemented it/knows how one can DIY it with Kobold/Ollama. I think it is an amazing idea for code assistants too if you’re doing a long coding session.

Better be AGPL or she’s never getting cloned on my PC, that’s for sure!

I see. Thanks for the note. I think beyond 48GB of VRAM diminishing returns set in very quickly so I’ll likely stick to that limit. I wouldn’t want to use models hosted in the cloud so that’s out of the question.
