If RAM and GPUs were cheap people like us would be more likely to set up local LLMs to prevent our data from being productized by power-grabbing corporations.

He’s a bazillionaire, who cares about the cost of living or taxes?

kmirl@lemmy.worldto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How do you build and cultivate revolutionary optimism, given what's happening in the US?English2·3 months agoOf course I agree that Trump is an idiot, but he’s also a belligerent narcissist. From what I’ve read his staff didn’t know the tariffs were coming until he started imposing them on random countries via social media.

Honestly wondering if this was done deliberately by DOJ tech folks who weren’t on board with the cover-up.
kmirl@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's the best YouTube video that you watched in 2025?English2·4 months agoApalrd’s Adventures did a video on setting up a nginx server to cache Debian/Ubuntu updates. As it happened I had an old, brittle apt-cache server that was taking up a massive amount of space. This guy did all of the heavy lifting and I had his solution running in like 10 minutes. I have a proxmox cluster with about two dozen VMs running Debian and Ubuntu, so this was perfect.
Any of you other Linux weenies out there should give this guy a subscribe. He’s the real deal.
kmirl@lemmy.worldto Reddit@lemmy.world•Reddit is controlled by Bots - protect your opinionsEnglish9·4 months agoThat’s what I did when they banned 3rd party APIs. I remember when Reddit was great, but I have no interest in the sewer it has turned into.

kmirl@lemmy.worldto Fedibridge@lemmy.dbzer0.com•/r/RedditAlternatives - "I like the idea of the fediverse but it's never gonna get popular."English24·5 months agoHonestly, I’m fine with that. I was in university back in the early 90’s, and the majority of folks on Usenet were either in university, or worked for large businesses or the government. The level of discourse was surprisingly high, especially compared to the sewer that is the modern internet. I dumped reddit a couple of years ago when it closed off access to 3rd-party apps, and I’m happy to leave it for the karma farmers, bots, and AI slop. I much prefer Lemmy.
kmirl@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Was there ever a time where you were incredibly lucky?English81·9 months agoI won some Tupperware at bingo in the church basement when I was nine years old.
I have a similar one as well for debian-based operating systems…
dist-upgrade() { sudo apt update && sudo apt dist-upgrade && sudo apt autoremove }To get this to work without a password, i dropped a file in /etc/sudoers.d that allows anyone in the sudo group to sudo apt without a password.
root@tux:~# cat /etc/sudoers.d/apt
# Cmnd alias specification Cmnd_Alias COMMANDS = /usr/bin/apt, /usr/bin/apt-get, /usr/bin/dpkg # Use apt commands without a password %sudo ALL=(root) NOPASSWD: COMMANDS
Same for me using Boost on Android. It looks like Reddit only without the bots and AI slop.
Not claiming it’s the reason since it clearly isn’t, only that it will help drive traffic to commercial AI products.
