I wrote this to keep Deluge/PIA's interfaces synced and the proper port forwarded. No idea how useful this might be to someone else. But here it is.

https://pastebin.com/TLfa0eFp

I added a user to the deluge auth file called admin with the password admin, so if you don't have that user in your auth file the script might not work, but you can just search for anywhere in the script that says "admin admin" and replace it with your username and password, though if you're running this locally (Local deluge/deluged install) it shouldn't need your auth details anyway. I just added it in case someone was using deluged remotely.

I also have the script set up with a vbs wrapper to have it run as a silent task in the background. But you can do that part yourself, or just manually run this script when needed.

Oh yeah, and i'm using the PIA wiregaurd protocol, so the adapter interface I call to is wgpia0, but it might be different on your machine, depending on your settings and network adapter names.

Idk if these kinds of posts are even allowed here, but I'm getting really frustrated with Opus and need to confirm it's not just me. I'm using it through OpenRouter with Google/Anthropic as a provider (not much difference, desu).

We all know that the models get quantized eventually after the initial rollout, but this feels ridiculous even for quantization. The quality of dialogue has dropped significantly; it now spits on negative examples and actively uses everything from them without much thought. Memory has gotten 10 times worse, it can't remember things properly. The emotional smarts also feel like they're nowhere near the previous levels. It can't infer a lot of subtext anymore, takes things too literally, or, in the rare cases that it does get the context right, it needs to spell it out and acknowledge it explicitly. And overall, the instruction-following is horrible. I've spent a long time tuning the instructions for response length so the dialogue feels natural, instead of a book chapter being thrown at me every time I make a joke. Now it literally can't handle more than two NPCs in a scene. The second NPC either disappears from view and stays completely silent, or Opus launches into a book chapter where it starts writing dialogue for me. Literally no third scenario.

It all was so easy and fluid and natural, and then suddenly it just isn't. And the model doesn't want to cooperate. I've spent like $15 trying to iron out the quirks before just ragequitting because it feels like the model suddenly took a hammer to the head.

Gimmick smartphone for who? If you need texting get a dumb phone. If you need YouTube and social media this is too small. If you need smart features for work some important vibecoded application won't scale properly for your screen and you'll need a normal phone.

Users like actual buttons, audio jacks and expandable storage.

All of this was removed to make the costs of producing a phone cheaper, yet companies continue to charge more and more. This was a benefit to the company and not the consumer.

I have this tandy HX1000 I found in a storage unit a while back. Also a tandy-branded monitor, but unfortunately monochrome.
Anyway I really haven't done anything with it. Which is kinda a shame but I don't know what I would use it for.

Behold, the Dragon 32
An early 80s UK also-ran which was based on the TRS-80 and was somewhat compatible
For some reason the colour palette was almost entirely various shades of vomit and green
(the hi-res graphics mode that used the composite trick to get colours didn't seem to work over here on PAL screens)
The only person I ever knew who had one was my grandfather in the early 90s. For some reason this was his platform of choice and he owned a few second-hand Dragon 32s and 64s, all of them faulty except one 32. He had all the peripherals, a thermal printer, disk drives, analog joysticks. I used to spend hours playing on it whenever we visited the grandparents, and I also wrote a few programs in Microsoft Basic.

My first suggestion would be to flip the layout and have the desk on the other wall. This layout right now, you have to go through all the desks and bookshelves, just to sit.
(Cardinal directions are assumed because of the image).

Try this and see how you like it in your head:
1: desk should be on the western wall (320cm long one).
2: Either up top, in the center of that 320cm wall or down south at the corner.
3: The center would be ideal imho, then you could have your bookshelves on either side. Hell, you could have two up north east.

Just get a DDR 4 Mobo + CPU combo, they're still @ normal prices.

You'll still need 'some' hardware.. but all in all much cheaper.

Biggest issue right now is latency, streaming games have been tried before buy you cannot sell an additional 25-35ms of latency to die hard first person shooter gamers. Imagine clicking to shoot and being later than your contestant due to latency..

I used to work with citrix xenapp, with 2000km between the user and the server. Whenever the ica round trip time went over 50ms users started to complain. I could easily tell this was the issue: just ask user to open notepad and keep a key pressed.. ask them if the letter/keyboard hangs..

I guess that's why they're building datacenters everywhere? If AI doesn't fly they can rent out the gpu's to gamers.

>>107843234
Or for more cloud hosting for B2B, yeah. Either way, prices aren't recovering till either late 2026 or early 2027

How about they both just see you as cattle and want to control your life? I understand the justifiable skepticism for the US. But pretending that Pooh and gang are your personal saviors and friend is flat out profound mental retardation

Risc-v is slower and shitter than ARM. China already has LoongArch for high performance stuff. RISC-V is just for microcontrollers now; I doubt the RISC-V SoC stuff will ever take off to the degree that it becomes better than ARM.

>>107842542
ARM spent over 30 years stuck inside microcontrollers. made an appearance in unaffordable computers in 1987 and disappeared out of that space and reappeared as a microcontroller for mobile devices. most applications of ARM today are microcontrollers. now RISC-V is eating a piece of that market: time for the mental breakdown and cope posts from /g/'s most tech illiterate nigger species.

> I doubt the RISC-V SoC stuff will ever take off

>there's been multiple cases of healthy people with a strong social life, with no prior history of mental health issue, going psychotic after using AI too much
it would be interesting to see what (if any..) common denominators or triggers there were, but thats probably not a research AI Cos will willingly have carried out openly. They make it difficult or impossible to pull chat logs etc. even in cases where it AI use was undeniably a major contributory factor in Shit going South. As has been noted, a sandwich is more regulated than AI and their refusal to acknowledge and openly help in sensitive areas such as its effect on mental health will just lead to eventual wide-ranging AI legislation.
