READ THE (temp)WIKI! & help by contributing:
https://igwiki.lyci.de/wiki/Home_server

/hsg/ is about learning and expanding your horizons. Know all about NAS? Learn virtualization. Spun up some VMs? Learn about networking by standing up a OPNsense/PFsense box and configuring some VLANs. There's always more to learn and chances to grow. Think you’re god-tier already? Setup OpenStack and report back.

>What software should I run?
Install Gentoo. Or whatever flavor of *nix is best for the job or most comfy for you. Jellyfin/Emby/Plex to replace Netflix, Nextcloud to replace Googlel, Ampache/Navidrome to replace Spotify, the list goes on. Look at the awesome self-hosted list and ask.

>Why should I have a home server?
De-botnet your life. Learn something new. Serving applications to yourself, your family, and your frens feels good. Put your tech skills to good use for yourself and those close to you. Store their data with proper availability redundancy and backups and serve it back to them with a /comfy/ easy to use interface.

Mostly because I just fundamentally disagree with the licensing model. I don't care that it costs money, I don't support differentiating based on how many HDDs you have hooked up or any other random bullshit like that.
The software itself is fine. I prefer the proxmox ZFS version but if you're fine with the licensing and the money go ahead, it seems pretty retard proof from what I've seen.

I don't understand, why isn't Microsoft using AI to update the signature database dynamically??
What the fuck are they doing still manually "pushing" out updates, they need to use AI to dynamically update the system in real time and make the dynamic changes. The code needs to live and breathe as a living entity. This is the future we were promised. AI is supposed to fix these issues. This isn't Windows XP or Windows 7 anymore. The mere concept of... installing an update... like dude what the fuck get with the times Microsoft.

I have the actual genuine keyboard this is based on that includes the win key instead of the other one that doesnt have it and comes with the ibm logo
I dont really use it much and it feels lighter than the keyboard on the x220 and also a specific combination of win + shift + right seems to not work while all 3 of those keys individually work fine
I'm curious if the tex shinobi feels better than the genuine lenovo one or not. I heard that middle button where mousewheel up/down is supposed to be doesnt actually work properly as a mousewheel like the regular thinkpad keyboard would
>>107827945
Honestly if i wanted a numpad i would just get a separate standalone one that can be placed like on the other side of the mouse and mousepad instead of increasing the distance between the kb and mouse

Also created a 135% staggered layout.
Again, every segment is independent of each other but this time you cannot "click" the numpad, macro-pad or arrow-segment in between the halves.
Mx are Macro Keys (duh), Ux are for modules like OLEDs, ro-coders, media keys or extra macro keys. I might add a few more Ux keys around the arrow-keys, maybe I'll turn Fn, right Super and Menu into Ux keys as well. IDK yet.
I still want to add modules like the UHK60 and UHK80 have, but for now I guess I'm happy with the layout.

Any feedback?

I work for a corp that pulls down a few billion in profit. They went the other way round, mass jeeting with onshore jeets, then seriously a policy that all new assets had to be spun up offshore in india, which took the shit code I'd gotten from the onshores and made it so much worse that timeliness for every major deployment at least doubled. And now going insanely hard on AI. If I was to tinfoil hat, I'd say it was because shifting to onshore Indians that are citizens is protected by accusations of racism if criticized, from onshores to offshores is seen as too hard to secure against when it's a fifth the cost and the pitched view is 'they'll take a couple years to get up to speed then be great' (ignoring the insane churn) (plus if you hired them as contractors and the offshore facility is a subsidiary you're 'just replacing contractors with full-timers') and then going from offshore jeet to AI can be pitched as no job loss for citizens.
But really it's just disparate retarded choices at odds with each other driven by our major stakeholders.

No it isn’t, an Apple-sized elephant is the size of an apple. The answer is literally in the question, there is zero requirement to do any calculations. It asked how big, not how massive, or how much does it weight.
>>
>>107852429
A calculator is capable of finding answers for given inputs, with nearly 100% accuracy. I guess they’re the super intelligence we were looking for.

Meme’s aside, these things are built solely to produce locally coherent text, the “correctness” is a result of statistically modelling typically coherent and correct human text. It isn’t even that flexible, give it curveball and it’ll resolutely give a wrong answer. They have literally no formal reasoning capacity, if it’s correct it’s either because the correct answer is the most common answer statistically, or you got lucky and on a regen it’ll be wrong.

Critically, LLMs lack any capacity for meaningful self-reflection and introspection. The “thinking” text spit out by newer models is hallucinatory bullshit that has no connection to the internal process. It improves results only because it brings the input text for the final step closer to that of carefully reasoned human writing. The appearance of intelligence is an artefact of the dataset it is modelling, not any kind LLMs as a technology themselves. They’re shit at math, and either cheat by calling other tools heuristically, or luck out because the question given is common enough online for the token probabilities to line up.

In short, I’m loathe to call it intelligence, because there is no thinking, no ability to learn, a pathological inability to notice mistakes, and an inability to apply “known” knowledge to novel scenarios. I find it difficult to believe that animal intelligence relies solely, or even largely, on statistical retrieval of previously seen facts.

yeah man, after the dot com bubble popped and shit like pets.com took billions of dollars of investment the internet died
noone uses it anymore because it was overhyped, overinvested and made a bunch of useless shit
>>
>>107854196
Pretty big cope, buddy. You know you're too emotionally invested in a topic when you start attacking points that weren't even made.
>>
>>107854196
And pets.com is still not a thing. Essentially, people burned billions of dollars in a big fire, gained nothing, and also failed to invest in a majority of the major tech giants nowadays. Much like the Dotcom bubble, the criticism is not that it is a complete scam technology, but that it is not mature, has no clear market, and despite this, it is having ungodly amounts of money dumped into it.

It is about scale, not whether it has any sort of use at all. Retard investors were dumping money into Dotcom because they could see potential, but they didn’t understand the technology, the userbase or the work involved. They hyped others up, those people then dump money in, repeat until it becomes so blatantly obvious it’s not sensible to dump billions of dollars into a nascent technology without a clear or tested market, and it crashes and burns.

AI is even worse, it’s not even going to build useful infrastructure we could bring back online in 10-20 years when we actually need it, power plants don’t mothball well, data centres have excessive maintenance fees that will see them either demolished or ignored (and thus rendered useless) during the interim. Not only that, but it is actively hindering other industries by hogging resources and investments. In short, most investors are retarded, and will buy anything another rich investor says is a good investment.

>>107854136
Why did they ever think that wokeness would somehow make money?

Agreed. Also imagine the fucking collosal influx of cheap throwaway enterprise tech flooding the market after it all crashes down. I precum a little every time I think about that.
