Thanks! I’ve updated the link. I always just use Batocera or something like that, which has Emulationstation and Kodi set up for me. So I don’t pay a lot of attention to the included projects and their development state…

I didn’t include this, since OP wasn’t mentioning retro-gaming. But Batocera, Recalbox, Lakka, RetroPie are quite nice. I picked one which includes both Kodi and Emulationstation and I can switch between the interfaces with the gamecontroller. I get all the TV and streaming stuff in Kodi, and Emulationstaation launches the games. And I believe it can do Flatpaks and other applications as well.

https://plasma-bigscreen.org/ from KDE? I’m not sure if they’ve replaced that since. Wikipedia says it’s unmaintained. Depending on your use-case, you might want to have a look at Emulationstation, Steam Big Picture and Kodi Plugins, as well.

I think I’m fine. I’ll just search for some words in the title and that usually returns the correct post. And as long as it’s the Fediverse and not a closed forum with login or Discord, I can use Google, since it’s on the open internet. At least for Lemmy. Other than that it’s really hard. I don’t think any search engine can find me the article that I skimmed by Friday evening where I just vaguely remember on how it was about some Youtuber that I know, and I have no other information. I sometimes want to find stuff and it’s impossible. With any search engine/method. Sometimes my browser history helps me with that. Or homing in on a timeframe and a rough place and then scrolling through things. But a least for me it tends to be one of the two extremes. Either the rudimentary tools are fine. Or it’s really hard but a “better” search wouldn’t cut it either.

I think many people use it and it works. But sorry - no, I don’t have any first-hand experience. I’ve tested it for a bit and it looked fine. Has a lot of features and it should be as efficient as any other ggml/llama.cpp based inference solution at least for text. I myself use KoboldCPP for the few things I do with AI and my computer is lacking a GPU so I don’t really do a lot of images with software like this. And it’s likely going to be less for you than the 15 minutes it takes me to generate an image on my unsuited machine.

Maybe LocalAI? It doesn’t do python code execution, but pretty much all of the rest.

I’d just set up the reverse proxy on the VPS and make it forward everything via IPv6. But you could also use a tunnel/VPN, everything from Tailscale to Wireguard or even an SSH tunnel would work. And there are dedicated services like Cloudflare, nohost, neutrinet, pagekite…

You could run multiple mail servers. Or download from Sharehosters in parallel. Or download more Youtube videos before the rate limit stops you. Or use virtualization or containers to launch some more virtualized servers.

Sure, I have an old PC with an energy efficient mainboard and a PicoPSU and I wouldn’t want anything else. I believe it does somewhere around 20W-25W though. And I have lots of RAM, a decent (old) CPU and enough SATA ports… Well, I would go for a newer PC, they get more energy efficient all the time… But it’s a lot of effort to pick the components unless some PC magazine writes something or someone has a blog with recommendations.

You’ll want to look up the QNAP as well. I’ve seen reports with quite some variety on the power consumption. Depending on the exact model, it could be somewhere in the range from 25W to 55W… So could be less, could be the same. And have a look at the amount of RAM if you want to run services on it.

I think Radicale, Baikal, SabreDAV or NextCloud are the most common choices. I read those names a lot.
But I believe only one of those isn’t written in PHP.

I’d really recommend digging into the “hacking” though. Unless you learn from your specific mistakes and avoid that in the future, you might run in to the exact same issue again. And I mean it could be a security flaw in the program code of the WebDAV server. But it could as well be a few dozen other reasons why your server wasn’t secure… (Missing updates, insecure passwords, missing fail2ban, a webserver or reverse proxy, unrelated other software… There are a lot of moving gears in a webserver and lots of things to consider.)

I can’t remember the exact details, but I believe the attackers also targeted instances? So it’s not just that it happens with certain problematic instances, but everyone could have that uploaded to their media storage. And it can come from arbitrary places. I believe that adds to the problem. And it kind of requires to shut these things down for everyone. Or at least everyone except a few excellent hand-picked instances who cooperate closely, and the moderation tools actually work.

Yes, they’ve done an excellent job. I just wish they wouldn’t have to deal with these things.

(And I also think some of the child protection agencies should finally offer some open-source tool to scan content. Afaik there are still no image classifiers or hash tables I could use for my projects.)

Same, same. I can’t verify it and I probably don’t want to. But I had people assure to me it happened.

I think they would need to find a way to address the problem first. Reportedly, these images have been a huge problem here on Lemmy. Several times now.

I think if you use a SIP provider, they’ll have an app or a description on their website how to connect with third-party software. Just install it on a device you take with you, and configure it as per their description. Examples for Android SIP softphones are Linphone and Baresip.

Other options: you have a AVM Fritzbox at home and install their app. Or you set up an entire PBX like Asterisk or FreePBX or one of the other ones. That’s rather complex and involved.

Maybe send the follow-up mail to the moderation team anyway, including full username. And maybe a explanation that you were just questioning the unavailabily of the report, not intending to endorse the wannabe nazi party. So they get what this is about.

How many days did you wait for an answer? Sometimes people are just very impatient and this week thursday to sunday might have been days off for some German people.

Nah, I don’t think there’s a lot on IPv6 in that book. I think OP’s concern is valid. Accessing devices at home isn’t unheard of. The amount of smart home stuff, appliances and consumer products increases every day. And we all gladly pay our ISPs to connect us and our devices to the internet. They could as well do a good job while at it. I mean should it cost extra to manage a static prefix, so be it. But oftentimes they really make it hard to even give them money and obtain that “additional” service.

I wonder how often the assigned prefix changes with most of the regular ISPs. I’d have to look someone else’s router since I’m still stuck on an old contract. But I believe what I saw with some of the regular consumer contracts: the prefixes stay the same for a long time. You could just slap a free DynDNS service on top and be done with it.

But yes, I think this used to be the promise… We’d all get IPv6 and a lot of gadgets like NAS systems, video cameras and a wifi kettle and they’d be accessible from outside. Instead of that we use big capitalist cloud services and all the data from the internet of things devices has some stopover in the China cloud.

This uses Cargo and Rust. Not npm and NodeJS… I mean go ahead and try, this is an entirely different programming language. Nothing in your comment will do anything. It is like if you were talking Portuguese to someone who only understands English. So I think you can skip the long non-working code examples. Focus on the idea insted, flesh it out and contribute that.

You’d need to change the idea a lot and make it more specific. This way it’s not a good idea. I guess a local instance chat could be useful for some specific things? But then this is a platform to discuss underneath posts in communities. So we can already talk to each other…

This is not NodeJS, so it won’t work that way. Also tracks users a different way. Also this is the Fediverse community and this doesn’t federate.
