Huh, it works great on my android os Nvidia shield

My parents and school administrators’ attempts at blocking unsanctioned activities is what taught me computer literacy

There was nothing quite as satisfying as getting caught opening addictinggames on a web browser through a proxy when the teacher was convinced they had blocked it completely.

I thought about it, but I have a couple other services that could benefit from getting dedicated gpu anyway. Might as well just save for a proper PCIE card.

cool, i might try it

I wanted to get a dedicated card for video transcription anyway, but it’s good to know I don’t necessarily need it.

I’m curious what you’re doing with frigate/ how you’re doing it without a graphics card?

I’ve been using it for object detection, but i had to install it on my workhorse because my server doesn’t have a graphics card. I suppose it doesn’t need one if you’re not doing ml processing, but I’m still curious

Tldr - selfhosting is useful when:

• you need a lot of storage

• you need a lot of processing

• you are collaborating with multiple people/family members

• you are sharing media with other people outside your network

• you are sharing media across devices

• you want a standalone backup independent of your mobile device without doing so manually

• you want more advanced AI features that are not feasible to do on device (such as image detection or live security camera object detection)

• you want your home IOT devices to work locally without a cloud connection

• you have old hardware collecting dust and want to put it to use

• you like to make things

Seems like you might have understood the purpose of those apps, you just didn’t personally have those needs yourself, and that’s fine

Is the reason you advocate avoiding VPN dependencies simply due to downtime if the tailscale service fails? Or is there a particular security vulnerability associated with using VPN subnets?

A massive, comprehensive data privacy law would’ve covered the TikTok base and any software by any other threat

That’s assuming the ban is motivated by privacy reasons, but i don’t think it is. It’s far more likely that it’s because the US has no control over the platform’s algorithm, which they fear is feeding Americans media and perspectives that are antithetical to their foreign policy objectives (Blinken and Romney have both stated as much).

A US buyer would be more friendly/responsive to US regulatory influence. That’s the only reason this isn’t a privacy bill instead of a ban or forced sale.

Yea, they were comparing tiktok to other american-owned social media sites, which are guilty of exactly the same thing themselves.

Any site that doesn’t explicitly push anti chinese content is going to look like a pro-chinese bias

(there are several people in this thread who would not mind banning certain lemmy instances on this basis)

I wonder if op has a strong opinion about china.

Sir, this is a Wendy’s

People keep complaining that AI is hallucinating information not in its source material, but here it is strictly limiting itself to the source and even citing its findings and yet everyone is still upset?

Curious

Lmao, i only ever see this carping from one instance and even just one user

Marx had very little to say about the governing structure of communist governments, but did actually describe socialism as a ‘dictatorship of the proletariat’.

What you’re taking issue with is how marxism was later applied by various political projects, but they all still fall under the umbrella term of Marxism.

Put another way: all Marxist-lenninists are Marxist but not all Marxists are Marxist-lenninists

probably because that distinction is unfounded.

Better .ml than .world, honestly

Tankie culture/factory full of China-bootlicking and genocide denials

Gee, I wonder what your disagreement is

The point is that I have a genuine reason to worry about Russia and Russian propaganda — basically everyone has but if they make more of move on Europe, Imma be 30km from the frontlines, and with the current drone technology, I don’t like my chances in what I’m doing

I’m sorry you’re in that situation, genuinely. I don’t want to be one of those guys that confidently speculates about the future of geopolitical conflict, but Russia benefits a lot more from reactionary isolationists getting voted in throughout the western world and weakening resolve for joint sanction than they do with open conflict with Europe. They wouldn’t be able to march into Finland or Poland without NATO taking action, and they certainly do not want to get into open conflict with NATO - that’s half the reason they’re in Ukraine to begin with.

Sure, yeah, but you do realise what you sound like when you make statements like that? I’ll gladly discuss how fucked up Western politics are when I know I’m not talking to someone straight up worshipping Russia.

And i’d gladly discuss it when I know i’m talking to someone who understands that it isn’t just western ‘politics’, it is a matter of the internal contradictions within democratic capitalism itself. It’s not a matter of western nations ‘deciding’ not to be jackasses, they need to materially separate themselves from the needs of capital itself, and we’ll sooner sink to fascism than achieve that spontaneously.

Essentially he’s remarking that a lot of Asian countries are pretty authoritarian, but know that they need to rely on making bank, which is why they successffully employ capitalism, but impose some authoritarian features on the people owning the companies doing the trade. Not exactly monopolising trade, which would mean no capitalism, but basically… monopolising the people doing capitalism… so… it’s not gonna “play itself out”. How would China starve itself of people and business, while being so resource rich? Even with super heavy regulation and authoritarianism, they could go all the way down to NK level and still have… a population. So you know… you won’t be seeing “the end of” anything like that…

Err, yea… That is basically the only reason they’ve been as successful as a communist nation to begin with. I understand people’s apprehension to include China as a communist or socialist nation state given the idealistic non-violent vision that’s romanticized in the west, but the way in which they’ve enacted their “socialism with Chinese characteristics” is still consistent with a marxist vision of a ‘dictatorship of the proletariat’. I guess we’ll see if/how that system would be implemented in a hypothetical communist/socialist western world, but so far their system has been significantly less violent than even the most charitable characterizations of western democratic capitalism. That’s why I don’t share Zizek’s fear of Chinese authoritarianism taking over in the west - not just because I think the west has greatly exaggerated it to great effect, but also they’ve been downright benevolent with their partner states in comparison to western democratic capitalist states. I think it’s naive to think a western implementation would be the same (but holy shit is that an insane hypothetical given where we currently are)

And the importance of actual war goes above class war, no matter how I’d like to kick up a revolution and start building barricades.

Funnily enough, that is the opposite of what that phrase means - but I can see we’re about to reach the limit on what we agree on so I’ll leave it at that.
