Have you been wronged by njalla?
I think having an external owner is preferable.

I know you said consumer GPU, but I run a used Tesla P40. It has 24 GB of vram. The price has gone up since I got it a couple years ago, there might be better options in the same price category. Still, it’s going to be cheaper than a modern full fat consumer gpu, with a reasonable performance hit.
My use case is text generation, chat kind of things. In most cases, the inference is more than fast enough, but it can get slow when swapping out large context lengths.
Mostly I run quantized 8-20B models with the sweet spot being around 12. For specialized use cases outside of general language, you can run more compact models. The general output is quite good, and I would have never had thought it was possible 10 years ago.
ETA: I paid about $200 USD for the P40 a couple years ago, plus the price for a fan and 3d printed shroud.
I would do FDE yeah. My current laptop setup is with systemd-boot and a special initramfs that allows me to unlock it with a yubikey, with fallback to password. Fair warning, this exact configuration is not particularly easy to setup.
There are also modules which enable early network connectivity along with a SSH server, meaning you login and unlock it remotely. I have not tried this.
Debian does not frequently require rebooting under normal circumstances. Kernel updates are not that frequent, and you can usually put it off for a bit if you don’t want to deal with it.
CRF 18 is usually where I start at, but that is focusing on quality. I’d imagine you would want a higher starting point.
If you want to find out what different options are or do, the docs are a good place to start: https://x265.readthedocs.io/en/master/cli.html
In my opinion the ideal x265 size/speed/quality is using a tuned slow preset, perhaps with filtering if the source is grainy. A test encode or few should be done to determine an ideal CRF per source.
Since you don’t seem very familiar with x265, I would just stick with the defaults in slow preset, but consider using aq-mode 3 or 5 (only available in the patman mod). You can also adjust the aq-strength to help control the resulting size somewhat, I wouldn’t go lower than 0.5.
I’m with Azire, they have port forwarding and 10 gig servers. Note they were bought recently by malwarebytes, so it is possible things will change in the future. For the time being, things have been great. I moved from OVPN after myself and others started experiencing persistant failures.
I’ve been meaning to try out CryptoStorm. If anyone has experience with them please share.
Congrats! I just got a similar running on Arch with a 5700 XT. When I looked at it a couple years ago, it wasn’t really possible. Now, smooth sailing.
I’ve used https://changenow.io/ several times to get XMR from LTC or vice versa. It’s always worked for me, but I’ve heard of people’s transactions being held if they were large amounts, so exercise caution.
This doesn’t solve the problem of buying the initial crypto, which may or may not be difficult, depending on your jurisdiction.
Yeah, I remember someone getting all their Proton accounts banned, but they had a large amount, basically using it as a disposable provider. Don’t be that person and ruin it for everyone.
I have two with Proton and have had two with Tuta. I don’t think either would bother coming down on that. It could very easily be two people sharing a device with different email accounts or so forth.
MS and other corps love MIT and related licenses because they can just take the code and basically do whatever with it in their projects, so it makes sense for them to promote it. Generally speaking, they won’t touch GPL/AGPL as it would force them to distribute their source.
I believe it was a very intentional choice to use a permissive license for Rust. If they hadn’t, it would not have been as popular as it is today, nor would it have big money behind it. https://rustfoundation.org/members
Yeah, you can turn off registration without a token. Then, if you want someone to register you can issue them a registration token, or manually create their account.
Federation can be turned on, on a case by case basis.
You can set rooms to invite only and not discoverable. Alternately, you can use an invite-only space that allows users to join rooms from there.
The first two parts are done in the server config, see the synapse docs. The last is done once the server is setup and running as an admin.
It is, but doesn’t really play well with PTs in general. Not all trackers support it (some of the software is that old), and even when it works I’ve run into unexpected issues.
I would like it if there was increased adoption.
This is basically the holy grail for finding how to do things or troubleshooting once you have the basics down: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Main_page
A large amount of information is transferrable to other distros, particularly if they use systemd.
I would also spend some time getting comfortable with the command line. There are a million tutorials, guides, and free courses on this topic. Find a shell and terminal emulator you like. I’m using Fish and Kitty these days.
Going against the grain, maybe consider EndeavourOS for a distro? https://endeavouros.com/
I don’t know of any private trackers who are interested in users in your particular circumstances. The reality is, you can’t really seed behind CGNAT. I would really consider shelling out for a VPN, you can get an okay one for 5-10 euro a month. If you’re technically inclined, you could even set your own up on a cheap VPS for less, given you don’t need fast networking.
If you have more experience with Linux CLI over powershell, I’d go with that. There are a few options: WSL2, MSYS2, Cygwin.
It is possible to tonemap DV to SDR, and I think to static HDR as well. Look into madvr and/or mpv. Both should be able to provide real-time tonemapping during playback. For reference, these pink/green videos would be DV Profile 5 (P5). I’ve heard the results are not great, so I would stick with P8 hybrid releases.
In this scenario, the thumbnails are going to be generated when you browse the directory. Probably what network filesystem you’re using. Alternately, maybe there is a maximum file size on previews? I know dolphin has that option.
To start small setup a static website behind nginx. This requires you to create a basic website or copy a template, it goes somewhere in your filesystem, in linux /var/www is common. Once you have that, setup the nginx service and point it to that location. You can do this locally then expose it to the net or put on a VPS. Here is a dead simple guide presuming you have a remote server: https://dev.to/starcc/how-to-deploy-a-simple-website-with-nginx-a-comically-easy-guide-202g
Once you have that covered, ensure you know how to setup ssh keys and such, then install, configure, and run services. From there, most things are easy outside of overly complicated configurations.
I think that error is related to a missing dbus session but don’t quote me on that.
You will probably find it easier to use a system level service, but run it as your unprivileged user with User= and Group= directives. Once you get that working, there are various other parameters you can add to harden the service if you like.
This is a good reference for hardening: https://docs.arbitrary.ch/security/systemd.html
The arch wiki has a good general reference for all things systemd: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Systemd
You could get started with Qt, specifically the legacy widgets. There are bindings for Python available (pyside or pyqt) if you don’t want to learn C++ or another language right away. You can also port your GUI definitions to other languages at a later date.
