Dear Discord Privacy Team!

I’m writing to you to inform you that your platform (mobile, desktop, browser) can enforce the user to verify their account with a phone number, after the user has changed their E-Mail adress. This is a serios privacy problem! I’d like you to verify that you don’t intend on providing other (more privacy friendly) means of account verification apart from providing the phone number. I suddenly cannot use my Discord account due to this and I object to providing a phone number.

Kind regards, ~sntx

It’s affected by the write-hole phenomenon. In BTRFS case that can mean that perfectly good old data might corrupt without any notice.

You might get sued.

That’s true, sr.ht it not a drop-in-replacement, but rather a full on alternative.

TIHI Why isn’t the logo centered…?

Fascinating idea!

I really like radicle though.

I use sourcehut, specifically because I like their web gui!

Do you know how access rights management work on radicle?

Last time I checked I could just add commits to any open PR…

Luckily, the main repo is different, having a canonical version.

While you’re at it, would you mind implementing good braille support for wayland?

NixOS just sits on your face. All the stuff in front of you is awesome. Though you might suffocate at any moment given the options. Oh and sticking your nose too deep into things might get you a broken nose.

I’m using rustic, a lock-free rust-written drop-in-replacement of restic, which (I’m referring to restic and therefore in extension to rustic) supports always-encrypted, deduplicating, compressed and easy backups without you needing to worry about whether to do a full- or incremental-backup.

All my machines run hourly backups of all mounted partitions to an append-only repo at borgbase. I have a file with ignore pattern globs to skip unwanted files and dirs (i.e.: **/.cache).

While I think borgbase is ok, ther’re just using hetzner storage boxes in the background, which are cheaper if you use them directly. I’m thinking of migrating my backups to a handfull of homelabs from trusted friends and family instead.

The backups have a randomized delay of 5m and typically take about 8-9s each (unless big new files need to be uploaded). They are triggered by persistent systemd-timers.

The backups have been running across my laptop, pc and server for about 6 months now and I’m at ~380 GiB storage usage total.

I’ve mounted backup snapshots on multiple occasions already to either get an old version of a file, or restore it entirely.

There is a tool called redu which is like ncdu but works on restic/rustic repos. This makes it easy to identify which files blow up your backup size.

Thanks for the writeup! So far I’ve been using ollama, but I’m always open for trying out alternatives. To be honest, it seems I was oblivious to the existence of alternatives.

Your post is suggesting that the same models with the same parameters generate different result when run on different backends?

I can see how the backend would have an influence hanfling concurrent api calls, ram/vram efficiency, supported hardware/drivers and general speed.

But going as far as having different context windows and quality degrading issues is news to me.

Is there an inherent benefit for using NVLINK? Should I specifically try out Aprodite over the other recommendations when having 2x 3090 with NVLINK available?
