Maybe they meant open, as in it leaks your private data and is open to be exploited by advertisers, malware etc?

What a shitshow. And there is a lot of harm done to everyone if this comes true.

Agreed. And I’d say the mobo is more likely, as it has more different components like capacitors and whatnot. So just by volume.

As a final test you could rip out RAM, GPU etc disconnect all unnecessary cables and run just mobo + CPU + PSU. See if it beeps/lights up or changes anything. That’ll rule out a short in some other component being the issue.

I mean we’re not 100% sure, but looks like you’re in for a new mobo (+CPU).

These lights and beep sequences aren’t 100% reliable. So I wouln’t take it for granted. But it’s a bit suspicious in my eyes that none of the LEDs light up. Maybe it’s the PSU, then? I mean it could be anything. And in my experiences it’s most likely a cable that got unseated accidentally by the vacuum… But you mentioned it’s a server… And I’ve had PSUs fail after being online 24/7 for years, and then one day you turn off the power and they won’t ever come back. And with the bent CPU pins I’m not sure. Most of the times straightening them works, but sometimes they break off after doing that.

These kinds of diagnostics are next to impossible without some spare parts, to swap one at a time and see which is at fault. If you don’t figure it out by chance, you’d need to borrow some.

I think mainly because Discord doesn’t align with the values of Lemmy users at all. I guess most of them are here because they don’t like those kinds of platforms, otherwise they’d be on Reddit or someplace else, not here. And additionally it seems your only post/contribution here is advertising for a competing group/community. That’s self-promoting, advertising for a place that trades pirated content and probably in violation of Rule 2 of this community.

I meant ‘online discussion platform’. (Or ‘internet communications platform’ if you like.) But I fail to see the big difference here, considering what we’re talking about.

General warning: Discord is a walled garden and also collects your data.

(And it’s generally considered rude to join some forum just to advertise for a different one. Especially if it doesn’t align with the core values.)

I don’t think this is a piracy community. Maybe have a look at the Wikipedia article and the side bar there.

Though, I don’t think that means they won’t get any better. It just means they don’t scale by feeding in more training data. But that’s why OpenAI changed their approach and added some reasoning abilities. And we’re developing/researching things like multimodality etc… There’s still quite some room for improvements.

Do you think this approach would be worth a try for the threaded Fediverse (aka Lemmy)? I mean your use-case is very different. We have some rudimentary image detection to flag other kinds of unwanted images in Piefed. I could experiment with something like https://github.com/monatis/clip.cpp. Have it go through the media cache and see if it can do something useful for us. But I don’t think it’d be worth all the effort unless the whole approach is somewhat accurate and runs in real time on average VPSes.

This one? I loosely followed your work… Maybe I should try it someday. See how it does on a regular VPS. Thanks for the link to the IFTAS. Seems they have curated some useful links… I’ll have a look at their articles. Hope they get somewhere with that. At this point, I don’t think there is any blocklist accessible to the average Fediverse admin?!

Edit: Thx, saw your other comment with the link to horde-safety.

You’re probably right. I’m not sure if it’s a good idea to walk close to the edge with things like this, though. Every update to the detection model could change things and get them in jail… So I certainly wouldn’t play a cat and mouse game with something that has several years of jailtime attached… But then I don’t really know the thought process of the average pedo. And AI image detection comes with problems anyways. In the article they say it detected 6 million pictures already. While keeping quiet about the rate of false positives. We know people have gotten in serious trouble for (false) claims. And I also wouldn’t want to be the Fediverse admin who has to go through thousands of flagged pictures and look at them and decide which is which. With consequences attached… Maybe a database of hashes would be the only option. That doesn’t detect new pictures, but at the same time it comes without flase positives and you can’t draw conclusions from hash values.

Yeah, unless someone publishes even a set of hashes of known bad content for the general public… I kind of doubt the true intentions are preventing CSAM to the benefit of everyone.

And will we get that technology to keep the Fediverse and free platforms safe? Probably not. All the predecessors have been kept away for sole use of the big players, despite populism always claiming we need to introduce total surveillance to keep the children safe…

Also helps the general population to take part in science. Plus, you can read things your (small) academic institution didn’t subscribe to. And when I tried it, it was super convenient. Just put in the DOI and get a paper, no other steps like university logins, VPNs etc needed.

Yeah, I think $349 is too much. You can get a MiniPC on Amazon for like $250 and that’d include a recent (low-power) CPU, 16GB of RAM and 512GB of SSD. So way more for $100 less, and you don’t even need additional cloud subscriptions.

That’d be a Chromecast TV stick, just with Azure?! How much is the hardware? I’d say this sells if it’s priced right. Let’s say $20 for the box plus $120 anually for a base subscription including Office 365. With optional extras like gaming that’d be on top. Plus extra storage fees and a bit of upselling, it’d be a viable business model, in my eyes.

Edit: It’s $349 plus a currently unknown subscription: https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2024/11/microsoft-builds-a-349-mini-desktop-but-only-for-accessing-windows-in-the-cloud/

We had the same discussion 3 weeks ago: https://lemmy.world/post/21202413

Tl;dr: mastodon.social is hardcoded in the program. So it supports that one instance only.

And I think OP is sneaking this post in from Reddit. The mentioned discussion on “selfhosted”, isn’t what happened here. So I guess they mean r/Selfhosted

You could add Fediverse support: https://github.com/gitroomhq/postiz-app/issues/345

(Just thinking of that, since we’re currently talking via the Fediverse. But this isn’t a request, I don’t use social media enough to need a scheduling tool.)

Ultimately, the same thing applies to all internet services. If you’re paying for a service by watching advertisements, they have to show them to you. I’ll be an additional line in your mail inbox, mixed with the messages. Or an ad in-between the posts of social media. In between the list of news articles. And of course for AI serviced that include advertising, it needs to be the same.
