I’ve been using Linux for a long time and I don’t know any of this really.

Basically, home directory is for everything, unless some instructions say some other path.

The fact that the American public doesn’t care about this is pretty much what has allowed Trumpism to arise.

Probably not that much honestly.

The resource intensive part is the initial training.

Tuning later is much less so.

Here they’re pretty great with welfare stuff.

Once my neighbour warned me about robots with lasers invading or something, and was talking to someone who didn’t exist.

I called the po-po, who showed up and talked him into going to the emergency department with them.

I bumped into his mum a few weeks later and she thanked me for calling the police. She said he’d been having a psychotic break or something.

It was definitely a thing at school in the 80s.

I was listening to a podcast about this.

Basically if things get toxic enough that the oligarcs become dissatisfied, you can unseat a dictator.

The tariffs were initially on track to do this in May or so, but someone expressed their dissatisfaction to Trump and he listened.

Boycotts have a potential to make a significant impact, but I don’t think Americans have the collective will to implement one in the current climate.

I don’t have your faith.

Nothing in the last decade has given any indication that the US has the ability or inclination to deal with this.

Yeah im suddenly a bit lost.

I was hoping to by a 78 series truck / ute in 3 or 4 years. Every time I see one i marvel at them.

Now that dream is ruined.

Yeah it really is.

Im getting a bit nutty about it. Every time someone mentions starlink I rage a little bit and its hard to resist a rant.

People have been talking about “post scarcity” since forever.

Yes, in the far distant future people will be able to have things they need and not have to work. AI will also exist in that future.

However, I don’t think anyone believes that future will arrive in the next decade.

I’m not saying Trump doesn’t have dementia, but I don’t feel like this outburst is really evidence of that?

He doesn’t like women. Doesn’t like journalists. Doesn’t like smart women. Doesn’t like being asked questions.

His base loves this stuff. No one is going to hold him accountable. He can say anything he likes with impunity.

What do you mean “what if”? Of course thats what they’re going to do.

I’ve been saying this since the start. The Trump administration will never release anything damaging to Trump.

They’ll just release some fairytale. They’ve had months to get it in order.

What about all the safety tech?

This isbprobably a philosophical question that i dont know the answer to, but its still a waste.

I suspect record numbers of Americans would leave given the chance.

Its just an authoritarian shit hole at this point.

As I’ve been saying for months, they’re not going to release anything that makes them look bad.

It will just be a list of democrats they dont like or something.

This is really just a guess but… I think “agent” in this context means a personalised AI.

Training gen AI models requires huge amounts of resources. Its not practical to train an AI for your personal use.

Creating an agent is something like, taking an existing model, asking it to keep your entire browser history in mind while you ask it to do your homework.

IMO its actually one of the big limitations of gen AI, but somehow the word is supposed to mean the opposite. As in, the current approach has reached a dead end requiring exponentially more resources for less and less improvement. So because we can’t make a model that just knows or learns everything, we have to make agents that know lots about specific things.

I’ve never used tailscale but use wireguard extensively.

There’s not much of a learning curve for you as the administrator. You have to discard some misconceptions you might bring from other VPNs but really after 30 minutes of looking at configs you’ll get it.

I use wireguard for my small team of 5 people to access self hosted services. You install wireguard, load the config, and then it just works.

The trick, if it can be called that, is using public dns for private services.

On your server, suppose you have service-a service-b and service-c in containers with ip addresses in the 10.0.2.0/24 range. Then you’d have a reverse proxy like traefik at 10.0.2.1. You’d also create a wireguard container with an IP in that same 10.0.2.0/24 range, and configure it’s wireguard adapter to be 10.0.12.1 or soomething so you have “2” for the containers and “12” for the wireguard clients.

Then in wireguard configurations you direct all traffic for 10.0.2.0/24 through the tunnel but everything else just uses their devices normal internet connection.

Finally create a public dns record pointing to the reverse proxy like *.mydomain.com > 10.0.12.1

now whatever.mydomain.com will resolve to your reverse proxy but is still only available to devices connected to the wireguard container on your server.

Why would they release actual unredacted documents? It will just be a fairy tale about evil dems.
