USB is not good as its a huge bottleneck, and most external accelerators are (was?) passive without any ram onboard. Google Coral was/is ‘passive’ in that it resends all data all the time over the interface - Npu<->system ram.

I were going to recommend these: https://shop.geniatech.com/product/m2-ai-inference-acceleration-module/

40tops, ARM + Npu + 16gb ddr4 - a whole little Inference computer on a NVME interface. Kinara (Ara240) is a homegrown Chinese chip. While they are usually selling b2b, you can ask anyway. YMMW atmo. Also note that some NPU’s are less efficient at llm’s vs vision.

…but I see that they also rose almost 4* in price since I asked for, and were offered the price of 179$ ~7M ago, which is already a long time in this space. Not sure how the current ~650$ stacks up to the rest of the offers out there at the moment, but these small active AI systems on NVME are a great way of upgrading a piss-old server, enhance a new cheap 4-8port NVME mini-NAS or similar, and there’s no clear bottleneck in the interface.

Look for something like this instead of Nvidia Coral and other ‘passive’ sticks, that are all - imho - overpriced/underperforming.

I have not tried, and couldn’t find a model called ‘Huawei 5’, so std apolls if I waste your time.

Have you considered OpenHarmony.cn ? Huawei made HarmonyOS, forked it and supports openharmony community-based OS themselves, so there’s a chance that your tablet will work with it.

“You do need to own a copy of the game to play it with OpenTS”

Arg!! I love these passionate re-imaginations, remakes and whatnot of old games, but they are already developing with AI, so why are they not generating a new asset resource that replaces all the original proprietary stuff!

Anyway, I hope we soon get complete asset replacement for ALL the old games Diablo, C&C, Baldurs gate and hundreds of other old classics that all have an open engine that still relies on shtty original copies of proprietary assets. Nobody cares about these corporate parasites anyway, so f’em…

I think it’ll get harder and harder to find ‘pure’ distros. For a while you can maybe rely on something similar to Gnu linux-libre kernel that removes proprietary blobs, or BSD, or Gnu Hurd kernels etc, but linux-libre is already a pain if you need certain hw drivers, and eventually an anti-ai kernel will become crippled even worse, and it will become too hard to keep track of what kernels/parts of kernels is AI assisted code or not.

In the future, more and more new features will be from ai assisted code, and pretty soon, the anti-ai kernel will lose out to ai-assisted kernels in features, speed and soon stability (bug-finding etc).

The same goes for the rest of the distros that tries to avoid ai-assisted tools and code, and you/others will imho get completely swamped by this transformation. In fact, you will most certainly need an agent to keep constant track of this development.

I’m okay with AI, but I kind of feel for those trying to avoid it. Its hard enough just to avoid proprietary crap, and to me, avoiding ai-assists, is an even bigger mountain to climb. I do wish you all best of luck on that journey.

Ps. There ARE fully open models trained on fully libre with open libre data-sets, and for you - ethical data oriented - you could/should? probably accept that ‘non-pure’ situation, and use such an open llm to either maintain an ethical distro, or keep unethical ai-assist as low as you can get away with, for as long as you can.

I think your solution is a ‘declarative operating system’, where you just have a config file and the system builds it-self from that. You can decide if the system is locked to certain version if you like. I know of Guix and NixOs, but maybe others exists. Alternatively an external scripting solution.

You still need to backup valuable local user data oc.

Woa :-O Definitely avoiding such people and their nazty environment/ecosystem… Thanks for info…

I had a blindspot and didn’t really knew what CVE’s was. Digging a little:

https://docs.kernel.org/process/cve.html "Common Vulnerabilities and Exposure (CVE®) numbers were developed as an unambiguous way to identify, define, and catalog publicly disclosed security vulnerabilities.

This article talks about op’s chart specifically: https://www.howtouselinux.com/post/why-linux-kernel-cves-are-exploding-from-500-to-nearly-2000-per-release

Incredible that anyone wants to work for such Pscho corporations. They must be incredibly ignorant outside their job-function - I hope…

“stillOS takes the GNOME desktop and configures it like Windows out of the box.”

Seem to be the only thing that makes it ‘special’ ? Not sure that is unique really, but if it makes some users happy…

“MLB only checks your location at the moment a stream starts.”

This is/was what Pandora.com did, and the solution was to run a small proxy that directed the exact login url through Tor with a Merican endpoint while stream was normal, but you can just select an EU/UK endpoint instead.

I used a Tor proxy - privoxy, I think - from the openwrt package repo, but others exist, and for other platforms…

‘$1 HTML’

Why tf do US/western kids always think its okay to monetise everything they touch !? Just make something that are free because it doesn’t cost you anything, because it was fun, or because you want to share with others, ffs ! This is the same annoying ideological mindset as new game-programming kids that have setup ad-servings in their games before they have a gameplay, assets or any other working code.

You managed to enshittify your entire ‘fun’ project before it was even released. I think that is a horrible, childish, capitalist mindset/project, and I don’t think sharing/open-source people would want to support your selfish for-profit kid-project - ‘fun’ or not…

Not 100% on what ‘stack-based’ means here, but if ‘stacking’ = ‘tiering’, you could use a normal filesystem like bcachefs that have tiered storage ?

You can declare different tier devices for speed, availability or what you prefer, and have different compression, managed cache, auto-move hot data from cold storage, cold data to cold storage, and what not…

However, I’ve never actually tried it, so I’m likely exaggerating the possibilities. I think ZFS have tiering too, but maybe a filesystem specialist can chime in with some advice.

Alternatively, if it doesn’t bother you, it could be a great task for a sota ai, to help/create/setup a simple fuse fs for your needs.

Moving from one crappy corp to the next crappy corp won’t change anything…

…hm, knee jerked a little, but you are right, it is a slow and difficult route. Perhaps sometimes also the most thorough, surprising, or rewarding way ? not sure tbh…

“Create an account to read the full story.” - Jeebus a shitshow post. We can’t even get the text version without enshittification :-(

the developer began to suspect Gemini had been scraping Google Docs to train its AI.

It amazes me that anyone would trust any Capitalist entity/Corp. It doesn’t even matter if this one was more of a marketing stunt. I mean ffs, there’s no honor among thieves, and everything from any of these lying/scheming entities are purely selfish and will harm you, and other people…

Just for the record, Linux can do with less swap-space than the memory you have, also for hibernation. The system doesn’t write every byte to swap, and it uses compression. With 32gb I would choose a default swapsize of ~10gb max, but test it first as it depends on the specific content of your ram, and usage patterns oc. However, its an instant time-saver during boot.

Encroachment and control… These Corps does nothing without a purpose…

Thanks !
