And this is why you password protect your ssh keys

Do you prefer digital or physical books? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml
[–] mrwiggles@prime8s.xyz 2 points 2 years ago

For the books I love and want to read over and over, physical. For the books I want to read once and maybe reference from time to time, digital all the way. My e-reader makes digital books a breeze to read, and I'm actually at the point where it's 5GB of storage isn't enough for my library.

Essentially, you cut the pdf/text file up into chunks, process it to embeddings, then ask the AI questions and it responds with the relevant segments of the book

Hook it up to Langchain with Python and ask a book questions.

As someone in their 30's who didn't take care of my teeth for a while, I'm going to have to second this recommendation. It will save you a lot of grief down the road.

What are some "cool" "tricks" to "teach your cat? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml
[–] mrwiggles@prime8s.xyz 2 points 2 years ago

Its thought that dogs can tell the passage of time through scent. I'd be surprised if cats didn't do something similar

Local repository for Linux packages in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world
[–] mrwiggles@prime8s.xyz 1 points 2 years ago

This is what I use Foreman and Katello for. Package mirror with x versions synced automatically with all my machines subscribed. Or it would be, if I ever got around to actually setting the damn thing up. I have a debian package repo and a few things subscribed, but I'd like to add more.

Looking for shared storage with access without loging in in c/selfhosted@lemmy.world
[–] mrwiggles@prime8s.xyz 6 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I think your best bet in this case is google drive. Most people have a google account, and if they don't, I believe it's possible to set it up in a way that it will let them upload anyway. I don't think you're getting out of the account requirement, outside of you setting up an anonymous ftp server in a vps or something.

This is the result of the death of isps as net-neutral carriers.

This seems like a thing that could be very useful in learning to recognize the instructions!

Awesome game. I don't know much about little-endian arm 32bit assembly, but this would be a good tool to learn on!

Google says AI systems should be able to mine publishers’ work unless companies opt out, turning copyright law on its head in c/technology@beehaw.org
[–] mrwiggles@prime8s.xyz 1 points 2 years ago

Except, what it produces is very similar or identical to some copyrighted works, licensed under the LGPL, like in this case. You don't have to copy a whole program to plagiarize someone

Creepy behavior by Microsoft. I thought this was going to be to prevent "abuse" in some way. Nope, they just sharpen the pics up with ai or something?

Microsoft’s Azure portal down following new claims of DDoS attacks (www.bleepingcomputer.com)
 

Apparently linked to a hacktivist in Sudan, although some think they're actually Russian? Can't say either would surprise me very much. Sucks for Azure admins though.
