  • Nah, I think we just need a dialog box - could be like osx - “are you sure you want to allow the plugin that you said you wanted to use? It was built by: you, not signed by Mozilla.” Maybe put a “You have unsigned plugins running” tool tip - that gets displayed at startup or every 8 hours.

    that won’t help to warn the largest part of the target audience, those who were trained by big tech to dismiss those dialogs by reflex without reading a word in it


  • You can’t just do “ollama run” and expect good performance, as the local LLM scene is finicky and highly experimental. You have to compile forks and PRs, learn about sampling and chat formatting, perplexity and KL divergence, about quantization and MoEs and benchmarking. Everything is moving too fast, and is too performance sensitive, to make it that easy, unfortunately.

    how do you have the time to figure all these out and keep being up to date? do you do this at work?






  • I think that’s a big project for a first one, and unless things changed its configuration is not documented too well.

    both because of the complexity, and because of security risks, it would be better to start with something local, like a home assistant, or a forgejo/gitea, a jellyfin, things like that. don’t expose them to the internet directly, that’s risky, sometimes they have security bugs. rather if you want remote access, set up a wireguard VPN server. It’s simpler than it sounds






  • I was wondering why do I only see a single post and no comments for that user, but it looks they were banned on my instance.

    since I came from reddit in the first wave, I have read others observations multiple times that lemmy.world has bad moderation, in several ways, and not only because they don’t have the capacity for their large server but some other reasons.
    you said you had enough for now, but if you come back later, try an account on my instance, slrpnk.net or some others like these that are smaller but not too small. maybe you would like it more. I don’t say lemmy.world was a bad choice, I think still better than reddit in recent years, but you get the idea.
    but that this user you linked has been banned for almost 2 years by now on my instance makes it look like that it’s indeed moderated better.

    instances have a lot of moderation power, to make the experience with them better or worse, by choosing which users or sometimes complete instances to ban, so that’s a reason other instances could feel different

    (and then there’s the regular examples like this, which are not slop but are heavily disputed/recontextualized by the top comment. Correction highly upvoted, yet the OP itself is still doing well))

    what was the post? I can’t load it now, maybe it was deleted.

    honestly the thing I hate the most about lemmy is that deleted posts just give an error that’s more generic than anything microsoft windows could show, and that deleted posts make all the comments inaccessible too.
