Same, in fact you can also went down in RPi models. Basically the more you know, the less you need, e.g. going from Plex to Kodi to minidlna…

Maybe but a brief look at statistics e.g. https://www.statista.com/statistics/254155/inbound-travel-from-western-europe-to-the-us/ and https://www.statista.com/statistics/311580/outbound-travel-from-the-us-to-europe-by-destination/ seems to show that in 2019 14 millions from Western Europe went to the United States while 12 millions from the US visited Western Europe. I’m not sure what’s the overlap between Western Europe and Southern Europe visitors but I’d argue the order of magnitude appears similar. Consequently and keeping in mind the population size, if travelers to and from have any significance to the understanding of the size of a place, then comprehension would be about equivalent.

Our rail system

Living in France and Belgium, I’d argue it’s not that bad. Is this the same “Our”?

Put your bike on the train for the last mile.

FWIW I did just try deepseek-r1:1.5b (the smallest model available via ollama today) and … not bad at all for 1.1Gb!

It’s still AI BS generating slop without “thinking” at all … but from the few tests I ran, it might be one of the “least worst” smaller model I tried.

There are plenty of ways and they are all safe. Don’t think of DeepSeek as anything more than a (extremely large, like bigger than a AAA) videogame. It does take resources, e.g disk space and RAM and GPU VRAM (if you have some) but you can use “just” the weights and thus the executable might come from another project, an open-source one that will not “phone home” (assuming that’s your worry).

I detail this kind of things and more in https://fabien.benetou.fr/Content/SelfHostingArtificialIntelligence but to be more pragmatic I’d recommend ollama which supports https://ollama.com/library/deepseek-r1

So, assuming you have a relatively entry level computer you can install ollama then ollama run deepseek-r1:1.5b and try.

Google was “cool” 2 decades ago… or before they combined both monetization (through ad) with power (through monopoly) they inexorably transformed EXACTLY to Microsoft the same way Facebook/Meta did the Google playbook.

Those huge tech corporations are pulled by the market to follow the same, sadly successful, strategy playbook and keep no uniqueness.

Google has been the new Microsoft for years already but through careful marketing consumers somehow believe they aren’t.

Indeed, so still a good advice, thanks for sharing

Arise, ye prisoners of starvation!

Well they didn’t “write” it, just formatted it, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Internationale

Wow look at Mr FancyPants over there, your server has a screen, I just got something (RPi) the size of a matchbox! /s

Interesting, thanks for sharing.

Take that back… /s

Takes literally minutes to try with 0 install and no risk for your data : https://distrosea.com/start/kubuntu-24.10-default/

I’m not saying you should enjoy it (even though I do, Debian stable with Plasma for a while now) but it’s so convenient to give any distribution with any desktop environment a try that IMHO it’s wrong not to spend few minutes and see what you might be missing.

Local only.

I’d then buy bacon to eat the Brussels sprout, they aren’t actually that bad, just stinky to boil.

If I were the dad I’d get tricked once… then keep the evil one and use it as weight comparison point for all others. I don’t need to unwrap any. The light ones, if there are any, are the good ones. I’d do that while looking in her eyes grinning knowing how long this little ordeal took for her to make.

How about an Immich integration, e.g. a button that says “Share via my PixedFed account” or even just the icon that would then post it on your behalf?

So… actually (put on fedora hat) it’s a GREAT way to learn!

What I do NOT recommend though is distro hopping with your data and your daily life setup. Namely the safest to learn is main system is stable, easy to setup and fix, you’re comfortable with even if you are not “proud” to claim it on Lemmy BUT the weird stuff you do on the side, it’s on a dedicate harddrive (ideally not even partition, just so that you can even mess that up) and you go LinuxFromScratch of whatever rock your boat knowing your data is safe and if you fuck up you can still go on with your day.

Neat, is there a way to share from Immich to Pixelfed?
