I’m only tinkering with the 8B variant, so speed is alright. I hadn’t noticed yet. But yes, seems English to German leads to weird results. German to English seems to be fine, though. At least for the 2 texts I put in.

I’m running the 8B version with KoboldCPP and pretty much the default settings of the Min-P sampler. That tends to work very well with almost all other models and I’m not aware of any specific recommendations for Apertus…

Did someone try it? What’s your experience?

I think I like it. But, I’m having massive issues with it becoming very repetetive after a while. And I’m not sure if it’s the model or my sampler settings.

Yes. I think several clients have open feature requests. The Stalwart documentation has a list of projects. There is one command line client as of now. But I’m not switching to a cli mail client or proprietary software, so I’ve postponed it. We’ll see where this is going.

I welcome these modernization attempts. Though in theory I’d love to see someone revamp email in its entirety, add encryption, signatures, chat and crack down on spam and phishing. Not sure if that’s ever going to happen, but that’d be great, too.

Yes. And I feel a technical solution like watermarking would make things so much easier… We could just decide whether we want to read AI or human text.

Unfortunately JMAP isn’t supported (yet) by a lot of email clients. I don’t think there’s a good open-source email suite for computers available… But I’ve tried Stalwart as well and it’s really sleek and seems to come with good defaults.

Lol. I think FIFA demand a pile of money from people integrating the live streams into their platforms. We should start the fundraiser soon.

And I think I’m going to boycott the world cup 2026, so make this the women’s world cup in 2027.

Even if this is the piracy community… I think this holds true in several aspects of life. Availability of information, Freedom of speech, political freedom, privacy… Unless we fight for freedom, it might just go away.

I don’t think it’s allowed to request or directly recommend or link to pirated content in this community. Can’t be too specific. See the rules in the sidebar.

Yes. And I’ve seen people do really weird (and worse) stuff, like re-post questions. And if you’re unaware of that, you’re bound to take 10mins out of your day to answer the product or Linux or life question and later find out you were ripped off. At least that’s how it feels to me if people fabricate that kind of activity. And it kills the mood to write comments for a while.

Alright. And for your information, the Peertube function is a bit broken. I think the Peertube developers did their best. But Youtube has a lot of datacenter IP address ranges blocked. And they do rate-limiting and force people to sign in after downloading a few videos. Plus yt-dlp (which it relies upon) and Youtube are playing this cat and mouse game… So it’s disabled on most instances because it doesn’t really work. I was able to make it work on my instance, but I had to jump through several hoops. Configure a SOCKS proxy and tunnel it over my home, residential internet connection. And I think I transferred my login cookies because some videos would be age restricted.

PeerTube has that built in. You can set up a channel and have it import or mirror a Youtube channel. For Lemmy there’s several bots and scripts. As other people said that’s what lemmit.online is about.

Be a bit careful when rolling this out. Several people don’t like it. They’ve left Reddit for a reason and this is drowning them in bot activity. And usually these posts are low engagement, Reddit users can’t see the comments, so you’re not getting a lot of answers. I think it’s good practice how we here have separated that to dedicated instances, so users can just have genuine conversations everywhere else.

Mostly I can’t be bothered, or Roblox won’t run, or some stereotypes about Linux being difficult.

Thanks! Learned something today. Last time I opened port 53 to the public it didn’t take long and I was sending out several Megabits per second in DNS traffic. Constantly. Mostly querying the same few things. But I guess I had it the wrong way round and that wasn’t the target. Or I’ve seen a different attack type… Guess I can now try again with the new knowledge.

Seems knot-dns has DNSSEC turned on per default. But what’s all the IP addresses in the config for, if not to offer recursive lookup? That enables an amplification attack. I think they’ll do lookups to put strain on other servers, not necessarily your zones.

By the way, when self-hosting open DNS resolvers, add some security measures and monitoring or your shiny new server will mostly deliver DNS amplification attacks to people after a few weeks. That seems to be missing in the config here.

Thanks. I still don’t get it. But I guess that’s alright.

Can someone explain the joke to me?

Yes. I mean for most stuff we probably don’t need a complicated debate on definitions. I think we could do it for most desktop apps without further questions, like a browser, instant messenger, camera app, video editor, games, 3d printer slicer… They could all just do it and also not get permissions on the entire home directory right away. And we also have the groundworks for it. Linux has cgroups, thread isolation… permissions to use the webcam. There’s just the stuff in the middle missing and then we can’t build on any programming interfaces with the desktop apps.

Did it solve these issues with delivering Matrix instant messenger notifications and emails right away? And what’s the internet browsing and occasional social media doomscrolling experience? I don’t think the Librem5 hardware is substantially faster than my Pinephone? So I suppose it’s similar to mine with a Firefox which is rudimentarily optimized for touch but then the 3GB of RAM and slow processor make it somewhat not nice to use? Can you listen to a podcast via standard bluetooth headphones and there’s still some juice in the battery after 90mins? I’d love to try it. Especially if they solved those annoying issues. But seems the PureOS Pinephone ports have all been abandoned a few years ago…
