Just a stranger trying things.
infomaniak is the largest swiss cloud provider, they have multiple services which are domain related (purchase and management), cloud computing and more. They have a good reputation. They also have a swiss cloud certificated meaning they are able to host data in Switzerland and manage it from Switzerland. If you trust Switzerland for privacy, I think by extension you can trust them.
Thanks for the follow up. I wish I could afford multiple TB of nvmes but that is unfortunately out of my budget, but it would definitely be better for latency, notice and power draw. This time I will have to stick to HDDs, but I’ll keep looking :) Enjoy your setup!
Thanks! I love that case, that’s what I use for my main server. In this case I was interested in a prebuilt, which may be easier to find and with all main components included and thus possibly cheaper. I updated my main point as I understand it may not have been obvious.
Thank you for taking the time to answer. Indeed, the title is a simplification, but I was hoping that the body of the text would highlight that it does not have to be a literal SFF but just something on the smaller side.
It’s so stupid of the developer to claim that gender neutrality is political. It really is not. It’s just about equally respecting everyone. I’m probably preaching to the choir though.
I think that’s what we see with apple silicon, right?
I don’t know if the content is of particular interest to everyone, but I did want to follow the topic as it was a source of disagreement between FUTO and Rossman and I wanted to see whether they had come to terms.
Do you have a copy of the now deleted/removed video, or are you referring to a videoviseo which is now publicly available? If it is now publicly available, is it at the same link as my edited original post or something else? Thanks!
Perhaps it would be worth checking with the !homelab@lemmy.ml community and see if they have any advice? They are more likely to have dealt with such situations, by nature.
I’m trying to open your link but I get a Lemmy page saying this link does not exist. Is it a voyager app thing?
There is a way to place the secret file (corresponding to the password) on a dedicated USB stick and have a script attempt to Mount it at boot to unlock the partition. If the USB stick is not found, it will revert to the password prompt. Perhaps this is the best of both?
Make sure not to leave the USB stick plugged in, but rather only take it and and plug it in to boot then safely store it once booted, otherwise you are probably defeating the purpose of having an encrypted partition to begin with.
I’ll add a link to read more about it shortly.
Edit: here is one example to set it up (including to auto-decrypt ZFS) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7xOLxCwdi-I
Well yes, but also no.
Whenever you search for a solution to your problem, it stems from the realization that something is a problem. But sometimes, you have a thing which has been done for a longtime, it was a problem with no solution and you’ve had to accept that. How would you determine one day that things can be done differently and better without constantly reevaluating everything? It’s not realistic.
In my view, it is a perfectly reasonable question to ask “what problem does waydroid solve?” To figure out if you have that issue and you didn’t know of this solution.
Sorry, just my 2 cents.
You’re right, but the model is also not quantized so is likely to be in 16bit floats. If you quantize it you can get substantially smaller models which run faster though may be somewhat less accurate.
Knowing that the 4 bit quantized 8x7B model gets downscaled to 4.1GB, this might be roughly 3 times larger? So maybe 12GB? Let’s see.
Edit: sorry those numbers were for Mistral 7B, not mixtral. For Mixtral, the quantized model size is 26GB (4 bits), so triple that would be roughly 78 GB. Luckily, being an MoE, not all of it has to be loaded simultaneously to the GPU.
From what I recall, it only uses 13B parameters at once, so if we compare that to codellama 13B, quantized to 4 bits, that is 7.4GB, so triple that would be 22GB, so would require a 24GB GPU. Someone double check if I misunderstood something.
24GB GPUs include the AMD 7900 XTX and the nvidia RTX 4090 (Ti), non-mobile.
Tuens out after the switch back to windows which I linked to in another reply, they actually switched back to Linux in 2020!
This really depends on adequate training. And it’s a shame this training does not start in school. Microsoft and Google have a very strong hold in schools and that conditions people to stick with what is familiar :(
That was apparently Munich. And even with a promised 90% discount (of which I don’t know the terms), they stayed away from Microsoft. But recently they switched back anyway :(
I hope they do not try to save that money but rather take the opportunity to invest some of it into the open source ecosystem that are now relying on.
If you login, why would it matter? You are logged in, they have identified you.
Edit: sure they may not know exactly where you are, but they know you are you and can keep aggregating data on you as you browse Facebook at least, if not more?
It’s pretty new but if you are interested in degoogling and looking for ways to use android auto, there is apparently a working solution with GrapheneOS but I have not tested so can not verify it.

Edit: typo
Can you elaborate on why it is a bad security practice? It’s the first time I’m reading about it and I’d like to read more about it. Thanks!
How surprising, I did not see anything about mistral small on HN so I tried it out and it seems pretty good for its size! Thanks for sharing!
