  • What do you think is the best (and cheapest) way to host a new nextcloud instance and website for my local scouts organisation?

    Jump

  • Yeah, I guess the plan would be (if we decide to use an old labtop) to have a similar backup system to my home server, so one daily incremental backup with something like borgbackup to a newly bought external hard drive and automated updates using watchtower (I heard major nextcloud upgrades can be tricky though, so I an not shure if it would be a good idea to automate those). I guess it would still suck if the laptop unexpectedly failed and we would have to scramble to find new hardware though, how long would you expect an old laptop to last as a server?

    Jump

  • Yeah, I totally get what you mean, I am kind of expecting that aswell, but at least I know, that other scouts groups in the area already have a nextcloud and it is actively beeing used, so I have some hopes in that regard. But yeah, getting them to use something like Matrix is probably pretty unrealistic.

  • What are some (legal) torrents I can seed that help a good cause?

    Jump

  • Yeah, it's like that for some torrents, but some also work fine. And the ones that don't work, you can revive by manually downloading the zip file from their servers, I guess.

  • as a linux user, i find this humorus

  • At least for VR stuff, I find Linux to work pretty well with ALVR Streamer, which is basically an open source version of Virtual Desktop.

    For anticheat, there are if course no real good solutions yet, for that, we just need better market share to pressure game developers.

  • Should we create a new banner for this community?

    Jump

  • Yeah, that would kind of be my plan: To ask in one post for submissions, filter out the valid ones and then let the community vote on only the valid ones. I hope, that the mods will accept the results though, for that to work, we need big support from the community, so that I have a convincing argument

  • OK, not to be runde or anything, but why is your banner AI generated

  • How would you know that?

  • Well, of course everyone that disagrees with these people is a bot, lol

  • Nope, you can't train a good diffusion model from scratch with just a few thousand images, that is just delusion (I am open for examples though). Adobe Firefly is a black box, so we can't verify their claims, obviously they wouldn't admit, if they broke copyright to train their models. We do however have strong evidence, that google, openai and stability AI used tons of images, which they had no licence to use. Also, I still doubt that all of the people, who sold on Adobe Stock either knew, what their photos are gonna be used for or explicitly wanted that or just had to accept it to be able to sell their work.

    Great counterargument to my first argument by the way 👏

  • Well, but you are not of an opposing ideology, your sub is called "ask Lemmy", not "ask AI obsessed people", so your definition doesn't even make sense. I honestly don't understand why you people insist on painting me in such a negative light, just because I am new. That is called bullying by the way. I didn't even intend this thread to blow up in such a way, I guess a lot of people seem to care.

  • You know that the painter behind a stary night is long dead and this work is public domain, right?

    Jump

  • It's not about anyone getting paid, it's about affording basic respect and empathy to people and their work. Using AI sends a certain message of 'I don't care about your consent or opinion towards me using your art", and I don't think, that this is a good thing for anyone.

    Jump

  • Well, obviusly I care. I joined Lenny today, yes. I joined this sub and was immediately a bit disgusted by the banner. So I made a post about it. Why do you care if I care then?

  • OK, not to be runde or anything, but why is your banner AI generated

    Jump

  • Well, you didn't even make it or anyone, an AI made it. Kindness towards artists and not kindness towards people using their art without consent.

  • Yes it does, for the reasons I mentioned

  • Uhm, yeah... That was the whole point, I was making.

    Jump

  • Yeah, maybey it would be a good idea to have a new community vote. Can I just start that or do I have to ask the mods or something? I am pretty new to Lemmy, so I am not really shure how this works.

  • Some text-based games to play at work?

    Jump

  • I think it looks cool to be honest, why not?

  • OK, not to be runde or anything, but why is your banner AI generated

    Jump

  • Well, I guess you don't have to. I just think it's a bit depressing and also pretty disrespectful to artists (I think, I laid out pretty clearly, why I think that). Now, if you don't care about any of that, I can't stop you, I guess, this was just meant to be a friendly proposal.
