It really amazes me that people don’t understand this when governments have done it time and time again but hey ho, hopefully I’m old enough that I might at least die before the worst hits because clearly people are to ignorant to do anything to stop it! 😳

And what do you do when its a requirement to buy food, submit tax returns, get healthcare?

This is the problem people don’t understand. We have the same issue now in the UK. People think a voluntary system is easy ro just ignore until everything you rely and need forces you to starve or submit.

And its not going to stop at just age verification, it’ll continue until all you get to enjoy is maybe a loaf of bread, and some pond water! 🤦‍♂️

How do i get in on this?

I feel if they marketed AI better they’d get far more subscribers. Right now they seem to be focused on ripping off businesses which seems very short sighted.

I’ll offer all my marketing insights for just 10% of all new subscribers under my marketing campaign! 😎

Its not hard to see what they’re doing…

First they add negative comments, then follow up with a positive post to seem like they’re being Impartial!

It’d be interesting to see how often the negative comments are put before the positive comments though because i’d guess it’s a lot higher than the reverse!

I’m also in the PI 4 group. Its worth watching ebay, etc for people selling pi clusters. I picked up my 8 node 4GB pi cluster fairly cheap.

Also if you’re learning and find yourself struggling with yaml files, I found Claude helped a lot to get running. Create the file, dump it into Claude and let it re-output the file. Give it the error log helps if it gets stuck.

Also if you explain your cluster setup, I built mine with Talos Linux so setup VIP, etc and it’s pretty good at generating a working setup.

I’m not a huge fan of AI but I struggled with yaml formatting so it might suck for a lot of stuff but formatting stuff properly is great… that and scanning logs for errors! 😎

I bought the Beelink SER9 MAX, mainly because it’s the only one I saw with 64GB Ram.

It came with windows, but binned that for debian running Ollama and openclaw pretty well. I looked at others but according to Claude, the A1 Pro that i looked at only really supports Windows and I emailed minisforum who confirmed it so kinda went off there PC’s.

I’m not aiming for speed though, i’m aiming for learning but the only issue i’ve run into a few times is:

⚠️ Something went wrong while processing your request. Please try again, or use /new to start a fresh session.

But running /compact seems to fix it. I’d love a few more beelink’s to run a cluster though.

Edit: Also I’m also messing with openclaw and openclaw can’t seem to spawn agents to do tasks. Not sure if thats hardware related or config issue. 🤷‍♂️

I don’t really have much to backup tbh, what I do have is backed up to another drive but unfortunately hosting that offsite because I don’t have friends, lol.

If you aren’t running it yourself, you’ll always be held hostage by toxic companies!

Time and time again, from account closures to account locking… if you value anything, you should really look at self hosting it. Yes it’s a learning curve, but now is actually a good time because you have claude to help, but don’t expect that to last!

I am and will only ever use the free tier of claude but even that is actually pretty useful. Just don’t reuse the same chat, create new ones, delete ones no longer needed and you rarely hit the usage limits.

I’ve used claude to get my own AI server running on a low power beelink PC and while i’m still learning, it runs pretty well so Imcan now bounce between my own AI, to claude for the few issues I can’t solve.

Where did this ‘never wash your jeans!’ mentality come from?

The same place all religious and other propaganda comes from. Plus it’s useful to spot the gullible and easily led people so you can avoid them to save your sanity!

You can now add elements on tablet by long-pressing on an empty space

I’m guessing unless you’re on an iPad?

I’ll try later on the dell 7210 but sadly Apple has screwed up so many things with touch so i’m not surprised when stuff no longer “just works” on Apple!😞🤦‍♂️

Thanks for the quick changes though. I did seem to get a ‘dot’ to show up by tapping and holding but haven’t managed to reproduce how I actually did it and it wouldn’t move when dragging things around so 🤷‍♂️ lol

Sounds good and put a whatsit in for an enhancement.

I don’t pay much attention to shithub so if you want someone to test anything out it’ll probably be easier to shout on here.

Thats cool, I don’t care much for portrait mode tbh, and was just curious if i was missing something.

Would it not be easier just to have an ‘add element’ button that has options for adding a component? Moving stuff around works fine. I’m not even fussed about linking stuff. Just looking for something to visualise the various docker services because i forget whats running on what PI, lol.

Hmm, am I missing something or does it not work on tablets?

Demo looks kinda cool but can’t seem to add anything to the existing projects. 😞

I wasn’t a huge discord use but I just removed all the channels before deleting the app on every device.

Not going to make a huge difference but if everyone does it, maybe it will!

I would be curious to know how e-commerce would change though as without ads people would likely gravitate to the big box stores

Do they need to advertise? At the moment we still have search engines, although not for long, but remove the marketing crap and companies can go back to fighting over offering the best prices/services.

I rarely see ads and yet I can still manage to buy the products I want, I just don’t buy much branded crap because it’s overpriced and has been enshitified by greed. People just need to stop buying into marketing bs and go back to buying what you need!

Sadly everything is designed to manipulate the gullible so I doubt there’ll be any meaningful change in my lifetime since it seems to be 60-70% of the population that falls under the gullible tag.

I mean, the rich are benefiting from all the ad spending which is all that matters! /s

People really need to remember that you’re paying for the ads regardless of if you see them. The only people who lose out are those who show the ads and giving the amount of websites these days that are solely built around showing ads, I really have no sympathy for them.

The bigger question no-one seems to ask is, how much cheaper would products be if they weren’t spending trillions on ads in the first place?

I can’t comment on ZimaOS but I do use CasaOS to manage docker and it saves a lot of hassle for most things. Just being able to click the 3 dots and check for updates is worth it.

The only issue I have with CasaOS is that it doesn’t have support for env files. Maybe ZimaOS fixed that. Next week I should have a HP gen9 arriving to replace my dying gen8 and looking at trying proxmox on that so might have to test ZimaOS.

Still really want to get into kubernetes but trying to get a useful tutorial that works and isn’t a stupid video thats hard to follow is annoyny.

I have multiple PI’s waiting for a decent ‘non video’ PI kubernetes tutorial but its hard to find anything beyond setting up a cluster and running hello world or aren’t out of date and no longer work. I already have a 12 pi bitnami cluster but its a pain to manage.

Something showing how to run things like JellyFin with network share for media would cover much of what is needed for Self Hosting.

Bonus points for things like TalosOS would be cool but then it seems net booting TalosOS is difficult because you needed a specific serial thats only easily viewable in Omni right now so still needs SD cards/SSD/NVME hats so increases costs significantly.

I’ve been trying to get a tutorial done myself but keep hitting issues with configs not working as expected. sigh

Ooh, does anyone know of something like this which can show 3 pages at once?

Thinking of replacing the music app on an old mac mini and using a hdmi stick/pi to display it instead.

Its also not free lol

I’m broke and no way am I paying for something to help me not be broke. It just always confuses me how everything these days is over thought rather than K.I.S.S.

I think I belong in some other universe! 😞
