Honestly not a bad idea, and with the increasing regulations to save the children this would show that the fediverse is making an effort. We may not be highly scrutinized at our current levels, but I don’t doubt that eventually we will be

Right, but you could have just made one yourself. They’re not hard to maintain. It’s just a pile of yaml

God I’m getting sick of the repetitive posts saying the same thing. I’m a human being. I run an instance. I am personally liable for whatever crap my users post. Damn right I’m not going to allow Tor or vpns, and my instance will absolutely take down something if it could land me in trouble. I’m not going to have the feds bust down my door because someone wants to make a bonkers statement.

That’s the joy of federation. Anyone can go and spin up their own instance. There are cloud providers that have a single click option to set one up for you. Go forth OP, be the privacy focused VPN tor instance. You take the personal responsibility on yourself and then come back here and post about it.

I remember reading something from a sound editor for movies and TV. Essentially no director wants to halt production and re-do a scene because the audio is bad. It’s pretty hard to redo a scene if the camera didn’t get a good shot, it’s even harder if the camera was good but the audio was off. Most directors will just say “Just fix it in post”.

But, there aren’t really enhancements for audio. A bad segment of audio is always bad. You can’t just amplify the hell out of it and have it sound good. So the lower the budget the movie, the more costly it is to redo a shot, and the more likely they’ll tell the sound guys that they’ll have to deal with it.

Math class taught me to be precise I should always say “1 and 32 hundredths Megabytes”

Yup, can confirm. Go into it knowing what you would like it to be, and have a list of tlds you are okay with, plan to purchase once and only once. I like namecheap personally.

Ah okay, I think that makes sense. Thanks for your input! I’ll give it a whirl

That’s a great start! A lot of it depends on OpenAI, is there any guide you know of that lets me run completely locally? I use TabbyAPI for most of my inference, and happy to run anything else for training

I understand conceptually how these work, but I have a hard time of how to get started . I have the model, I know embeddings exist and what they are, and rags, and vector dbs, and then I have my SQL DB. I just don’t know what the steps are.

Do you have any guides you recommend?

Same thing with me and riding my bike on gravel roads. You can get pretty far on those if you have a few hours and nothing to do. Same rough distance, figured why not go see my friend…

Sounds like it may be time for some creative licensing

Good, then good use case. I see too many people trying to browse all and block everything, and that’s not a very fun Lemmy experience

Why not just browse subscribed?

That’s fair, I think we’re both right then

Marriage is more than just “k well bye”. I didn’t see anything in there about counseling or trying to repair the relationship. I recommend trying something over nothing.

I always think about the Chunnel, how easy it is to travel between London and Paris when before it would have been boats.

There is not. I tried to create one just for testing stuff a while back and the blocked me and my IP. They wanted to see my ID.

Nope, not banned, chose to leave. Realized most of my anxiety and fear were due to Reddit’s algorithm amping up my issues.

Was banned from a couple of subs for promoting Lemmy though.

hoo boy, okay, let’s break this down. Since you call her a girl I’m going to assume you’re fairly new to this and I’m not talking to someone who is say, over 30 or something.

1. You don’t love her. You have a crush on her. Love is something that grows over time after already being in a relationship. Girls know this. If you tell her you love her, she’s going to freak out. Real life ain’t the movies, the movies have some romantic saying or gesture that says I love you. She’s gonna run for the hills if you use the four letter word on her.

2. If you do it in person, you have a solid minimum 50/50 shot. You do it on snapchat, that drops to maybe 10/90. No matter what you write, it’s going to come off as creepy. Don’t want to believe me? Fine by me, it’s your life - but I’ve been there, and I’ve done that exact thing. It’s gonna be weird, you’re going to stare at your phone for 2 hours. You have no idea what she’s doing when she replies, she may be with her family, she may be go-karting, and you just dropped that on her notification. It’s going to be a notification that sits there, she’s going to be at a movie or something, check it, and be like “wtf”. Digging your own grave if you want to.

3. Be freaking casual my man. Remember, it’s a crush. Your life will be fine if she says no. There are many many other women out there. I know, you’re centered completely around her, and I’ve been there you’ve probably dreamed up your perfect life. Full stop, throw that all out. You’re in love with you’re imagination of her, the idea of dating her. It’s not real. She’s not that dream girl. She’s a real life human breathing woman who has her own thoughts and opinions about you. You find time, you walk up, be casual, ask her if she’s heard about that new movie everyone is talking about. What does she think of it? What about that new show? Ha that’s awesome. Hey, maybe sometime, would you like to go see it with me? That’s it, that’s all it is.

4. Nobody fell in love without being a little brave. If you’re too afraid to do it in person, you’re not ready to do it. What do you think you’re going to say to her in person if she does say yes? Welcome to the game friend, this is your time to be brave. You want her? She’s right there, go up and ask her. We’ve all done it, we all know the feelings, the stomach turning, the sweats - but fact of the matter is that you have to take the leap of faith. If it’s a no, it’s a no. You’re still in the game, it will happen, and we’ve all been through it - but when it’s a yes it’s a perfect moment. I’ve been rejected many times over my life, every one of them stings. But when it’s a yes, well, it’s a wonderful feeling. There are 2 moments in a person’s life that will last an eternity. The first one is asking someone out. The second is asking them to marry you.

There you go, that’s my advice. As a guy who was probably in your shoes, who made a lot of mistakes, I give you my wisdom over the ages. From your other comments it sounds like you’re going to yolo it and just word vomit something into snapchat, which I guess hey, you do you. I hope you at least think about some of this though.
