Copyparty is good for me, very basic but both highly customizable and quick to setup with sane defaults.

The irony of this meme is what really makes it hilarious

Idk of any but I’m interested, commenting to add traffic 👍

It’s funny when you just read the numbers and it’s like the top pick for a US child is to be 29

Firstly, it depends on how illegal it is. Is it illegal like you shouldn’t do it and we will try to block you? Or is it illegal like if we catch you do it, you can get arrested or worse?

Scenario A:

• just try shit out, try different VPNs. Some of them provide certain obfuscation. You can see if they work. If they don’t work, you’ve got some more dedicated VPNs such as Tor with all kinds of Tor bridges (obfs4, snowflake, etc) Or psiphon

Scenario B:

• The risk is real and you might consider not doing it at all, but if you do, obfs4 is the only thing I can recommend, Psiphon is easily detectable (it’s just good at bypassing blocks)

Buying new: Basically all of the integrated memory units like macs and amd’s new AI chips, after that any modern (last 5 years) gpu while focusing only on vram (currently nvidia is more properly supported in SOME tools)

Buying second hand: not likely to find any of the integrated memory stuff, so any GPU from the last decade that is still officially supported and focusing on vram.

8gb is enough to run basic small models, 20+ for pretty capable 20-30b models, 50+ for the 70b ones and 100-200+ for full sized models.

These are rough estimates, do your own research as well.

For the most part with LLMs for a single user you really only care about VRAM and storage speed(ssd) Any GPU will perform faster than you can read for anything that fully fits on it’s VRAM, so the GPU only matters if you intend on running large models at extreme speeds (for automation tasks, etc) And the storage is a bottleneck at model load, so depending on your needs it might not be that big of an issue for you, but for example with a 30gb model you can expect to wait 2-10 minutes for it to load into the vram from an HDD, about 1 minute with a sata SSD, and about 4-30 seconds with an NVMe.

You can sniff the network and see if the TV is connecting anywhere.

It’s very very unlikely that your TV and your device connected to it both support and enable ethernet over HDMI by default. But if you are unsure you can test it by connecting and seeing if the TV is getting a connection.

Personally I also opened my TV and disconnected the wifi card since in theory the TV could also just try to connect to any open wifi in the area without me knowing, but to each their own threat model.

Anything exposed to the internet gets a daily / weekly update, depending on how exposed it is, how stable the updates are and how critical a breach would be. For example nginx would be a daily update.

Anything behind a vpn gets a more random update schedule mostly based on when I feel like it (probably around once a month or every other month)

Tip, look at second hand sites/fb marketplace (i know 😒) you can find great deals.

Ollama + open webui + tailscale/netbird

Open webui provides a fully functional docker with ollama, so just find the section that applies to you (amd, nvidia, etc) https://github.com/open-webui/open-webui?tab=readme-ov-file#quick-start-with-docker-

And on that host install netbird or Tailscale, install the same on your phone, in tailscale you need to enable magicdns but in netbird I think it provides dns by default.

Once the docker is running and both your server and phone are connected to the vpn (netbird or tailscale) you just type the dns of your server in your phone’s browser (in netbird it would be “yourserver.netbird.cloud” and in tailscale it would be “yourserver.yourtsnet.ts.net”)

Just one time I want someone to write a love letter to some old technology and for it to just be an actual love letter and just like some psycho who is literally in love with some protocol and they’re like talking about how hot the protocol is and how they wish they could just fuck it. Is that too much to ask?
