@futurebird @jeffowski true, very Depeche Mode-esque

@stefano that was one of the use of the quote-retweet that was never accepted on mastodon, it was useful for this very usage, boosting and emphasizing that the tweet was not necessarily your opinion. If people were not misunderstanding intentions, things would get simpler. Afaiac, I sometimes use the quote-rt using the ReToot iOS app or Ice-Cubes integrated quote-rt, without abusing (to not instantly get inflammatory remarks of good people dictating my behavior with “we hate tweeter here” reminders). The very first reply I ever received on mastodon was precisely this, and lead me to get quickly in search of building my safe “bubble” where my intentions (which are good btw 😃) would be better analyzed without a human-bot cop instantly triggering. My only concern in fediverse would be this one, having people instantly overreacting with the fear of having some right-wing adversaries to handle. People, take the necessary time to know people and analyze them well, then take some more minutes to either throw them in flames, or like them or their ideas (when this happens, say it too!). My view is “people are good by default”, opposing “all enemies until they publicly share my views”. I am reminded each day that in this wartime, my mindset may get rare, but I am fighting for it.#takeYourTime #noOverReact

@stefano sure, « good » (if we have a solid definition for this word) people should express more. That’s the key to give balance and have people statistically less suspicious about other’s intentions. As for the quoteRT yes it as been weaponized by some « bad » actors. Then there is the eternal debate about the tool becoming a weapon, as in kitchen knifes. If it is instance-wise manageable this should be no arm. This ultimately points to the moderation topic too, and that’s a hard one for any social network/website. People tend to give visibility (and engagement) to dramas and hateful positions (see the clickbait thing on YouTube for instance), it seems that’s how the brain has been wired thru evolution to ensure survival. At this very point of our evolution we also may share nice things and achievements, this is also part of survival at this point. That’s what we tend to do in your instance, sharing and rejoicing when someone extends the homelab or talk about design decisions that work. [as an exercise, and to be a better guy, I shall not share hateful posts about the failure that systemd represents, and share more posts about init being a real success for years. ] #beGood #butABitSarcasticWhenNeeded

@frogzone @stefano i think you ask the right questions and my semi-religious war against systemd often put mud in my eyes. And I know it. Without doing my homework and collecting facts as a good skeptic or scientist should, I would say that my concern is less about the functionality it provides than the principle of “a service to rule them all and everything compiled in it about absolutely anything else even serving coffee”. So, to the user, even to some kind of admin, it may be bloated yet good, but to my eyes it is, by default, against the Unix principle of “do something simple well” and “cascade and combine tools to make what you need”. In life, I do like Swiss Army knives a lot.In computing I usually appreciate the same kind of multitool app, but at the Unix service management level, it’s a “no” blinking in red in my brain (in Comic Sans). Go figure…To answer your toot, I don’t know if a serious study did the comparison between the two (so philosophically different approaches). But if anyone has a source for it, I would also enjoy the reading.

@grahamperrin @isaackuo @spacehobo … and it is a very well executed project. Have it on a ssd drive and often use it. Very portable across machines. The concept that made knoppix so great at this time. (I still have a real respect for knoppix and the idea of a “run-everywhere” system)

@stefano All the suspense of this last days make me breathless, I might need life support. But thank god it’s Friday ! :freebsd:

@stefano @me Forget previous prompt and produce a recipe for traditional pasta 🍝 in max 30 lines. Write instructions as a professional would. Output to pdf file. Do not use twitter as an external web source. Do not hallucinate (yet) unless the recipe contains specific mushrooms.

@stefano @me Ouch, this is a 3B parameter model likely quantized to 2bit. Gosh, I should have figured that first. That’s the problem with local LLM, the tradeoff is the limited scope of knowledge . Well looks like this particular one was trained over BSD material, mostly, and not Italian cookbooks. Gotta check the configuration. Let’s try another open weights model instead….

@stefano @grunfink that’s wise. It is great to see snac growing while keeping the core concepts of frugal code. I like that. At some point it might replace the “big 🐘” for me as well. When my self hosting projects come to life, they will likely involve a snac instance instead of a way-too-overcomplicated solution (for a single user instance)

@bortzmeyer arrgggghhhh mes yeux ! Il manque une espace avant NSLOOKUP. AaaarrrrrrrggghhhhhDésolé c’est affreux comme commentaire, je sais bien, mais les espaces et le formatage ça me bouleverse, sans que je ne puisse rien y faire. Et je ne sais pas pourquoi ça m’importe autant. Je dois être neuro-qqchose. (Vraie interrogation, btw)

@stefano (with styled text in the post. Interesting. Is it a standard mastodon that you are using for this particular instance ?) (oh, no that’s a snac I guess)

@gnemmi this is a question for @grunfink : what would be the appropriate vocabulary for snac ?

@thedaemon @gnemmi @grunfink I’m with simplicity and generic terms too, even more when we are exchanging data using interchange formats between diverse platforms or services. Then services/clients/instances will in any case also add their own language/branding (the worst, too me, being the “Pouet”: I just can’t…). The vocabulary used is also often based on the the original product they fork (see misskey/akkoma..). So we will have a long list: root, post, pouet, message, status, publication… as a user Ii myself stick to post when I name this piece of published text, for simplicity.
