SmokeyDope@lemmy.worldto Cybersecurity@sh.itjust.works•Critical Meshtastic Flaw Allows Attackers to Decrypt Private MessagesEnglish6·7 天前The point in time after the first qbit based supercomputers transitioned from theoretical abstraction to physical proven reality. Thus opening up the can-of-worms of feasabily cracking classical cryptographic encryptions like an egg within human acceptable time frames instead of longer-than-the-universes-lifespan timeframes… Thanks, superposition probability based parallel computations.
Thank you for deciding to engage with our community here! You’re in good company.
Kobold just released a bunch of tools for quant making you may want to check out.
I have not made my own quants. I usually just find whatever imatrix gguf bartowlski or the other top makers on HF release.
I too am in the process of upgrading my homelab and opening up my model engine as a semi public service. The biggest performance gains ive found are using CUDA and loading everything in vram. So far just been working with my old nvidia 1070ti 8gb card.
Havent tried vllm engine just kobold. I hear good things about vllm it will be something to look into sometime. I’m happy and comfortable with my model engine system as it got everything setup just the way I want is but I’m always open to performance optimization.
If you havent already try running vllm with its CPU nicencess set to highest priority. If vllm can use flash attention try that too.
I’m just enough of a computer nerd to get the gist of technical things and set everything up software/networking side. Bought a domain name, set up a web server and hardened it. Kobolds webui didnt come with https SSL/TLS cert handling so I needed to get a reverse proxy working to get the connection properly encrypted.
I am really passionate about this even though so much of the technical nitty gritty under the hood behind models goes over my head. I was inspired enough to buy a p100 Tesla 16gb and try shoving it into an old gaming desktop which is my current homelab project. I dont have a lot of money so this was months of saving for the used server class GPU and the PSU to run it + the 1070ti 8gb I have later.
The PC/server building hardware side scares me but I’m working on it. I’m not used to swapping parts out at all. when I tried to build my own PC a decade ago it didnt last long before something blew so there’s a bit of residual trauma there. I’m worried about things not fit right in the case, or destroying something or the the card not working and it all.
Those are unhealthy worries when I’m trying to apply myself to this cutting edge stuff. I’m really trying to work past that anxiety and just try my best to install the stupid GPU. I figure if I fail I fail thats life it will be a learning experience either way.
I want to document the upgrade process journey on my new self hosted site. I also want to open my kobold service to public use by fellow hobbyist. I’m not quite confident in sharing my domain on the public web though just yet I’m still cooking.
SmokeyDope@lemmy.worldOPto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Whats a better name for 'graphics cards' that describes the kind of computational work it doesEnglish4·8 天前Coincidentally the same name as my geometry themed experimental grunge rock band
The first thought I had was this same scenario but all grown up. Imagine two fully grown 700 lb bovines crammed in your kitchen staring down your dishes lol theyre all cute until they become living flesh tanks then they’re still cute but hella bulky and slightly intimidating

SmokeyDope@lemmy.worldto Antique Memes Roadshow@lemmy.world•Proto-meme. So old it spread by print and cats didn't rule the internet.English3·8 天前Being an alternate protocol nerd is a trip. Most people have no clue what a gopher/Gemini/spartan/finger is or how they differ from the web. The few handful on this planet that do are just other nerds who like to blogspam tech nerd things. It would be nice if the web enshittified so much even the average non techie was put into a position to look into these alternatives.
SmokeyDope@lemmy.worldto weedtime@crazypeople.online•Anyone in backwards "illegal" states have any tips or recommendations for medicinal?English2·8 天前Right now THCA mail-order is under fire from goons in house and senate so if your gonna order on bulk legally may want to do it soon the lawmaking could go either way. I recommend eight horse hemp for cheap mid bulk and wnc-cbd for the top shelf premium
SmokeyDope@lemmy.worldMto LocalLLaMA@sh.itjust.works•Any recomendations for a text editor with good AI integration (not code editor)English1·9 天前Have you by chance checked out kobold.cpp lite webUI? It allows some of what your asking for like RAG for worldbuilding, adding images for the llm to describe to add into the story, easy editing of input and output, lots of customization in settings. I have a public instance of kobold webui setup on my website and I’m cool with allowing fellow hobbyist using my compute to experiment with things. If your interested in trying it out to see if its more what youre looking for, feel free to send me a pm and I’ll send you the address and a api key/password.
SmokeyDope@lemmy.worldMto LocalLLaMA@sh.itjust.works•Any recomendations for a text editor with good AI integration (not code editor)English1·9 天前In an ideal work what exactly would you want an AI integrated text editor to do? Depending on what you need to have happen in your workflow you can automate copy pasting and automatic output logging with python scripts and your engines api.
Editing and audiing stories isnt that much different from auditing codebases. It all boils down to the understanding and correct use of language to convey abstraction. I bet tweaking some agebic personalities and goals in vscode+roo could get you somewhere

Yesss lol 🫠😵💫🤭
Aaaa that looks like some dry ass ground trim if its even bud at all it looks like a cookibg spice the grains are very long and narrow
SmokeyDope@lemmy.worldto Selfhosted@lemmy.world•[SOLVED] ELI5: How to put several servers on one external IP?English3·12 天前Good to hear you figured it out with router settings. I’m also new to this but got all that figured out this week. As other commenters say I went with a reverse proxy and configured it. I choose caddy over nginx for easy of install and config. I documented just about every step of the process. I’m a little scared to share my website on public fourms just yet but PM me ill send you a link if you want to see my infrastructure page where I share the steps and config files.
SmokeyDope@lemmy.worldMto Metal Detecting: Booty Seeking!@lemmy.world•New here, from California!English2·16 天前I’m sure your daughter and you will have a great time. People get touchy over legal grey area and what your allowed to do and where. Some people are sticklers, some see digging holes in the ground of abandoned/public places as ‘eh, who really cares?’ Indifferent to local laws. Its up to you to decide how you feel about it and where you want to try your luck.
I personally have no problem detecting in public places I know nobody lives or cares about regardless of what tax/lot records say. Ive done a few side of the track runs, abandoned schools, big field lots that filled old public pools, riverside hiking trails. As long as you arent making nasty holes its not worth anyone’s trouble… Worst case scenario someone tells you to leave.
SmokeyDope@lemmy.worldMto Metal Detecting: Booty Seeking!@lemmy.world•New here, from California!English2·16 天前Welcome! Thanks for choosing to be here :) Hope you have fun with your garette and post some good finds this season!
My advice is to get a pinpointer if you dont alrewdg have one its a lifesaver. Practice plugs in the backyard is a good idea. Get a feel for the process.
Detectors have lots of buttons and options for discrimination it can feel overwhelming/confusing at times. Keep it simple! If it beeps when run metal under the head your good to go. If you know how, just turn sensitivity down a little thats all no need to worry about the numbers.
Even if you just find pull tabs and batteries in the yard don’t let it discourage you. If you keep at an area of ground over a long period you bit by bit increase likelyhood of finding good stuff by removing all the trash in the ground.
I keep everything I pull out of the ground. Even scraps of aluminum and pull tabs have a spot in my collection. Get a cheap display case or trophy table and show it off!

SmokeyDope@lemmy.worldMto LocalLLaMA@sh.itjust.works•Local Voiceover/Audiobook generationEnglish2·19 天前I once got kobold.CPP working with their collection of TTS model+ wav tokenizer system. Here’s the wiki page on it.
It may not be as natural as a commercial voice model but may be enough to wet your appetite in the event that other solutions feel overwhelmingly complicated
