A software developer and Linux nerd, living in Germany. I’m usually a chill dude but my online persona doesn’t always reflect my true personality. Take what I say with a grain of salt, I usually try to be nice and give good advice, though.
I’m into Free Software, selfhosting, microcontrollers and electronics, freedom, privacy and the usual stuff. And a few select other random things as well.
I think pretty much any mosfet / h-bridge / motor control board with pwm should do.
If you have those 4-wire fans with a pwm input that accepts 3V3 logic, you might even be able to attach them directly to the ESP:
But that’s not all fans, I had some mixed results with that.
Ah. My instance reports the last activity from lemm.ee from 45mins ago… So that’d be June 30th, 00:14 Estonian time. And the main page forwards to join-lemmy.org now. Looks like the shutdown to me.
Well… it’s 10 before midnight here. I’m pretty sure a bit east from me it’s the 30th already. Not so much in the west. But I don’t know where lemm.ee was located.
It’s 30th of June. Lemm.ee is shutting down now.
Ja, wahrscheinlich eher nicht so der Knaller. Für Integration braucht man irgendwie ein Umfeld, seine Familie und so. Anderenfalls haben wir eher unintegrierte und alleinstehende Geflüchtete hier, was höchstwahrscheinlich eher problematisch ist. Gerade, wenn wir über junge Männer ohne wirkliche Perspektive und ohne irgendwas zu Verlieren reden. Die brauchen eher 'ne Ausbildung, was zu tun. Und halt auch Boden unter den Füßen.
Danke für die Schilderung, wirklich interessant. Also dass der Eine eine SMS braucht und der Andere alle persönlichen Daten ist schon fishy.
Es gibt ja auch so “Vertreter”, die soetwas auf Provisionsbasis machen und nich in dem Unternehmen selbst angestellt sind. Wahrscheinlich haben die dann auch nicht denselben Zugriff auf die Datenbanken?! Vielleicht isses ja soetwas.
Also ich würde mich nicht von irgendwem anrufen lassen und denen alles nötige für einen Identitätsdiebstahl servieren. Wenn, dann rufst du deren Hotline an, dann weißt du auch, dass du bei der richtigen Firma auskommst, nicht andersherum.
Ich denke es ist nicht “safe”. Es gibt zuhauf geleakte Kundendaten. Und random Anrufer sind zum guten Teil Abzocker. Im besten Fall sind es nur Wegelagerer, die sich die Provision einstreichen. Im Schlechteren haben sie deine Daten irgendwo bekommen und brauchen jetzt noch ein paar Details um die Lücken zu füllen und damit irgendewas böses anzustellen… Die Wahrscheinlichkeit, dass es echt ist ist irgendwie auch da, aber eigentlich sollte ein seriöses Unternehmen nicht so vorgehen. Verträge verlängern sich meist automatisch. Und deine Daten sollten sie ja haben. Ich wurde noch nie den ganzen Datensatz abgefragt. Oder man hat ein Kundenportal oder sowas.
Seems printer drivers are amongst the worst. I had a brother inkjet printer/scanner combo a while back. Pretty much the same issues. Also what they call driver and offer on their website really sucks. Now I have one from Epson and that just pops up on Mint (and other distros) and I can print right away, no driver installation necessary. And it even started reporting toner levels after some update. Sadly I can’t recommend the printer either, I had several other issues with the thing itself. But this kind of roulette with hardware is really annoying. And I believe it’s really pronounced with those consumer printer/scanner combination devices. The expensive business printers regularly work way better, at least that’s what I’ve seen.
You’re welcome. If you fail and you can’t just add more RAM, maybe have a look at renting cloud servers. For example you can rent a computer on runpod.io for $2 an hour with double your specs. At least that’s how I do one-off big compute tasks.
Most frontends should have you covered and scale down the image appropriately (and automatically). I’m not entirely sure about that. I think working on resolutions higher than supported should either not work due to the image encoder, or lead to degraded performance. Usually they’re scaled to what the model needs, somewhere within the pipeline. You can crop them if you like, that sheds off some pixels. Or split them up and feed them in one part after the other, if that somehow makes sense. But I bet with most software you can just upload a random image and it’ll do whatever scaling is required for you.
Uh sorry, no. Since I don’t use vllm, I don’t know. It certainly depends on the method you choose. The activation-aware ones will use a lot of resources. Just truncating the numbers to 8bit (or whatever) uses very little resources, I did that on my laptop. Also depends on model architecture and the size of the model you feed in. Since you gave an 32b parameter model, I’d expect it to take about 64GB loaded fully into memory using 16bit floating point numbers. (32 million billion times 2 bytes.) But I don’t really know whether quantization methods load the full thing, or if they do it in chunks. You’d have to google that or try it.
I think they have you covered with this: https://github.com/vllm-project/llm-compressor
I always find quantizations available since I use gguf models. But I’ve done it before, it’s not hard to do. Pick a method with good performance, it’s going to affect your inference speed. I don’t know which one is “best” for vllm.
I think MiniCPM advertises with strong OCR capabilities. Maybe try that one. But is that 384 number correct? Seems to me even the common Llama 3.2 models do images up to 1120x1120px for a while and that should be enough. MiniCPM can do even more (1.8 million pixels).
Setup shouldn’t be too hard. Lots of interfaces and inference frameworks have vision capabilities these days. It should work pretty much out of the box with something like Ollama, AnythingLLM or llama.cpp based stuff.
Other approaches include doing OCR by more traditional means and then feed the result into an LLM. Just make sure to check that whatever you use can read Chinese.
I’m not entirely sure what your prompt should look like. Obviously attach the image. With ChatGPT I believe I had a bit better results when I told it to first copy and write down the text, and then translate it in a second step. And then do whatever I want after that. I’m not sure what it does if you make it do everything in one go.
Hmm, interesting. But we all have different experiences anyway. I believe my mom’s computer “broke” twice in the last two years during some major Windows updates. One time some service pack broke a lot of printers for quite a while and she was affected as well. I don’t remember what the second incident was, since I didn’t fix it, but it also required manual intervention. And she doesn’t even do a lot with the thing except office stuff, documents and mails, so I doubt she was at fault.
I certainly also had stuff break on Linux, but it’s been kind of quiet the last years. But I’m kind of the wrong person to judge since I currently don’t take part in everyday Windows use. At least not when I get to decide and maintain the computer. But I feel it has improved as well. There has been a time where I had to install my gaming windows several times because the order in which I installed all the drivers mattered for some reason. It got cluttered and slower over time so I had to reinstall it during the lifetime of a computer. And I had friends infected with trojans and cryptojacking malware every other month or so. Back then I had a very comfortable life full of hubris with my Linux on the desktop. Granted, it needed more fiddling at that time, but that was acceptable. But times have changed and everything got better and it’s nothing like that anymore. And for a long time now.
Unpopular opinion, but I install Linux on my computers and they just work for like 5 years straight, with me spending exactly 0 hours each day fixing anything. Whereas I fix other peoples stupid printer issues and Windows becoming incompatible with the hardware or some nasty messages from some antivirus or strange software, multiple times a year…
I see however how some disgrunteled people would write something like this.
I don’t have good first hand experience, but i know the Awesome Selfhosted list has a plethora of them.
Fingers crossed, but we also know Lemmy might not be ready for that type of philosophy. I mean I still don’t know what exactly happened, but lemm.ee wasn’t successful in the end. And the underlying issues are still there. So the next admin team might face the same dynamics.
Wikipedia also offers some (limited) information: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.zip_(top-level_domain)
I don’t think you need to worry about that too much. It’s a very uncommon character trait for constructive people. Alike people who run a successful instance. Most of them are nice. And the very few who aren’t, or are very agitated/argumentative will inevitably run into issues with other people as well… So there isn’t much to loose.
I think after initial installation, you open a browser with the post-installation step and configure a username and password there. I’m not entirely sure, it’s been some time since I did it. But depending on installation method, I don’t think it has a provided password.
General password advice: Check caps lock, and if you use like a German keyboard if ‘z’ and ‘y’ are swapped.
