Looks at numbers.

Subtracts money being spent, from money being earned.

Huh.

Are you sure?

The original “One” phone was even supposed to run cyanogemod out of the box at one point.

Yes. But you don’t have to switch.

People say “start” with simpler distros because if you go past just using it as-is, and grow to understand linux closer to the system level, you’ll likely eventually end up preferring something more complex.

There’s little point to starting at the deep end, like arch, since you don’t know whether you’ll end up staying in the shallows yet. Either way, it’s the start. It can also be the end, but that is unknowable.

Sorry, I must’ve misremembered about systemd. It’s how my installs start up, and the unit file is not in the usual location for systemd units I’ve created myself, so my assumption was it came with Kopia. There is no systemd timer though, and one isn’t needed.

Edit: Just confirmed no systemd file came with kopia on my system either, my mistake.

in the past week, it did not backup anything. Hence, there is no scheduler built into kopia automagically as described/ hinted in the docs.

Was Kopia running during that time?

If you run a Kopia command, then it will perform the instructed task, and then exit. It will obviously not do anything after completing whatever command was given, as the process will have exited, leaving no kopia process running on the system. This is for when you use it in cron or your own scripts.

The other way of doing things is to run it in server mode kopia server start, which will set it running as a background daemon. When running, it allows you to log into the web interface or configure it via cli to do whatever you like. And as long as the process starts along with the host system, that’s all there is to it.

How the daemon is set up to start, doesn’t really matter.

Nah.

Just do what Valve did with Wine.

Officially fork and contribute to Heroic.

Since BTRFS can share blocks between snapshots, which can straight up exist within the file tree, and is also able to de-duplicate files, you can theoretically use more space than there exists on the drive.

Like the other commenter said, it’s easier to look at how many unallocated blocks the volume has.

Also, as they warn, BAD THINGS HAPPEN WHEN A BTRFS VOLUME FILLS UP. It doesn’t just refuse to write. It will straight up break and stop working, requiring really tedius fixes to free up space.

My current setup, is as follows:

Personally curated music I buy and organize using Picard into folder A.

Lidarr is configured with folder C, which is a mergerfs volume consisting of folder A and B. Folder A is read-only, and any writes on C go into folder B. This way Lidarr can “see” all my existing music, while any automated downloads go into folder B, keeping them separate from my organized files.

Lidarr actually works, because it is hooked up to Soulseek using Tubifarry with ytdl as a fallback. I also have an import list hooked up to my last.fm recommendations to automatically download new stuff I might like.

When I feel like it, I go through folder B using Picard, moving things I want to keep into folder A.

To access my music, I use Jellyfin, also through folder C. My clients are Feishin and Symfonium.

In Symfonium, I use smart playlists for discovery. These playlists populate based on stuff like “unlistened tracks” or “multiple plays without being favorited” and “recently added from favorited artists”.

My favorite feature however is the tag-based endless playback which allows me to pick a track to start with, and then swipe through music with at least some kind of logic to the progression. This is my main way to browse my library.

It works extremely well, with the exception of files that don’t contain many tags. Hence my main pursuit has been to find a good way too add at least some genre tags to ALL my files. I haven’t found a final solution.

For iOS support, look at Navidrome for the server and maybe SubStreamer for the client.

Like you said, it might be impossible to avoid ascribing things like intentionality to it

That’s not what I meant. When you say “it makes stuff up” you are describing how the model statistically predicts the expected output.

You know that. I know that.

That’s the asterisk. The more in-depth explanation a lot of people won’t bother getting far enough to learn about. Someone who doesn’t read that far into it, can read that same phrase and assume that we’re discussing what type of personality LLMs exhibit, that they are “liars”. But they’d be wrong. Neither of us is attributing intention to it or discussing what kind of “person” it is, in reality we’re referring to the fact that it’s “just” a really complex probability engine that can’t “know” anything.

No matter what word we use, if it is pre-existing, it will come with pre-existing meanings that are kinda right, but also not quite, requiring that everyone involved in a discussion know things that won’t be explained every time a term or phrase is used.

The language isn’t “inaccurate” between you and me because you and I know the technical definition, and therefore what aspect of LLMs is being discussed.

Terminology that is “accurate” without this context does not and cannot exist, short of coming up with completely new words.

Yes.

Who are you trying to convince?

What AI is doing is making things up.

This language also credits LLMs with an implied ability to think they don’t have.

My point is we literally can’t describe their behaviour without using language that makes it seems like they do more than they do.

So we’re just going to have to accept that discussing it will have to come with a bunch of asterisks a lot of people are going to ignore. And which many will actively try to hide in an effort to hype up the possibility that this tech is a stepping stone to AGI.

Obviusly.

And like hallucinations, it’s undesired behavior that proponents off LLMs will need to “fix” (a practical impossibility as far as I’m concerned, like unbaking a cake).

But how would you use words to explain the phenomenon?

“LLMs hallucinate and lie” is probably the shortest description that most people will be able to grasp.

Yup. The way the article titled itself isn’t helping.

Fun fact, you can felt dog hair but not cat hair

You can absolutely felt cat hair.

I don’t even need needles to get my cats fur to solidify into a ball, I just massage a bunch of it like a snowball.

Seems like it’s a technical term, a bit like “hallucination”.

It refers to when an LLM will in some way try to deceive or manipulate the user interacting with it.

There’s hallucination, when a model “genuinely” claims something untrue is true.

This is about how a model might lie, even though the “chain of thought” shows it “knows” better.

It’s just yet another reason the output of LLMs are suspect and unreliable.

Same but among arch users it’s “your config” and “my config”.

I’m referencing this.

I’m antitheist, personally.

We have the power of god and anime on our side.

The actual one.

I can see they fully embrace the silly.

But it just doesn’t land. Like at all.

You didn’t think it would be possible. I still don’t. And every time I see anything from the show, I am even more put off.

How is it actually watching this?

The intensity of cringe the trailers of this live action adaptation makes me feel, is difficult to describe.

It’s orders of magnitude more visceral and uncomfortable than watching an adult naruto running.

The story, and especially the charachters, just do not work for me in this medium. I actively try to forget this is a real thing Netflix is making.

But apparently it’s… Good?

How did you install kopia? What system are you on?

I’m not yet sure about that

It needs to be running, if it is, it will follow the policy. Systemd can start it with the system, but you can also start it some other way. Or you can execute snapshots without it constantly running, via cron/script. It’s up to you.
