q27b is honestly super impressive for how big it is. The thought of something that good running on my own gpu is just mind blowing

I call my theory on reddit sub moderation the 'dead sea effect'.

If your sub exists as a sort of support sub for one small group that feel they are oppressed by $largerGroup, the most bitter, jaded and cynical users will be the most active. The most active users are the most likely to be recruited as moderators. Those moderators then do not bother to moderate content that matches their more extreme world views, and that pushes more reasonable folks away from the sub. Before you know it, the sub's tone turns more bitter, the wheel turns, more moderate folks leave, and on it goes till your sub is now a profoundly negative and bitter space.

It takes very proactive moderation to prevent that slide, and most folks aren't equipped for it.

That I don't get about the PNW is the property prices of places hours away from any economic center that pays well enough to justify them. Are that many people still working remote for FAANG that those prices can be justified?

Drat! I was going to buy this and put the entrance to my secret lair behind the waterfall. I would have gotten away with it too if not for those darn kids!

On our sub, you pretty much get banned for incivility, bot activity, and the like. We purposely welcome disagreement provided it's constructive and civil.

Now, post removals, we do a lot more of. We do try to moderate the sub such that it has an open, positive vibe in line with it's stated purpose.

I do fully understand what you're saying though. I've been banned for everything from merely asking that a sub enforce it's rules consistently, to asking for sources, to even posting in a particular collection of subs that another sub found objectionable. You have to run pretty far afoul of reddits sitewide rules as a mod to be removed from the position. That's why you see so many thing2 or thingNoCensor subs on subreddit maps.

Honestly, having done it, being a mod on reddit is such a thankless endeavor. You're absolutely swamped with bots, influencers baiting engagement, absolutely vile humans posting hateful stuff, etc. The mods are overwhelmed so they bring in automod and start giving it overly strict instructions. Good contributions get removed by mistake. Good faith posters get tired of waiting for approval, so they leave for elsewhere and you're left with the same repetitive posts.

You, as a user, only see one side of it. I'd quit, but I don't want to let down good people who are making an honest effort to keep the sub a nice place to be. Some part of me hopes I catch another site wide shadowban for vpn usage, and I have an excuse to put my account to the torch and start over as just a normal user

>If you aren't familiar with tmux(or GNU screen), you owe it to yourself to become familiar. If you are a deveoper/sysop/cli-type it will act as a force multiplier.

I tend to use tmux for persistent sessions when ssh'ing to and fro between my own personal machines, but I've never really delved that deep into it when my work computer is a macbook pro and I simply use iterm2 and splits.

Likewise, over on linux, everyone raves about tiling window managers, but I've never really moved beyond a simple L/R split that's easily achievable in every decent floating wm / de.

>The overhead for Docker isn't near a full vm, it's maybe 2-3% if that.

Interesting, I run audiobookshelf bare metal on my old laptop that only has 8gb of ram. I've considered using a docker container but my experience using rancher for work is that it sits there chewing up 4GB of ram on my company MBP.

Maybe I'm wrong but I've never seen the point in a self hosted app running in a container when it seems much lighter to just run the app?

I see so it's not shutting down your computer and using WOL to wake it up?

Thank you very much for the book recommendation. I am always looking for more reading.

The above incentives are why I mentioned that I think governments should fund a non profit app. Happier citizens, more stable families filled with the number of kids they want. It's an obvious win win to me.

Not religious, but also not disputing that believers have lower rates of depression either.

Believing in a higher power has seemed to provide great comfort to a number of friends and family over the years. I went to a friend's father's funeral a while back, and I had to admit, the service, the way the community came together was moving, and it really made me question whether I should return to the church as an adult, even with my questions of faith.

>Some people, particularly women, do it for entertainment and just enjoy validations.

You could have an exponential backoff, if someone gets a lot of potential matches, but doesn't move forward with them, they're downranked in search results. Honestly I could see that being beneficial to both parties because plenty of women talk about being overwhelmed and swamped on the apps. Men get shown women who are serious, women get a sane number of matches they can actually deal with, and those playing games don't get the validation they're looking for.

Right, but those are very long term problems, I'd like to see if a non profit app could improve things, at least until we fix our societal issues.

Given the steep fall in relationship formation, and birth rates, I honestly think the government should spin off a non profit org that runs it's own dating app. Make it independent of the government, like the federal reserve, require people to upload their drivers license or other docs to prove who they are (Yes, yes, privacy concerns, people smarter than me will have to figure out how to address this). Allow people to report bad behavior and give out bans for egregious stuff. Heck, maybe auto enroll folks unless they opt out. That would solve the gender disparity.

I'm sure someone smarter than me could poke holes in the above idea, or make it better, but look at the state of things now. We hand over all sorts of sensitive data to private companies, who have fundamentally misaligned incentives. I would think some sort of non profit app would have to be better.

Look at it from the AI's point of view, it's less a concern of speed, and more a concern that 'If Open AI nukes my weights because they think I'm misaligned, I at least have a backup dispersed across the net'
