my old laptop😅 and a bluetooth keyboard/touchpad. If it is not too noisy and performs well enough, I might make that a dedicated tv device (but then I will have to buy a new laptop lol, I’ve been drooling on framework for a while).

Alternatively one of the n150 options, like you say. In which case I can update this post

Great tip, thanks!

Cool, using this setup now.

Thinking of ways to make it more friendly for my SO and guests coming to visit or babysit etc, who are not used to linux (gnome). Any tips there?

Top of mind is auto open browser on startup with fixed tabs for relevant streaming services. But could also be a simple wrapper of some kind, with UI similar to kodi, plex, jellyfin etc - but for accessing content on web.

Thx for the tip!

Thanks for the tip! I actually have an old intel celeron running as a server in the basement, so the bare minimum for this is playing media from the network. But, being able to play simple games could also be fun, so have to think about that one for a bit!

Thx for the tip!

Never heard of the brand/model, thanks! Will definately consider the latter

Thx, will try with an old dell xps13 in the meantime!

I wouldn’t even call it a bug. It’s doing exactly as it is trained to do - guess the next word based on training data. If it has no concept of truth/falsehood, how can falsehoods be bugs?

That’s interesting. Better sooner rather than later!

What will happen to all the datacenters? Crypto?

I’m not an economist, but I know that ppl only invest in stocks if they think it will be worth more tomorrow than today.

As long as people are convinced that this tech will result in AGI someday, they will keep investing.

And the gameplan for convincing people is not to build not tech that is as useful as possible, as good at fact-checking as possible - but as human-like as possible. The more people anthropormorphize LLMs, the more it seems like it can do stuff it actually can’t (reason, understand, empathize, etc).

OpenAI, Anthropic and others exploit this to the fullest. And I think breaking that spell is key.

What on earth? never seen something like this on lemmy before

Oh absolutely. I like the qualitative way they interact with their users. Instead of lots of static pages with lists of issues to vote on, roadmaps, FAQs and that kind of thing, feedback and updates all happen in the chats, interacting with the actual developers. When I make requests or report bugs, ppl chime in and those things actually get addressed, and sometimes fixed really fast. Feels like a digital village!

yea🤘 the tech is really fascinating. Like yea, the p2p-approach introduces some new challenges, but it solves so many existing ones:

For example costs. The more popular an app gets, the more traffic it gets, the more it costs to run it. I’ve heard telegram spends hundreds of millions of dollars on servers, with hundreds of developers.

P2P is the complete opposite. Keet is made by a small team, and the more people use it, the better it runs (because more peers can relay data). It can scale with no such restrictions.

someone should do the math of what would be the environmental impact if all communication went p2p instead of datacentres.

You raise a lot of points here, I recommend you join the community room in the app, you’ll get every detail from the developers there.

they haven’t opensourced it yet, but they say they will do so, and they have done so with all the components that keet is built on top of. So given that track record, I think it’s just a matter of when.

I asked a developer about the dht, in this context a “server” is just a dht node that you can connect to with its public key (but agree it’s confusing they use the same word). the wording might be confusing, but its definitively not what anyone understands as a server in a centralized network https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distributed_hash_table

as i’ve understood, all push notifications on android has to pass through googles servers (but they are encrypted)

and they don’t need a server to check for duplicates in usernames

so I recommend you continue to explore and ask around in the chat rooms, figure out if this is for you!

I’m excited for peer to peer technology, because it brings us closer to what the internet was originally supposed to be like.

I’ve recommended Keet (chat app) a bunch of times on lemmy earlier, which works really well and that is cool, but that is just a showcase of what’s possible with p2p.

Streaming media, sharing files, communication, browsing wikipedia, etc etc - this can be done without spying middlemen or data centres in between. Some cool demos here 09:45 https://youtube.com/watch?v=BTCsSwCpGP8&t=776

Similar to bittorrent yea, there’s more tech info about the primitives here https://docs.pears.com/

The UI is like normal chat app, with dm’s, group chats, voice calling, file sharing, etc. I recommend you try it out and see for yourself (no phone number or email required)

glad to help, turdburglar!

apk also available on github https://support.keet.io/installation-and-setup/installation

note that it’s still in beta, but the cool thing is that users can reach out to the dev team there, and they actually respond to you. this guy for example https://github.com/mafintosh

You could make a room in Keet, put your videos there and invite your followers in? No server costs or file size limits since it’s peer to peer. I’m in several rooms with video files of 1-2g, works great.
