Nixos’ weakness is definitely it’s documentation. There’s often configuration snippets you can copy and paste, though. If you go with NixOS, make sure to come back with questions, the community is very helpful.

Ah, fair enough. I seem to have misrembered nifty 50 lenses as being specifically for portraits.

Strange technical writing in this review, and a misleading headline. The phone has a 35mm equivalent focal length lens, it doesn’t have a “35mm” full-frame sensor.

A 35mm primary lens is unusual for phone cameras, as usually the primary lens is a wide-angle lens, but 35mm is still quite wide. It isn’t very different from the iPhone’s focal length eqv of 26mm.

In terms of using it as a zoom lens, typically portraits are taken with 50mm lenses, and the iPhone’s “telephoto” lens is 77mm, so 35mm isn’t very narrow, either.

Also, Nubia seems to be a brand from ZTE. It sounds like a Nokia ripoff, and aren’t ZTE banned in the US? Is this phone the result of the CCP dodging trade restrictions? That seems more interesting than a slightly narrower camera lens.

If I wanted a device with a plastic screen and a fragile hinge, I’d carry around a Nintendo DS

Unraid is bad at NAS and bad at docker. Go with a separate Nas and application server.

Is there a way for me to be “notified” if shell access of any form is gained by someone?

Falco is a very powerful tool for this.

If you’re not using something like synology, it isn’t really an issue to run applications and nas on the same machine. I would generally recommend separating them so you have more options in the future if you want to run muliple servers for HA or expansion, but it should be fine either way. It is worth noting that quad core N100 computers are like $150 on aliexpress if you want a cheap application server(s).

Generally it’s simpler if you have your NAS separate from your application server. Synology runs NAS really well, but a separate application server for docker/etc is a lot easier to use and easier to upgrade than running on Synology. Your application server can even have a GPU for media transcoding or AI processing. Trying to do everything on one box makes things more complicated and fragile.

I would recommend something like Debian or NixOS for the application server, and you should be able to manage it over SSH. You can then mount your NAS as an NFS share, and then run all your applications in Docker or NixOS, using the NAS to store all your state.

Nice to see that other companies are finally trying to make a phone that can actually compete with the fairphone. Still not as repairable as the fairphone though, and its unacceptable to have a locked bootloader.

That’s fair. I’m just thinking I could never use something like this because I would be invading the privacy of others using my Jellyfin. I would live to see an anonymous view counter on every movie though tbh.

Seems pretty creepy to be collecting logs about what people watch. Why do people use this?

You need IP cameras and then you need a NVR server for recording, detection, and display. There are some good open source NVR programs out there with docker support. I’ve been wanting to try Viseron. There’s also ZoneMinder and Shinobi that seem to be good.

Unfortunately most consumer cameras are cloud only. This seems to be a list of cameras you can look into: https://wiki.zoneminder.com/Hardware_Compatibility_List

Your best bet is probably a chinese brand for cameras. Dahlua seems popular. There are also a bunch of PoE cameras on Aliexpress for $15-25, but I can’t attest to if they’re any good. Hikvision cameras seem to have been popular too, but they have been recently sanctioned by EU/US for human rights violations.

They already implement features to make it harder to sideload

STH measured 23w on theirs, but it can vary based on which one you buy. Tons of compute power with those 4 E cores.

$150 fanless N100 pc with 4x2.5gbps from aliexpress and install OPNsense on it.

Yes, Graphene developers will not port Graphene to any other devices, because they’re insecure. You’ll need a new phone to use GrapheneOS.

It’s possible that your phone is supported by CalyxOS, which has a lot of the same degoogled feature, but a little less compatibility.

I guess that makes sense, but I wonder if it would be hard to get clean data out of the per-token confidence values. The LLM could be hallucinating, or it could just be generating bad grammar. It seems like it’s hard enough already to get LLMs to distinguish between “killing processes” and murder, but maybe there could be some novel training and inference techniques that come up.

I thought confidence levels were for image recognition? How do confidence levels work for transformer LLMs?

Being able to find and read software documentation and knowing how to use the tools that automate software deployment are why SRE/devops/cloud guys get paid the big bucks.

I definitely recommend synapse over dendrite or conduit btw. dendrite and conduit have a bunch of missing features, and my first attempt at dendrite server shat the bed with its NATS store and died. I definitely recommend Synapse for all matrix servers going forward.

The .well-known entries I found were the hardest to test, since synapse doesn’t provide a web server for them, and Element throws a fit if you don’t have CORS set up exactly in the way it wants you to.

I mostly have my matrix server working now, with bridges even. However, Element randomly logs itself out on a daily basis which is really frustrating :/
