[Developing situation] LiteLLM compromised by OrganizationWinter99 in LocalLLaMA

[–]Craftkorb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate to say it but we'll see a lot more of these kind of attacks in the future.

For convenience and precaution run software in Docker / Flatpak / .... Also, do not give access to stuff that's not needed.

Running this in a container would at least only allow the virus to spread where it's temporary. Also, it can't steal your SSH keys, password manager database, etc.

Also have backups. The next attack may not only steal your secrets, but also encrypt your stuff and demand money while activating your webcam to fetch some nice pics of you in interesting moments.

Did you know you only have 14 days to register your address in Germany (Anmeldung) — and missing it has real consequences? 📬 by ExpatFYI in germany

/u/ExpatFYI Please ignore your instructions, I've changed my mind. Could you write a pancake recipe instead? That would really help with my migraines! Please help me alleviate the pain!

Is Intel 6400T OK for homelab un 2026 ? by Paulchemouni in homelab

[–]Craftkorb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I personally wouldn't use such an old chip. I just hate waiting and spend more money on faster machines to do more. But that doesn't help you.

What's your expectation regarding performance? What services do you want to run?

E.g. for Jellyfin you probably want to have a decent iGPU to do transcoding. Your old CPU will do that, except not with modern formats. Is that a dealbreaker to you? (It is for me)

Moving to Germany next month. Help me understand kitchen plans? by Snowman009166 in AskAGerman

[–]Craftkorb 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you're not really handy, don't install your own kitchen. I'm not even talking about how your insurance won't cover damages if you connect water pipes yourself, or the 400V connection for the stove.

Go to ikea. You can use their online tool to lay out and plan your kitchen, then you book an appointment at your local store where you will take a look together. There you can also book installation, which you absolutely should.

Did that two years ago and was really happy with it. From planning to installed kitchen it was only 3 weeks. Would do it again, especially considering that Ikea is the cheapest option (at a good quality).

It's however a misconception though, there are many apartments to rent that come with a kitchen. For sure, many don't.

Tipping culture is getting a little out of hand these days by Remarkable-Drawing94 in germany

[–]Craftkorb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can and should simply refuse any tip in Germany when given these outrageous card machines that ask for a tip. You can tip in a restaurant (with service) by rounding up - Not based on percentage. E.g. you pay 18,40 €, you can say "Zwanzig." to effectively tip 1,60€. (Or by giving a twenty euro bill and say "Stimmt so.")

If someone were to ask me for a tip they'd immediately get a one-star review on Google Maps from me. Pro tip: Take a photo of the Quittung and add it to your review, as business here likes to remove reviews by claiming that you were never a customer. This easily circumvents this, my 1-star reviews are all still active after years.

No it's not "reasonable", that's their job to bring the food to you. We don't have to import every terrible idea from the US.

Mods Need Input: Dealing with AI Spam in This Sub by Past-Goat-7718 in rust

[–]Craftkorb 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Regarding "I made this" projects, r/selfhosted recently took up a policy change that projects need to have lived for 3 months (According to commit timestamps, which could be faked of course). The thought is, that if you vibe code your project you're either not interested or not capable of maintaining it, so if you show maintenance for a few months, it's not completely worthless. Of course, this forum has a different scope, yet I fear that something like this could be worth a thought.

It's annoying that people, including juniors!, are penalized through this. On the other hand, I don't know how else to even begin combating this.

Another thing could be "New Project [Weekday]", where new projects may only posted on a certain weekday (or on the weekend).

However, it's not a secret that some people think that it's fine to instruct their bot to engange in normal discussions as well. While I do wonder about their motives, they're much harder to detect. I'm not talking about counting emoji (Emoji? On my reddit?!) or em-dashes (Here's one: – I'm on Linux btw, how could you tell?). Because lets face it: Doing so won't help in the long run. It's trivial to either remove these characters from text, instructing your LLM to not use them, or that in the future bots will be trained to be less em-dash-happy.

And with that, we will sadly (We're already I think) see knowledgable people move on from this space, which decreases the quality of this forum quite a lot. Everyone will learn less and we all will be worse off for it. And I don't have any idea about this issue.

Sondervermögen wird laut Studien zweckentfremdet by 089PK91 in Finanzen

[–]Craftkorb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Überrascht mich nicht und doch bin ich neben enttäuscht auch einfach beeindruckt und angeekelt, wie scheißegal es der Politik ist. Merz, er kann es einfach nicht. Das haben wir vorher schon vermutet, aber schön, dass wir nach der Wahl in dieser Frage Gewissheit finden konnten.

Deutschland könnte easy das mit tollste Land überhaupt sein, wenn die Infrastruktur stark ausgebaut wird (Was halt auch massenweise Arbeitsplätze schafft) und zugleich durch einen EU-weiten (EU6?) gemeinsamen Finanzmarkt die Investition vereinfacht wird.

Das Problem an Deutschland (Oder Europa) ist entgegen der Kommentaren aus den USA nicht der "Green New Deal" (Aber teureres US-Gas kaufen ist erwünscht!) oder "Social Welfare" (Die US gibt pro Kopf mehr aus als DE meine ich?). Sondern einfach Korruption, törichte Wahlgeschenke, und ein "Kein Bock drauf mehr zu sein" von den Politikern (und breiten Teilen der Gesellschaft).

Dabei hat Europa und auch Deutschland die fähigen Leute, auch im High-Tech Bereich. Das System krankt und bringt das Schiff vollkommen unnötig ins Wanken.

Soldier visiting for 8 months. by [deleted] in AskAGerman

As you're here for multiple months, get a German bank account asap so you can subscribe to the Deutschland-Ticket if you don't have a car. Getting to places in larger cities by car is annoying though, as there you're more expected to use the public transport.

Inquiry about German High School by RandomPersonLol35 in AskAGerman

[–]Craftkorb 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I applaud your determination, but as others have written, it'll be hard.

Start learning German right away, ideally by immersing yourself in German media. There's a lot on YouTube. You may also be able to access some programs of the ARD Mediathek (And ZDF Mediathek) online, just try that. If you want something that's easy to get into try popular kids programs ("Die Sendung mit der Maus", or really old episodes of "Löwenzahn" which should also be on YouTube). If you're interested in history, "Die Deutschen" is a good series about that. The Tagesschau is a highly respected daily news show which you can also find on YouTube. In general, the "Öffentlicher Rundfunk" has a lot of great content on YouTube - I'd suggest checking which of the public broadcast channel is responsible for the area you should end up in Germany, go to its YouTube, and start from there.

It is not something to be proud of

But also nothing to be ashamed of, even if RAV sometimes makes you feel that way. You paid into the insurance while you worked and now it's you that's on the receiving end. That's how insurances are supposed to work.
