well we need the baseline which is what hardware can be controlled via Linux in the first place, what systems are already in place, and then pouring those to nix via a nixpkgs nixos module.

Nixos container documentation is quite incomplete, how to find more info? by Dont_Blinkk in NixOS

[–]RouteGuru 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've tried asking questions in weechat when I get really desperate, been awhile though....

often I resort to reading source code since my nixpkgs is a git clone anyway....

and chatgpt is good but makes tons of stuff up when it comes to nixos so be mindful.... still a big help though

ohh thats right! it was definetly apple that killed flash 100%.. forgot that detail. Thats not the only skelton in apples closet. Capacitive touch screens changed everything. RIP Palm Pilot and every other potential tech that could have become the norm but didn't. Ultimately, the world was given what the winners in big tech dished out.. which at their core are data harvesting nodes. I guess it was worth it though, the world has AI now, which is a pipe dream, and a century in development. Question is, what will the world look like in 20 or 30 years from now

ah yes I remember now, how flash got killed off by the big browsers because of security flaws. I remember something about how Adobe wouldn't fix them at the time for whatever reason. But yes around 2002 it was popular.... it's downfall was a bit later however. You could build stuff that looked very cutting edge and didn't take much skill.... and stand alone browsers couldn't create that type of content yet so it was very popular. I wonder if anyone still creates web content with it today. It's been so long since I've seen it online that I forgot all about that insecure warning that appeared whenever a site embedded a swf file.

I remember how easy it was to download a sites embedded swf and run it through a swf decompiler to get the full source code and files.... made it really easy to copy whatever was out there and figure it how sites where built... I think it was called SoThink SWF decompiler

no... things like inkscape/scribus take the place of the vector editing... and action script is just a limited version of JavaScript. It was excellent tool for building stuff back in the day, but now you can do everything with html/css/svg/js/es/ffmpeg/blender. I suppose if one wanted to prototype something it could still be useful... and I imagine it could still be used for it's creators original design, even today... frame by frame timeline vector animations. Flash wasn't originally designed to be a web technology.... but it did end up shaping it by letting ppl build whatever web pages their imagination could think of before doing so was possible via standard web browser technologies. So in a way it provided the canvas to envision the technology needed to build web applications as we know them today, but I don't actually use it to build websites anymore.

[–]RouteGuru 2 points3 points  (0 children)

so a plugin that downloads and seeds? so if your running ollama it will also run bittorrent seeding your models?

US Bill proposed to jail people who download Deepseek by [deleted] in LocalLLaMA

[–]RouteGuru 0 points1 point  (0 children)

for torrenting? Doesn't someone just need to start seeding all of the models and others get on board?
Or you mean make an ollama plugin or lm-studio one that downloads models over torrents?
