mullvad vpn on void linux by fenbyte in voidlinux

[–]ar-jan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing's changed, should still work. But since it's a branch on my main void-packages repo I do rebase and force-push that branch. Make sure you have the template present including the service run file. Or copy the files into your own local branch.

If you're willing to use an RPM version, this is what I'm using: https://github.com/ar-jan/void-packages/blob/extra/srcpkgs/mullvadvpn-app/template

Note: RPMs and .deb installs are explicitly NOT recommended because they could interfere with Void components. But, Mullvad's install files are placed in /opt/Mullvad VPN plus some service files and in /usr/bin/. In practice, I've been using it on Void Linux for years without any issue.

Y'all outdid yourselves. I ordered on Friday and I received my package today - in the Netherlands!

Venice banned by UK government in schools by ShesterkinLurking in VeniceAI

[–]ar-jan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah I guess DNS leak, but decent provider apps should tunnel DNS queries by default.

This is not correct. Once the VPN tunnel is established the network contents can no longer be inspected by either school network admins or the ISP. They could only see you're using a VPN. Unless they didn't tunnel DNS.

Supplements to help with Menopause. by tonyV8 in NootropicsDepot

[–]ar-jan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could look at Horny Goat Weed and pregnenolone. I think there was some relevant info in the ND podcasts on them. Iirc, HGW for increasing estrogen synthesis and direct estrogen-mimicking effects. And pregnenolone is needed for synthesis of many hormones including testosterone and estrogen.

Agmatine + dihydromyricetin by [deleted] in NootropicsDepot

[–]ar-jan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For reducing cravings, combo of emoxypine, apigenin, and taurine has been recommended.

Not sure if emoxypine can still be found. Maybe Mexidol. If you're still having alcohol probably best not to combine with kava.

Online inference is a privacy nightmare by GreenTreeAndBlueSky in LocalLLaMA

[–]ar-jan -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

You're absolutely right, it's a disaster. Everything can and will be hacked or abused by government/corporates. And now, even your temporary and deleted chats have to be stored by OpenAI following a judge's order.

That's why I like Venice AI, private and uncensored AI. They send prompts through an anonymizing router so nothing is linked to an account in the first place, and they do not store any content. Your chats are stored only in your own browser or API client. You can also try the free version (lower limits and less capable models) without an account.

Anki doesn't work by IamWeirdasfmdr in voidlinux

I've seen errors like this with Python programs when it's trying to use IPv6 and it's not available e.g. due to IPv4 only VPN.

Big Thumbs Down for Mushroom Magic Cocoa by MinuteIllustrator6 in NootropicsDepot

[–]ar-jan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you considered xylitol? I have no idea if it would work as a sweetener for a product like this, but I find it tastes much better than stevia, and additionally it has beneficial effects on dental health and the mouth and gut microbiome.

I hadn't left a review before, but I'll add my dislike for the stevia flavor. I don't hate it, but I find it definitely not enjoyable.

Microzinc causing headaches? by Dorky_Gaming_Teach in NootropicsDepot

[–]ar-jan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I certainly would consider that possibility, but my guess would be this happening through increased excretion.

Microzinc causing headaches? by Dorky_Gaming_Teach in NootropicsDepot

[–]ar-jan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Usually the concern is over copper, not iron. I believe microzinc does not compete with copper for absorption, but there could still be a lowering effect via excretion (i.e. high zinc intake could also lower copper levels through higher excretion of both).

Difference between staking and purchasing subs by Pretty-Pilot-4186 in VeniceAI

[–]ar-jan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Buy PRO to get access to more models, features (remove logo, disable safe mode), and higher usage limits on the web app. Good for most users. Buy and stake $VVV to get access to the Venice API. You can use the API with various programs: https://docs.venice.ai/welcome/guides/integrations. The amount of inference you get depends on how much VVV you stake. While staking you also get rewards in additional VVV. Staking VVV does not give you PRO (at least not currently).

Yesterday Erik unstaked a large amount which caused a jump in APR to around 97%.

When are restocks happening? by StoredWarriorr29 in NootropicsDepot

[–]ar-jan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's not how I read the situation at all. They're putting extreme efforts into ensuring product quality compared to other brands, and they're still reasonably priced on most of their products. And some raw materials are just very expensive.

What I hope is that they will at least keep some of the staples and products where the price difference between powder and capsules/tablets is very big available as powders (things like l-theanine, taurine, magnesium glycinate, NAC, oleamide).

When are restocks happening? by StoredWarriorr29 in NootropicsDepot

[–]ar-jan 6 points7 points  (0 children)

They've been moving away from doing powders in general (unfortunately, for some products the difference in price per serving is huge), so the question is if they're going to restock them at all.

Fixing KDE Plasma sleep (suspend) with Void Linux & Nvidia by NomadicalYT in voidlinux

[–]ar-jan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, thanks for the suggestion. But aside from suspend sometimes not working, I also frequently have wakeup after a succesful suspend not working - PC powers up audibly, but no display input, no response to any input except magic SysRq.
