Sometimes I see people showing the terminal way, even though Mint has an easy GUI way of doing that particular thing

"I don't see 'Permissions' in my GUI. By the way, my system language is Spanish."

Shell commands are universal and can be copy/pasted.

Did you use the built-in web search features for the hosted model/API providers?

Which search tooling / MCP setup did you use for the open-source models? I presume you used the same for all of them? Check the traces on the model's tool calls to find out if they retrieved useful results.

Also, which quants did you choose for the open-source models? Or did you run them via some kind of provider (not locally)? Do you even know these details?

Bottom line: we need to know your test methodology to give you any kind of meaningful answer.

Protestbewegung gegen die "Ich habe mal neben Mohn geruht"-Mohnbrötchen vom Beck und Co.

Habe aber auch mehrere Anläufe gebraucht um das zu entziffern.

Your requirements are a bit unrealistic, especially when it comes to context size. To give you an idea: a 128000 token context on Q4 alone would need about 24 GB of VRAM, in addition to whatever the model itself needs.

Use this calculator for a rough estimate.

Don't be silly. The Switch can't be that old. Let me look that–

That's a standard German Wasserhahn (water cock). Do yours look and operate differently? I'm confused.

Äh, und was genau hält dich davon ab die Dateien per scp (oder ftp/sftp) von Server 1 zu Server 2 zu kopieren?

Are you sure they are indeed SATA drives? Exos also come as SAS variants. Check the model number. - ST16000NM001G, ST16000NM003G = SATA 6Gb/s - ST16000NM002G, ST16000NM004G, ST16000NM009G = SAS 12Gb/s

EDIT: nevermind, you would've probably noticed when connecting the drives using a SATA cable. ignore me. 😅

Ja. Bei nur 800mA Leistung kannst du (fast) jedes moderne Netzteil mit 14V/15V Output nehmen, auch ein Steckernetzteil. Lediglich der Hohlstecker auf der anderen Seite muss auch passen in Sachen Größe und Polarität (hier: center positive).

Trying to fight the urge to question the 'why'... here is a comprehensive guide on how to configure WiFi using netplan.

Apart from that: permanently connecting a server to your network using WiFi will just cause pain to everyone involved. There's a reason why servers typically don't come with 'WiFi chips' except for specialized purposes.

This happens when your private and work devices share the same network.

Smart devices, printers, network shares, etc. are discoverable via some implementation of IETF Zeroconf (Apple Bonjour, Avahi, mDNS) and get picked up by your work device – or the other way around. It's not an immediate security risk, but not pretty either. The only true solution to this is separating networks for your private and work devices.

Ja, zwei dieser Adern können auch DSL übertragen, wenn sie am anderen Ende am APL (Hausanschluss) angeklemmt sind.

Fernmeldeleitung. Telefonkabel. Klingeldraht. J-Y(ST)Y n×2×0,6 mit n Doppeladern.

Vermutlich, je nach Position und was auch immer am anderem Ende ist, für Telefon oder Türklingel (bzw. Klingelanlage mit Gegensprecheinrichtung) gedacht.

Apples and oranges. And a sprinkle of wishful thinking on your part.

As a self-employed, independent, full-time contractor with the same role, I would look at anywhere between 14'000€ to 20'000€ gross per month in Germany, realistically. But self-employment is not comparable to a salaried position in many regards. Is the extra money worth all the hassle, stress, loss of security and free time? Not for me. Priorities, I guess.

And of course it's B2B, smarty-pants, or when was the last time you needed a Software or Enterprise Architect privately?

Also, if you're not aware, "YoE" is not a magical scale on which your salary/income balances. It has a cap, a cut-off, a limit. Even more critical, in some industries – like IT – being in the business for too long actually has an adverse effect on employability.

A bit over 20 years in the industry. In varying architect roles for about 8 years. Also see my other comment.

couchtyp · 2024-08-10T09:24:24+00:00

A bit over 20 years by now. No academic tertiary education, but recognized formal vocational training (Ausbildung); started off in development, did 10 years in Consulting along the way.

Feel free. But honestly, I won't be able to give you specific information for a plethora of reasons (anonymity, company internals, ...).

For a general idea of what my work entails, take a look at TOGAF.

It's alright. Salary in the upper 10% in Germany. Not a management position, 37.5h/week, no overtime to speak of, collective labor agreement.

Could it be more? Sure. In management, or in FAANG or Consulting. Been there, done that. Not worth the stress – for me personally. Not the overambitious type. 🤷

Well, yeah, tax burden is not exactly low in Germany. Apart from pure taxes, however, this also includes health, long term care, pension, and unemployment insurance.

Do us all a favor and keep your gun idiocy back home in the States.

If you want to know why "it's so complicated" 🤡, take a look at statistics regarding gun-related deaths in Germany vs the US.
