There’s a cheap zbtlink openwrt wifi6 3000Mbps ‘z8101ax-d’ on AliE for around 50 $. (https://www.aliexpress.com/w/wholesale-zbtlink-openwrt.html?spm=a2g0o.productlist.search.0)

I don’t know how long, and haven’t tried the product, but maybe some here have tried it ?

Great for Russians ! Nobody wants, or needs US/Capitalist propaganda/manipulation in the back door…

Odd and sus to include Russia for no particular reason…

Yeah, data can be beautiful - but is ugly if presented misleadingly. Only very little can be concluded from this ‘graph’ (without sources btw), but it is presented as if the inner west are the great core of enlightenment, spiraling out to the ‘dumber’ nations. The level of knowledge excellence is obviously related to the amount of dollu spent - which is nonsense. My equally valid opinion is that Western liberal/Capitalist education is exceedingly inefficient, and only optimized for wage-slavery. Notice how all the super ‘edumecated’ citizens from the west have been so easily propagandized to think that Russia is the bad guy. …China is the bad guy …socialism is bad …communism evil …Capitalism GREAT! We are the best!! …and so on and so on with similar infantile propaganda from the Capitalist elite. The average intellects in these ‘educated’ western nations is Embarrassing, and misinformation from constant propaganda doesn’t help much i’m afraid…

You need more than a llm to do that. You need a Cognitive Architecture around the model that include RAG to store/retrieve the data. I would start with an agent network (CA) that already includes the workflow you ask for. Unfortunately I don’t have a name ready for you, but take a look here: https://github.com/slavakurilyak/awesome-ai-agents

Not much help, but a quick search revealed this: https://github.com/nschlia/ffmpegfs

This seemed to be read-only tho, so not sure if it covers the use case you described. If you can program a little (AI help?) find a simple fuse filesystem in a language you know, fiddle with it and call ffmpeg or similar on receiving files.

Cheapest upgrade? Cram an old Android mobile in the USB port, and run a few services on that via Termux…

No offense to the citizens, but USA is a failed Capitalist experiment. Nothing really works optimally, or even close to it. Everything is backwards, wasteful, unjust, non-free, anti-democratic, and in general several hundred years behind more mature nations…

Image recognition, speech2txt, txt2speech, classification and such smaller models. They are fast but have no memory worth mentioning and are heavily dependent on data access speed. Afaik, transformer based models are hugely memory bound and may not be a good match if run on these externally via Usb3.

Oh, my… I followed a few subs on reddit. On lemmy I’ve only found https://lemmy.ml/c/degoogle but that’s also the biggest de-x movement afaik.

Creative! Maybe an idea for a foss python library/app ? It would be lovely to have a library/app that looks at a crowdsourced list of scum corps and what counter measures exists to migrate from them to any number of free non-capitalist services !

Atmo, we have de-google, de-m$, de-crapple and so on, but it’s a huge work to de-capitalize your life. We need to make that process simpler by automating it.

Didn’t know it, so from readme: Immich, a high performance self-hosted photo and video management solution.

More bloat ? Perhaps there’s other more important stuff to do ?

Hm, I would think users could get good value out grouping search subject and selecting the best engines for their need, and receive a good spread of results from a single search.

…also, our upcoming swarm of personal AI’s might benefit from such a selfhosted search service.

Not sure what the difference is to an Android ‘tv stick’, but tv sticks cost around 20$ (converted in head from danish kr) on aliexpress.

I wonder how many peeps blocked you before they reached line 3… :-)

If low on hw then look into petals or the kobold horde frameworks. Both share models in a p2p fashion afaik.

Petals at least, lets you create private networks, so you could host some of a model on your 24/7 server, some on your laptop CPU and the rest on your laptop GPU - as an example.

Haven’t tried tho, so good luck ;)

Not sure what the diff is, or what openness they have, which came first, why the next one was developed etc
