I get hindi and english newspapers at my home and the hindi one says cloudburst and the English one gives three possible theories;

  1. Heavy rain
  2. Landslide/Avalanche
  3. Earthquake that occurred on Tuesday

Well, you see my parents and grandparents don't understand the concept of ads fully, especially in case of YouTube Shorts. After a few instances of them sharing the ads, thinking they were regular content, i just got the family plan.

At least check what the conflict is about...

While I personally don't like the BJP and they are at fault to some extent, this conflict has nothing to do with Hindu nationalists. This is about ethnic groups, people from different religions can belong to same ethnic group.

There had been rising tension between the two communities for the past few years, which sparked into a full grown conflict when the High Court of the state ordered the state government to make a decision regarding the reservation status of the majority community.

The state government didn't end up making a decision in the given timeframe, but both communities were up in arms about it, the majority community in favour and the minority community against it, this resulted in small skirmishes followed by a full on conflict.

Uhm, what? Dwarka's societies don't really have a land encroachment issue. Most of them were built by DDA and other cooperative housing societies. There are other posh areas where land encroachment is an issue but Dwarka's societies aren't one of them.

Government land doesn't mean, you can just show up and build your house there .For example there has been land which was under ASI, which is land under various monuments. There are many monuments whose land is encroached by both the poor and rich. Both are wrong, be they rich/poor, when removing such encroachment it has been fair for the most part (The only really bad cases which come to my mind are, high level government officials just having big mansions built there). This is the case for forest land as well as land coming under various departments of the government.

Many a times the land has been left there for a reason, for future development, parks, forest land, etc. Land encroachment causes a lot of issues. Also being homeless doesn't mean they can just build a house wherever they please. You would not be okay if someone one day just shows up and builds a house on the road right in front of your house.

It is known to the people who are building their homes and livelihoods that what they are doing is illegal and there way of life can be destroyed any day, because what they are doing is illegal. The Government for a really long time had been understanding of their situation and just let them be, providing them with basic services on the encroached land. This doesn't mean that they are right, it just means that they have their house another day.

Also, it isn't technically correct to call these people homeless, most of them are migrant workers that came here to find better work opportunities. they found work and decided it was better to stay on unauthorized land nearby than to find legal housing which may be further away from their work. Rent in these shanties is pretty similar to legally available housing.

You go to install the debian live install on another usb and point installation to the desired usb? I think that should do it and you will have a persistent debian install.

If you are planning to use this for the long term there maybe a few better options, because the usb will die very quickly if you use it to run your os.

  • Use an external ssd, you can get a case for m.2 ssd use that with a m.2 ssd. They are the most compact after a usb drive.

  • Use external HDD, while slower it's also an option.

  • WSL? This is something.

  • Assuming by drivers you mean drive, backup all data on your drive, format drive, ensure drive no longer encrypted, install windows and Linux.

I have used it mainly for dreambooth, textual inversion and hypernetworks, just using it for stable diffusion. For models i have used the base stable diffusion models, waifu diffusion, dreamshaper, Anything v3 and a few others.

The 0.79 USD is charged only for the time you use it, if you turn off the container you are charged for storage only. So, it is not run 24/7, only when you use it. Also, have you seen the price of those GPUs? That 568$/month is a bargain if the GPU won't be in continuous use for a period of years.

Another important distinction is that LLMs are a whole different beast, running them even when renting isn't justifiable unless you have a large number of paying users. For the really good versions of LLM with large number of parameters you need a lot of things than just a good GPU, you need at least 10 of the NVIDIA A100 80GB (Meta's needs 16 https://blog.apnic.net/2023/08/10/large-language-models-the-hardware-connection/) running for the model to work. This is where the price to pirate and run yourself cannot be justified. It would be cheaper to pay for a closed LLM than to run a pirated instance.

The point about GPU's is pretty dumb, you can rent a stack of A100 pretty cheaply for a few hours. I have done it a few times now, on runpod it's 0.79 USD per HR per A100.

On the other hand the freely available models are really great and there hasn't been a need for the closed source ones for me personally.

Why not build a new PC or buy an old pc? One with ryzen 5 5600G, 8gb Ram, 250GB ssd should cost ~250USD whether you buy new/old, i recently checked the prices, cause I needed one and they were similar. This should take you a long way. As for storage just pick a case with enough ssd/harddisk slots.

You can also go much cheaper depending on what you get.

The advantage is you can add a GPU like the intel A380 for av1 encoding of video if you feel like you need it.

For OS depending on what you are doing there are a few choices:

  • True nas: mid difficulty
  • debian: i just use this with docker, does the job
  • alma linux/Rocky linux
  • ubuntu
  • yunohost: if you would be interested in hosting activitypub apps, easy
  • casaos: easy

I had a question about email.

I am currentl, routing(Cloudflare Email Routing) my email to a Yahoo mail account, basically all incoming email gets routed to my yahoo, and from Yahoo I can send email with my custom address as the sender address.

As far as I am aware I have a daily limit of 200 emails and 1tb storage, all this for free.

Would such a service not be better for your purpose too? Are there certain advantages to paying for an email provider?
