A friendly reminder to everyone to check out ArchiveBox if you're looking for a self-hosted archiving solution. I've been using it for a while now and it works great; it can be a little rough around the edges at times, but I think it's a wonderful tool. It's allowed me to continue saving pages during the Internet Archive's outage.

Also worth mentioning: osu!lazer has a native Linux build, whereas osu!stable still requires WINE to run on Linux. That's something I was very glad to see.

Use Mullvad, unless you absolutely require port forwarding.

I don't really understand these specs on a deep level, so I can't summarize them for you, but these articles should be able to answer any questions you have:

At this time, we feel our case for a defamation suit would be very strong; however, our deepest wish is to simply put all of this behind us.

The passive-aggressive bragging... this comes off as nonprofessional to me, like "we could sue the pants off this person if we wanted to". Why does the public even need to hear this part in particular? It sounds like something that should be privately communicated to the alleged defamer, not the public. It's a little odd in my opinion...

Regardless, I am interested in seeing the full report and I'll keep a close eye on this.

I would try what the other commenter here said first. If that doesn't fix your issue, I would try using the Forge version of WebUI (a fork of that WebUI with various memory optimizations, native extensions and other features): https://github.com/lllyasviel/stable-diffusion-webui-forge. This is what I personally use.

I use a 6000-series GPU instead of a 7000-series one, so the setup may be slightly different for you, but I'll walk you through what I did for my Arch setup.

Me personally, I skipped that Wiki section on AMD GPUs entirely and it seems the WebUI still respects and utilizes my GPU just fine. Simply running the webui.sh file will do most of the heavy lifting for you (you can see in the webui.sh file that it uses specific configurations and ROCm versions for different AMD GPU series like Navi 2 and 3)

1. Git clone that repo, git clone https://github.com/lllyasviel/stable-diffusion-webui-forge stable-diffusion-webui (the stable-diffusion-webui directory name is important, webui.sh's script seems to reference that directory name specifically)
2. From my experience it seems webui.sh and webui-user.sh are in the wrong spot, make symlinks to them so the symlinks are at the same level as the stable-diffusion-webui directory you created: ln stable-diffusion-webui/webui.sh webui.sh (ditto for webui-user.sh)
3. Edit the webui-user.sh file. You don't really have to change much in here, but I would recommend export COMMANDLINE_ARGS="--theme dark" if you want to save your eyes from burning.
4. Here's where things get a bit tricky: You will have to install Python 3.10, there is warnings that newer versions of Python will not work. I tried running the script with Python 3.12 and it failed trying to grab specific pip dependencies. I use the AUR for this; use yay -S python310 or paru -S python310 or whatever method you use to install packages from the AUR. Once you do that, edit webui-user.sh so that python_cmd looks like this: python_cmd="python3.10"
5. Run the webui.sh file: chmod u+x webui.sh, then ./webui.sh
6. Setup will take a while, it has to download and install all dependencies (including a model checkpoint, which is multiple gigabytes in size). If you notice it errors out at some points, try deleting the entire venv directory from within the stable-diffusion-webui directory and running the script again. This actually worked in my case, not really sure what went wrong...
7. After a while, the webUI will launch. If it doesn't automatically open your browser, then you can check the console for the URL, it's usually http://127.0.0.1:7860. Select the proper checkpoint in the top left, write down a test prompt and hopefully it should be pretty speedy, considering your GPU.

I assume 4chan does not sell your data with 3rd parties (it pays the bills from user donations and people who buy a '4chan pass', I think advertisers might've pulled out from the site long ago, given its vulgar nature) however it does appear to comply with law enforcement. See this 4chan user who was sending death threats to a Florida sheriff on 4chan, and was later arrested for this: https://www.thedailybeast.com/tyler-meyer-busted-for-threatening-sheriff-mike-chitwood-on-4chan

I believe it's possible that 4chan had given this user's IP address to law enforcement. 4chan records your IP address when you post, and only administrators can see it: https://4chan.org/faq#postanon

You can also look at the Wikipedia entry for 4chan, similar users have been arrested for making these death threats: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/4chan

I don't advocate for what these users do, it's harmful, and they honestly have it coming when they get arrested--but it shows that if 4chan is compelled to reveal your information, they will.

It's not possible to post under a VPN by default, they're blocked site-wide to combat spam and automated posts, even though there's already a captcha when you post? I guess they're just trying to play it extra safe. You can post under a VPN if you buy the 4chan pass (https://www.4chan.org/pass), however 4chan does not support any privacy-centric options like Monero or even cold hard physical cash, which means even if you post under a VPN, you can still be linked to your posts via payment method.

Me personally? I lurk on there every once in a while, but I've never posted, for these reasons. At least I can post under a VPN on Lemmy.

Yes, I torrent on the same machine where all my personal stuff is. The biggest reason for this is that I don’t have a dedicated machine to torrent 24/7, though I’d definitely like to set that up at some point. I like being able to seed niche torrents to those who need them, and a machine seeding 24/7 would definitely help with that. Also having easy simple access to the downloaded files is always a plus, but there’s a myriad of ways to do this over a local network (pretty sure some torrenting clients even have an option to torrent over LAN).

My torrent client is bound to my VPN’s network interface, and my VPN has a killswitch as well, so I’m not paranoid that things will suddenly leak. Been running this setup for months now without issues.

Yes, Proton Mail Bridge. I use it with KMail, works pretty well, I’d say.

Edit: I think this client is only for desktop, however. Android users will have to find another option.

zellij attach --create-background

Nice; this was the only thing preventing me from making a full switch from tmux to zellij.

In other news, the sky is blue…
