  • I would be careful with some of these providers depending on your usage.
    You are potentially sending a ton of info to them…

    I have access to Bing Chat Enterprise through my company, and only because its the Enterprise version i am half confident in using it with more restrictive data.
    Though the frontend of copilot is so heavy and sucks, so i have a proxy for GPT-API to Bing Chat.
    Had hoped GPT4All Bing provider would support login, but sadly not, so essentially had to reimplement it all myself.






  • Its nice to meet the team, start nornal conversations not necessarily bound by work.
    Getting to know the people in a way video calls rarely can fscilitate.
    BUT how often depends on the team, the distances, the company, and most importantly how often this happens.

    I really like my WFH, but its not a full WFH job, so we meet for important events like sprint planning every few weeks.
    But thats only 1-2 hours away and most of the commute is long distance train, so i can work that time and still get paid.
    Its nice seeing the team and other people in the company i would have never seen, it could be a bit less for me, maybe once a month would be better…

    I also think many people only have their work colleagues as contact and little real friends to meet with outside of work… after all one is paid and theother time you have to maintain your life constantly.


  • Better quality releases and more active users with much less leeches as they get thrown out.
    Though there are many site admins with some complex here too… your experience can vary.

    And of course you need to contribute to the community, most trackers will grant you buffer for both uploading and keeping the torrent running. You want something, then you have to give back.
    If the tracker doesnt give possebilities to build your buffer in multiple ways, other than just uploading, its usually a shit tracker.
    And some are just super hard to impossible to get into. Start small, wait for open signups or just go to new trackers, they might get bigger over time.
    Dont publicly beg for invites, you can humiliate yourself in private chats if you are into that.






  • So i understood you just want some local storage system with some fault tolerance.
    ZFS will do that. Nothing fancy, just volumes as either blockdevice or ZFS filesystem.

    If you want something more fancy, maybe even distributed, check out storage cluster systems with erasure coding, less storage wasted than with pure replication, though comes at reconstruction cost if something goes wrong.

    MinIO comes to mind, tough i never used it… my requirements seem to be so rare, these tools only get close :/
    afaik you can add more disks and nodes more or less dynamically with it.



  • Magic lock icon is easy, hard is it to block attacks and being able to do very little about it.
    Spoofed packets, server providers not caring what their customers do, many abuse email adresses dont even work.
    Keyless SSL would be nice and i’d use it. I have my own keys, but its for Enterprise customers only.

    I am not using Cloudflare as i dont like them handling like 80% of all traffic. But as website owner i can understand why someone would still choose them…



  • Its nice when you are deep in Microsoft already from your company and get BingChat Enterprise included anyways.
    Its slower than OpenAI GPT4 at times and its alot more restricted, but it gets the job done mostly.
    You need to hack the UI to make it nice, unlock longer inputs, disable search tool at-will, disable synthetic streaming responses (consistent token speed, but takes longer overall)

    Simple query via DDG, complex stuff and ChatBot stuff via BingChat Enterprise.
