Open source is in general wrong term in all of these “open source” LLM’s (like LLAMA and R1), the model is shared, but there is no real way of reproducing the model. This is because the training data is never shared.

In my mind open source means that you can reproduce the same binary from source. The models are shared for free, but not “open”.

Yeah, if the ones and zeros arent in your drive, it can disappear at any point from the internet.

You can add IPS to port to add some security checking, but yes, in general port is never secure or unsecure.

I have been using Windows for 30 years and Linux for 25 years (debian since 99’). I really would not bash (pun intended) windows users so much, there is place for both of them.

Coral Acceletor is only needed if you run setup that does not have GPU or enough CPU. Spare laptop usually has enough power to handle AI detection, but RasPi doesn’t. I run mine in CPU at rack server.

Cameras own detections are limited in my experience, and it is much harder to integrate to anything else, like HomeAssistant for notification & automation

HomeAssistant + Frigate combo is just plain awesome. You can leverage the automations of HA through Frigate’s AI detection, so you get things like notifications.

CrowdStrike Falcon is XDR product, there is hundreds of similar products available.

The role of XDR is to detect and block if some bad actor is trying to do something malicious in the machine. Old school virus signature detection is not enough anymore, you need pattern detection from network communication/DNS queries etc.

When corporation has thousands of devices to monitor the OS each of those devices Is not relevant. You need to detect if some random user logs to some Linux info display thousand kilometers away, and starts scanning the network.

Because the detection and response, needs to happen near realtime, for example Incase of cryptolockers, where all devices are encrypted within seconds, the software blocking this needs kernel level access.

I work in critical infrastructure as IT, but luckily we did not use falcon

Those fuses that can be changed by home owner themself have not existed in 20 years, all are automatic that you just flip from the panel. Fuse size is calculated based on the width of the cable, so if current gets too high the fuse just flips, so the cable doesn’t melt.

Edit: as a counter part, if you plug multiple high usage components on same cable, the individual device/plug fuse does not blow, but the cable can melt inside the wall.

This is why both (fuse+GFCI) are put to the line and located in the electrical cabinet.

Schuko (type F) is better than the UK plug. UK plug is huge, and schuko has same safety features, except the fuse, which is not needed if your houses would be build better.

In my 20’s, a girl in bar queue told me that she knows how to compile kernel from the source. I asked her to marry me instantly, but unfortunately she was not available.

I assume all vpn services accessible from china are run by government and they monitor the traffic

GPT4 was able to explain that
