Nei giorni scorsi ho letto un po' di cose su #Yunohost.

  • Nei giorni scorsi ho letto un po' di cose su .

    Ora... se io volessi passare al self hosting dovrei installarmi una mezza dozzina di applicazioni (posta, blog, istanza Friendica e poco altro).

    Volendo gestire solo una mezza dozzina di applicazioni non mi converrebbe lavorare direttamente sul server senza metterci Yunohost di mezzo? Anche lui alla fine è pur sempre un qualcosa che va curato, tenuto aggiornato, gestito in qualche modo e se mi è chiaro il vantaggio nel caso di una community che usa una ventina di applicazioni non mi è altrettanto chiaro il vantaggio nel caso di self hosting monoutente.

    Se le app sono poche la fatica di installarsele "a mano" è bassa e si evita il livello aggiuntivo introdotto da Yunohost.

    Cosa mi perderei se lavorassi direttamente su un VPS senza metterci Yunohost di mezzo?

    Non ho mai provato YunoHost. Facevo lo stesso discorso per Docker, e adesso ho tutte le applicazioni fuori il docker tranne immich che distribuisce solo così le sue build.
    Alla fine qualche semplificazione c'è: probabilmente diventa più facile per sviluppatori e utenti configurare tutto quello che serve.

    @De_Treias

    Con "qualche semplificazione c'è" ti riferisci a Yunohost?

    Sicuramente c'è, mi domandavo se dovendo gestire solo un DB tipo mySQL, un web server tipo Apache (Yunohost non usa Apache) e le 5-6 applicazioni che li usano, avesse senso aggiungere Yunohost.

    Fino ad ora ho usato solo hosting condiviso quindi nel passare ad un VPS dovrei gestire in più, rispetto ad ora, "solo" gli aggiornamenti del sistema operativo (che però sono automatici), quelli del web server, quelli del DB e configurare il firewall.

    Il lavoro da fare è questo, quanto sarebbe d'aiuto Yunohost e quanto sarebbe solo un SW in più di cui occuparmi? Non lo so.

  • @danjones000 @Matt_Noyes It does not hurt to try to reduce those emissions; reducing any emissions is good.

    But shaming people for using AI as if they are solely responsible for climate change is intellectually dishonest.

    There are plenty of other problems with AI; "burning up the planet" is not a convincing one.

  • Quieting Noisy Resistors

    [Hans Rosenberg] has a new video talking about a nasty side effect of using resistors: noise. If you watch the video below, you’ll learn that there are two sources of resistor noise: Johnson noise, which doesn’t depend on the construction of the resistor, and 1/f noise, which does vary depending on the material and construction of the resistor.

    In simple terms, some resistors use materials that cause electron flow to take different paths through the resistor. That means that different parts of the signal experience slightly different resistance values. In simple applications, it won’t matter much, but in places where noise is an important factor, the 1/f or excess noise contributes more to errors than the Johnson noise at low frequencies.

    [Hans] doesn’t just talk the math. He also built a simple test rig that lets him measure the 1/f noise with some limitations. While you might pretend that all resistors are the same, the test shows that thick film resistors produce much more noise than other types.

    The video shows some rule-of-thumb lists indicating which resistors have better noise figures than others. Of course, resistors are only one source of noise in circuits. But they are so common that it is easy to forget they aren’t as perfect as we pretend in our schematics.

    Want to learn more about noise? We can help. On the other hand, noise isn’t always a bad thing.

  • @danjones000 @Matt_Noyes electricity is only about 1/3 of global emissions. All data centers, including AI datacenters, are only 1% of electricity usage. That makes 0.3% of total emissions.

    Much more emissions are due to cars, meat, cement production and rice cultivation.

    I recognize that AI has a lot of electricity use; it is nothing compared to the other things you do with your time.

  • @evan@cosocial.ca The article that @Matt_Noyes@social.coop posted in the thread pretty clearly laid out the massive amount of electricity that AI data centers are using. That article isn't the only one saying the same thing. AI is using massive amounts of power.

    Traditional server racks consume 5-15 kW, while AI-optimized racks with high-performance GPUs require 40-60+ kW. Some cutting-edge AI training facilities are pushing individual racks to 100+ kW, fundamentally changing data center design and cooling requirements. (ref)

    It doesn't really matter if the power is coming from requests to the API, running the models, training the models, or making ritual sacrifices to Baphomet in hopes of making the models sentient.

    If someone is using AI, they are indirectly contributing to that power usage. If you can acknowledge that and make peace with it, fine. But, saying that the energy cost is minimal in light of this is ignoring reality.

    @projetslibres_podcast probablement mon épisode préféré à aujourd'hui ! J'adore l'idée de tendre le micro non seulement à celleux qui font du logiciel libre, mais aussi aux utilisateur.rice.s! En plus, cette conversation donne vraiment la patate! On sent l'enthousiasme de @_elena, ça donne envie de se lancer!

    @zeitverschreib Thanks! That's good to know. My self-hosted instance had SO MANY problems that it wasn't worth fixing... also: it locked me out so, no choice really but get rid of it 😢​

    Hello #Fediverse and Happy New Year!I'd like to mark the start of 2025 with the first message from my self-hosted instance. You may already know me as @_elena@mastodon.social. Well, now I also run my own #ActivityPub microblogging server, thanks to the magic of #YunoHost and #GoToSocial (and #Phanpy, which I'm using to compose this).I registered this domain – aseachange.com – a looooong time ago but never did anything with it. It was the very first domain name I ever bought, even before securing elenarossini.com (!!!). It was so long ago, but I remember I was inspired by Beck's album Sea Change. seachange[dot]com was taken, so I grabbed Aseachange.I absolutely love its meaning of profound transformation and I think it's PERFECT for my self-hosted #Fediverse instance and what it represents: independence, empowerment and digital sovereignty.Ever since setting it up, I've been feeling joyful and hopeful. Everytime I look at myself in the mirror, I think: I'm in control of my own social media platform. And it feels SOOO GOOD.What do I have in store for 2025? I plan to use this account to post messages about #selfhosting, learning #Linux, privacy and digital sovereignty.I will also keep posting from my Mastodon account because you don't give a Lamborghini to someone who just passed their driver's license. I barely know what I'm doing here, so I feel a lot safer (for now) keeping my mastodon.social account as well... In case anything goes wrong here. Better safe than sorry!So, this is my #Introduction and if you've read as far as here I just want to thank the Fediverse for being so amazing and allowing me to connect with people on my own terms. And thank you Fedi people for being so generous and supportive with your superb advice and kind words.This is a really magical, special place.Happy New Year, everyone!
