you’re doing good, friend!

thank you :)

oh you’ll get this reply from me in any community that you’ll attack without attempting to join.

MAM is one of the friendliest places in existence and instead of interacting with the people and just asking for help the statement is “you all suck”.

we’re not taking about elitist bullshit but about entitlement. My tone was way more friendly than the one OP chose after all, consciously though.

If they’d said “I don’t know what to do” the answer would’ve been very different.

Your comment is just … fitting. Calling me a representation for a cancerous behavior that I called out in OP: unreflective entitlement “my ways are correct”.

I don’t engage with private tracker communities beyond mam for that reason:

single sentence judgments, no explanations, blaming others…

this is a “you” problem, not a platform one.

not a single rule there exists that’s not rooted in technological limitations and choices.

no, it’s not about “just seeding back”, it’s also about protecting the community from people - frankly - like you who don’t bother to look into CSVs or platform limitations.

What you call “freedom” is a claim to do whatever you want no matter the impact on others.

the shout box on MAM would have helped you with setting up or any questions you might have.

but I don’t see any questions, just complaints qjd entitlement with question marks at the end.

Yeah but that doesn’t solve OPs problem re/ proton - what I meant was that perhaps there is no Netherlands server that provides their random port forwarding or it gets a hickup with it.

If you refer to me not using proton:

The port forwarding is not the main reason (that’s their C level weirding me out) - and for the port forwarding specifically: It’s not (only/mainly) qbittorrent I want port forwarding for :)

I don’t use proton so can’t validate but two things stand out to me:

• port forwarding: one of the reasons I don’t use proton: port forwarding is limited for them, both for specific servers as well as randomized ports. First test: drop the port forwarding.
• wireguard vs openvpn: download a wireguard config from proton and test that.

Good luck!

With torrents you’re limited to the networks and sources that you have connected. The torrent client search for example is very limited, that’s where the trackers come in.

The question is how debris compares to stuff that is not found on public trackers.

An easy test are niche audiobooks or foreign movies - those are quite rare/specialized.

I wouldn’t say that Germany is the worst.

Because my request to do so is pending since '09.

I’d try chat gpt for that! :)

But to give you a very brief rundown. If you have no experience in any of these aspects and are self learning you should expect a long rampup phase! Perhaps there is an easier route but I’m not familiar with it if there is.

First, familiarize yourself with server setups. If you only want to host this you won’t have to go into the network details but it could become a cause for error at one point so be warned! The usual tip here is to get yourself familiar enough with docker that you can read and understand docker compose files. The de facto standard for self hosting are linux machines but I have read of people who used Macos and even windows successfully.

One aspect quite unique to themodel landscape is the hardware requirements. As much as it hurts my nvidia despicing heart at this point in time they are the de facto monopolist. Get yourself a card with 12GB VRAM or more (everything below will be painful if you get things running at all. I’ve tried and pulled or smaller models on a 8GB card but experienced a lot of waiting time and crashes). Read a bit about Cuda on your chosen OS and what their drivers need.

Once you can understand this whole port, container, path mapping and environment variable things.

Then it’s going to the github page linked, following their guide and starting a container. Loading models is actually the easier part once you have the infrastructure running.

No offense intended, possible that I miss read your experience level:

I hear a user asking developer questions. Either you go the route of using the publicly available services (dalle and Co) or you start digging into hosting the models yourself. The page you linked hosts trained models to use in your own contexts, not for a “click button and it works”.

As a starting point for image generation self hosting I suggest https://github.com/AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui.

For the training part, I’ll be very blunt: if you don’t indent to spend five to six digit sums on hardware or processing power, forget it. And even then you’d need the raw training data to pull it of.

Perhaps what you want to do use fine tune a pretrained model, that’s something I only have a. It of experience in LLMs thohfn(and even there I don’t have the hardware to get beyond a personal proof of concept).

Gib dem doch noch mal ein paar Jahre! Bei keinem Trend ist Deutschland schnell dabei, warum sollte es hier anders sein?

Thanks for the clarification! A wish you an awesome start into the week :)

Preventing teenage pregnancy by obfuscating sex has the same idea.

I agree with the boundaries part. The second part though: they will figure it out either way… At least my brother did when he was young and our parentsgot a nice lawyer in voice for that (fucked up laws, I know, I know).

Personally I want them to learn about ransomware! If that cost me a PC… My fault.
