filister, to opensource in A true open source alternative to N8N / Zapier / etc?

And I am using it almost every day and believe me I am writing a lot of code in those function nodes.

As soon as you want something more complicated that’s not covered by the nodes, you need to write your own code. And then debugging this code or version controlling it becomes a nightmare.

Anyone who played it? It sounds interesting and different, but not sure if this equals to worth buying.

Don’t go into that rabbit hole called Node-Red. You will end up writing a lot of code, and node.js isn’t the best scripting language, and my suggestion is to just write a simple Python script.

Debugging is hell, version control is hell, it doesn’t have VSCode integration, plus sometimes it has some weird bugs, when you forget to clean up headers, etc. and it can truly make you crazy.

If you need something super simple and it has a good integration, you might consider it, but for anything more complex, stick to Python, or some other scripting language you are familiar with.

So what’s the performance difference between the open source NVK driver and their proprietary one?

filister, to opensource in Nvidia tries to kill CUDA translation layers | Tom's Hardware

Yes, I am running NixOS with Hyprland at the moment as a trial and most things were pretty well. I know that open source NVIDIA drivers are crap especially if you want to run Wayland, but I am more interested into the AI/ML side as I want to play a bit with open weight LLMs, and Pytorch. I used to do some AI with Tensorflow, but I would like to learn more about Pytorch.

I used to have an older AMD card in the past that I borrowed from a friend and tried to install Rocm and it was an absolute disaster. That was around COVID and even though I consider myself fairly familiar with Linux and very comfortable around the command line, I didn’t make it work back then.

The majority of the opinions I have also read were just pointing out that CUDA is just plug and play and Rocm is a lot of tinkering. And I think I am simply too old and tired of this constant tinkering and I would prefer something that will simply just work out of the box.

I really hate NVIDIA and don’t like the company but still consider them with something like i3, just to have some peace of mind and know that everything works out of the box with their proprietary drivers.

How easy it is to install and configure Rocm and also how limiting it is? I also heard about ZLUDA, etc. and I very much want to pick AMD as my next GPU, especially considering the fact that I am using Wayland, but I think they are still far behind NVIDIA?

filister, to games in The idea that the Manor Lords dev should 'just hire 50 people' to update it faster is 'fundamentally not the way things work,' says publisher

Tell that to Apple

filister, to opensource in it is what it is

Neofetch creator, is that you?

filister, to lemmyshitpost in Google Gemini is really bad.

Hmmm, I tend to disagree. You know garbage in, garbage out.

I have not much experience with Gemini, but I used Pro 1.5 for analysing videos and it performed surprisingly well.

filister, to opensource in What are some good Overleaf (Latex) alternatives?

This, I also used to create a CV in typist, after a really frustrating experience with LaTeX and the difference is night and day.

And the best part is that errors are actually understandable, so you can actually fix them

filister, to world in US says Israeli army units violated human rights

Mind you these human rights violations happened before the war. The lives of Palestinians were never rosy under Israel’s occupation.

Israel has been treating them as livestock for a long time and every time they were opposing they were crushed really hard. Simply the rest of the world cared too little about them and apart from a couple of strong worded statements of some states.

So in a way Hamas is reaction to this ill reatment and I dare say that if they have respected them and managed to find some peaceful agreement and treated them respectfully, this was and Hamas would have never occurred.

filister, (edited ) to world in US says Israeli army units violated human rights

The US state department has found five units of the Israeli military responsible for gross violations of human rights in individual incidents, but says they will continue to receive US military backing.

Wow, just wow, textbook representation of double standards. Mind you this has happened before the current war there, and imagine how many unspeakable human rights violations have been committed by this so-called most moral army in the world, and what we do, nothing, absolutely f****** nothing.

Seems like the US is the lapdog of Israel.

Israel investigated the battalion over the death of 80-year-old Palestinian-American Omar Assad who died after being bound and gagged by soldiers during a West Bank village search in 2022.

At the time the US called for a “thorough criminal investigation and full accountability”.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) later said they regretted Mr Assad’s death, and a commander would be “reprimanded” and two soldiers barred from senior positions for two years - but would not be prosecuted.

It sounds about the right level of scrutiny. You allegedly tortured and killed a man, and the commander was “reprimanded” and two solders barred from senior positions for TWO whole years. Damn, I think that’s even too harsh on those most moral soldiers. And mind you, this is only a problem, because the said victim was Palestinian American, if he was Palestinian, nothing would have happened.

filister, to privacy in Thoughts on the Notesnook v3 update?

Yes, that last thing is a deal breaker for me. No open source tool is trying to lock you in. That’s the whole idea of open source.

filister, to world in US vetoes widely supported resolution backing full UN membership for Palestine

You mean exactly what Israel is doing right now? Because they don’t seem fazed by the high civilian casualties or the dire humanitarian situation in Gaza.
