Piracy isn’t theft though.

Why would you reply without reading my entire post? Like why? What do you get out of it?

This is the point everyone downvoting me seems to be missing. OP wanted something comparable to the responsiveness of chat.chatgpt.com... Which is simply not possible without insane hardware. Like sure, if you don't care about token generation you can install an LLM on incredibly underpowered hardware and it technically works, but that's not at all what OP was asking for. They wanted a comparable experience. Which requires a lot of money.

Alpine is my daily driver. Been that way for 2-3 years now.

  • AMD Ryzen 5 7600x
  • 32GB DDR5
  • NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4060

It's not just for underpowered hardware. 🤷‍♂️

IIRC (could be wrong) the closet was unlocked. So can we really call that "breaking and entering?"

Yeah, I think he setup his laptop in a private server room to ensure that he had maximum speeds, so they called it criminal trespassing.

Such a fucked up incident.

Correct. If space is such a big problem for you that it's unconscionable to use a 4U mini rack (which again, like what the fuck), then mounting hardware on the wall is a completely valid option. It'll take up zero floor space.

If somebody needs to have services accessible by someone else besides him, that service can’t be behind a VPN

Again, this is the reason VPNs exist. If that person needs access, then setup Wireguard...

It's like saying you don't need a front gate with an access code because then you would have to give out your own access code. But I mean, the lock has the ability to setup more access codes. And you're saying the only viable option is the leave the gate open and hire a guard to manage access. It's just... Weird and wrong.

Youtube Music doesn’t just serve the audio from a video.

Yes it does. You don't even need to take my word for it. Look up any song by any artist and find their official video for that song. Take this one as an example: https://youtu.be/kPa7bsKwL-c

Analyze it with yt-dlp or something similar;

249 webm  audio only      2 │    1.51MiB    50k https │ audio only           opus        50k 48k low, webm_dash
250 webm  audio only      2 │    2.00MiB    67k https │ audio only           opus        67k 48k low, webm_dash
251 webm  audio only      2 │    3.92MiB   130k https │ audio only           opus       130k 48k medium, webm_dash
233 mp4   audio only        │                   m3u8  │ audio only           unknown             Default
234 mp4   audio only        │                   m3u8  │ audio only           unknown             Default
140 m4a   audio only      2 │    3.90MiB   129k https │ audio only           mp4a.40.2  129k 44k medium, m4a_dash

YouTube already has access to the audio for that song without any additional effort because of how YouTube works. I'm sure publishers can provide higher quality audio, up to 256Kbps but that option isn't even enabled for users by default. By default you're listening to "normal" audio or 130Kbps: https://i.xno.dev/Ow2eC.png

The reason why YouTube Music works is because they already have access to a huge library of music through music videos and the like. They save a ton of time and money by doing things this way and it makes perfect sense that they do...

I mean, I'm sure that it is less supported, but in all the years I've been using it I haven't found one. 🤷‍♂️

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

Nice! Glad you got it working. There shouldn't be any significant performance increase, but there's at least a tiny one. lmao.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago

Pretty much anyone outside the US will ignore the DMCA, since it’s solely American law.

This only applies for non-enterprise. There are hundreds of enterprise businesses who also do business in the US which are required to also follow US laws. So you could have a UK, or Sweden based business who has branches in the US, who also have to follow US law.

It's not quite as cut and dry as you're making it out to be.

I preach this to people everywhere I go and seldom do they listen. There's no reason for object storage for a non-enterprise environment. Using it in homelabs is just...mostly insane..
