@Obsolesce said in OpenAI ChatGPT 4.1 vs 4.5 Models:

@travisdh1 o3 is for the best advanced reasoning.

Right o series are reasoning models. GPT are intelligence models. o for strategy, GPT for tactics.

@scottalanmiller said in Ubuntu Server "Search Domains":

It's not a LInux thing, it's a general networking thing so the same on desktops, Windows, wherever.

This is correct. If I recall right, within the Windows network config GUI, it's called a "domain suffix.".

Sounds right.

I wish I thought that means that firmware updates will no longer be held behind a paywall.

@gjacobse said in Recommendation for home WiFi router:

@JaredBusch
the UniFi Express 7 looks pretty decent in capacity and features - and likely a contendor replacement for the UniFi Lite Router I have since my NTG days. Has that really been ten years ago now?

I will say I sort of feel that they seriously missed the mark in the design. Seems that USB-C has to be shoved into everything - but seriously - why!!??

They could have easily put the PSU into the unit and only had the AC power cable. True, the unit shouldn't need to be moved once in place. But,.. really? Get real - Just because USB--C can do so much, doesn't mean that you need to use it everywhere - especially when all you are suppling is 5v. Incorporate the whole thing and it'll be a better format.

That said,.. I'm still likely to move to something like it or this in the future.

I had a location with a UniFi Lite router that died around a year ago. Upgrading to the UniFi Express doubled their throughput with QOS enabled. Went from 300MB download to 600MB. Upload is limited because of the cable connection.

@EddieJennings yeah, that would be nice for sure.

@scottalanmiller said in Proxmox backup to remote PBS over Zerotier:

If you haven't played with it for tiny scale stuff, TailScale makes this SO easy to do.

I do have a TailScale account, but didn't think of it because I already had some other stuff at the location already on Zerotier.

If you need to remote into a Windows machine and get a list of printers without interrupting the user, this powershell command is quick and easy...

Thinking of using my newly bought Raspberry Pi Pico from https://robocraze.com/collections/raspberry-pi for an IoT project. Which programming language would be best? Suggestions welcome!

version v1.9.2 now out. Been running this panel since 2021. Free webhosting panel without the fees of cpanel. Recently just moved users to a new VPS with Ubuntu 24.04

@gjacobse Thanks, I have tried the recommended ones from Microsoft, the diskpart now shows it is out of "read only" , but it is a false reading. I can access some of the data ( most data is saved to server)m but users always know better (LOL). Next I will try dd and see how that goes, I suspect I may (low probability) be able to "fix" the installation after running dd. Thanks again. I was hoping for something I had not heard/seen.

As you know almost all drivers are a part of the kernel itself. There isn't a way to "export" them in the way that you're thinking -- at least not that I'm aware. If you installed a package that included a 3rd party hardware driver, perhaps you can just download the rpm or deb file from its repo to back it up. Some kernel modules (or groups of kernel modules) are the drivers for some hardware, and you could potentially backup those files to load later. I haven't had hardware that has required special kernel modules that would create that situation.

To be honest, if that system crashes, reinstalling your Linux distribution will be your method of getting drivers for your hardware :).
