  • It isn't hitting it locally is the issue. Not an uncommon problem with plex unfortunately, its going out to come back in, so the server and client see it as remote.

    Without playback you wouldn't even be able to see that in the dashboard, which just makes the direction Plex is going so much more problematic.

    Like I said, better off using JF.

  • Remote, yes, they announced you need Plex pass one side or the other for it to work.

    Local, no, that shouldn't happen. Your device isn't reaching your Plex server locally.

    To work around the remote issue, you can VPN to your local network.

    But you're better off in the long haul with Jellyfin as you're doing now.

  • Maybe it'll detect it as mass storage media and give it access to the built in audio system.

    It won't. Both will be acting as host, so thats not going to work out.

    What car do you have?

    Else, I'll just use a bluetooth speaker I have at home. I don't need good audio for "turn left/turn right", just to hear it.

    Didn't you want to use it for your music as well with navidrome?

    I've had Waze become useless three times in the span of two years because they pushed updates that made the app unstable enough to not be reliable.

    CoMaps may be up your alley, uses OSM.

    I'll try the recovery mode for my phone and see if that helps!

    Hope that works for you regardless, it was an absolute pain when my wife's phone update (Samsung) broke android auto and Bluetooth connections. Especially since I just bought the car a few weeks before.

  • How do you plan to get audio in? Bluetooth? Wired audio input?

    In your first post you were calling it a head unit, which would replace everything. Given the picture, you have a more fully integrated android auto compatible system rather than a traditional head unit, so I understand why the other commenter pointed to that - its similar to what I would have suggested, which would be to get a din cover appropriately sized, then cut out for a screen.

    So the question becomes how do you want to hear and/or see? That would decide placement requirements. For example, I have a nice spot in the passenger seat I could easily hide it behind a panel under the dash, but the audio input I'd have to bring over to the armrest. So I'd run a cable under the carpet to the aux input, bring it up the side of the armrest and plug it in.

    FWIW, your phone may work nicely by rebooting into recovery and wiping the cache partition. That resolved things for my wife and her car, no issues or trouble since.

  • In this case, yes. Vance Boelteris the suspected murderer, an evangelical who also did private security (among other... Weird things).

    The vehicle he drove was black with lights on top styled after the police, and had a plate that said "Police" on it.

    He is not, however, a police officer, and never has been.

  • Not the person you're asking but personally I use Jetson nano for some work stuff (and when I upgrade the "old" one is mine), odroid I've used for some misc creations and testing, and I'm personally looking forward to trying the radxa x4 as an htpc.

    What I am really excited about right now is tossing my recently acquired spare jetson nano on a drone, right now I'm setting it up to walk around with it and test CV before it gets mounted up on the drone.

  • It seems like your faith is much higher than mine that people are vetting the AI tools they use, or that they exclusively use their own works as training material.

    Here vs other instances? Absolutely, yes, more would be. That said, that isn't what I said - I said they exist, and that people here would predominantly be running locally. Personally I train my own models, but I don't presume everyone else is. That doesn't change the core of the issue in your comments - the complaints are about capitalism, genai is just the context for that.

    From what I can tell, our stable diffusion art communities make no distinction between training sets, nor do they require that shared images be trained on public-domain or user-owned data only. Given that, I don’t think it’s completely unreasonable that people are equating stable diffusion users with users generating their content on the big models that were indiscriminately fed the entire internet. There’s no way to easily tell.

    There mostly aren't ways to tell, so there would be no requirement of that. Add to that this being an instance that would support taking the models from corporations and not using their systems to run them and that being taking away from corporations, yeah, I'd bet some do.

    That doesn't really change capitalism being the root of the problem though, does it?

    Here are a few of the topics I think need to be examined more, both by human society at large, and by AI-art communities especially:

    • What does “good artists borrow, great artists steal” mean when the artist in question is modulating their output by inhuman means - parsing millions of images in ways that are physical impossibility? I think that’s worth interrogating.
    • What say do living artists get in who uses their work in training sets, and how should that be respected? Is ignorance of publicly-stated wishes an acceptable excuse? How should this be moderated?
    • How do we assign value (cultural, economic, personal, sentimental, or any other) to creative works? I think arguably that both human-created and generative AI art are the product of thousands of years of human creative output, but they’re vastly different in terms of the skill, types of knowledge, and time required to create one piece.

    I think these are fantastic questions! I also wouldn't call them anti-ai, which is the part I was calling out. The anti-ai folks think that think any and all use of these models is somehow wrong, and then answer with an issue that at its root is just "capitalism is the problem" is what I was calling out.

    And it worries me that a lot of people seem pretty inclined to dismiss criticism of AI use as frivolous or reactionary, or couch it as a base refusal to adapt or learn new technologies. Especially when the people driving policy around the largest implementations of that technology are the ones who are the least principled in its deployment.

    I don't believe I said anything like that, what I did was say that bringing up something that boils down to "capitalism" doesn't make sense as a reason to bring up on this instance, and its what many anti-ai folks do. I think the questions you had above are exactly the type that should be welcomed and explored, but if someone is coming to a community hosted here to just complain about genai and downvote things because they don't like that - well, thats equally as uninformed and unhelpful.

    But I worry that if we don’t have this kind of discussion here, where people are (maybe, optimistically/flatteringly) more judicious in their use of AI than elsewhere - if we don’t have clear, principled guidelines, then the prevailing attitudes are ultimately going to wind up being those of Microsoft, Google, OpenAI, or fucking Grok.

    I think discussions are great!

    I just think people immediately spewing off "Ugh AI" or "slop" or whatever is not productive and has no place on this instance.

    For now though, unless I know that someone is using models trained on their own work, or at least public-domain works, I feel like I’m crossing a picket line, and I don’t like that.

    And you absolutely can feel that way, 100%.

    What would be inappropriate would be the above comments because of a complete lack of being informed that some people do train their own models, do use public domain works, etc, or complain about the non-public domain works for a reason that boils down to a persistent problem - capitalism - and just saying its genai that is the problem, not the capitalistic nonsense behind those large corporations abusing everyone's work and then selling it.

  • I'd have no way of gathering those numbers, but considering what this instance is all about, I'd feel comfortable saying the numbers would lean heavily toward locally run.

    There is even an ai horde here run entirely with volunteered compute.

    Here's a two year old post about it.

    Short version, from admin down to lowly users like myself, the people on dbzer0 are all about locally run (and sometimes publicly shared) approaches to genai.

    Edited to add: And yes, thats exactly what I use my own genai stuff for primarily, tools to make my life easier. I have a model I've trained on my own writing (mostly white papers, blog posts, and emails) to generate responses to emails - including for my work.

    Its still a WIP unfortunately, but its getting better as I tweak.

  • You seem to believe that all of the genai platforms are Gemini, copilot, etc.

    This is decidedly untrue.

    There are many models built entirely on public domain works, not made by or for the benefit of any corporation or business entity.

    I have personally built models (not llm, thats not my use case) for identifying certain movement patterns in animals. I have made others to identify problems in audio.

    The sampled data is all mine. There is no company backing it, no corporate overlord.

    Capitalism is not involved.

    In what way is it a "tool of the ownership class" for me to use my own models for my own use?

    In the same vein, in what way are generative ai models, developed on readily available, public domain materials, provided equally to all possible both as the model (as well as available processing for free as you'll find here) a "tool of the ownership class"?

    I'm not trying to be dismissive here, but what it sounds like to me is that you have limited knowledge of these solutions, and are suggesting all of them are owned by MS/Google/Meta/OpenAI/etc, and that isn't remotely accurate.

    Thats like saying I shouldn't use a wrench I made in my metal shop at home, because Snap-On makes wrenches, so wrenches are a tool of the ownership class.
