Any external NPU that can be hooked to a proxmox miniPC?

preview

Hi! So I’m considering…maybe having an NPU or something similar to be hooked to my proxmox server, which runs in a mini PC. It’s a EliteDesk 800 micro form factor. It has a Core i5 8500 CPU, which at the moment of purchase was good enough for live encoding HEVC video on Jellyfin…that was my main concern back then. But I’d like to consider the possibility of hooking maybe some docker instances or other containers to some local-only AI acceleration. Is there any NPU or cheap GPU I could hook on USB to this proxmox server to run? Has it been done before?

Thanks!

Cities are Replacing Flock with Axon / Motorola for their Mass Surveillance Network

cdn.social.linux.pizza
preview

Flock Safety became the protested brand. Axon Enterprise now sells Outpost and Lightpost readers that livestream and feed Axon Fusus; Fleet cameras scan plates from patrol cars. Motorola Solutions bought VaaS for $445 million in 2019 and kept Vigilant Solutions and Digital Recognition Network. The vendor changes, the mass surveillance network remains.

Cameras are not the only issue with surveillance systems like these. These devices can also log Audio, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and RFID and other signals your devices broadcast. Then they fuse data collected without warrants with commercial data-broker records and “AI”, to create a comprehensive database of everyone surveiled, who everyone is, what that are doing, and what they “will do”.

These are not just cameras or license plate readers, this is a surveillance network. It’s a violation of privacy and the 4th amendment, and we should not let this happen.

Anthropic Is Building a Predictive Surveillance System to Monitor Activists

The American Prospect Anthropic Is Building a Predictive Surveillance System to Monitor Activists - The American Prospect
preview

Job postings and interviews with senior security officials at Anthropic show that the frontier AI lab is building out an extensive monitoring system to keep tabs on activists who oppose the rapid development of artificial intelligence.

In addition to monitoring activists in the vicinity of Anthropic executives and keeping tabs on protests near physical Anthropic assets, the firm is also implementing a “pre-crime” approach, attempting to predict incidents before they happen. In some cases, that also means reporting suspects to police before a crime occurs. Anthropic did not respond to the Prospect’s request for comment.

Anthropic’s plans to surveil dissent are at odds with the firm’s efforts to cast itself as the responsible alternative to OpenAI. At the beginning of the year, the Department of Defense and Anthropic engaged in a high-profile dustup over Anthropic’s refusal to allow the military to use its tools for mass domestic surveillance and autonomous weapons. That tension seems to have eased as Anthropic hires for “national security sales” positions, seeking to restart military contracts. The increase in threat monitoring of domestic opponents fits with a renewed focus on national security.

Get stremio to play videos again on Linux Mint 22.3

preview

I had the following issue: Stremio would open normally and even load subtitles but would not load videos at all in Linux Mint 22.3. Other people on github have had the same issue.

You can revert to an older version like 1.1.4. by downloading it from the offical Github of the stremio linux shell. You can then install the flatpak by going into your downloads and typing the following commands into terminal:

cd ~/Downloads

flatpak install com.stremio.Stremio.Devel.flatpak

You then should stop the app from auto-updating with:

flatpak mask com.stremio.Stremio

I hope this helps anyone in my situation, I’m fairly new to using Linux and it took me some time. Also can you edit text on Lemmy to be in code block?
