  • At least in Germany it’s the same. It gets ignored in the discussions concerning nuclear exit but it’s actually the main reason why I’m not aggressively against it: we have save areas for nuclear storage but those fight bitterly to not have it. The areas which are currently used are… Not good. Paying someone else (such as Finland) is out of budget for both state and energy companies. The latter anyway want to do the running but not the maintenance and the building, state should pay for that.

    It’s really white sad for me. The (true) statement that the dangerous waste needs to be stored carefully got corrupted to “it can’t be stored”.




  • Who should do this vetting though? The internet was built up with the idea of technical neutrality - everything else came on top. TLDs came later and were used to either describe the origin of a page or its intended(!) use. That leads to the case that not only can a propaganda outlet mark itself as “info” - it’s actually historically correct to do so as it’s about what the host wants to communicate.

    ICANN, the organisation behind the TLDs, actually always struggles with this btw. A more recent example was the decision which domain should be reserved for local name services. It took y long time (I think years overall) to get to: .internal (edited, brainfart)











  • I’d try chat gpt for that! :)

    But to give you a very brief rundown. If you have no experience in any of these aspects and are self learning you should expect a long rampup phase! Perhaps there is an easier route but I’m not familiar with it if there is.

    First, familiarize yourself with server setups. If you only want to host this you won’t have to go into the network details but it could become a cause for error at one point so be warned! The usual tip here is to get yourself familiar enough with docker that you can read and understand docker compose files. The de facto standard for self hosting are linux machines but I have read of people who used Macos and even windows successfully.

    One aspect quite unique to themodel landscape is the hardware requirements. As much as it hurts my nvidia despicing heart at this point in time they are the de facto monopolist. Get yourself a card with 12GB VRAM or more (everything below will be painful if you get things running at all. I’ve tried and pulled or smaller models on a 8GB card but experienced a lot of waiting time and crashes). Read a bit about Cuda on your chosen OS and what their drivers need.

    Once you can understand this whole port, container, path mapping and environment variable things.

    Then it’s going to the github page linked, following their guide and starting a container. Loading models is actually the easier part once you have the infrastructure running.


  • No offense intended, possible that I miss read your experience level:

    I hear a user asking developer questions. Either you go the route of using the publicly available services (dalle and Co) or you start digging into hosting the models yourself. The page you linked hosts trained models to use in your own contexts, not for a “click button and it works”.

    As a starting point for image generation self hosting I suggest https://github.com/AUTOMATIC1111/stable-diffusion-webui.

    For the training part, I’ll be very blunt: if you don’t indent to spend five to six digit sums on hardware or processing power, forget it. And even then you’d need the raw training data to pull it of.

    Perhaps what you want to do use fine tune a pretrained model, that’s something I only have a. It of experience in LLMs thohfn(and even there I don’t have the hardware to get beyond a personal proof of concept).
