If you want true privacy, don’t use technology, stay hidden, don’t hear/speak/see anything. Of course, then you’ll inevitably be a statistic of people trying to achieve true privacy, which often ironically puts you on lists of people who might be suspects of allegations… Just hope they don’t ever figure out a 100% accurate way to telepathically read your mind :)

Break-even in: Never

Nice, my hardware is doing pretty good! :3

Yeah Linux likes to fill the cache entirely. If you want it to do that less and performance isn’t a concern, set up something that drops the caches every few hours running this as root: echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches

My entire family still talks with eachother over SMS or phone call. Not everyone is on an app :P

I get good mileage out of the Jan client and Void editor, various models will work but Jan-4B tends to do OK, maybe a Meta-Llama model could do alright too. The Jan client has settings where you can start up a local OpenAI-compatible server, and Void can be configured to point to that localhost URL+port and specific models. If you want to go the extra mile for privacy and you’re on a Linux distro, install firejail from your package manager and run both Void and Jan inside the same namespace with outside networking disabled so it only can talk on localhost. E.g.: firejail --noprofile --net=none --name=nameGoesHere Jan and firejail --noprofile --net=none --join=nameGoesHere void, where one of them sets up the namespace (–name=) and the other one joins the namespace (–join=)

Yeah, some of what I wrote got removed by a mod too. In the modlog, here’s the link they provided as the reason why: https://lemmy.ml/comment/16469376

FUTO is both a company (LLC, to be specific) and a rich guy.

Is that what they were doing? I haven’t seen videos of them ‘platforming’ Curtis so I don’t know whether they were helping him proliferate any specific message

Based on FUTO’s own response, they don’t put logos on the front page to “simplify things”. I think that’s a little weird. Is source-available distinct from open source? Still not sure how that makes them “evil” though, starting to think user Novi Sad might have been making a joke by calling them evil, perhaps being playful.

Wow, he does sound pretty nasty, that’s messed up. I don’t see though how FUTO interviewing a bad person makes the organization evil though.

Oh, thanks, this is the first I’ve ever heard of Curtis Yarvin. Did he say anything bad during those opportunities to speak? I’m not sure it’s “evil” to interview someone.

Does anyone have a TLDR of Drew’s article here? I’ve seen enough of his keyboard-warrior frothing opinions and vitriolic rhetoric from his blog to avoid trusting it without some third party sources to back up his claims about things.

You should add screenshots to the repo and the README so people can see how it looks. Also, it’s not clear if this supports using locally hosted LLMs.

I was looking at https://open-smartwatch.github.io/gallery/gallery-main/ recently with some intrigue, if I had a 3d printer I’d consider building it

Generally if you want to combine full encryption with version control, your best bet would be instead to not use something like Forgejo, and instead do something like init a local git repo, commit like usual, then set up scripting that will tar.gz archive the entire repo, PGP encrypt the archive, and then upload that to a cloud provider’s file storage. That way, it’s got privacy (the archive is encrypted), it’s got version control (once decrypted and decompressed it goes back to being a folder with a git repo in it), and it’s backed up (via cloud file storage provider).

I’ve used Devuan before with decent success, I run it as a server on an ancient netbook with 1Ghz and 2GB RAM. Works pretty well, but bear in mind so much has become entangled with the expectations of systemd that as more packages get installed you may find things that break. As an example, apt gets an error every time it does anything because Mullvad VPN software has a configuration step that expects systemd functionality, and obviously that won’t work on Devuan. The program itself works fine, just have to start it a little differently, but it means that apt functionality always returns an error, which itself breaks any other scripts you may run that have steps that use apt. I had to do a lot of manual patching for PiHole scripting to get that installed because every time it would run anything with apt it thought there was a showstopping error simply because Mullvad complained during apt configurations.

That’s really cool, and very smart. Definitely a cut above the neocities one. I think I’ll swap over to use searloc as my default instead. Thanks for the clarification! :)
