I’ve kind of given up on the concept of email as a whole. Nobody emails anymore. Nobody in my family uses email, I’ve never had a friend who emails me, I’m the weirdo for asking for an email address so I can email you a calendar invite because I’m a weirdo for using the calendar…
Maybe it’s just been my experience but does anyone actually use email? And if so what about everyone else’s security?
Always love to see the Nix flake support
The same advantages as all free and open source solution, it’s free and open source. That means how much it’s going to cost to your business is directly under your control. You can make a decision on how you acquire hardware based on your business’s needs. If you want to add or change features you can decide how to do that based on the deals you have with your programmers (like pick the developer you have with the best skills and the lowest cost), and then you get to control how much it costs you and how reliable the result is going to be.
If you feel like the support you get from customer service from Amazon or Google or Microsoft is reliable enough and you don’t need more reliability then go ahead and stick with paid products. But if you already have a team of really expensive and talented engineers you might as well let them solve problems with free and open source equipment.
I wish Rocket Chat got more attention
I am 100% open to exploring other equally zero effort alternatives if only I had the time CURSE being an adult (ノಠ益ಠ)ノ . Is there anything better I should use, hopefully using existing ssh keys please.
I still use sshfs. I can’t be bothered to set up anything else I just want something that works out of the box.
Oh my gawd what a README!! I’m on my phone and I was trying to scroll back to the top of it from the bottom and I just kept on scrolling… Holy shit I’m going to put this on my kanban board give it proper attention
Love to see the flake.nix at the root of the project
I’m working on self-hosting my own LLMs.
I realized there are things I wanna talk about and research but I don’t want to send it to open AI. Frankly I feel gross about how much I’ve sent to open AI. My desktop is a beefy gaming rig that I don’t use for gaming much. I have a 20thread core, 64gb ram, an Nvidia gtx 3060 and 5 spare TB so why not.
Now I want to work on giving the LLM access to my Google calendar so it can create reminders for me. I’m sick of forgetting to think about remembering to do things so I hope if I can just ramble at the LLM about what I’m doing or what’s on my mind it can organize my thoughts. What else are these LLM actually for?
yt-dlp is still alive, well and actively developed. It can now target abunch of different platforms.
Makes it easier to distribute and set up
Then I’d delete my old phone number account and start fresh… not exactly the best option but all things considered you might have too
Signal recently implemented “usernames” instead of phone numbers
First of all I just want to say that I completely agree with all of the technical things you talked about in his question but I think you kind of miss his question.
OP doesn’t wanna be on SS7 (the thing that gives you your phone number), neither do I. I’ve just come to the conclusion that when it comes to infrastructure and paying for your goods SS7 is the only realistic option I have.
There is no distributed communication network anyone can just connect to. And the dream of leaving WiFi access points open for free (or for some kinda crypto-pay, e.g SkyNet) is just a dream, individuals have to invest in it and nobody wants to or take responsibility for it.
Here are some rules:
If we can come with a solution that fits these rules we can do away with the SS7 cellular protocol and have a truly anonymous network.
I mean if it’s just a private server for just the people he knows then I don’t get why this would be a concern, but if it is to mitigate family drama then rocket chat definitely has end-to-end encryption https://docs.rocket.chat/use-rocket.chat/workspace-administration/settings/e2e-encryption
Rocket chat is like slack but FOSS… haven’t tried it myself but it could be something
How expensive can “reputable” be. I got danhab99.xyz for like ¯\(°_o)/¯ $20/year?? Who cares
Literally why is this necessary on a technical level. I’m a web developer, whenever I need my JavaScript to access a resource I have to spell out where to find it. I’ve never had a need to scan the browser or the system to make shit happen so why should I be able to in the first place.
Most Linux package managers sync the list of all packages they can download. I wonder if some sort of system like that can be used to federate web searching.
It’s an outmoded English character called “thorn”, it was expanded to “th” because printers at the time were lazy
