Sure, but that’s maximalist demand. Nobody is going to offer RISCV open hardware in mobile space, especially the baseband. With GOS I can at least be reasonably sure that the cellular radio is really off when I tell it to.

With WiFi tablets the chances are better.

I don’t understand what you’re trying to say.

If you’re an org who’s serious you will of course control the hardware platform, too.

ProjectIvy looks good, and I can even install it from Google Play directly. Thanks.

These are reasonable demands https://grapheneos.org/faq#future-devices

Any specific suggestions for Nvidia Shield TV? The regular one is being progressively enshittified. I need something basic open source, but not too ugly looking.

Which is why I run GrapheneOS.

Don’t rely on anything you can’t control. Give me local LLM or death.

I used to run a node. First an exit, then a middleman. Am I a normal person? Dubious. Did I do it with good intentions? I hope so.

That soup is already cooked. And obtaining consent is prohibitive, so your data set will be tiny.

Preferably. See the Whonix approach in Qubes OS. There you can be only targeted as a class of Tor users, not as an individual. The blast radius of system compromise is limited, requiring a privilege escalation to break out of containment.

Just because you don’t use IPFS don’t assume nobody else does. Yes, it’s not a point-and-drool tool.

You should assume your ISP is a hostile party, in cahoots with you goverment’s intelligence services. A fail close VPN and adblockers at network level as well as hardened and isolated VM for public content consumption should be your SOP.

We never did.

I trust privacy settings because I trust GrapheneOS to do what says on the tin.

It’s a standing on the shoulders of giants thing. That’s how humanity have been making progress historically.

People running local LLMs with open weights abliterated models, especially with solar PV power (perhaps not as rare as you think, I’m upgrading my solar PV system in the next couple weeks for that explicit purpose), is about freedom and privacy. At some point there should be enough of them to link up into a grid over the Internet, collaborate or donate resources to distributed community projects. This is a way to allow for the “pillaged” content to pay back for itself.

Do you have qualms with public pirate libraries, like SciHub and LibGen, too? These have also been used for training LLMs.

Whoah. Have you ever thought about making some videos demoeing and explaining your setup?

Nothing wrong with fucking pirates.

A fanless thin client with Opnsense and a four-port Intel NIC.

If I fire up everything in the rack it’s several kilowatts. Probably more than a 230 V wall socket can handle.

Usually it’s way less, though right now it’s just a switch and the router/firewall, mere 57 W.

I make most of my own net power with solar PV, soon 4 kWp in total.
