Ollama as a general LLM server and then LLaVa as model

Enshittification comes from algorithm-driven profit seeking.

Not worried.

I host a SearXNG instance and follow the Matrix channel. Haven’t seen anything along those lines.

The AI support doesn’t hurt you if you don’t use it - and they’ve done the right thing by making sure you can do things locally instead of cloud.

Here’s what AI does for me (self-hosted, my own scripts) on NC 9:

When our phones sync photos to Nextcloud a local LLM creates image descriptions on all the photos, as well as creating five tags for each.

It is absolutely awesome.

This is where Signal’s biggest problem shows. It’s centralized. Matrix is the better choice since it will be up to you if you decide to break the law if it’s banned, since there will still be plenty of servers you can reach.

Errol is known for making shit up regarding Elon. The interview in which he mentions this is also from 2022 while the story about the coincidence is from 2017 so plenty of time for Errol to have picked up on it.

Seems like a no, unfortunately.

Because, if the publishing history for von Braun’s book on Wikipedia is correct, then Errol couldn’t have heard about it when he was a child and used it as the basis for naming his son – as it wasn’t actually published until well after Elon Musk was born.

(It should be noted that the technical appendix to the book, which contained the specifications for the novel’s expedition to Mars, was published earlier: in Germany in 1952, and in English the following year – however, this appendix as it appears in Project Mars does not contain any mention of ‘Elon’.)

You want Matrix. Synapse if you intend to host for others, Conduit if you just want to host for yourself. There are quite a few different clients but I do indeed use ElementX on mobile.

Many of Yandex’s employees resigned in protest, accusing the company of serving as a tool of Kremlin propaganda and actively concealing information about the war.

That sounds problematic. Where do they detail this?

Wikipedia:

Google Safe Browsing “conducts client-side checks. If a website looks suspicious, it sends a subset of likely phishing and social engineering terms found on the page to Google to obtain additional information available from Google’s servers on whether the website should be considered malicious”.

But why are random people visiting your instance?

If you were just selfhosting services for you and your family, would really browsers be flagging your site?

Just clarifying for the ones who don’t know: Element is a Matrix client.

Firefox with plugins. If we want there to be anything but Chromium and Safari in the future it’s simply what needs to be done. Forks of Firefox will disappear when Firefox does …

A lot of people have issues when science does not agree with their beliefs.

Not just excessive - it’s simply bad for the skin, causes rashes and fungal issues.

if I compile mtproto self from github

You didn’t understand why I quoted that part the first time around. Let’s try it again.

Yeah I am a cryptographer, reverse engineer and (whitehat) hacker. I’m also well versed in the russian influence operations having run rampant in the west for a bit more than a decade.

The Telegram-supporters are out in force right now specifically to make sure people keep using Telegram, believing it to be secure. Russia has already made used of their backdoors against Ukraine in the war.

Russia banning Signal now was a huge blunder, since that proves there’s nothing in Telegram they don’t have access to, having allowed it to keep operating.

“Access to the Signal messaging app is blocked in connection with violation of the requirements of Russian legislation which must be complied with to prevent the use of messaging apps for terrorist and extremist aims”

• Roskomnadzor

Russian authorities began to block access to Telegram, a widely used messaging app, in 2018. The action interrupted many third-party services, but had little effect on the availability of Telegram in Russia.

custom self compiled clients

…

Not “somehow”. The authorities know Telegram can indeed backdoor their service, since they know it already is. They also know Signal cannot.

Thus, since Telegram can but refuses, he gets arrested.
