Ente is a beautiful, private cloud for your memories, with apps for mobile, desktop and web.

At Ente, we use Local AI to deliver features like face recognition and magic search, while respecting the privacy of your photos.

We’ll now join a cohort of builders pushing technology forward for an AI that is light, private and accessible.

There seems to be mixed reactions to this suggestion. I don’t know enough to understand why.

Enjoy your Friday

Nice article.

why bother? Why I self host

Most of this article is not purely about that question, but I dislike clickbait, so I’ll actually answer the question from the title: Two reasons.

First of all, I like to be independent - or at least, as much as I can. Same reason we have backup power, why I know how to bake bread, preserve food, and generally LARP as a grandmother desperate to feed her 12 grandchildren until they are no longer capable of self propelled movement. It makes me reasonably independent of whatever evil scheme your local $MEGA_CORP is up to these days (hint: it’s probably a subscription).

It’s basically the Linux and Firefox argument - competition is good, and freedom is too.

If that’s too abstract for you, and what this article is really about, is the fact that it teaches you a lot and that is a truth I hold to be self-evident: Learning things is good & useful.

Turns out, forcing yourself to either do something you don’t do every day, or to get better at something you do occasionally, or to simply learn something that sounds fun makes you better at it. Wild concept, I know.

• You can self host VS Code
• UPS batteries die silently and quicker than you think
• Redundant DNS is good DNS
• Raspberry PIs run ARN, Proxmox does not
• zfs + Proxmox eat memmory and will OOM kill your VMS
• The mystery of random crashes (Is it hardware? It’s always hardware.)
• SNMP(v3) is still cool
• Don’t trust your VPS vendor
• Gotta go fast
• CIFS is still not fast
• Blob storage, blob fish, and file systems: It’s all “meh”
• CrowdSec

Conclusion

He made up hypothetical scenarios that nobody asked about, and then denigrated Rust by attacking the scenarios he came up with.

This seems to be the textbook description of a strawman argument.

It’s also a microkernel and intentional not POSIX compliant (but it’s close to compliant). I like the project, but it’s very experimental on purpose, so we should set our expectations accordingly. I’d love to see it become a success, but it may not be or it may only be successful in a smaller niche than the current Linux ecosystem.

That said, it seems very open to new contributors. I hope more people can help it along.

What self-hosted services did you set up passkeys on? How did setting it up go?

Is there a passkey setup that’s easy to self host? I think passkeys with a backup would be best.

I’m expecting that everything that the statistical models reveal or make convincing results about which benefit the owners of the models will be exploited. Anything that threatens power or the model owners will be largely ignored and dismissed.

The few laws that govern this type of activity will be strictly adhered to, right?

You should be aware that this is classified and marketed as a microcontroller, so it’s just a bootloader to some code with no OS or a RTOS.

Something like the RPi Zero is a SBC that’s relatively close in size.

I don’t understand their business model, is it just to get acquired to become salaried?

The two rooms linked above are mirrored, so you can use either XMPP or Matrix, from any client you prefer, on pretty much any platform under the sun!

There’s no XMPP link in the README above the quoted statement.

Awesome! Best of luck to the new team!

Mp3 is a proprietary format on copyright. Some idiot ceo can came and change the rules, let’s add an ads mandatory for each decoder.

This is not true. Copyright is not relevant to an encoding standard. The standard has been unchanged for 26 years and all legal claims of patent rights related to implimentations of the standard have expired before May 2017.

@swooosh@lemmy.world you should probably know about this as well.

I’m very confused about what your requirements are based on reading your post and some of your responses to comments, but I’m going to suggest that you look into Quarto

Oh. I was thinking opensource and the organizations above that pay for Discourse to host for them a are non-profit. I don’t know why I read the post body and forgot about the title.

I guess programming.dev sorta fits except the UI is different. Maybe someone can create a frontend that mimics the Stack Overflow UI.

There are many Discourse forums for various programming related tools, services, and programming languages. I’ve shared 3 examples below.

You can use this as an opportunity to have a conversation about what it is about those movies that she likes. This could open up to a larger conversation where you can connect and grow your relationship as mother and child. Or she might just say something vague and simple and you can ignore the movies while they sit in a separate library.

It’s strange to me people refer to the awk command rather than the AWK language.
