Wow, that’s great. I don’t know of any other program that supports iWork files.

Every time I see a headline that contains the word “slams,” I want to slam my head on the table

It’s awesome to see a project written with Zig!

I also use Homebank, and it’s more than enough for my needs as a single guy

The image-to-text model is impressive. I could see it being useful for smart search of your library, allowing users to find photos with a high-level description.

I’m not sure why it’s being reported on as though the technology is a privacy or security threat, though. If you’ve given a storage provider access to your photos anyway, using a vision model isn’t going to give them anything extra.

That said, I do love self-hosted photo solutions like Immich and Ente. Hope they continue to grow.

Google Glass finally making a comeback?

macOS, ChromeOS, SteamOS, AWS, Samsung Tizen, literally any embedded device, …

In general I agree with the sentiment of the article, but I think the broader issue is media literacy. When the Internet came about, people had similar reservations about the quality of information, and most of us learned in school how to find quality information online.

LLMs are a tool, and people need to learn how to use them correctly and responsibly. I’ve been using Perplexity.AI as a search engine for a while now, and I think they’re taking the right approach. It employs LLMs at different stages to parse your query, perform web searches on your behalf, and summarize findings. It provides in-text citations as well, which is an opportunity for a media-literate person to confirm the validity of anything important.

Amnesty International provides a FOSS tool to check your mobile backups for traces of the Pegasus Spyware. I’d trust that over a sketchy proprietary app. Link: https://docs.mvt.re.

My thoughts exactly… If there’s a FOSS tool to check, then we’d be talking.

“A quick peek behind the curtain”

I watched “Buy Now!” last night. The editing was a bit campy, but overall it was interesting. I appreciated seeing both iFixit and Framework being represented!

Thou shalt not browse The Internet

Nope. Snowflake has been around for a while. I’ve been running my node for at least a year now

Like others, I have a folder in my home directory called “Code.” Most operating systems encourage you to organize digital files by category (documents, photos, music, videos). Anything that doesn’t fit into those categories gets its own new directory. This is especially important for me, as all my folders except Code are synced to NextCloud.

It’s the logo of “0din”, which is a Mozilla-backed bug bounty (say that five times fast) with a focus on GenAI

Anyone who found this interesting should check out Nick Harkawway’s novel Gnomon. It’s set in a near-future society with a similar kind of omnipresent and ambivalent AI/surveillance system, combined with some fantasy elements.

I use yadm’s post-checkout script feature to accomplish this on my machines.

If I understand your question, you can just assign some of your server endpoints a public IP/URL and keep some others behind the firewall. My home lab exposes some services to the open internet, while others are only accessible with a VPN.

It’s about time. I hop between iOS and Android every so often, and the lack of RCS has always been a major pain in the ass. Goodbye shitty compressed photos and hello read receipts. Unless your Android vendor doesn’t fully support RCS… Looking at you, Samsung
