Semperverus

Do you think it runs at 1000w continuously? On any decent GPU, the responses are nearly instantaneous to maybe a few seconds of runtime at maybe max GPU consumption.

Compare that to playing a few hours of cyberpunk 2077 with raytracing and maxed out settings at 4k.

Don’t get me wrong, there’s a lot to hate about AI/LLMs, but running one locally without data harvesting engines is pretty minimal. The creation of the larger models is where the consumption primarily comes in, and then the data centers that run them are servicing millions of inquiries a minute making the concentration of consumption at a single point significantly higher (plus they retrain the model there on current and user-fed data, including prompts, whereas your computer hosting ollama would not.)

Ok thats really cool. Can we get some screenshots in the README.md though?

Can we get some screenshots uploaded to the README.md?

I’m with you on that one

Open source devs that suck are worse than non- open source devs that are actually into their project!

Non-open source devs suck by virtue of being closed source, period. It doesn’t matter how good their project is, if it’s closed it goes in the trash.

Why would you call closed source client apps “open”?

Do note though that MeshCore is proprietary and has a licensing cost to unlock all of its features whereas Meshtastic is open source and free as in freedom.

Probably best to skip it if you can’t stomach that sort of thing, but if you can handle the fucked up bits, its a very well written short story.

I dunno if you know this but SMS support got removed from Signal a few years ago

Its still better than any new chat protocol thats been made in the last decade. You’ll have to pry my family XMPP server out of my cold dead hands.

Great! Now I can listen to my PinePods on my PineBuds which I store in my PinePod that they came with.

I wish we would all start switching over to JSON for configuration files. It’s so much easier to parse, and you can’t screw it up with too many spaces or not enough.

Its just whatever is built into copilot.

You can do a quick and dirty test by opening copilot chat and asking it something like “outline the vulnerabilities found in the following code, with the vulnerabilities listed underneath it. Outline any other issues you notice that are not listed here.” and then paste the code and the discovered vulns.

That seems to be the direction the industry is headed in. GHAzDO and competitors all seem to be converging on using AI as a force-multiplier on top of the existing solutions, and it works surprisingly well.

Having actually worked with AI in this context alongside github/azure devops advanced security, I can tell you that this is wrong. As much as we hate AI, and as much as people like to (validly) point out issues with hallucinations, overall it’s been very on-point.

I wasn’t trolling, but okay. I probably should stop arguing with a bot designed to astro turf for big corporate data ownership.

Getting a little touchy are we? Try deep breaths, it helps with the anger issues 😉

Ahh there it is, I knew you’d do that.

I abide by my own lectures, I am actively putting effort into it and am 99% of the way there, which is 100% more than you.

Been slowly chipping away at those for the last decade (could have gone way faster but I’m lazy), and I’m almost completely google-free. I dont use any microsoft products at home (work forces me to), and Apple can eat my ass. My phone is a completely de-googled GrapheneOS device (I don’t have an issue relying on companies for hardware, just software), and hopefully in the future a Liberux or Pinephone linux phone.

I self-host my own movies, music, and cloud storage. I also host my own chat service for friends and family, built on top of XMPP. The services i do use are generally very privacy respecting like Signal for people outside of my social sphere, or freedom respecting like Lemmy (mostly weaned off of reddit).

Any time you rely on another company to handle your data, you are beholden to their whims, end of story. Don’t like what they’re doing? Too bad. Give up the convenience and host it yourself, or continue to be a slave to their corporate interests.
