- Comment on My AI Skeptic Friends Are All Nuts 1 day ago:
Remember when everybody was making “smart” toasters and fridges and shit with cameras or WiFi for absolutely no reason.
This is that all over again.
Nobody needs “AI” in their water kettles, dryers, or dildos.

Like it or not, any self-hosted project can not be successful if there is no one to appreciate it…
Absolutely wrong. I’ve had multiple I’ve kept going for years because I’ve created them for specific use-cases that literanlbody else touches, and I’ve run and contributed to multiple huge public projects. Never once did I ever think of abandoning the former because nobody else was using them.
This sounds like .using of someone who is new to the scene and thinks it works like social media influencer BS.
It does not.

Then why are you fucking with AI bullshit, Johnny?
- Comment on I'm looking for an article showing that LLMs don't know how they work internally 2 days ago:
It’s a developer option that isn’t generally available on consumer-facing products. It’s literally just a debug log that outputs the steps to arrive at a response, nothing more.
It’s not about novel ideation or reasoning (programmatic neural networks don’t do that), but just an output of statistical data that says “Step was 90% certain, Step 2 was 89% certain…etc”
- Comment on X launches E2E encrypted Chat 3 days ago:
I’m confused about this conversation. Are you the idiot here, or do you think I am?
Your AI generated article doesn’t have any actual information, doesn’t deal with MITM attacks, and has zero context about how anything it mentions could be used to attack what we’re discussing here.
Unless you have a quantum responder in the chain, there isn’t a currently known way to fake an exchange of keys to infiltrate secure channels secured by keys.
Not only would this destroy the currently existing Internet, you’d be seeing floods of information exfilateates for sale on the black market.
Not only have you not contributed to this conversation, you’ve proven to be absolutely ignorant about the topic, and you are awarded no points.
God have mercy on your soul.

Riiiight. First time I’m hearing of network traffic being faked. You must be blowing the lid off of something HUGE here 😂
- Comment on X launches E2E encrypted Chat 3 days ago:
Untrue. Many Zero-Trust platforms out there that give you the tools to confirm when you are in fact e2e encrypted. They publish their docs, open source their tools, and give verification tools to check.
- Comment on X launches E2E encrypted Chat 3 days ago:
Sure as hell wouldn’t trust it unless they publish their trust system docs and verification tools.
- Comment on Need a second opinion on a project idea (Pi5 car headunit) 3 days ago:
You’d be better off getting a sub-$300 phone or tablet because this will cost way more than that easily, and without a battery, this is going to be a really shitty user experience.
The performance of a cheap mobile device will also be vastly better than a Pi device of any kind.

This is very confusing…
So you didn’t have access to your network…why?
Were you just away for some reason? Get a proper VPN going, or put a Tailscale endpoint on your network somewhere. Done.
- Comment on Ansible sounds interesting 4 days ago:
If you don’t want another dependency, just get familiar with the provisioning tools of whatever distro you intend to use (Fedora Kickstart, for example), and learn how to quickly provision custom scripted thing with cloud-init when you provision something.
- Comment on Alternatives to Band (group coordination tool) 4 days ago:
Well it’s the 37Signals team (if you’re familiar at all). They make good stuff. It’s good to consider supporting any team who makes anything regardless of what you go with, so keep it in mind.
Asking for $10 across a large group families to cover the cost is easy to do.

Somebody else will provide the tools to workaround this in no time. Keep wasting our fucking time and money by not understanding technology, world government figures.

I believe the undertone you’re asking for here is “…and FREE”, but let me point you in a slightly different direction. Campfire
Pay on e, and own it forever. They give the code so you can host it yourself. Does everything you’re asking for, and can be easily extended to provide SMS if you know how to code (they may include an already existing interface for that, but haven’t looked through the code in a long time).
It’s not FOSS (as in free), but it’s fully open-source, you can self-host however you want, and it’s a pretty tidy UI/UX experience.

First project is dead.
Second is more of a payment processor than anything.

Well, hey, if I changed my name to “Dumbfuck Mc’Dipshitterson” I think I’d have a PR problem as well.

Your username is ‘anus’, and you’re posting nonsensical blog slop on Lemmy.
That’s an interesting reality that I’m not sure many others participate in.

What world are you living in?
- Comment on [deleted] 6 days ago:
It’s both the dumbest thing, and the most ill-informed thing I’ve heard this week. I’ve got some crypto mining stuff to sell you, and also some juicers, bulk gluten-free ingredients, bulk Tumeric…

Not in “AI” itself? 😭

I’m not sure what part of the world you’re in, so maybe there is a societal difference here, but last I checked, if you’re running a business, it’s not only run on chat apps. There are other venues to contact businesses to schedule things…

Well if you tell them you are using Signal and they adopt it, you sure can.
What is your imaginary boundary here where Telegram makes this easier somehow?

- Comment on Release v0.6.11 · open-webui/open-webui 6 days ago:
Because they realize they have enough user base to not slum it for free anymore. A lot of projects are fine just getting the notoriety and consultation dollars, but some people are just looking to build things and flip it for money later. It ebbs and flows over time in either direction. I’d say right now most projects are on the “we’re for sale” side of things.

You should be using Signal anyway.

Correct. Youll need to have a new disk array up and running to copy all your data to first on the new NAS.
