- Comment on Self-hosted keypass fork recommendation 16 hours ago:
OG KeePass program was never written for Linux
It’ll run with mono, package is named keepass2 on deb, keepass on arch and fedora, among others.
Contributed/unofficial keepass section at the bottom, the top contributed section is a list of ports
- Comment on Selfhosted & AI 3 days ago:
I think you may be misunderstanding the terminology here.
AI is a general term. LLMs are a subset, as are ML, DL, ANNs, NLP, CV, Expert models, etc.
Today you would define what we have as ANI, where the “N” stands for “Narrow”. This is also known as “weak” AI.
What you’re referring to would be called AGI, where the “G” stands for “General”, where an AI would have a human degree of intelligence. This is pure concept today, and does not exist.
Also on the list would be ASI, where the “S” is for “Super”, where the AI in question has more collective intelligence than humanity across all domains. This is purely hypothetical.
But AI has existed for decades. The first application I know if is Dendral, which as created in the 1950s to analyze mass spectrometry data to identify organic molecules. This was what’s called an Expert model - basically a lot of if-then statements, and led to things like MYCIN.
We don’t need to redefine words here.

That being said, it should be okay for users to call out an obvious grift, or a “nonsense repo” that’s actually pure slop.
Especially if the disclosure is blatantly a lie, absolutely. I’d also say if you see any indicators that they are lying in the disclosure, its still worthy of reporting - but I would say report and separately message the “why”, to limit visibility of seeing those indicators.
- Comment on Selfhosted & AI 4 days ago:
Just to point out a few projects that allow AI contributions:
- Firefox
- NodeJS
- Chromium
- curl
- Go
- InfluxDB
- MariaDB
- Prometheus
- Linux
- openSSL
- Blender
- Mattermost
- Caddy
If you want all projects related to AI in a different community, it may be easier for you to start “selfhosted_without_ai” or something.
- Comment on I built Raza Photos: a local, distributed photo library for your Apple devices if you are tired of clouds and subscriptions. 1 week ago:
Due to the rule change (stickied post), closed source / paid software is not permitted without community participation - meaning non self-promotional content.
As all of your posts are either this or a link to your blog, I’m taking this down under rule 7.
- Comment on Rule 2 Clarifications and New Rule proposal I’ve gotten through (I believe) a 1 week ago:
I actually do want tagging of some sort, I think its a sensible approach overall. I think its a quick way to identify that your project used AI and people can quickly filter, per your example.
That said, I think that should be a separate item, and I don’t want to inundate with stickies either. That was going to be my next “oh look a mod is annoying us with his opinion again” post, but then we ended up seeing a ton of promo content this week. I’m trying to stick to a mod post every week or two so everyone has a chance to see and respond to things.
That said, if you want to get that discussion ball rolling, feel free to make a meta post about it of course!
- Comment on [META] Are paid for closer source advertising appropriate? 1 week ago:
Offtopic and inappropriate for the discussion.
- Comment on DepthSight - a self-hosted, federated algorithmic trading platform with a visual strategy builder (AGPL) 1 week ago:
@DepthSight@lemmy.world you made this post right in the middle of a bigger conversation around promotional posts, so be aware that this post may be removed later pending the outcome of that discussion in the meta thread here:
lemmy.world/post/48462124/24369166
For everyone else, here is why I’m leaving the thread up:
- Its entirely open source (agpl)
- Its self-hosted
- There is no paywall, only a donation spot.
Here is where I see a potential problem:
- New account just to post this, account named after the project
- There is a share-by-default function - which can be disabled, and privacy features are noted, but worth highlighting this here:
By default, DepthSight client nodes connect to the centralized Federation Hub to enable shared community features like verified strategy templates, discussion boards, public leaderboard ranking, and the live global node network topology map.
For those coming here and reporting, please be aware this doesn’t blatantly break any rules imo, only the (extremely subjective) rule 2, which I don’t think fits for the reasons I noted above. Making a good reference for discussion in the meta.

No worries, everyone gets caught up sometimes even me. Thats why its just a bunch of removals.
- Comment on [META] Are paid for closer source advertising appropriate? 1 week ago:
There’s no respect in that statement and thats not appropriate here. Lets calm it down and keep it a discussion, not aggression and attacks.
- Comment on This community isn't your personal adviser 3 weeks ago:
Ita also entirely wrong, as I’ve noted to you now any times.
I’m also letting you know politely that coming in with an attitude like that will not be accepted here.
I replied to you because your comment was reported for rule #1. Just because the last mod was lax with managing comments and overzealous with their interpretation of rule #3 doesn’t mean I will be.
To put it bluntly - be civil or don’t be here.
- Comment on This community isn't your personal adviser 3 weeks ago:
Whats in the post title is blaming users. Its incorrect.
I’d recommend you reconsider who needs to work on their reading comprehension, as well as the attitude coming in here. This is a community, and one where we don’t need to come in and attack/name call, especially when you’ve fundamentally misunderstood the issue.
- Comment on This community isn't your personal adviser 3 weeks ago:
Yep! And got all the old reports cleaned up to boot
- Comment on This community isn't your personal adviser 3 weeks ago:
I’d re-read what I said then - again, it was not users deleting their content, but the former moderator. People downvoting were likely responding to the blame being placed on the users - aka, the members of this community - when they were not to blame. The people you just referred to as moronic leeches with the reading comprehension of a potato who were, again, not to blame.
- Comment on This community isn't your personal adviser 3 weeks ago:
I suspect people who realized it was the former moderator removing the posts, and not the users themselves.
We don’t need to be unpleasant to disagreethough, so going forward lets try to avoid that.
- Comment on This community isn't your personal adviser 3 weeks ago:
And I’ll use your comment as my post here for a local mod appointment of my lw account!
