  • Alternative idea for the adventurous lot - or extreme self-hosters: Buy an old Xeon datacenter server with 1.5tb ddr3 ram (separately). Ddr3 still costs around a dollar pr gig (a month ago), so this rig with two xeon and 24 * 64gb ddr3 ram will cost ~1900$ + transport: ~2k.

    (OR an older pc motherboard with 4*64 channels or similar)

    DDR3 is a bit slower, use more power, and the server is big/noisy, but the difference in price is unbeatable, and it's a hell of a KVcache (for ai) if you put a gpu in it.

    Note though, that power expenses are going up in the West.

  • Not helping here, but I heard a guy with Guix did that. Guix just builds a profile with the extra desktop parts, run it in a local container if you want and add that profile to the local software stack. Not a vm but maybe you don't need it ? Both the system, home and the desktop profile are declarative, so very mobile. I think he had his DE user profile remote also, so extremely minimal/air-gapped and stable solution with almost zero local data: system, home, desktop-profile, remote user profile (ldap etc).

    In declarative operating systems, you describe what you want, and the system builds it for you. Your whole system configuration is a few files of std code (learning experience ;). Personally, I'm done with the usual monolithic distros. They are too error prone for my taste, and not really moving with the dev flow of operating systems imho.

    Anyway, just a loose rumor/idea, I have no links and don't actually know how to do it, sorry.

  • Yes, every neo-liberal ceo they have had, are dragging mozilla towards a full commercial strategy, while loosing market shares af! I don't think US have many non-neo-liberal leader types..Anyway, they and their anti-community attitudes have the full responsibility for the multi-year dive.

  • No, you can access something like 'localhost:8080', so if you have your ollama/webui or other agent/llm listening there, FF will show that interface in the side window. Summary etc still works. You just chose 'localhost' as your provider.

    Better search, but it looks like this: browser.ml.chat.provider http://192.168.1.83:8080/

  • Everyone’s sick of AI

    But not everyone are ! But a group of people have gone to the 'hate the tool' corner, are very aggressive and feel that 'everybody else hates it'. But 'we'/'they' don't - some do.

    Any software/tool that leaves it up to the user if they want to use such a feature or not, are okay. Open source and Foss doesn't exclude the use of AI, and 'catering' to a special group of angry people that just want to remove the option entirely for everyone else, is not very 'community' aligned in my view.

    There will be plenty of clones that pull out this or that part of the official source tree, so nobody will lack a normal browser. I currently use 'Zen' and I had to 'force' AI on. Other will just remove it entirely.

  • More primitive anti-china propaganda. Who believes this thick nonsense ? The western Plutocracy are really firing it up ! Imagine that the fascist techlords are now suddenly 'trustworthy' good guys - and joining up with 'national security' in a little ww3-mongering propaganda campaign. I'm sure there's no cheating and the evidence would hold up - if anyone ever got to check it out oc.. tsk tsk..

  • Classic Capitalist behavior and problems, now just amplified by the Capitalists new super tool.. Monetary/greedy slop amplified by a new tool, jobs ruined in an archaic system that enforces jobs to survive, stolen 'copyright' that are only a leftover from this warring ideology, and so on.

    AI is currently a tool, and people should hate the users that causes harm with the tool, or better yet, hate the underlying combative system of market capitalism that forces tools to be used like this, forces slop and structural problems, and creates enormous problems for ordinary people. They should not hate the tool - a hammer is only bad in a bad environment.

    As long as we keep believing in a combative society paid for, and controlled by the ones with the mightiest tool, it won't ever get better. Capitalism are sponsored by, and benefit only, the rich, and everyone else are the victims of their behavior, and the automatic consequences it have in all of our social lives.

  • I could be wrong, but it seems he just mounted '/porn' directly as '/' ? Efficient, I guess.

    ..actually, there seem to room for more improvements; I'm not sure there's any need for an 'operating system' on the system - a small fap-app (tm) could likely handle all content on the system ? Work documents could be injected in to the fap-stream (c) when he needs to stop ? That would release many gb for even more fap-ability (c) ?

  • Western information landscape is broken. It's not a peace plan, and Russia won't accept a 'cease-fire' plan from US when they are clearly winning. 'Ukraine' is just a battering ram. Russia have stated their demands many many times, and there will be no 'peace' until the root causes of the conflict is discussed. For those that still follows US/western media: US created the conflict and are just using Ukraine as a proxy. It didn't go as planned, and US are now 'handing over' the "Russia problem" to EU, and re-focusing their propaganda and warmongering on China - same playbook - same desire for world hegemony by 'keeping competitors down'.

    Study the 'The Duran', Brian Berletic, Ben Norton or many many others if you want to lean how/why US did it, for how long and how its going..

  • 'Betrayal' is a harsh word for optimizing trivialities with a closed source model. Whether it was a success or not, doesn't really tell us why it's a betrayal. I guess this has to do with the current wave of 'AI-hate' reactions we see everywhere.
