Great idea, and love re-purposing stuff! Price/ram probably limit the use to always-on low-power cases. Not sure it can beat small sbc's at their own game, so not sure where it shines - except for re-purposing wasted resources oc.

Sounds more like Nato and the western elite want to get in to Iran's information sphere, than to let Iranians access western internet and be 'free'. Iranians are during external attacks against their nation, protected from the information war - just like borders protect from attacks. I'm not assisting the Western elite. I'm out..
Just standard Russophobic propaganda campaign. Amazing they still believe it works.. The more Nato's war against Russia goes badly, the more The Guardian will pivot to attacking China - just like 'Daddy'.
Just infantile Western propaganda/russophobia. reverse it for Western reality, and ignore the post..
A bit generic perhaps, but.. Before I dumped the Zuck, + Reddit, twatter and other Western for profit propaganda outlets, I left him a gift of 12 years of posts exclusively about anti-elite, anti-Zuck, anti-capitalist and anti-west topics. I kind of hope they use it now they are data-hungry and may not be censoring effectively anymore.
Saltman/OAI, Google and others 'free AI's they use to train their models on, are used exclusively for research about western psychopathy, the 'Blue Church' Market ideology, and how AGI in the hands of private ***chopath techlords and a fanatical blue Church is an absolute recipe for disaster.
So, I hide what I can, buy from need instead of Ads (I consequently boy-cut all corporations/products that go through), use FLOSS p2p tools, std blockers/filters, and only use corporate/church services now when either absolutely necessary, or to let them train on/learn what I want them to learn. Let them re-analyze important critical papers, websites, collections, etc. Not ideal or easy, but better than nothing.
I am currently planning AI agentic tools to protect me/others from the corporate/blue-church's sphere of propaganda/manipulation. It will constantly research and fight back on my behalf. It will be an adaptive smart filter between me and the nasty market ***chopathy.
What 'Democracy' ?? I'll take my chances with a completely AI driven society before any oligarch **nts control..
Well, if warring Obomba could get it, the prize really is open for anyone..
It has nothing to do with 'state-owned' or not. That is just an anti-scientific dogmatic propaganda from the Blue Church. Private media can be bought - in fact, can ONLY be bought - to show a story, and they wouldn't care shit if its true or not. Privatised media is just controlled by psychopath Capitalists that have too much money, and a selfish agenda - no true information is necessary in private media. The Capitalist West and its private media is the most propagandized place in the world !
Correct. Current society brings the worst behavior to the front, but all humans have the capability to behave in many many ways according to environment. Claiming that "Human nature" is a certain way, is one of many very dangerous Capitalist excuses. That way all problems are caused by 'bad humans', not a 'bad ideology'. Problem 'fixed', but ANY form of Capitalism = fighting for your life/livelyhood on a daily basis, or die trying. This mechanism put everyone in a merciless race to the bottom of social behavior - ME first attitude, that harms everyone.
Too bad the rich Oligarchs own humanity's information apparatus..
I slept in my first computer - and worked as verbal RAM (first VRAM!) 28 hours a day !
"..and when you tell this to young people today, they won't believe you !" - Monty Python.
This eternal Sinophobia - hatred of everything 'China' from western for-profit outlets, is looking like an organized effort. Propaganda to demean a winning competitor. Sad..
Likes, that are maybe not integrated in NixOs ?: Scheme and elisp, are both lisp, and while It looks shit to start with, I'm coming around to it. Lisp is a clever language imho, so I like it as a configuration language (scheme). Emacs looks almost like a natural extension of Guix, and I'm finally starting playing with it. I feel that every little corner of the Guix have been designed for a purpose from the ground up. Repo is curated with floss goodness, and flatpak for the rest. I like the simplicity and 'order' of it all. Ah, the system installer is shaky, but..
I find guix as both a system and package manager easy and very powerful out of the box. I've had other systems/package managers for many years without using as many build-in features as now.
Besides std Guix, there are 2 spinoffs, pantherx that is supposed to be more enduser polished and rdb that are Guix+Emacs in a love relationship I think. Not sure, but you can check it out.
Maybe NixOS would do the same, but I've never been 'giddy' about a new distribution before, so I I'm just happy I found my new permanent distro. Not leaving.
How about we keep this Sinophobic propaganda out of this sub ? Your text is bat-shit insane that are borderline criminal. Please stop with all the China hate, it is just simplistic paid propaganda it self..
No, "Capitalism" is Destroying a Generation of Students. It is destroying jobs and most other existential problems come from that belief system, but AI - for now - is a tool.
Only in a terrible environments with psychopath behavior, does it do harm. Unfortunately, that describes 99% of all leadership under Capitalism. It has always and will always be powerful people misusing tools/tech for their own individual benefit. That is what 'free competition' allows to happen. Live with it, or complain about Capitalism instead.

I don't know, but allow me a soft rant about the 'distributed' part;
Couldn't selfhosters try to 'organize' and share these burdens ? Why pay for external cloud backup, or anything, when selfhosters can just help each other storing parts of others backup. Then everyone have an automatic back-up.
The tools seem to be there, but Its like there are all these super-skilled infra-structure selfhosters that know everything about self-hosting solutions, but they lack the self-organizing ability to sollve these typical - and a bit trivial, lets be honest - problems in a full p2p style. The result looks to be that all self-hostings solution above the threshold of an average individual selhoster, have to be done in the cloud, and everyone is 'siloed' in their own mini data center.
But, with existing tools, AI and a little imagination, it shouldn't be too hard to 'organize' a little (though here) design a self-hosting p2p backup solution from existing tools. ..or a solution for most of the other cloud services we still rely on..
But maybe its something else ? ..to me, it just seems unnecessary for a high expertise self-hoster community that - when combined - are an absolute gargantuan cloud-service infrastructure ..to still have such basic capacity issues (no offense meant to op, or anyone!), and still have so high reliance on cloud services. Seems odd to me..
Too bad, but we just have to live with open source being used for shitty purposes also.
What a Rebel ! I mean, who says Arms can't have a rib cage ?!? Go dude, break the SYSTEM !!

I thought of this rare little sub when watching this. It's difficult to evaluate how much Yank (and western) culture have contaminated our expectation and knowledge of other cultures. This video explores some of that..
And, ..going slightly OT on my own post, when trying to search for African music, the result contains mostly African 'beyonce-like' music. I have to add 'root' or similar to find something that actually sounds 'original', local and non-yank. A bit sad.
I am planning my first ai-lab setup, and was wondering how many tokens different AI-workflows/agent network eat up on an average day. For instance talking to an AI all day, have devlin running 24/7 or whatever local agent workflow is running.
Oc model inference speed and type of workflow influences most of these networks, so perhaps it's easier to define number of token pr project/result ?
So I were curious about what typical AI-workflow lemmies here run, and how many tokens that roughly implies on average, or on a project level scale ? Atmo I don't even dare to guess.
Thanks..
I could not tell that they were generated..
Hi all.
For a long long time I've been very happy with Signal, but have lately become rather annoyed that:
- it too often bugs me about about an update and forces me to do an update before I can write to my single/only recipient, and
- it too often bugs me about my pin code, even tho I never asked for such an annoying level of security.
These security measures are completely overkill for my/normal use, unnecessary, annoying and very aggressive. I'm an adult, and unless there's a super dangerous zeroday attack/vulnerability, I don't need constant forced updates, I don't want to retype a pin code for any reason or interval, and I certainly don't need to be told how I should run my system, when to upgrade or have software on my system that 'randomly' gets locked down for whatever reason.
Does anyone know how I can turn it off (Linux, Android) ? Is there another client fork that don't force me to follow their idea of what security level is necessary ?
Thanks, and apols for negativity..
I'm sick and tired of the Capitalist religion and all their fanatic believers. The Western right-wing population are the most propagandized and harmful people on Earth.
