Power management is going to be a huge emerging issue with the deployment of transformer model inference to the edge.
I foresee some backpedaling from this idea that “one model can do everything”. LLMs have their place, but sometimes a good old LSTM or CNN is a better choice.
Yeah, this is actually a pretty great application for AI. It’s local, privacy-preserving and genuinely useful for an underserved demographic.
One of the most wholesome and actually useful applications for LLMs/CLIP that I’ve seen.
Yeah, but it’ll be Secure Enclave in data centre hardware, not on your phone. Basically they’re just using their own proprietary HSMs to encrypt data on the server.
Not convinced that this will really add any privacy benefits over other confidential computing solutions already offered by AWS/Google Cloud/Azure. That said, it is fairly private - just not as good as on-device.
Ideally you want something that gracefully degrades.
So, my media library is hosted by Plex/Jellyfin and a bunch of complex firewall and reverse proxy stuff… And it’s replicated using Syncthing. But at the end of the day it’s on an external HDD that they can plug into a regular old laptop and browse on pretty much any OS.
Same story for old family photos (Photoprism, indexing a directory tree on a Synology NAS) and regular files (mostly just direct SMB mounts on the same NAS).
Backups are a bit more complex, but I also have fairly detailed disaster recovery plans that explain how to decrypt/restore backups and access admin functions, if I’m not available (in the grim scenario, dead - but also maybe just overseas or otherwise indisposed) when something bad happens.
Aside from that, I always make sure that all of all the selfhosting stuff in my family home is entirely separate from the network infra. No DNS, DHCP or anything else ever runs on my hosting infra.
It would be better to have this as a FUSE filesystem though - you mount it on an empty directory, point the tool at your unorganised data and let it run its indexing and LLM categorisation/labelling, and your files are resurfaced under the mountpoint without any potentially damaging changes to the original data.
The other option would be just generating a bunch of symlinks, but I personally feel a FUSE implementation would be cleaner.
It’s pretty clear that actually renaming the original files based on the output of an LLM is a bad idea though.
Android still doesn’t have shake-to-undo. I use iOS and Android and switch between them regularly for work, and every time I typo something or accidentally delete a bunch of text on Android, it’s incredibly jarring to not have the undo capability.
Ohh, my bad! I thought the person you were replying to was asking about Gitea. Yeah, Forgejo seems truly free and also looks like it has a strong governance structure that is likely to keep things that way.
This sadly isn’t true anymore - they now have Gitea Enterprise, which contains additional features not available in the open source version.
From here:
Don’t use Gitea, use Forgejo - it’s a hard fork of Gitea after Gitea became a for-profit venture (and started gating their features behind a paywall).
Codeberg has switched to Forgejo as well.
Also, there’s some promising progress being made towards ActivityPub federation in Forgejo! Imagine a world where you can comment on issues and send/receive pull requests on other people’s projects, all from the comfort of a small homeserver.
Songs and albums that I’ve uploaded from my own collection have disappeared from Apple Music, despite my physically owning them on CD and Apple advertising the ability to store my CD rips in the cloud.
It’s unacceptable. I’m still on Apple Music for now, but moving my music library to Jellyfin looks more appealing by the day.
Agreed, and it could definitely make such an assumption. The other aspect that I don’t really get is… if a superintelligent entity were to eventuate, why would it care?
We’re going to be nothing but bugs to it. It’s not likely to be of any consequence to that entity whether or not I expected/want it to exist.
The anthropomorphising going on with the AI hype is just crazy.
Yeah bro but eXpOnEnTiAl ImProVeMeNt bro!
And haven’t you heard of Roko’s basilisk? Better be careful what you say on the cybernets, lest our AGI/ASI overlords of 2026 take a disliking to your commentary regarding their eventual supremacy!
Excuse me while I go back to mining Dogecoin until I can buy enough NFTs to make Elon or Sam Altman notice me.

Sure, but I should be able to have both. We used to have both, and it was taken from us by monopolistic megacorps.
So, I accept that the situation is what it is, but I’m allowed to be pissed off about it. I’m also allowed to support regulations that would force Apple to give their users options.
As a power user, I find Apple’s approach to sideloading insulting as a customer and blatantly anticompetitive.
I buy an Apple phone because the phone market is effectively a duopoly: Android or iOS. I choose iOS over Android because of its much longer security support window and better accessory ecosystem (AirPods Pro + Apple Watch in particular), and also because I don’t want absolutely everything in my life to be owned by Google.
None of that detracts from the fact that Apple’s position on this issue hurts its customers and is fucking annoying. And their claims of “it’s for security” are disingenuous at best.
Moon is such a fantastic film in its own right. Absolutely shook me when I saw it the first time.
It’s an interesting idea! I think there are many such applications for federation protocols.
A few thoughts/questions:
It’s a risk that I’m willing to take, personally.
But tbf I do make sure that I own my primary mail domain.
Website hosting and such thing? Njal.la all the way. Never had an issue with them.
Edit: oof, clearly some irrational hate for njal.la here. I state my personal preference and get downvoted… is this reddit now?!
Sonarr + Radarr + Transmission-OpenVPN + Ombi + Plex.
For the past ~5 years or so, I’ve had the choice of a polished web UI to pirate any movie or TV show on demand. Up until the past few months, I have still paid for:
… because their products and recommendation engines were more user-friendly for my family and I. Since the pattern of price gouging in the last 6-12 months, I now subscribe to:
I hope the shameless cash grabs result in a mass exodus of users and really hurt these platforms.
It’s still extremely common over here in Australia, and I often get dirty looks for tapping “No Tip”.
The pressure is definitely mounting.
