“Using free Chinese models that you can run locally and offline is a security risk. People and businesses high on AI should be forced to use our expensive cloud-based models that funnel all their data through our servers and can be turned off or price-hiked by us at any moment!”

…by axing or redirecting (read: embezzling) funds once spent on actual science?

So… Here’s another resource that will become available again once the bubble pops?

I’ve seen Immich mentioned around here before, but I’ve honestly never set up even a real homelab or sever before, so that’s a bit daunting.

I haven’t been in this space for too long either, but immich is what brought me here. I tried it out locally - no deecated server, just spun up immich on my desktop machine to try it out. And it was just so good it made me want to have a server and learn the ropes.

I’d recommend you try it out this way too. We’ll see each other on the other side of that rabbit hole. ;)

Good luck expanding that to the rest of the world which is just discovering that, while not perfect, China’s open weights models are

a) good enough for 95% or all companies out there
b) a lot cheaper, also because they’re
c) self-hostable, meaning: they’ll always be available, unlike U.S. cloud AI which you’ll be cut off from whenever Diaper Donnie feels it’s time for yet another bribe.

I second this. Firmware on these controllers is really hit and miss. My first controller (gen 5, iirc) worked flawlessly out of the gate. My second (gen 6 (?)) would co connect and then disconnect again. A firmware update (on Windows, grml) did the trick back then (and now I’m not touching that shit again).

Obnoxious Windows 10 “upgrade” nag screens on Win 7. If you think you can push me, I’ll push back harder. That, and Snowden showing the world that American tech is backdoored all the way to hell and back.

Like showing up to the bank heist in a neon pink monster truck.

Man, your basement has the weirdest carpet I’ve ever seen. Also, much too bright for my taste. If you can see the keycaps without backlight, you’re doing the lighting wrong.

You patched the annoying “crash-on-start” bug! 😍 I was collecting diagnostics to help nail it down, but you guys were faster. Keep up the great work! 👍👍👍

Thanks for your detailed reply!

To make that happen, the attacker must […] already have access to the server to upload and process the file, which means that security has already failed.

Do I correctly assume that by axis you mean shell or even root level access? If not, any of my regular users (turned rogue…) could upload a poisoned raw file which nextcloud would process to, for instance, generate a thumbnail.

Corporate-driven > community-driven distros

It is now.

Is it Shitpost Saturday already?
