A bunch of people who couldn’t tell their left shift from their right shoelace think you don’t know what you’re talking about lol.

I agree, to a person who knows the machine, an AI is like a compiler: you know the output you’re going for, the tool helps you get there faster. Expecting you to do something the slow way because someone else doesn’t know how to code is nonsense. There is a massive difference between using it as a tool, and blindly taking generated code.

If the internet existed in the 70s, I bet people would have asked for a disclaimer on compiled assembly.

I’ve not heard of those, but to me this is a competitor to the much more ubiquitous Obsidian. Which works great, and has a whole community of support, but is not open source.

Personally, I don’t need my notes app not be responsible for syncing across devices either. I already have that for other file types (photos, media, etc).

I’m not against these features being added, but this app is young, afaik it’s one person writing it, so I’d rather see their time be spent making the note taking experience as good as it can be.

I also generally wouldn’t trust one person to properly audit the security of the networking and encryption features. If I wanted those features, I’d still give the community time to peruse the codebase.

I think it makes sense to handle this at a lower level. After using other notes apps, the thing I want is for it to not have some arbitrary opaque file hierarchy that locks me into it. I want a plain dir of .md files, some resources they link to, and that’s it. If I want disk encryption, there are solutions for that. I can use something like LUKs to encrypt my whole drive, or even just the notes directory.

For android, afaik everything uses disk encryption by default.

The unix philosophy is do one thing really well. We don’t need a note taking app that also handles encryption.

No one has ever gone out of their way to run windows. At least not in 25y.

That seems as reasonable as suggesting they could pass a law requiring everyone to hire a govt licensed computer user in order to interact with their devices, and otherwise touching a keyboard or touchscreen would be illegal.

It doesn’t feel like a realistic estimation of what they would actually try to do. There’s too much that is currently dependent on Linux, you’d do better to just dismantle and ban the internet.

Doesn’t even make sense. Virtually all Linux distros can function completely offline. How do you do age verification completely offline? Classic politician who doesn’t understand tech trying to look like they’re doing something to save the kids.

Damn…any good forks of bcache yet?

Ahem, you forgot the Console Wars

I agree. But you see how that’s beside the point, right?

I’ve invented a new type of Vegetarianism: instead of eating veggies for every meal, occasionally you’ll add meat to your diet as well. It’s really the best of both worlds.

I don’t know what is typical, but when I use AI locally I’ve been running llama-cpp with models grabbed from HF (ex. QwenCoder). Then in my VS code plugin (RooCode) I use the “OpenAI compatible” option to point it at my local server.

Not sure how hard that is to get working, but my hope is that “OpenAI Compatible” helps.

Are there plans for mobile apps? In particular, obsidian and nextcloud don’t seem to work well together on android. Changes made to files via obsidian don’t get picked up by nextcloud unless I manually go sync the file. This might just be nextcloud’s app dropping the ball.

I see on the page it says you can bring an anthropic or openai key. Can I also point it at my own locally hosted model?

I wonder if you could make a self-hostable data poisoning automation utility. Put in a bunch of credentials for various social media sites, and it creates unintelligible usage patterns associated with your online identities. Not so much for poisoning training of generative AI, but for destroying any internal profiles any party might attempt to build on you by correlating your online behaviour.

If everyone else moved, they would too. But no one will, so they won’t. Same as it ever was.

Does this mean lemmy users can’t have the same name as communities? I’d just never noticed.

The issue is that full screen games wouldn’t hold onto the mouse? Are these games running through proton (windows games being launched through steam)? If so, I know there’s an option in protontricks to tweak this behavior per game. “Automatically capture the mouse in full screen windows” in winecfg.

Alternatively, you can try tweaking your steam launch params to use gamescope. Ex.

gamescope -W 1920 -H 1080 -r 60 -- %command%

Where the params denote the resolution and refresh rate of the window. You may need to install gamescope from your package manager.

I have an edge router and switch, and two unifi APs. All accounts running locally. Works fine for my uses, though I think if I had it to do over again I’d investigate pfsense or opnsense. Not sure about hardware tho.

since it uses ZFS I don’t know it would be good for home use

TrueNAS is all I’ve used for my home for the better part of a decade. It’s been fine, what is your concern?

Here’s a good, quick summary. Skip to 13:16.
