Way back there weren’t any settlements, only nomadic tribes. They’d loose their shit alright. “Oh no, our transport and future food resources!”

I don’t need strange insertions in my posts to confuzzle any bots I think.

Have you considered you might be an AI living in a simulation so you have no idea yourself, just going about modern human life not knowing that everything we are and experience is just electrons flying around in a giant alien space computer?

If you haven’t, you should try.

That’s some strange looking pears, that’s for sure.

wiki

Good grief, just tell us the size. I skimmed the article and is none the wiser.

It’s like that wombat that have square poops, but the concretesaurus shits bricks.

The Game

Damn.

Did you draw that on a phone? Very nice!

👌😩🤌

It’s possible to run local AI on a Raspberry Pi, it’s all just a matter of speed and complexity. I run Ollama just fine on the two P-cores of my older i3 laptop. Granted, running it on the CUDA-accelerator (GFX card) on my main rig is beyond faster.

Ollama recently became a flatpak extension for Alpaca but it’s a one-click install from the Alpaca software management entry. All storage locations are the same so no need to re-DL any open models or remake tweaked models from the previous setup.

Or if using flatpak, its an add-on for Alpaca. One click install, GUI management.

Windows users? By the time you understand how to locally install AI, you’re probably knowledgeable enough to migrate to linux. What the heck is the point of using local AI for privacy while running windows?

I’ve been on lineage for ages and recently tried out /e/, was pleasantly surprised. Reminded me of a reskinned lineage with some FOSS/F-droid apps integrated into the system and some extra privacy stuff.

I particularly like the fake location and app tracker features.

When it comes to standardisation, there’s a minimum defaults-based system called GSI where the same distribution works across a lot of devices. But minimum defaults leaves a lot of devices specific features dead in the water. It’s more for development than distribution.

Is that like an error code for excel?

you

No I can’t. Have you considered you might be beyond normal smart about this stuff?

I don’t see the point of anything anymore, you folks need a community manager?

How much privacy respect do you feel you need? Self-hosting that stuff is the holy grail.

Fossify Calendar is a standard android calendar that pulls from the built-in android calendar storage. You can use any standard calendar like Fossify or Etar to mention two open source apps, much in the same way that you sync your nextcloud contacts to the built-in android contact storage. Any standard contacts app can interact with your nextcloud-stored’n’synced contacts.

Running Nextcloud for tasks, calendar and contacts on a self-hosted server is one of the more private solutions.

So you’re disappoint it wasn’t a rickroll of the original image?

Finally my moment to shine with incredibly niche knowledge!

Joplin, while it has the ability to encrypt the sync target (even if it’s a local folder synced with syncthing) does decrypt the content in the app data folder. The notes are in an unencrypted database while all attachments just hang out in the attachment folder.

This leaves the content vulnerable if the computer is compromised. But then again, apps that keep stuff encrypted at rest still have to decrypt it to memory - leaving the content vulnerable if the computer is compromised. 🤷‍♂️

All in all, Joplin is definitively one of the great, more secure note taking apps.

All we wanted was a Windows 7 with a modernized GUI.

What? No, keep it the same but keep on supplying security patches. The whole “modernized GUI” was what gave us the wonderful new GUI of Windows 8!
