It’s awesome to see a project written with Zig!

I also use Homebank, and it’s more than enough for my needs as a single guy

Google Glass finally making a comeback?

macOS, ChromeOS, SteamOS, AWS, Samsung Tizen, literally any embedded device, …

In general I agree with the sentiment of the article, but I think the broader issue is media literacy. When the Internet came about, people had similar reservations about the quality of information, and most of us learned in school how to find quality information online.

LLMs are a tool, and people need to learn how to use them correctly and responsibly. I’ve been using Perplexity.AI as a search engine for a while now, and I think they’re taking the right approach. It employs LLMs at different stages to parse your query, perform web searches on your behalf, and summarize findings. It provides in-text citations as well, which is an opportunity for a media-literate person to confirm the validity of anything important.

Amnesty International provides a FOSS tool to check your mobile backups for traces of the Pegasus Spyware. I’d trust that over a sketchy proprietary app. Link: https://docs.mvt.re.

“A quick peek behind the curtain”

Whether the new Apple Intelligence features are useful depends on who you ask. But I do greatly appreciate that inference is performed on-device. I think that’s a step in the right direction.

No thank you

I watched “Buy Now!” last night. The editing was a bit campy, but overall it was interesting. I appreciated seeing both iFixit and Framework being represented!

Like others, I have a folder in my home directory called “Code.” Most operating systems encourage you to organize digital files by category (documents, photos, music, videos). Anything that doesn’t fit into those categories gets its own new directory. This is especially important for me, as all my folders except Code are synced to NextCloud.

It’s the logo of “0din”, which is a Mozilla-backed bug bounty (say that five times fast) with a focus on GenAI

I thought it was going to be the Chinese lady who recorded, “the Bluetooth device is ready to pair” 😂

Anyone who found this interesting should check out Nick Harkawway’s novel Gnomon. It’s set in a near-future society with a similar kind of omnipresent and ambivalent AI/surveillance system, combined with some fantasy elements.

“The day God intervened” is crazy. I’m not religious, and clearly neither is Trump. Straight up blasphemy…

I use yadm’s post-checkout script feature to accomplish this on my machines.

If I understand your question, you can just assign some of your server endpoints a public IP/URL and keep some others behind the firewall. My home lab exposes some services to the open internet, while others are only accessible with a VPN.
