I own this hat and it is everything I hoped it would be

OP is hittin’ us with the moth-related content we crave (and deserve)

It’s all computer

Based on how much the institutions of the US will continue to uphold, I think we’ll see the impact in 10 years or more. Hopefully, though – granted, hope isn’t an operational term, just an ideal – there will be some measure of course correction within that decade.

Last I recall, friendica was the most solid alternative. It is a fairly feature-complete analogue of Facebook and a few other social platforms. Maybe give it a look!

What a fantastic shot!

Nexus phones were the best

GrapheneOS affords you the ability to have completely isolated and distinct phone profiles, where you can install all your required work apps. They are installed separate from your main profile, kind of like second or third phone. No need for a completely different device.

GrapheneOS instantiates an improved version of this feature that Android already offers. It’s a great way to keep things separate. I do the same. Who wants to stuff their pockets or bags with more phones?

You can read about that here.

1. Pixel, and immediately install GrapheneOS.
2. A Linux based phone, like the PinePhone or Purism 5, and run your Android apps (if desired) inside Waydroid.

HELL YEAH BROTHER

Hello! I recently deployed GPUStack, a self-hosted GPU resource manager.

It helps you deploy AI models across clusters of GPUs, regardless of network or device. Got a Mac? It can toss a model on there and route it into an interface. Got a VM on a sever somewhere? Same. How about your home PC, with that beefy gaming GPU? No prob. GPUStack is great at scaling what you have on hand, without having to deploy a bunch of independent instances of ollama, llama.ccp, etc.

I use it to route pre-run LLMs into Open WebUI, another self-hosted interface for AI interactions, via the OpenAI API that both GPUStack and Open WebUI support!

@yogthos, coming in with that good-good

Read this entire thing, and it breaks my heart open + enrages me.

I have been doing my damnedest not to let anger be any more of a motivator than morality or principle. I want to retain some sense of rationality. I want to navigate this all well enough.

Today, after this article, anger is a major motivation. I am pissed.

If you are looking for a hardened phone, I would consider trying GrapheneOS for a bit, see if it does what you are looking for. Uses SELinux and a seccomp-bpf policy for app sandboxing, as well as runs a hardened kernel with a hardened memory alloc. Great isolation approach, too, so that you can run apps on a ‘completely different phone,’ so to speak – think of the isolation like a small version of the OS that can keep apps entirely separate. Finally, if desired (and needed for certain apps), you can sandbox all Google services so that they don’t have direct access. It’s is a different approach to, say, microG.

GrapheneOS is all about hardening. Security is solid.

VPN wise, Mullvad wireguard servers are also solid. You can do multihops, which help you obsfucate traffic to degree. They have also been playing around with packet shaping (if you use their app directly).

Sim cards can be swapped out if use a VoIP service like jmp.chat.

I remember reading somewhere that drivers beyond 550* may have some issues with linux right now. I might consider rolling them back to a version that was already working.

*Citation needed, but it was a lower version than what is currently the latest available

OMG please tell me this is a real AI-generated cartoon the WH posted

I love these!
