Ugh of course. Thanks for pointing that out

Maybe https://agelesslinux.org/ or systemd free distro https://without-systemd.org/wiki/index_php/Linux_distributions_without_systemd/

Which already has a revert commit https://github.com/systemd/systemd/pull/41179

Or this is just bullshit to make AI seem more capable than it really is. The tale of the LLM that deleted the researchers emails was also sus. There is no such thing as bad publicity.

I just switched back to vaultwarden. My vaultwarden data is backed up as part of my nightly backups. Desktop and android use bitwarden clients. Seeing as https://codeberg.org/small-hack/open-slopware/src/branch/main states keepassxc is using AI to create PRs. Otherwise you could see how seafile might work for you to sync your keepass db. If you are on android with termux you can run syncthing in termux which also works and avoids the issue with the syncthing fork

If they digitally nuke them. I don’t want to be apathetic to death and injury

Iocaine? I followed the instructions on the website which were fairly easy to follow. Depending on your skill level it might suffice.

As others have said, you are as safe as running a non exit node

• Seeing the rising request count as ai bots circle around in iocaine
• Knowing where my photos and files are
• Having useful services that don’t require a subscription to random company
• Learning and experimenting with things

Fastmail is hosted in Australia which has some iffy privacy laws thst may affect fadtmail (although fastmail won’t sell your data at least) https://www.e4237161d240bc6333d6834ce-19834.sites.k-hosting.co.uk/showthread.php?s=23fc90acb4f52ac90ee43d800bb66a77&t=74082

I have moved to mailbox.org which has been great too. Just offering an alternative in case you are interested in a European host

I can’t comment as I’ve not used scheme but looking at scheme’s syntax, elixir is much nicer. It’s supposed to take some of its inspiration from Ruby.

The big seller is that it runs on the Erlang VM so you get all the goodies for free: supervisor trees, OTP, processes, even able to call Erlang directly. It is both scriptable and compiled. Not so much suited for high performance computing though as benchmarls will show, but it is interesting to learn and I have gained a lot from exposing myself to functional programming paradigms.

Elixir. Especially with OTP to write distributed systems. Or with phoenix and liveview for web apps

It’s a functional language based on Erlang with a nicer syntax

It was some dodgy accounting accusations/reveals https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2025/04/backblaze-responds-to-claims-of-sham-accounting-customer-backups-at-risk/

For me it was an excuse to try something new and cover my ass just in case this didn’t pan out. But overall it looks to have blown over

I used to use B2 before the whole CEO financial issues came out (not another one accused of something unsavoury) and wasn’t sure how it’s going to pan out. I switched to a cheaper (per GB) Hetzner storage box and am super happy with it

I use restic, specifically https://github.com/garethgeorge/backrest for making backups and uploading them via rclone.

A lot of good stuff here. Especially realising how useful an LLM actually is for coding. It’s a tool and like most tools has a purpose and a limit. I don’t use a screwdriver to put in nails (well sometimes I do at a pinch, but the results suck) or cut wood in half. Spicy autocomplete is probably a good use case, but even then “use with care” should be employed.

The whole “prompt it correctly” stuff is pn point. People have written books on how to correctly and effectively prompt the LLM. If I need to read a book to learn something, why not just read the book on how to do the thing? Or use the LLM to summarise the book, then at least you’re going to get somewhat accurate information. We had someone create an AGENTS.md at work and I read it and it just sounds like a joke “You are expert in this and the human known everything. If unsure ask the human” etc. If the main gain is that I don’t need to type so much I might as well use voice dictation.

That is aside the financial, environmental, health, and safety issues and damages that are all bundled in for free. If people just saw it for what it is, instead of glamourising them as the panacea for all their problems.

I was also wondering this. There’s some info here specifically https://forum.torproject.org/t/are-there-any-risks-to-running-standalone-snowflake-on-home-network-if-so-how-significant-are-they/16710/5
