Even when you’re not sending data that you consider sensitive, it’s helping train their models (and you’re paying for it!).

Also what’s not sensitive to one person might be extremely sensitive to another.

Also something you run locally, by definition, can be used with no Internet connection (like writing code on a plane or in a train tunnel).

For me as a consultant, it means I can generally use an assistant without worrying about privacy policies on the LLM provider or client policies related to AI and third parties in general.

For me as an individual, it means I can query the model away without worrying that every word I send it will be used to build a profile of who I am that can later be exploited by ad companies and other adversaries.

I understand the benefits of running things locally, but why not just use Google's or OpenAI's LLM?

I understand the benefits of cutting down sugar, but why not just binge on cake and ice cream?

Sounds like you don’t understand the benefits of running things, and specifically LLMs and other kinds of AI models locally.

If you’re veggie/vegan, make sure you eat enough protein. For an adult male, that should be around 100g/day as a probably insufficient minimum.

Also supplement B12, which is mostly found in animal products.

Mostly and more importantly, don’t blindly follow dieting advice from random people on the Internet. Do your own research. Take a blood panel.

The web app works fine. The desktop app is Electron-based but works fine. Yes, it is all centralised on their servers.

In which sense do you fear it will be invasive? Other than Slack seeing your messages on Slack, I don’t see what else you could be worrying about. They will always have that kind of access regardless of what you do locally since it’s not E2EE, so really this question just feels like paranoia.

Don’t say things on Slack that you don’t want Slack to know about. That should be all, really.

If you don’t want Slack to see any of your messages, don’t use it.

I’ve been using glauth + Authelia for a couple years with no issues and almost zero maintenance.

Yes, absolutely. Ideally there would be an automated check that runs periodically and alerts if things don’t work as expected.

Monitoring if the backup task succeeded is important but that’s tue easy part of ensuring it works.

A backup is only working if it can be restored. If you don’t test that you can restore it in case of disaster, you don’t really know if it’s working.

“Gringo gaúcho” é italiano da serra que vai na missa enfatiotado e no inverno usa japona pra não pegar friagem.

Yep that kind. :)

Wrong nuts but good guess! I didn’t mean to say your bread looks tough, only that it doesn’t look gnarly as much as pumpernickel doesn’t either.

Enjoy!

They are also flooding markets with cheap(er) EVs. Unfortunately governments are doing what they can to make those more expensive through tariffs and import controls.

I guess it depends on where you are. Where I am the air is a lot less humid than in other places, and I have the opposite effect. I put the filament roll in the dryer and start printing. As time passes, like the filament gets dryer and stringing reduces.

He didn’t forget. In fact, he tried hard. This time, the checks and balances worked.

Unfortunately, even Lula managed to appoint a very conservative justice to the STF, his former lawyer Cristiano Zanin.
