I started having arguments online back on Fidonet and Usenet. I'm too tired to care now.

    DeArrow is an open source browser extension for crowdsourcing better titles and thumbnails on YouTube.

  • Love it. While not all titles get replaced (crowd sourced) just the fact that the thumbnails get normalized is enough for it to be worth it.

  • Kagi is announcing a AI Assistant.

  • This is the way to do it.

    all of these features are on-demand

    none of the things you don’t [need] (such as user data harvesting, ads & tracking).

    Choice of leading LLM models from all the leading providers (OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Mistral, …)

    All threads are private by default, retained only as long as you want and subscriber data is not used for training models

  • Instance admins, how much does it cost you to run your instance? How much does that represent per active user?

  • I think a lot of people start up a server because at the time it fits with what they want to do. Once you realize this is not a job (correct description) you wanted to take on it becomes much harder to motivate it.

    As soon as you run a server for others outside of the immediate friends/family circle it can be really difficult to deal with the expectations of uptime and service. Also, some don't want to ask for help but also take on all the moderation themselves too.

  • @seb@ioc.exchange publishes the costs for ioc.exchange:

    Servers are hosted at Linode and hosting costs are around $300/month. Media files are hosted in AWS S3 and the costs are around $50/month. So in total our running costs are about $350/month.

    Unfortunately the donations still don't cover it.

    This is your regular reminder that our hosting costs are roughly $350 per month. In the last 30 days you all have contributed $216. Thank you very much for everyone who has contributed - You are awesome!
