  • As a random internet user, I want to remind you, are we sure even if humans are that intelligent to begin with? All those steps you give, are not needed for intelligence.

    We keep moving the goal post for what intelligence is, and last I saw we have started to divide intelligence into different categories.

    LLMs are just "imitate as closely as possible human responses" for good and for bad. And now we are trying to fix that to be as right as possible, when the flaw is that we as humans are mostly always wrong.

  • Thanks for the extra details! I mean, it does make sense the way you are guiding the use case for the project. It's just not my use case :)

    In any case kudos for the job you've done!

  • Hey, pussies are great, don't compare them to that idiot.

  • Very promising! If I understand correctly though, I can't even create a note in offline mode to sync later? That would be a bit of a deal breaker for me personally. I couldn't see much details on e2ee either, but maybe I missed that. Anyway, really well done!

  • This is surprising... And completely unmanageable from a user's point of view. In order to find what licenses it has I need to browse folder by folder in the code, instead of, you know, having a list of licenses and where they apply.

    On a quick look I saw only two places with a special license, one is the example indicated by the developer of the server package which is an odd license that gives me pretty bad vibes for my lack of legal knowledge but probably is ok? It might even be reasonable, but what is the server package? Is that the server I self host? Or the server for paid Joplin? Then I found some other code that was an MIT license... But how deep do I need to go searching in the folder structure to find all licenses? This is irritating. I guess I gotta consider changing to something else then if only to be able to know what license I am using.

    Also... What is the legal implications of using a software than upon any update might suddenly add a weird random license? Would that mean I am expected to keep checking all foldernevery time they change something?

  • Not OpenAI, please! Do not attack the servers! Save the ram first!

  • Couldn't Frodo have thrown the ring into one and hope it eventually goes to Mordor's volcano? Anyway good luck retrieving it in there :)

  • Hmm so how does the workflow look like for you? Is the calibre web tied up to the DB of that calibre VNC? Do you manually add the books to calibre over the VNC? Then is calibre web allowed to make changes to the DB or does it have read only access? as far as I understand calibre is not recommended to have multiple sources of changes to the DB as it can end up corrupted or something? (At least it can't resolve conflicts I think)

    As a solution it seems like it could work, but it feels like over complicated to get around the limitations of calibre.

  • I've been using calibre since around 2009 and it is an incredible piece of software. For handling ebooks, specially for eBook readers and file formats, it has no equal. Unfortunately it is built around the idea of installing it into one computer and connecting your eBook to it. Which makes it a bit clunky in my opinion nowadays.

    Maybe calibre web fixes that, I need to check it one day. For actual books I think it falls between that and booklore.

    All the other options seem to be more indicated to comics and manga, which is another aspect I've been noticing calibre does not do such a great job. I think I'll have to keep two different ones, one for reading from a tablet comics and such and another for ebooks to send to the reader.

  • That looks like someone messed up the vector graphic icons. It doesn't look like an AI problem.

  • No apologies needed, I'm not even OP :) it was just a long shot :D

  • Are you in Europe by any chance? :)

  • I've been using lawnchair (which is a great substitute) ever since the news of the buyout from an ad company was announced, but that was a long time ago... Not sure why this is coming up now.

    Anyway, a few days back I found out a new launcher and I want to spread the love for it. It requires more effort to configure it at first but I'm really liking its UX and the simplicity of the screen. It is called dragon launcher and I am having a nice time making small incremental changes to personalize it more and more and has been working great for me: https://f-droid.org/packages/org.elnix.dragonlauncher

  • Awesome comment!

    About the dashboards, I have been using CasaOS for a while now, it is not a OS, but it decently handles containers and allows you to install a bunch of services in a very user friendly way. Nowadays (as I found out a few days ago) the project seems to be moving in the direction of a fully purposed OS with NAS capabilities plus the containers stuff. Unfortunately the project (under the name ZimaOS) has gone into proprietary software and (for now) a one payment level to unlock full options with a free limited version.

    I don't think I can recommend anymore to go with casaOS due to that (although for now casaOS remains free OSS kinda separate). I have been also looking for alternatives to set up a NAS and so far I am heavily leaning on OMV as it is a full OS with the idea of handling a NAS with all ready, plus it is based in Debian which is a plus for me too. Alternatively I am looking into YunoHost also, but I think it is not exactly what I want, although it looks promising.

    Edit: forgot to mention FreedomBox as another option that can work as a NAS OS of sorts that helps with self hosting services too.

  • Thanks for the feedback! I'll definitely check it up as I try to build a NAS to deal with the extra storage needs.

  • I have been using casaos and sincerely it is great as a simple solution to avoid some hassles. On the other hand if you are already handling those things yourself and are fine with it, it might have less value.

    I am considering some changes and now I am finding out that maybe having a backup of the configuration to set it up again later is not something I can get in casaos.

    Is ZimaOS even worth considering if is not Open Source?

    For me personally this is a key aspect. I would avoid any proprietary solution, or you will be left in a position where you have no control of your data. I definitely won't be checking zimaOS.

    Instead I want to check and maybe try yunohost or freedombox.

  • I just want to bring to attention something I was just finding out thanks to this post.

    I started self hosting some stuff by installing raw in arch and well... It was a pain, but worth it. Then later I found out about CasaOS, which is recommended by OP, and I agree, it was great to have it to install some more services and a lot easier. But just like OP I just found out about ZimaOS, which is announced even in casaOS project as a better system and an upgrade. So I went to check and the whole project is changing from open source in casaOs to proprietary in ZimaOs. Not content with that, in the latest release of ZimaOs they have added a one time payment to eliminate some limitations of the free version. It is still affordable and a "lifetime" license but if they have added a payment for full access once they might do it again, despite their current promises that they won't ever make a subscription style payment.

    So, careful with that project, I would recommend to avoid any solution that is proprietary or otherwise it won't be yours in the first place. I had in mind to change from CasaOs in Debian to OpenMediaVault to handle a DAS and install casaOS on top of that. But now I have to reconsider, so far I have already seen a few worth recommendations in this post that seem nice: FreedomBox and YunoHost to mention a couple that are FOSS.

  • The whole soundtrack is another piece of art at the level of the anime. And indeed, Sore Feet Song is wonderful!
