There is no need for mass surveillance of public spaces. The moment data is collected, it can be misused, so it is better that nothing be collected in the first place. This is what a truly robust privacy policy looks…
How does the performance compare?
It's more complex than that. LittleSnitch or other application firewalls won't help when programs like package managers legitimately need to access the Internet. And figuring what what is being sent would require…
You are being naive. An Apple device makes dozens of network requests every minute or so to Apple. It is neigh on impossible to verify that is being requested or sent. Also unplugging the Internet and verifying that…
> It's not open weight, but the point is to be an on device (and thus local, privacy preserving) option. How can you be sure this isn't leaking data or metadata to Apple? Can Apple really be trusted?
You should also check that mountpoints like external disks and network resources aren't publicly accessible to other users than your own.
If this isn't open source/weights and can't run locally, I don't see how this is a replacement for Whisper or other open models, e.g. within Home Assistant.
I would go further and not upload anything that isn't encrypted to cloud storage services. It is extremely likely that those "services" inspect your files.
You should ALWAYS run your agent as separate, unprivileged, UNIX user, never in your main account. If you absolutely need to run it as your own user, you should bubblewrap it. I do this for things like Steam, games, or…
This is interesting, but even without relying on JS, most users are already fingerprintable by the combination of IP + user agent.
Claude gets its own UNIX account on my dev machine. I would never trust it not to read .ssh or other sensitive private information in my home directory or elsewhere. In view of this, I should probably go further and…
It's time to start using an ad blocker, I don't see any ads on that page with Firefox and uBlock Origin.
In a heatwave, you need AC, not a fan. Moving hot air around without cooling it is pretty much useless.
Last time I checked, you couldn't get a public IPv4 through Starlink, let alone a fixed one. This makes it a non-starter as a backup link for self-hosters, a use case it is well suited for.
The Pi 5 has always been a horrible value, even at MSRP.

Unfortunately, it's used to spy on you, and insurance companies are known to buy the data to profile customers or prospective customers. The good thing about Fords is that the cell modem often has its own fuse.
How can you possibly bill someone without billing information?
No, it's easier to put a tax on American AI companies.
Unhinged rant, this has nothing to do with Israel.
Ryzen 5 with a dual 10Gbps NIC, running Debian. Overkill for a router/firewall, but I run other services on the same hardware including an email stack, Podman containers, and small AI model for use within Home…
And this is why I handroll my own routers/firewalls, using commodity hardware and a Linux distribution.
Yes, because removing car lanes while car usage is growing (due to demographics and urban development) it totally the right approach.
You forgot the bike lanes that take up road space but nobody uses. Every socialist mayor's favorite anti-car policy.
