Maybe Write Freely? You get 3 blogs for 6 dollars a month or you can host it yourself since it’s open source.

Immich might work.

DaseinPickle ,

If people actively pay for this, they are bloody idiots.

DaseinPickle ,

Yes, but they do it in a way that make rich people even richer. And the trickle down economy makes sure that it also makes politicians richer.

DaseinPickle ,

How could anybody stop the AI robbers from stealing content from the fediverse?

DaseinPickle ,

It seems to matter for the users at Stack Overflow. And why should anybody give anything for free to the crooks in Silicon Valley. All they do is create technology designed to extract value out of people and give as little as possible back.

DaseinPickle ,

It’s not about privacy. It’s about AI companies stealing other peoples work and knowledge and profiting. Like what they did with artists. And I think that’s bothering a lot of people. It’s kind of sad that we cannot exchange information with each other for free, without some Silicon Valley crooks taking advantage and trying to convert other people’s good will into profit.

These LLMs are also polluting the web with AI junk and slop. The web is absolutely tainted with shitty ChatGPT text and images, making it harder and harder to find authentic information. I think a lot of people don’t want to contribute with that.

DaseinPickle ,

I don’t think this can be solved with any type of technology. It needs legislation. These AI companies need regulation.

DaseinPickle OP ,

I think something like Simplex Chat is easier to use.

https://simplex.chat/

DaseinPickle OP ,

It’s owned by Meta/Facebook a company that’s makes its money spying on users. Signal or Simplex Chat are much better choices.

DaseinPickle ,

Maybe he should focus on adding e2e encryption to the default chats and group chats instead of spreading FUD.

“One rich dude I met once at a dinner party. Totally legit. “

DaseinPickle ,

Maybe fix Telegrams privacy problems.

https://www.404media.co/this-tool-shows-some-telegram-users-approximate-physical-location/

DaseinPickle ,

It’s not nothing if Telegram makes people believe they only share their location in a limited manner, but instead broadcast it to the whole world. That’s a serious breach of trust. I don’t know why Telegram users keep making excuses for that platform.

DaseinPickle ,

I mean it’s pretty bad to practice mass surveillance.

DaseinPickle ,

Maybe not Russia, but they sure are working with a certain government:

She links to a news article: https://www.saudigazette.com.sa/article/641746/SAUDI-ARABIA/Etidal-Telegram-remove-over-16-million-extremist-contents-in-early-2024

I don’t think Telegram denies doing mass surveillance. They might deny targeting queer groups and claim to only target extremist, whatever that means.

DaseinPickle ,

I’m sure the Saudis are super fair and would not dream of targeting queer people.

DaseinPickle ,

There is a warning from a user on Reddit. Might be worth considering before buying. https://www.reddit.com/r/selfhosted/comments/16qekm6/dont_buy_an_umbrel/

DaseinPickle ,

From Reddit:

“I bought an Umbrel.com home server hoping to have a dedicated device to run my favorite software on. I spent $500 and got an Umbrel.

Their "app store" is small, outdated (from an app update perspective), and filled with cryptocurrency junk. I should also mention that its difficult to use non-approved software, requiring your own GitHub repo with config files, docker setup, and a few other things. No one-click button to import software.

The hardware is half as good as a used 1L mini-PC that you can get on Amazon for $170, and itll give you more control.

The Umbrel has an HDMI port hidden inside, so if you want to use it you must cut a hole in the side for it. The only way to accees its interface is with a slow, buggy, and heavy web UI.

Don't buy an Umbrel, buy a $100 used 1L machine and save yourself a headache and $400.

EDIT: I asked for a refund and was denied since they don't offer them to anyone. Huge red flag!”

DaseinPickle ,

Why not get an Intel N100? It’s about the same price and much better performance. Raspberry Pis is kind of overpriced these days.

DaseinPickle ,

That’s cheap. If a raspberry pi 5 with power supply, case, nvme ssd is about 270 euro in my country. That’s about the same for a N100 mini pc.

DaseinPickle ,

Unfortunately they wont.People will rather use an unsecure Windows version than try something new.

DaseinPickle ,

It’s so fucking sad that we have build these nation states were psychopaths can climb to the top and murder people with a huge military apparatus.
