I’ve been thinking about this topic this week as well for some reason, so this is timely for me. Thanks for posting.

Lumo is based upon open-source language models

It seems they arent saying just yet.

Hard no. My LLM conversations are confidential because they happen locally offline. I dont need a corporation having access, thanks.

паляниця

Transliterated as palianytsia, Ukraine uses this word because it is difficult for native russian-speakers to pronounce.

And now they have a drone named after it, so that is a thing.

Okay, this didn’t make me twitch at all. Nope.

Or might as well say “Yes, I like money and want to sell to the DoD.” Source: may have used it in a slide deck once. Not actually sure, as the phrase wasnt as popular back then.

ew. Tell your government to stop mandating spyware.

Graphene does let you re-lock the bootloader. IIRC, whether an app works depends on whether they require SafetyNet full, or just basic. I have so far only found one app that refuses to work. However… it looks like MitID was recently updated and no longer works.

Starting on 2024-06-12, MitID have started using Google Play Integrity API during activation. This means that new installations will no longer work in GrapheneOS nor any other non-stock Android, as they are not certified by Google and will not pass the required checks. The app still works (for now) if you managed to get it activated before that date.

I agree it would be concerning if I allowed Gemini access to my phone. Fuck that. This shit is exactly why I am on GrapheneOS.

Holy shit you actually covered my use case perfectly (pocket+kobo > koreader+wallabag)! Thanks for putting this together, it is great.

I am re-re-factoring my plans for homelab 3.0 and the migration to it. Hardware budget is non-existant so I am trying to figure out how to do everything with what I already own, while re-organizing to better use what I have to make some room. Adding a few sticks of RAM and replacing some older cat5 are all I will do this year.

Not much, really. I do comment changes to config files and such.

I have only tested them a bit and it worked fine, but I havent relied on it “in production”, as it were. I use that machine for too many things for it to be any kind of benchmark. Mine is running on an old HP workstation w/ a 7th gen iGPU chip. I am also relying on it for plex and unmanic using QSV for transcoding. It only ever has trouble if I over-tax it with those.

I use Nextcloud (currently using their AIO docker images) for all of that. Not sure if it checks all the boxes perfectly, but if not it is probably as close as youll find ready-made.

I never use a Play Store version of anything I can find on F-droid or other repos I trust. Then I try it using Aurora Store. Only as a last-resort I try Google. Play Store is only for things I cannot obtian or replace another way.

I don’t know about you, but that sort of question would g8ve me the creeps and likely have me heading for the exits if it came up during an interview. I guess I must move in different circles than the author.

I usually use NeoStore, but I dont love it either so I guess I will give f-droid a try again.

And of course, they control the hardware and software. I wouldnt risk it as a foreign national who has occasionally done work in the defense industry, but everyone has a different risk tolerance.
