Second this ^

I have one and it’s fine, but not directly supported by OpenWRT. Looks like Beryl and Slate are though

Please don’t assume anything, it’s not healthy.

Explicitly stating assumptions is necessary for good communication. That’s why we do it in research. :)

it depends on the license of that binary

It doesn’t, actually. A binary alone, by definition, is not open source as the binary is the product of the source, much like a model is the product of training and refinement processes.

You can’t just automatically consider something open source

On this we agree :) which is why saying a model is open source or slapping a license on it doesn’t make it open source.

the main point is that you can put closed source license on a model trained from open source data

1. Actually the ability to legally produce closed source material depends heavily on how the data is licensed in that case
2. This is not the main point, at all. This discussion is regarding models that are released under an open source license. My argument is that they cannot be truly open source on their own.

Quite aggressive there friend. No need for that.

You have a point that intensive and costly training process plays a factor in the usefulness of a truly open source gigantic model. I’ll assume here that you’re referring to the likes of Llama3.1’s heavy variant or a similarly large LLM. Note that I wasn’t referring to gigantic LLMs specifically when referring to “models”. It is a very broad category.

However, that doesn’t change the definition of open source.

If I have an SDK to interact with a binary and “use it as [I] please” does that mean the binary is then open source because I can interact with it and integrate it into other systems and publish those if I wish? :)

Do you plan to sue the provider of your “open source” model? If so, would the goal be to force the provider to be in full compliance with the license (access to their source code and training set)? Would the goal be to force them to change the license to something they comply with?

You would be obligated, if your goal were to be complying with the spirit and description of open source (and sleeping well at night, in my opinion).

Do you have the source code and full data set used to train the “open source” model you’re referring to?

My point precisely :)

A pre-trained model alone can’t really be open source. Without the source code and full data set used to generate it, a model alone is analogous to a binary.

If I license a binary as open source does that make it open source?

What makes it open source?

Excellent notes. If I could add anything it would be on number 4 – just. add. imagery. For the love of your chosen deity, learn the shortcut for a screenshot on your OS. Use it like it’s astro glide and you’re trying to get a Cadillac into a dog house.

The little red circles or arrows you add in your chosen editing software will do more to convey a point than writing a paragraph on how to get to the right menu.

I don’t mean to join the broken record crew here, but is this better than Syncthing in some way?

Syncthing is my answer though I appreciate it doesn’t get to the root of your question.

There are local backups that include your system settings, text messages, contacts, call history and (optionally) apps. The one thing I want is the ability to pick a directory for the local backup so I can make it work with syncthing without jumping through hoops.

It’s also compatible with Nextcloud and WebDAV if those are options for you.

I miss my pixel 5 :(

Chiming in to note that GNSS communications are actually receive only. A typical phone can’t physically broadcast a strong enough signal into mid-earth orbit (where most of those satellites typically are) to achieve the “pinging GPS satellites” issue.

Note this only refers to how that signal physically hits your phone. Once your position is deduced and digitized there’s an entirely different attack surface.

The other concerns (especially cell tower data tracking) are valid though.

Avoid AMD? Why do you say that?

I use my Framework 13 (Intel 12th gen) for some heavy CPU workloads and it’s been a champ! For the balance of quality, performance, cost, and repairability I really don’t think it can be beat.

You beat me to it! I have the same setup. Did you have any issues with the 39->40 update? It broke my icons in plasma

My solution is to use Rathole. I rent a wildly cheap (2 core, 4GB memory) VPS and basically just run Traefik there. Then I use Rathole to make some services hosted on my desktop available to Traefik.

I like this solution better than Wireguard for my application. It reduces attack surface to services you’ve explicitly set up, rather than a full data layer trunk between your machine and a potential malicious actor.

Ooh, I’ll definitely check out Voice!

I’m more of a desktop Jellyfin container person myself, but all roads lead to Rome in this case :) thanks for the input!

Does anyone know of a good alternative for Android?

Right now I just use Antennapod, but it would be nice to get chapters and whatnot built in.

Agreed. That said, with a few remotes and a cron job git could facilitate “duct tape and zip ties” federation.
