Framasoft is a non-profit according to their site. Dont know where I saw govt funding, but I think the French govt gives them an alotment.

They seem alright:

At Framasoft, we dream of a better world. We don’t want to encourage a current system that is problematic (surveillance capitalism). We want to contribute to another system, which favours the commons. A path of hope, that is!

→ It’s political, because we are going against the grain of a capitalist vision where personal data is a source of enrichment for multinationals.

→ It’s political because preserving our freedoms is fundamental to maintaining a not too shabby democracy.

→ It’s political because we want to cooperate with those who defend this vision of the world.

Ah is this one of the fedi projects supported by French govt funding? They fund a lot of good shit.

Not sure why, but I’d assume it’s because the devs don’t use docker in the development process, so it’s less tested. Also might be WebTorrent having networking quirks, but idk. Docs also say something about not being able to handle changing hosts, which might be relevant, but that wording is ambiguous, so I’d normally think they mean “hostname”

This is good practice for something like a desktop machine.

Servers, especially explicitly communist peer-to-peer filesharing servers, require a degree of bulletproofing beyond this. Every chud or lib who can use the command line is gonna want to own your box, let alone more capable people or entities. All it takes is one CVE, and a PeerTube instance, nftables, and openssh is a lot of exposed surface area.

Idk, maybe I’m more paranoid than most, but I’d at least look into containerizing this setup. There’s a lot of hardening that can be done, but containers probably give you the most bang-for-buck effort-wise.

Firewalling always seems so finicky. I’d say binding SSH to the wireguard interface is a better bet. I don’t let anything route outside wireguard unless I’m explicitly hosting it for the public.

Highly, highly recommend containerizing your setup.

Keeps your runtime environment nice and consistent:

• Execution environment defined entirely in the container image
• Networking confined to only the container interface
• Data persists on only the very specific paths you mount into the container

No need to fuck with root privileges because it’s all stateless. Just SSH as a user in the docker group to talk to the docker socket, and bind that to your wireguard interface. And if shit gets owned, you can nuke everything since it all comes from images and just restore a backup.

That’s not reassuing 😅

Also, a kind, certified security expert contacted me by email and offered me a FREE assessment of my private keys and he said they meet “top standards”!

Please tell me this is a joke and you didn’t send some rando your private keys.

You don’t need to use Whisper, I got some names mixed up. I was thinking of wyoming-faster-whisper which uses the FOSS speech to text system faster-whisper, but there are others that can be used.

Edited my original comment to fix that.

Wyoming is a protocol for voice assistants.

It ties together:

• speech recognition services (faster-whisper, vosk, whisper.cpp, OpenAI’s Whisper API)
• text to speech services (piper)
• wake word detection services (openWakeWord, snowboy, porcupine1)
• intent handling services
• intent recognition services

Home Assistant can interact with that protocol. I think the addons run servers for various components used by the wyoming protocol server that the integration can use, but I run it separate from Home Assistant, so idk.

Not sure what futo is capable of, but you can use anything that can communicate with a wyoming server. I’m willing to wager you can, but idk.

OpenAI’s ChatGPT API and LLM models are orthogonal to this, but probably could be used as an intent or as the fallback when no other intent was recognized. So I’m pretty sure you could link up getting a response from OpenAI or any other LLM API, but I haven’t tried setting that up for myself yet. wyoming-handle-external lets you pipe the input text to the stdin of whatever program you give it and responds with the program’s stdout, so you could definitely use this to pass it to OpenAI or Ollama.

Incredible ROI

Understandable! I’m learning Rust, so hopefully I can start contributing to the Lemmy server soon.

Thank you devs! This client is my daily driver for lemmy on mobile.

One thing I sorely miss vs. the web UI is inserting emotes in comments, are there any plans for that?

Sadly true. Even if we don’t have aspirations of being on the lib to left pipeline, we definitely scare people off by being overzealous with dogpiling.

I think people should be more patient with those who have lib-smelling inquiries, but I’m all in favor of bullying the bad-faith posters incapable of questioning their assumptions. I see more of the latter than the former, which is why I think so many here are quick to start roasting.

I find it amusing when there are threads with half the responses are giant walls of text trying to explain things and the other half pictures of a pig shitting on its testicles.

Makes me wish Lemmy supported having both federated & unfederated comms or per-comm federation lists, so we could have federated 101-type spaces where dunks are explicitly removed, and unfederated shitposting free from intrusion.

✅ I’m in this picture and I don’t like it

The US definitely cares where that happens. They could give a rats ass if every stupid trinket, knick-knack, or unsophisticated gadget was manufactured in China.

What they care very deeply about limiting is high-tech developments, semiconductor fabrication, and heavy industry.

These pose a serious threat to the US’s ability to subjugate the rest of the world into allowing indefinite extraction of natural resources. Why do business with the West when China will provide technology that is of equal or superior quality with fewer strings attached? China has an extremely low bar to clear in terms of equality of exchange, and only needs to keep developing itself to put an end to US hegemony.

At which point, the rest of the world can sanction and exclude the West because the West largely extracts while producing very little in terms of material goods.
