Is Proton working on AI assistant? in c/protonprivacy

[-] fart_pickle 2 points 21 hours ago

I would be happy to see privacy respecting AI assistant in Proton products, especially Proton Mail. English is not my native language and every now and then I need to use 3rd party services to compose a professional sounding email. Having this built into Proton Mail would have made my life easier. Also, having a feature that detects and labels faces and features in the pictures stored in a Proton Drive would be an amazing addition.

I'm so sick of every single medical-related question people have online constantly getting spammed with 'talk to your doctor!!!!' in c/unpopularopinion

[-] fart_pickle 14 points 22 hours ago

If you feel sick talk to your doctor. Internet "knowledge" doesn't work in case on medical issues. So called tips and tricks may work for a person who posted it but it could be dangerous for you. If calling a stranger (in this case a doctor's office) invokes anxiety, talk to a therapist.

How can I install Alpaka, ollama client? (self.linux)

submitted 23 hours ago by fart_pickle to c/[email protected]

I've been using open webui for some time but I wanted to test the Alpaka, a KDE app - https://apps.kde.org/alpaka/

When I click on an "Install on linux" button, Discover app is opening and gives me this error "Could not open appstream://org.kde.alpaka because it was not found in any available software repositories." When using dnf there's no such package as Aplaka. I can find and install other KDE apps. What am I missing?

I'm on Fedora 40, KDE spin.

Is Proton working on AI assistant? in c/protonprivacy

Ollama seems pretty good. I've been playing with it recently and when combined with openwebui, it makes pretty nice local chatgpt. But I agree, there are more pressing issues I would like to see fixed/implemented.

ollama + openwebui. Selfhosted (hasn't check if it tries to contact mothership yet) and pretty good with the answers, especially when ran on GPU.

There was a question about AI and privacy. Don't remember exactly what it was but it was something like "What do you care the most about integrating AI into products" and most of the answers were about the privacy.

Taking your ideas for my next linux app in c/[email protected]

Voice assistant that allows to perform common tasks like setting up calendar events, sending emails, opening apps, etc. Bonus points for "connect to server abc" and the assistant would open the terminal and ssh to abc server.

How to sync Akregator across devices? (self.selfhosted)

I'm a happy user of Inoreader. I like it so much I'm considering buying a premium plan. However, I'm looking for an alternative I wouldn't have to pay for. I came across FreshRSS. The only thing that's keeps me from moving is the sync. I don't want to expose it to the internet but I want to be able to access it on a move. My first idea was to use Syncthing. Is there a way to use Syncthing to sync feeds, settings (read articles, subscriptions, etc.) across different devices? By different devices I mean Linux, macOS (optional) and GrapheneOS (Android) phone.

Is there a way to add Spotify to Android Auto running GrapheneOS? So far I have gotten to the point where I can add a new shortcut using the Assistant command. However, no matter what I tried, I wasn't able to add Spotify to the apps.

Is rsync.net a good service for backups? (self.selfhosted)

submitted 1 month ago by fart_pickle to c/selfhosted

20 comments fedilink

I've been playing around with the self hosted apps for quite a while and I got to the point where I'm happy about my local setup. Next step is to setup reliable offsite backup. I'm using borgbackup as a tool to manage my backups (so far only local backups). I've been looking for an affordable yet reliable service to store my backups. Is rsync.net worth it? According to the "internet" it's a good service but wanted to double check. What do you think about it?
