All the cloud platforms use your data to train LLMs. Local-first tools are the way to fight back. Security, defense, finance, healthcare, government... the reason high-security orgs use Obsidian is for the privacy and ownership of their data. Now every team can be sovereign.

Not gonna lie: watching the baltics synchronize with UTCE is kinda cool. Having the mains frequency open on my second monitor for the last few hours. Kinda rare to see systems do that kind of thing. (Good reminder that modern infrastructure is amazing)

With just about every piece of technology up until now, when it's not working correctly that is apparent to the user in some way. The reason LLMs and today's versions of "AI" scare me is that users think they are working correctly even when they're putting out nonsense.

Det bliver først rigtig jul når "Blindes Jul" er købt. @danskblindesamfund.bsky.social Og nu vi er ved emnet, så vær opmærksom på at man i Settings->Accessibility->Alt text kan sætte et flueben så man altid bliver bedt om at skrive en beskrivelse af de billeder mm. man poster. 🧐

Alright, let’s make a backup of Bluesky. All of it. To make it interesting, I don’t want to use the official Relay. Instead, let’s make a custom archival node. I want to try running it on this, a 32-bit Arm board with recycled magnetic drives. (It’s called a Helios4 and it’s blue!)

A blue acrylic box, it’s partially transparent, and almost entirely filled by four 3.5” hard drives.

depends on how aggressively compaction runs, but about 7TiB right now for the carstore, plus 1TiB for the event buffer and like 4TiB for postgres. No it does not store blobs

I recently saw an amazing Navajo rug at the National Gallery of Art. It looks abstract at first, but it is a detailed representation of the Intel Pentium processor. Called "Replica of a Chip", it was created in 1994 by Marilou Schultz, a Navajo/Diné weaver and math teacher. 1/n

A Navajo rug with a complex pattern with muted reds, pinks and blues. The pattern consists of various vertical and horizontal rectangles with stripes. Around the border are small alternating black and colored rectangles. The weaving is mounted in a wooden frame and hanging on the museum wall.

Handling Cookies is a Minefield: Inconsistencies in the HTTP cookie specification and its implementations have caused a situation where countless websites (including Facebook, Netflix, Okta, WhatsApp, Apple, etc.) are one small mistake away from locking their users out. grayduck.mn/2024/11/21/h...

The atproto/Bluesky protocol is fully open and highly decentralized. Just like the web was. The current atproto/Bluesky network is fairly centralized because it’s so new there aren’t many network providers yet. Just like the web was.

Here's what I'm working on next for Obsidian Web Clipper. Shameless ask — if you've been enjoying the extension, give it a review wherever you downloaded it. It really keeps me going 💜
