Thanks to everyone that has replied, all fair points. When you use (read, view, listen to…) copyrighted material you’re subject to the licensing rules, no matter if it’s free (as in beer) or not.

This means that quoting more than what’s considered fair use is a violation of the license, for instance. In practice a human would not be able to quote exactly a 1000 words document just on the first read but “AI” can, thus infringing one of the licensing clauses.

Some licensing on copyrighted material is also explicitly forbidding to use the full content by automated systems (once they were web crawlers for search engines)

Basically all these possibilities or actual licensing infringements would require a negotiation between the involved parties.

This process is akin to how humans learn by reading widely and absorbing styles and techniques, rather than memorizing and reproducing exact passages.

Many people quote this part saying that this is not the case and this is the main reason why the argument is not valid.

Let’s take a step back and not put in discussion how current “AI” learns vs how human learn.

The key point for me here is that humans DO PAY (or at least are expected to…) to use and learn from copyrighted material. So if we’re equating “AI” method of learning with humans’, both should be subject to the the same rules and regulations. Meaning that “AI” should pay for using copyrighted material.

I wish it was usable enough… loved BeOS and I really hope to have Haiku as my daily driver one day

That’s because linuxserver focuses on creating docker images for existing projects.

Usually if you check a product on linuxserver.io is because you know already the product and you want to find a good quality docker (docker compose) image.

All the github and docker pages from linuxserver have the same structure and after the generic intro they present the project.

Personally I love what they’re doing but I understand your confusion, it was the same for me when I first knew of the project.

It’s explained in the FAQ: https://www.beeper.com/faq#how-can-i-self-host-beeper I’ve not used the app so I don’t know how practical/easy it is but they’re at least offering the option, which is laudable.

For what I understood the decryption/encryption process happens on the bridge. The bridge is the selfhosted component so the transformation would happen in your server and they would have no visibility over the unencrypted message.

It is possible nowadays: I’m hosting quite a few services on an 5 years old Android. Just with Termux, no root required. Of course connectef it’s just to the internal network due to all the security concerns mentioned in the post.

To solve all the bandwidth/connection issues, I’ve bought a usbc-ethernet dongle that works like a charm.

To mitigate battery issues I’ve limited the charging to 85%.

I would never host Jellyfin there, but with webdav and Kodi I can get my media served easily to all my devices at home

Thanks a lot! Much better :)

Unfortunately I didn’t give it a try.

I tried HA Bluetooth presence detector on my PC some time ago with not so good results and since that time I didn’t gave another go.

I saw a Termux-bluetooth package so it could be a feasible thing.

Until one week ago I was using an old Samsung S20 with good results. I moved to a mini PC as I wanted to host Immich server and I felt it was too much for the phone (it might not be the case though…)

A quick extract from an old post of mine on what I was running: https://lemmy.world/comment/354199

Software: Termux (android app) SSH (OpenSSH in Termux) Rclone (in Termux) Sonarr, Radarr, Lidarr, Prowlarr (in proot-distro) Transmission (in proot-distro) Kavitha (in proot-distro) Podgrab (in proot-distro) Ombi (in proot-distro) ntfy (in proot-distro) Filebrowser (in proot-distro) Vaultwarden (in proot-distro) Homer with lighttpd (in proot-distro)

TLDR: Go for it! Use Termux with proot-distro to avoid headaches

Usually companies that use open source software in their products contribute actively to the projects. And with “actively” I mean sponsoring the project and/or contributing to the development with PRs. Considering the “rude” reply, it seems that there were already other arguments between the dev and the one that reported the bug.

With Armbian installed, you can offload services that require to be always active on the box and create an “on-off” schedule for the homelab. This will save quite some electricity usage especially if your homelab is beefy

Correct, that’s when you try to hack a device. It’s purely random and chances are based on your skills, augments etc.

Are you referring to the device hacking? If that’s the case it’s purely random for what I recall. High hacking skills means higher chances to get a good node. The only part I was paying attention to were which node to unlock first. I chose them so that if they came out as bad I didn’t block two or more lines from potential success

Retroarch, hands down :) Any core will do fairly well, S22 is quite capable. I love the retro-achievements functionality, ir adds more depths to some games

Loved all of these, great list. I’d add:

• syndicate
• XCOM UFO
• Ultima VII (a real masterpiece both as a game and as software)

No Docker unfortunately, it would require either to recompile the mobile Kernel or use QEMU and I believe it would have a big impact on the performances. Basically this time the approach was: what can I do with an old mobile without rooting or anything. Hardware:

• Samsung S20
• USB3 to Ethernet & charger port
• 128GB SD card

Sofrware:

• Termux (android app)
• SSH (OpenSSH in Termux)
• Rclone (in Termux)
• Sonarr, Radarr, Lidarr, Prowlarr (in proot-distro)
• Transmission (in proot-distro)
• Kavitha (in proot-distro)
• Podgrab (in proot-distro)
• Ombi (in proot-distro)
• ntfy (in proot-distro)
• Filebrowser (in proot-distro)
• Vaultwarden (in proot-distro)
• Homer with lighttpd (in proot-distro)

Since I wasn’t able to install .NET Runtime in Termux directly, I used the proot-distro (Ubuntu) and inside I’ve installed all the services. Services are started manually every time I restart the proot-distro (unfortunately I’m getting an error when installing Termux:Boot), it’s a simple script so I’m not dying over it. To keep the proot-distro alive I launch is with the screen command so I’m ensuring persistence even when the terminal is closed.

It’s not a clean solution like docker etc. but I’m consuming 5 or 10Wh of energy every day which is close to nothing and probably sustainable with a solar panel.

Every once in a while (basically when the SD is almost full) I transfer the files with rclone to an external drive where I consolidate the files.

Oh extra tip, with rclone you can create a DLNA server so you can serve the files you have download immediately (tested with VNC and Kodi)

The phone/server has still room (CPU & RAM) to go and possibly I could install HomeAssistant without any issue. Also I could add Joplin and Floccus using webdav for storage as I had in my previous server but I don’t miss them.

Any other questions, doubts, scripts, feel free to ask!

I’m hosting al my services on an old Android mobile with termux. Power consumption is ridiculous, not 100% sustainable but it is very low power. You could add solar panels and you’re done. In terms of performance, mainly for family use, I’ve never had an issue once I plugged it to an ethernet port.
