Maybe write freely would be an option? There is also a hosted version of it on write.as. It also speaks Activity Pub so it would be published on the fediverse too. I’ve not looked super deeply into the technology, but considered using it for my (future) blog.

My phone really fights me if I want to type “murica”. Probably a good thing though

Murcia Murica, fuck yeah!

But going with a self-hosted approach like Towonel, you need a server with a public IP too. And I think what the commenter meant is, if you already have that, you can just setup a WireGuard connection to that public server, so that it can route the traffic to your local network.

This much RAM is probably worth more than the GDP of all those countries combined at this point

At least write your comments by hand, please :(

I don’t know where you live and what currency you’re talking about, but 180k € a year in Germany would put you in the top 2% of highest incomes in the whole country. That’s waaaaaay above “livable”.

But this is not what that discussion is about. The person above said that the employees should pay their AI usage with part of their salaries. We’re not talking about freelancing or similar.

When I’m employed for 100k a year, 40h per week, I can’t just only work 20h per week, but claiming to have worked 40h. My employer would not be very happy about that, because my pay is not directly bound to the amount of deliverables I create but how many hours I actually work.

And with AI they just hope, that I get the work of 60h done in only 40h. If I just work less without disclosing it and someone finds out, I could say goodbye to my job and probably also get sued.

Amazing, thanks! :)

This sounds good! Thanks :) is there a limit on how much is cached locally? Can I theoretically go on a 2 week trip in the nowhere without internet and then upload everything when I have connection again?

Makes sense, thanks for the heads-up. I’ll tag them myself.

First time I hear about this and I’ll definitely try it out. It looks awesome!

One question though, does the server need to be publicly accessible or does the app do it’s tracking locally and then saves it on the server when I get home again? I didn’t see that in the docs but I’ve not looked very deep into that so sorry if I have missed it.

But the employers want their employees to use it, (because of some unfounded promises about performance boosts). So I don’t really get your point.

Well that is such a unique case. I’ve never heard any employer being okay with clocking hours that were not actually worked. And in your case it’s essentially just a raise with extra steps.

Well that’s just working-hour fraud, you can do that even without using AI.

What a stupid take. Why should employee then even consider using it, when the cost for it would directly reduce their salary?

Reading through the shell script and understanding what it does before you run it should be a given. You don’t need to trust any closed source tool or whatever. Read it, before you execute it. If you are unable to do that, Arch is probably not the right distro for you anyway and in that case, good luck.

If I’m not completely mistaken, the kernel (and maybe other packages too) are not “hot-swapped” during runtime. You’re not using the new kernel until you performed a reboot.

Well, I dont. I’m fully aware of the footguns Arch based distros contain. I generally recommend Mint for Linux beginners. If the person is tech savvy and needs something for their gaming rig, then I might mention Bazzite.

There are plenty of other distros users can choose from, if they don’t want to deal with that. But picking one that is designed for advanced “nerdy” users and then ignoring those explicit warnings is just pure negligence.
