People don’t get it: it doesn’t matter Graphene or LineageOS. Its still Android and will still be bound to the same limitations, unless you go fully degoogled which means give up on internet banking, cardless payments and government apps. (And much more like m Donalds app and more… But I don’t care for those)

We need open trust platform not one controlled by Google, Graphene or lineage are just not valid alternatives. We need a Linux phone.

My single user instance cost almost zero.

Self-hosted on my hardware that already used to host other stuff. Cpu overhead seems negligible, and network bandwidth is free (=already paid for). Disk space is nothing compared to my Linux ISOs collection.

Why is this a bad idea? Power it with a mini hydro turbine for unlimited. Music

Cant you feel being the frog in the pan? Google just heating up slowly.

Grazie, sono un fanatico del self hosting e questa guida mi sembra molto ben fatta, forse é la volta che metto su ultime kuma…

An island solar system without batteries make little sense.

Setup a gravitational battery. Use extra power to lift rocks/weights that you will then lower, generating power, when not enough sun.

Not common, but proven solution.

Better and more efficient: have batteries.

I agree with you, but the point is people really think you can fool Google by using lineage or Graphene, but that’s not true you still depends deeply on Google steering the entire AOSP

I was not precise. I should have said gnu-Linux to differentiate from Linux as just the kernel, my bad. It’s gnu-libux that gives you that feel you are on the family even if you have ubuntu or Gentoo.

But I beg to differ: AOSP cannot be called Linux in any way. It happens to use Linux as a kernel as you say, but lacks everything that make an SO typically Linux(or gnu-linux):

• starting from the base of the system, AOSP doesn’t use libc s system library like gnu-Linux
• even the C++ STD library of AOSP is incompatible as it lacks RTTI
• doesn’t use anything like systemd or the init system (unless mod-added)
• has a totally different HAL which is not compatible between the two
• has a totally different network tooling stack
• has a totally incompatible GUI layer
• Most of android drivers have a thin kernel layer plus a huge proprietary AOSP layer libraries which are not gnu-Linux compatible
• the entire ecosystem of AOSP is kotlin/JavaScript instead of just being language agnostic

So no, you cannot say at all that AOSP is Linux after all. While you can run gnu-Linux binaries on android, and viceversa, you must provide a complete environment around them, like termux. It’s more a container like approach.

They only share a kernel and there have been plans to replace that too.

Given how many years people is answering LineageOS or GrapheneOS, I would like to state that “LineageOS” or “Graphene” means Android.

Yeah, those are all android under the hood.

Maybe customized to various depths and details, but still it’s android.

It’s much more correct to say that Lineage or Graphene are Android than saying that Android is Linux.

Both Lineage and Graphene would not exists and could not exists without Google developing the AOSP.

While they improve stock Android quite a lot, they are still Android.

I stress this because lots of people think that those could be alternatives to Android and the Google monopoly, but it’s not true. Only a true Linux mobile OS would be.

This spam keeps popping up.

Its Nicole v2, this time the fediverse refugees not chicks.

Llm is just a tool and it usage will only increase over time.

There is nothing intrinsically bad in that, as with any tool, it’s not bad per se, but how we use it.

So, push for ethic and proper usage of AI, rather.

Projects will use AI more and more, nothing bad in that. Provided it’s used properly, vetted, tested, verified and such.

I also wrote mine, a bit of JavaScript that load a json file and populate the page.

AFAIK Joplin is FOSS, but be aware that it’s markdown format is not compatible with… Markdown. Funnily enough.

Because it’s like now somebody came to you and asked to discuss about babies being brought in by birds instead of being born from mothers. How would you react?

I have traveled a lot in my life. I have seen the round earth from airplanes, i have experienced time zones first hand and have been flying all around the pacific ocean as well.

I can assure you, proof that earth is a globe is not required. What is required is get out of comfort zone and check it yourself if you don’t believe science, physics. It takes a nice clear day high altitude (commercial jet i mean) flight, and if you still are not convinced, well, take an airplane like i did from Europe to far east, then to French Polynesia, then to Easter Island, then to Chile. Woah, man, it’s round and connected! i did myself, i am living proof of that. You even get to experience the fun of living the same day twice when you spend your Saturday night in Auckland, NZ, then fly to Papeete and spend AGAIN your Saturday in Tahiti… Fun stuff.*

But i was already sold on the “globe” thing when, almost 30 years ago, i did my first overseas trip to US and was phoning my parents with a -9 hour time difference, and it was actually real.

/s Now, see, back to that “babies brought by birds” thing, i read on the internet that all this about mothers giving birth is a big conspiracy to keep the woman enslaved… /s

• = to be clear, that was not a SINGLE flight, i did it over the course of a few weeks taking those flight legs separately and with flight times perfectly matching the distances covered on a globe surface, not some weird convoluted flight route that i have seen from flat earthners to try justify that it’s possible.

As an additional note, once i also fly the route more north, going trough Micronesia and hawai… again from Europe to US. It was even an US commercial airline flight.

As a final note, there are plenty of seamen who even SAIL still today (for fun) across the Pacific, from US to Asia.

Supposing you are serious, you cannot argue with somebody that defies logic and science to a level such as believing the earth being flat.

To be clear: nobody ever really believed earth to be flat, not even in ancient times since both Greeks and Romans knew its a globe.

Even in the middle ages earth was known to be a globe, despite common idea that middle wages where dark times.

Flat earthers are a modern thing and this says it all.

I think you are just ragebaiting anyway

Its like putting an Audi engine inside a Ford and complaining that making it run is hard.

Complain with cyberpunk developers that didn’t developed also for Linux, but only for windows instead.

I find it incredible that you can even try to run a windows game on linux.

Try run a native android app on iphone or vice versa…

Thank you for the deep post!

Ok, I need you to ELI5 what you wrote because I am not a llm expert and… Got lost.

I have OWUI which provide the web interface. Then I have ollama that runs the models, and I have added models there.

I searched for llama. Cpp but i am unclear why make it different from ollama and if i can install models there.

Can you help me cast some light?

Also about models, I have a 16gb VRAM NVIDIA gpu that works fine with the models I have, what is the correlation here?

The audio icon works but only for mic… Uploading files seems to be useless as the model (any I have installed) just keep saying it cannot see the file and to give it a web link instead…

How that does it even work? Why can it grab an url but not a local uploaded file?
