You’re dreaming. The reason they are doing this is surveillance of the population.

Curious to know how self hosters can use local ai to find and repair/mitigate vulnerabilities on their personal networks. Anyone working in this space?

Fair enough. No one was saying they are altruistic 😉

Also GLM-5.2 is open source, so that will make Dario’s head explode too!

The original post is titled “GLM/Kimi effect”. GLM models are developed by another Chinese company Z.ai. Their latest model GLM-5.2 has been benchmarked at similar coding capability as Anthropic’s Fable 5. You can use GLM-5.2 free via chat.z.ai. Like any of the “free” offerings it is limited in context, and be sure you don’t share any personal information with it because they will use your data for training (and who knows what else). But compared to other free models (eg those available via duck.ai) it is pretty impressive.

Started with Debian and still use it on servers. Moved to Arch but recently put Tumbleweed on my old laptop to try it out. Fast becoming a favourite. Like you said, rolling release with automatic snapshots is the best of both worlds.

This is the correct answer. Don’t waste your money on expensive solutions that won’t fix the problem.

Just? You mean … A bowl of WEED!!!

I have Mint running on a 2007 (I think) MacBook. Runs great.

I’d like to watch the full length video. The link doesn’t work obviously. Can you point me in the right direction?

Debian home server, macOS desktop, newer laptops run Arch and Fedora, and the two old MacBooks both run Mint DE. Oh, and OpenWrt on the router.

4 days? Try 10 minutes.

You could also try Mint DE (Debian Edition) and get closer to the source (and ditch any of that Ubuntu crap).

You’d better just get more turkey!

Or two notebooks, a desktop, and a server 😆

I was in a training course recently run by 20 year veteran of Gov cyber security (not US).

When I asked him about GrapheneOS he said it was a good option and much better than vendor android or iOS, but that he uses Chinese phones (Huawei & Honor) for his personal devices exclusively these days.

Sounds like he had a pretty high turnover though and is obviously well aware of what information is shared/leaked and I imagine his devices are as locked down as they can be.

Surprised me though.

Could be an option if you really know what you’re doing. If not you might be better with a trusted provider like Graphene OS.
