The best insight I remember reading about questions as MFA, is to consider the answer as a password. If you use a password manager, don’t feel forced to use actually true answers. The answer doesn’t have to be true, you just need to know it. Use a password manager and invent answers which you store. This is so much more secure than relying on the truth.

Edit: others mention the same thing.

Perhaps of interest? I don’t know how many bots you’re facing.

I feel you are a bit out of touch when the topic is specifically enshittification and that it is based on the history of companies turning against their users, showing little good faith. It is also not something which is sparing open source projects (remember bitwarden’s attempt?). So sure, I’m not going to deny that I’m making assumptions and that I am concerned it may one day happen. But it is grounded in reality, not some tinfoil hat stuff.

Edit: and the fact that bitwarden did not eventually go through with it does not counter the fact that they intended to and tried. Sometimes companies back off and play the long game and try to be more subtle about it.

1. Tailscale has an employee who is contributing to headscale. I think this is helpful and they could decide to stop this collaboration the moment they feel it is counter productive.
2. they may decide to start adding undocumented/proprietary/“secure” elements which prevent headscale from working.

There is no guarantee headscale can keep working the way it does or that it is allowed to keep existing.

Edit: FYI headscale is not at all at feature parity with what tailscale offers.

Congrats! Amazing project, exciting interface and you went the extra mile on the integration side with third parties. Kudos!

Edit: I’ll definitely have to try it out!

Perhaps give Ramalama a try?

Indeed, Ollama is going a shady route. https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/pull/11016#issuecomment-2599740463

I started playing with Ramalama (the name is a mouthful) and it works great. There is one or two more steps in the setup but I’ve achieved great performance and the project is making good use of standards (OCI, jinja, unmodified llama.cpp, from what I understand).

Go and check it out, they are compatible with models from HF and Ollama too.

If you’re talking about the latest proposal to hamper encryption, it didn’t pass.

Oh I didn’t mean to ask for the link, I just meant to get more information about what you were doing with it, totally understandable! Anyway, cool project!

Oh very interesting! How cool :) Do you then host some kind of website for people to view your animated progress in real time as you run?

Yes!! I wish there were more open source options to interface with fitness trackers and smart watches… I’m upset about all this proprietary crap forcing you to share your data with the manufacturer and depend on their availability and goodwill to access our data… Very frustrating :(

There are great app recommendations here. Perhaps not the habit tracking type, but I love FitoTrack for tracking my runs. No social, no BS, just pure local metrics. Not perfect but entirely usable and serves its purpose.

Edit: what I love most about all these apps is that they are so lightweight. I have so many apps today which are well above 100MB, sometimes around 500MB and I’m not talking games.

This is so outrageous to me. All of these open source apps by comparison are 10MB or less. Absolutely beautiful.

I will always remember my first experience using MacOS: I am comfortable with computers and a relative needed help with their recently purchased macbook. I had plugged in a USB stick to transfer some files and was done and wanted to eject it. I spent way too much time than I care to admit, trying all possible options, right-clicks, settings, everything imaginable, to eject the damn thing.

It was impossible to me to find the simplest operation with a USB stick, something required to operate it. I capitulated and looked online. The solution? I had to drag and drop the USB stick icon into the trashcan!?!?!?

To this day, I will never understand the absolute ridicule of this and I will never comprehend how anyone is expected to figure it out on their own. And this is from the OS touted as the most user friendly and intuitive. Go figure.

Edit: this was a long while back, no idea how it is nowadays.

Don’t give them ideas!

Running on prem is certainly possible, but requires a dedicated sysadmin team for anything serious. It is very important to be able to have availability guarantees and some expert you can count on to solve your problem with a phone call.

Isn’t that something you solve with snooze? Like put the alarm for the earlier time, set the snooze time to 15min and hit snooze until you want to wake up?

Same, I rocked a second hand GTx 680 from 2012-2013, which I upgraded to a second hand RTX 3060 12GB for a fantastic price, in 2024. Still rocking a DDR3 platform with the intel i7 4400K. And that’s more than enough for most games with nice graphics on 1680x1050 :) (display probably 15 years old too). Eventually, I will be looking for some other second hand components to upgrade the rest of the system, but it does everything more than well enough.

Would you be able to share more info? I remember reading their issues with docker, but I don’t recall reading about whether or what they switched to. What is it now?
