The image-to-text model is impressive. I could see it being useful for smart search of your library, allowing users to find photos with a high-level description.
I’m not sure why it’s being reported on as though the technology is a privacy or security threat, though. If you’ve given a storage provider access to your photos anyway, using a vision model isn’t going to give them anything extra.
That said, I do love self-hosted photo solutions like Immich and Ente. Hope they continue to grow.
Whether the new Apple Intelligence features are useful depends on who you ask. But I do greatly appreciate that inference is performed on-device. I think that’s a step in the right direction.
I've been using Zen Browser on macOS and Linux for a few months now. It's a great browser experience, and I hope it gains traction. One thing it currently lacks that I'd like to see is a tab group feature like Chrome.
Like others, I have a folder in my home directory called "Code." Most operating systems encourage you to organize digital files by category (documents, photos, music, videos). Anything that doesn't fit into those categories gets its own new directory. This is especially important for me, as all my folders except Code are synced to NextCloud.
If I understand your question, you can just assign some of your server endpoints a public IP/URL and keep some others behind the firewall. My home lab exposes some services to the open internet, while others are only accessible with a VPN.
I understand that people feel strongly about Snaps, but I don't know about saying that they're a security vulnerability on the basis of offering automatic updates.
It’s awesome to see a project written with Zig!
