Both langchain as well as ollama run locally and are open source.

To be very frank: your post sounds like fear mongering without having even clicked on the link.

It depends what kind of edits you’re aiming for and what your setup is.

I have opted to go all-in and run Stirling pdf, which is a server solution and then you can do a shitload of things via web browser.

If quick and dirty is fine than inkscape is a surprise candidate - although it’s aimed at vector graphics editing you can easily create overlays for PDFs as well.

I have set up an lts kernel in addition to the zen I use by default. See:

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Kernel

Disclaimer: this only works when something with image creation goes wrong with an update. Which didn’t happen to me ever - unless I did a mistake or tested some kernel stuff. I only had bootloader errors when I screwed up pacman though. The fallback kernel in that case is on a USB stick…

Hehe true. And even that happened to me after a couple of tired “Syu enter”. But then again I learned something new with nearly every repair!

Oh agreed! That’s why I’m with OP actually that arch might not be the right distro to go for.

The person I replied to basically said “that’s what you deserve for not doing it properly” if I understood it correctly - that’s what I’m confused about as well.

What precaution would you expect OP to would’ve done though? A fallback kernel would be my guess - that’s something many casual oriented distro do out of the box basically. . I read your post as “you’re right, don’t use arch” - something btw which I tend to agree with although I wouldn’t say that’s because of the precautions.

I use arch because there’s no black box magic. For an end user who expects or wants that… Yes, arch might not be the right choice.

Just curious, what distro do you use that systemd is not the default? (I at least you didn’t change it after the fact if you don’t have any feelings (towards unit systems ;) ) )

The first link goes into amazing detail on that. In short: all your information concerning location as well as current IP and some other metadata gets send to a basically unknown company with no transparency on how that data is handled.

I highly recommend reading the first, linked post though!

As they are closed source no one can tell you their true privacy policy. It seems better than average from what I’ve read but you never know…

Personally I use logseq and sync the files via a Nextcloud instance. I can only recommend it, although I also recommend spending an hour to learn the tagging and linking logic and reading through their guide on what’s possible. I still only leverage a minor part of the potential myself.

One that is closer to onenote (I think, never used onenote) is Joplin.

Yeah I had a brainfart, meant namespace…

And thanks a lot for this writeup I think with your help I figured out where I went wrong in my train of thought and I’ll give it another try next week when I have a bit downtime.

The time you took to write this is highly appreciated! ♥

Do you have a link at hand on how start a process within a specific veth by chance? Own name spaces are easy enough and a lot of tutorials but I don’t want my programs to ever be not in the vpn space, not at startup not as fail over etc.

That’s the reason why I stuck with the container setup, only for gluetun plus vpned services.

It literally is!

linux printing server - if you want to share a printer over network or just use one locally on a linux machine.

(not OP but same boat) Doesn’t really matter to me because google knows my servers external IP which is a non-issue: I don’t expect google to try to attack me individually but crawl data about me. There is no automatic link between my server and my personal browsing habits.

In terms of attack vector vs ease of use , self hosting searxng is a nobrainer for me - but I do have an external server available for things like that anyway so no additional overhead needed.

Thanks for the clarification! A wish you an awesome start into the week :)

Preventing teenage pregnancy by obfuscating sex has the same idea.

I agree with the boundaries part. The second part though: they will figure it out either way… At least my brother did when he was young and our parentsgot a nice lawyer in voice for that (fucked up laws, I know, I know).

Personally I want them to learn about ransomware! If that cost me a PC… My fault.

♥! :)

I have to make this nitpick:

“you” are the one keeping you on windows. You decide that those features are more important than any disadvantages.

Which I think is absolutely OK - that’s your choice. Many many people took this choice for a myriad of reasons and are the sum of “windows majority” - and no “I would change if” will perpetuate either feature development on Linux programs nor pressure on Microsoft.

Especially because the thread was dead your answer is highly appreciated!

A Dockerfile itself is the instruction set. There is a certain minimum requirement expected from a server admin that differs from end-user requirements.

The ease of docker obfuscates that quite a bit but if you want to go full bare metal (or full AWS or GCS, etc etc) then you need to manage the full admin part as well - including custom deployments.
