You should add screenshots to the repo and the README so people can see how it looks. Also, it’s not clear if this supports using locally hosted LLMs.

I was looking at https://open-smartwatch.github.io/gallery/gallery-main/ recently with some intrigue, if I had a 3d printer I’d consider building it

Generally if you want to combine full encryption with version control, your best bet would be instead to not use something like Forgejo, and instead do something like init a local git repo, commit like usual, then set up scripting that will tar.gz archive the entire repo, PGP encrypt the archive, and then upload that to a cloud provider’s file storage. That way, it’s got privacy (the archive is encrypted), it’s got version control (once decrypted and decompressed it goes back to being a folder with a git repo in it), and it’s backed up (via cloud file storage provider).

I’ve used Devuan before with decent success, I run it as a server on an ancient netbook with 1Ghz and 2GB RAM. Works pretty well, but bear in mind so much has become entangled with the expectations of systemd that as more packages get installed you may find things that break. As an example, apt gets an error every time it does anything because Mullvad VPN software has a configuration step that expects systemd functionality, and obviously that won’t work on Devuan. The program itself works fine, just have to start it a little differently, but it means that apt functionality always returns an error, which itself breaks any other scripts you may run that have steps that use apt. I had to do a lot of manual patching for PiHole scripting to get that installed because every time it would run anything with apt it thought there was a showstopping error simply because Mullvad complained during apt configurations.

I tested it with “cat” and it blocks me from seeing things I’ve reposted with the word “cat” in it, so yeah it might! :)

A quick scroll of his account on Bluesky ( https://bsky.app/profile/urlyman.mastodon.social.ap.brid.gy ) makes it pretty clear why his Discover sucks. The algorithm on Bluesky sorta works like a mirror, you get out what you put in. My feed is all art posts and wholesome memes because I follow artists, creators, and comic pages, so it sounds like he’s trained his algorithm to be full of political complaining and toxic people like him. He should probably look into the Mute Words feature and start blocking stuff he thinks is toxic!

Bluesky is the first app built on the ATProtocol, its protocol for federation, sort of like how Mastodon was among the first to use ActivityPub after the overcomplexity of OStatus. The ATProtocol is a few years younger than ActivityPub, so its landscape isn’t fleshed out yet. Currently Bluesky caters more towards creators, artists, and social togetherness, whereas ActivityPub tends to lean harder into attracting techies. Both protocols can be run as independent instances, but most people are still using bsky.social for now until more instances pop up and federate together. The process for hosting a Bluesky instance is still undergoing development, but all features of it have been opened up. There exist multiple bridge systems that can interweave ActivityPub with ATProto.

You can run your own relays, the obstacle is that each relay takes up many terabytes. But it’s fully open.
