A quick tutorial for people who want to run goose but want it to keep your data confidential you generally have two options. First its to buy a good gpu to run a model locally, the second one is use advancement in trusted execution environments and use confidential AI backend with it. How to do it Go to PrivateMode and create an account and an API key. Then, set the environment variable PRIVATE_MODE_API_KEY to your API key. You can do this in your terminal with the following command: ...

Published originally by Max Hillebrand on nostr. To The Governments & People of Earth: We claim the right to exist, and we will defend it. We do not seek to overthrow anything. We do not seek to control anything. We/merely wish to be left alone. All we ever wanted was to live in peace with our friends and neighbors. For a long, long time we bore insults to our liberty; we took blows, we did what we could to avoid injury and we worked through the system to get the offenses to stop. That has now changed. ...

Its 2025 but sending a video from one person to another and assuming they will be able to open it on their device is still something we need to wait for AGI to be achievable. Back in the day everyone had installed K-Lite codec pack to watch pirated movies. Now I’m trying to send product demos around and iphone users can’t watch them. But luckily we have the almighty ffmpeg that always comes to the rescue. And this little known thing called bash functions that noone uses anymore. ...

I’ve recently had the need to set up wordpress quickly for some testing while developing a new woocommerce extension and I’ve stupidly needed way more time than I hoped to have a working set up in docker so here’s the setup. docker-compose.yml services: wordpress: image: wordpress:latest container_name: wordpress ports: - "12999:80" # Only expose HTTP to the host environment: WORDPRESS_DB_HOST: db:3306 WORDPRESS_DB_NAME: wordpress WORDPRESS_DB_USER: wordpress WORDPRESS_DB_PASSWORD: wordpresspass volumes: - ./wp-content:/var/www/html/wp-content/ networks: - wp-network depends_on: - db db: image: mysql:5.7 container_name: mysql environment: MYSQL_DATABASE: wordpress MYSQL_USER: wordpress MYSQL_PASSWORD: wordpresspass MYSQL_ROOT_PASSWORD: rootpass volumes: - db_data:/var/lib/mysql networks: - wp-network volumes: db_data: networks: wp-network: driver: bridge nginx reverse proxy configuration. Key part is that you need to set https headers for the proxy otherwise wordpress will serve the content back in mixed mode and your browser will complain ...

No cookies, no banners, no analytics, no frameworks, no junk. Good old web 1.0. html + css + javascript. -> timeconvert.org A while back I’ve had one too many timestamp conversion cases to deal with while building some data ingestion pipeline and I’ve ended up creating this website to scratch my own itch. I know epoch converter exists but it has tons of popups/cookie consent banners, you need to paste into the correct text box and it just feels bulky. I wanted something to just paste whatever time format I have and it will give me the alternatives. ...

Over time I’ve been slowly hoarding and studying a lot of old(er) crypto anarchy and cypherpunk materials over time, like the the untold story of the greatest crypto project ever that I’ve posted about before. I’ve been running my own backup of anarplex in case Eric Sirion’s ever goes offline. I also have copies of other materials like Taz0 and second realm series from liberty under attack podcast etc. I’ve decided that I want to expand on the works of cryptoanarchy.wiki and create (another) directory with everything I deed worthy of preserving and studying. Over time I plan to actually pack all the data into a torrent and make sure it is distributed around so the wisdom of those before us does not go to waste. ...

I spend a considerable amount of my time in terminal(s) and I’ve gotten used to incorporating large language models into my workflow. But occasionally its just too annoying to switch over to a browser to ask it something. My previous solution for that was that I had a telegram bot that I’d chat with (which was convenient and faster than web) but I felt something was missing. And today with my procrastination spiking I’ve finally solved it! ...

If you only clicked on the post to tell me crypto sucks let me disappoint - crypto in this case stands for cryptography, as it is for a long time before shitcoins came into existence. Many of you might have read Paul Rosenberg’s amazing A lodging of wayfaring men. Some of you might even know that Max Hillebrand recently created an audiobook version of it. But there is a story that predates that book, a real story that probably served as an inspiration for A lodging of wayfaring men. That story is called The Untold Story of the Greatest Crypto Project Ever. If you are too cheap to buy it (you should support Paul, he is a legend!) there is a way to read it free as it was published as blog posts. ...

I’ve started a practice of keeping my research bookmarks in a public github repository couple years back. Initially it was just so I could easily point my friends somewhere when they started asking questions about the topics we were discussing. Some of them became quite popular, the others not so much (I forgot about one when writing this post). nostr.net I’ve written about awesome-nostr before, but to summarize - its a long list of everything nostr. It got big enough that its starting to warrant a redesign , but it still does the job. It started as a github repo that later got its domain - nostr.net. ...
