My understanding is that by going into the bathroom we only increase the risk of a trans person getting assaulted

I may not be able to carry you through the Internet but I can certainly praise how nice your ass is, Miisha :p

I’m Hinata Hyuuga. Could be worse I guess.

So self hosted inference means you own it then?

I moved to neovim several years ago and haven’t looked back. Sounds like I got out at the right time

Model training takes a long time

Disappointing trigger discipline

They call that a Ralph loop

Also mentioning Suwayomi, a web server implementation of tachi

With your bridging to discord, do you have dm capabilities? Able to join servers you don’t control? Because I’m nervous about the idea of getting banned for puppeting since I have multiple big servers I’m in charge of

I just use it in a browser honestly

As the smaller of two wives, you are correct

I may have been hyperbolic, but my point is that the dichotomy is between:

• Any obligations
• No obligations

FOSS maintainers have no obligations at all. Moral or otherwise.

What arbitrary line of popularity suddenly requires me to support every use-case, by never breaking something in a project nobody is paying me to build?

10 people? 100? 100,000?

The answer is: none because the premise is false.

FOSS maintainers owe you NOTHING. Nada. Zip. That includes a working copy of the software, and you agreed to that stipulation in the license. That’s what “no warranty of fitness any purpose” means.

That includes not owing you any specific method of project “governance” or versioning scheme, it includes not owing you releases, ever.

Also, what counts as “dicking over” a user? That sounds arbitrary too.

• Refusing to answer their questions?
• Removing a feature they liked because it was a nightmare to maintain?
• Leaving a bug in place because trying to fix it sounds unfun?
• Introducing a bug because you didn’t realize there was an interaction between two features?
• Deciding that tests are no fun, and deleting all of them, increasing the likelihood of bugs?
• Deciding that documentation is out of date, too much of a pain to keep updating, and removing it wholesale to avoid confusion because it’s inaccurate anyway?

FOSS maintainers have no obligations to you. None. No arbitrary line of popularity changes that.

I build my open source projects for fun and for free. Your decision to use what my fun produces doesn’t suddenly require me to have my fun in a specific way. It doesn’t obligate me to ensure the output of my fun never breaks your production environment.

And you’re still wrong. They don’t owe anything to anyone, legally or morally.

Reddit has no power here!

An open source dev is owed nothing and owes nothing.

By stating otherwise, you are trying to say that the person who releases something, on their own time and expense for free and probably fun, has an obligation to conduct themselves in a manner you think is best.

But… They don’t. This isn’t even really a debate worth having, because there’s nothing to debate. You’re just wrong.

Yeah, but if you want privacy, it’s a fine idea to prevent public networks and such from examining your traffic patterns. My personal main use case for a self-hosted VPN is for using public networks for private traffic, and I wouldn’t suggest doing hardcore high volume piracy through such a thing.

The idea of using one for piracy is more focused on finding a VPS provider that can accept cryptocurrency and doesn’t require your personal details.

Edit: whoops, realized I got the premises backwards in my earlier comment. Sorry about that.

Host one yourself on a cloud host that accepts cryptocurrency and asks no questions, if you want to do piracy. Otherwise if you’re just trying to get your traffic cloaked for privacy reasons, a digital ocean droplet or a hetzner instance running OpenVPN is plenty.

This is why I built my own router running opnsense
