  • I like that matter provisioning requires verification of their certificate, but I don’t like that certificates can expire or the certificate authority can shut down. Although maybe that’s all taken care of by the DCL? In which case that’d be fine.

    It’s also pretty obnoxious that it requires an Android phone with Google play services enabled (and even a Google login IIRC) or an iOS phone. There are ways around this, but they are pretty complex and not well documented.




  • If any ai Ia involved they will dismiss not only it but you and it’s a really irritating habit that is starting to emerge.

    It’s perfectly understandable. It used to be that a project that had the appearance of a significant amount of work and polish put into it could be reasonably trusted. With the rise of LLMs, that assumption has gone completely out the window as people can churn out appealing looking slop in record time. In addition, LLMs are dominated by the most transparently evil tech companies in existence, and the fully open models aren’t yet good enough, and are still built on the backs of the absurd amount of energy usage used to train the models.

    That all being said, I don’t think the OP is being malicious and I appreciate the disclosure but I’d give this project a year of maintenance before I would reasonably trust it.






















  • They also initially took content from libgen, which is a fair bit less legal. Personally, I have mixed feelings about all of this. On the one hand, I don’t like some shitty for-profit AI company making money from the collective works of civilisation. On the other hand, I think copyright protects works for far too long anyway and most should be in the commons already. Mind you, I would be more sympathetic if Anthropic et al. were doing all this for research purposes instead of capitalism. Maybe that would be a better copyright reform, in that it expires much more quickly than the current laws (say 10 years) but restricts third parties making a profit for a longer period. Likely that would be complex to design and enforce, however.

    Probably need a bit more detail for this like caddy logs and your caddy config. I did a similar thing on NixOS with services.acme getting the certs and then configuring the cert files to include caddy group access (I didn’t use caddy directly either for those reading as the DNS challenge approach requires third party plugins which is a bit annoying on NixOS).
