voxl was built for things like software factories that use headless VMs and sandboxes (CI, computer-use agents), usually on Xvfb with no GPU. It streams them to a plain browser tab over one WebSocket and has APIs for agents.

How is it different from RustDesk? RustDesk is an open-source alternative to TeamViewer and AnyDesk, for reaching your own computers or helping someone with theirs: you install its app on both ends, desktop or phone, and the two find each other through an ID server, then connect directly or through a relay. For that it's the better fit, and it also shares Wayland desktops (experimentally) and Android phones, which voxl doesn't. voxl is for desktops on servers, VMs and sandboxes: it's one process that serves its own page, so there's nothing to install on the viewing side and no ID or relay server to run. The stream goes wherever a URL does, can be embedded in another page and comes with the APIs agents use. RustDesk has a web client too, but it still goes through the ID and relay servers, and the self-hosted one comes with RustDesk Server Pro.

Fair question. AnyModelBot didn't launch from zero. It's built by the team behind Modelflare, an AI API gateway with 200,000+ registered developers. On launch day we announced it to that whole user base and featured it in Modelflare's project showcase. That audience is exactly who AnyModelBot is for: developers who already use multiple AI models every day. So a big early spike in stars, and especially in downloads, was expected. Download numbers are the metric we watch most, and you can track the releases on GitHub. If you try it and find a bug or want a feature, please open an issue at https://github.com/modelflare-ai/AnyModelBot/issues and we'll prioritize it.

AI slop.

Are you saying this just because you're anti-ai or do you believe that we still wouldn't be able to turn this into a really good learning resource after many improvement iterations?

I hope they are going to use a copyleft license and not a permissive one.

This is a gold mine for LLM scrapers to have a source of human written code XD BSDs in general as their cuck license doesn't even try to protect them

So Rustdesk but vibecoded and without Wayland support??

Oof

Got it. Thanks

It's a term AI bros came up with to describe replacing the entire development lifecycle with AI.

What are those?

Software factories

🤮

So all the lessons are ai generated?

No thank you

The ongoing US midterms could also shift the conversation depending on who comes out ahead.

This is exactly what I'm afraid of. The EU will breathe a sigh of relief that the dems won and simply go back to business as usual. "It won't happen again".

Sergey Bugaev ported Alpine to Hurd in 2024: https://lists.gnu.org/r/bug-hurd/2024-01/msg00180.html https://github.com/bugaevc/aports/blob/hurd/README.hurd.md

It didn't receive much interest on mailing lists so he moved on to projects such as 9P translator for the Hurd, but the sources are out there, so that anyone who likes them can continue.

It would really be preferable to support locally-run models as well, IMO.

It looks very different from the last time I used it.

To clarify what we mean: your memory, chat history, files and API keys are stored on your own machine, not on our servers. Each request sends the needed context to the model provider you choose, so it's not offline-only. We'll describe it as 'your data stays on your device' going forward.

Enjoyed both part 1 and part 2. Looking forward to the next installments!

yawn Wake me up when they create Alpine GNU/Hurd

I’m actually pretty amped about this. I’ve always preferred FreeBSD to Linux and while this is based on NetBSD, I’m happy to have my favorite Linux distro’s userland on top of a BSD kernel.

Oh, that's a good one! I will remember that!

If you want to tax the rich, tax the fucking rich. This is all theater.

Good thing it's not even close to being law. :)

French government is desperately in need of cash, so the tech illiterate politicians ask Cat, I Farted® for help and it gives them this.

How about an advertising tax? Every company serving ads through the internet (aka platforms, particularly the exploitive ones) need to pay up. That's Facebook, YouTube, TikTok, etc.

This seems kinda insane... You just turned the majority of the internet into a metered connection after fighting for years to not be metered at the ISP level... Best of luck with that... :(
