I notice you're not actually writing this message from lemmy but piefed.
Piefed has many features lemmy does not so ensure you choose the right fediverse software for your own needs.

Make sure you have some proper protection for the signup would be my main feedback, those that allow completely free registrations quickly get infested with spam bots and then their instance get denied federation by the other instances.

    You will need to setup a reverse proxy that handles ssl and letsencrypt in front of the syncstorage-rs docker and make sure you don't bind to http://localhost/ but https://example.com/.
    Firefox clients refuse to connect to a sync storage that doesn't use a signed certificate unless it is on localhost.

    To use it on firefox mobile you will need to activate the developer mode by going to Settings -> About Firefox and press the logo multiple times (I think five?). Exit the settings menu and enter it again. Now you will see Sync Debug at the top of the settings menu and in that menu you can setup custom servers.

    While I agree that open-weight is better than nothing, it is not the same as open-source.
    Having a truly open-source model would be wonderful and it would also allow us to verify what data it is trained on and whether it has the right to use that data.

    The Open Source Initiative's definition of a fully open-source AI model includes the training data as a key element. Some developers wonder, however, how feasible it is to distribute the enormous datasets required.

    He says Stanford HAI has staked out a specific bar: alignment with the Linux Foundation’s Model Openness Framework at its top tier, the “Open Science” class – meaning the code, the training data (or a thoroughly documented, auditable account of it), and the tooling are all released, not just the weights, alongside a real way for outside researchers and communities to download, run, study, contribute to, and modify the work. Anything short of that, in his view, forecloses entire lines of research: You can’t, for example, study how a model’s training data shapes its cultural assumptions, audit it for how fairly it represents different populations, or test new architectures at the scale where genuinely new behavior shows up. You can only observe a finished system from the outside and guess at why it does what it does.

    I'm damaged by vocabulary outside of gaming so for me "retro gaming" always sound a bit weird.
    I'm used to retro being a newly produced item that mimics an older style - a chair produced in 2026 that looks like it belongs in the 1960s f.e., compared to vintage being an item that is at least 20 years old and an antique being at least 100 years old. My teacups will officially be antique in two years and it feels kinda cool.

    When speaking of games I've just accepted that retro either means "from my childhood" or "old" depending on how the speaker feels about it and that "how old" usually differ from meaning "at least two console generations old" to "20 years old" to "The era of my childhood, forever and ever!".

    The funny thing is how the word for the newly produced items imitating older styles has come to mean "older" when speaking of games.

    If we look at the description for retro it's original meaning is something new imitating an older style:

    Compare to the word vintage that means old:

    I see the word retro used for "old" spread outside of gaming nowadays too, I wonder what we will use to describe a new production imitating an older style in the future. :)
