I don’t think I’ve seen this recommended yet, but maybe you can check out CoCore https://www.cocore.dev/. I saw a demo of this some time ago and it’s still pretty much an experimental project. Essentially this is more of a community shared way to run local LLMs, especially for those without necessary compute. You are basically using an LLM hosted on another person’s computer in an encrypted manner. There’s a lot of technical detail about it that goes over my head. It is slow, and of course, still requires trust, or some auditing to verify it. But I think it’s kinda a cool way to crowdsource resource to run. The network of users is on fediverse btw.

In addition to the more utilitarian aspect of Reddit soon-to-be wallgardened, I’m sad that the cultural, community aspect may be as well. While one could argue that certain communities could theoretically be replicated here, it’s just very difficult without significant mass.

people are suffering, but it’s more important that the line is not increasing, peasants!

I may be naive here, but doesn’t opensnitch already do this at the process level as well?

Very cool! Do you know how your project may compare with arctic shift ? For those more interested in research with reddit data, is there benefit of one vs another?

could you elaborate? or is there a link for this?
