@briankrebs@infosec.exchange Is it possible to shut these proxies down at a firewall or via DNS filtering? My Tizen TV does a lot of network accesses when turned on (which is why I actually cut the power to it when not in use...) and I'm not sure what I would be looking for to see if somehow I got affected by this?

So it's economically not realistic to buy the GPU capacity to use opencode and an open source / open weights model in your (or at least in my) home lab.
And renting time from a hyperscaler to have the model sit idle most of the time is equally cost prohibitive. Has anyone created a LLMaaS setup where I control the model and all the data, but only pay for the compute when I actually use it? So like FaaS, except for LLMs with the primary use case being coding and code review?
No, I'm not interested in cheaper alternatives to the frontier labs where my data still goes to a third party and said third party can turn things off when the powers that be decide to do so...

@neurovagrant I'm trying to come up with a benign, genuine use case for this. And that just doesn't exist. Domains are about brands, about thoughtful interaction with potential users and customers. There is no legitimate scenario where you would want an LLM to create domains. Even in a chat bot/ reseller scenario you wouldn't want a hallucination machine to be able to do that with your credit card.

@tasket Well that was easy... added uBlock Origin. There appears to be some overlap between it and ghostery, but ghostery claims that especially for ad-blocking they cover more... I don't think having both will hurt me (except likely burning more CPU cycles. Thanks

@charlesroper@indieweb.social So now I need a cloud that I use on each device - and that I trust to hold the database file. Which kinda gets me to the same (or a worse) place than using #1Password, right? I’ll admit that I haven’t found any cloud (OneDrive, GoogleDrive, DropBox, iCloud - which of course would exclude Android and Linux) that I trust enough for that. And of course I’m the weirdo who would want to be able to use this from macOS, iOS, Android, and Linux… @epixoip@infosec.exchange @joe@appdot.net

@epixoip@infosec.exchange @joe@appdot.net KeePass is So. Frigging. Painful. Played with it and the UX is just not what I want to suggest to non-techies. And it’s even a bit much for me. I really think the value of “easy, works on every device” outweighs the risk of using a cloud service ASSUMING that the cloud service is well run and not run by morons… the rumors that the Notes field in #FuckLastPass wasn’t encrypted scares the crap out of me…
