It seems like you are mixing up the “ecosystem” with the application: desktop, mobile phone, etc.

10 years ago there were mobile phones running Intel Atom and they were just as bootlocked as any other phone. I personally have two intel based chromebooks and unlocking their bootloader requires taking them apart.

Whereas my arm based Pinebook Pro requires no unlock at all. I have lots of Arm based SBCs and all of them came unlocked as well.

arm is much more proprietary and less open than Intel

That is exactly backwards. How many companies are licensed to make Intel/AMD comparable CPUs? 4? 6? How many for Arm? Hundreds of companies (Apple, Qualcomm, Samsung, etc.).

totally a bot

Because I looked at the source code on the site. Being a data harvester doesn’t mean they don’t give real answers. Just that there is no such thing as a free lunch. You got a suggestion and they got your data.

I don’t know why you are spamming this across the Threadiverse but this is a data harvesting site with no respect for privacy loudly announcing how important privacy is. No thanks.

so this is a grandstanding community now?

early on when i gave her one for xmas she was shocked (sheltered upbringing). to this day it by far the xmas gift she uses the most

I no reasons for disliking it. SELinux is an incredibly powerful security tool.

More and more airlines actually are, especially on shorter flights. And the price still is going up!

You are up in here trying to sell your amateur version of openclaw, which already has tons of open source and free alternatives. Why would anyone want buy your APK.

Try picking the right community. You commercial closed sourcr android app has nothing to do with selfhosting.

Why don’t you take your sales pitch to c/android?

this is just spam

I like that you are so focused on local models but I can’t find any info on setting up local models in the clients setup https://github.com/Dark-Alex-17/loki/wiki/Clients

What am I missing?

Edit: well it seems this post is an entirely fictional origin story. Here is the first time OP posted about his project 6 months ago https://piefed.zip/c/rust/p/663115/loki-an-all-in-one-batteries-included-llm-cli

To me, Tailscale is not selfhosted at all. That’s why headscale exists.

Freedom to do things as we’d like is part of the reason why we’re all here, right?

100% and the mods are also pretty good about removing off topic posts. My question is about understanding what this community thinks and where that line to what is off topic is. There are certainly things you can do with a server at home that would be off topic for this community, right?

I specifically asked about the criteria from this community’s own sidebar because that’s what I’m interested, what is self hosting “in the spirit of this community?”

Maybe I’m wrong, but it seems like your reply ignores my actual question for discussion.

If you want to run a modern current linux distro on a laptop with only 2gb of ram and 500gb then your options are very limited, but it is possible.

For example. Void Linux with Enlightenment will work. A browser will work ok for basic websites but heavy apps like Gmail will be unusably slow.

If you have no option to upgrade, you can still use a machine with those specs to run linux apps like Abiword, Gnumeric, GIMP, etc very well.

Also, putting in any SSD drive to replace the spinning one is the single best upgrade you can make in terms of performance and longevity on an old laptop.

Like the Puzzle Project is complete, even if the puzzle lacks 3 of the pieces?

I usually use a shell loop and some regex plus whatever I need to read the metadata.
