Brilliant!

How does it go for chewing thru the phone battery tho?

I had no idea you could do that.

How is battery affected by having home assistant on phone? Does it need to be foregrounded?

Nope, not me. The article popped up in my feed, I commented on it (over on /c/rtfa) and then shared if here. Feel free to check.

For context, that comes for the HN thread and blog post, not from anything I have written. Let’s attribute things to respective sources :)

Dunno if you can do this with ipads, but I’ve been (idly) considering using old phones to create an Alfred camera system

Probably not…but it’s a fun idea.

[AIT] The Codeberg ban on LLM content

Right - I see the other topic has been locked / author hasn’t returned to follow community rules.

Here’s the original topic news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49003386

and a measured (IMHO) response to it. (BTW, do your self a favour and change tabs with that site open :)

It’s a tough spot, Codeberg has found themselves in and I wish them luck. But beyond that, this is (yet) another reminder that in 2026, if you don’t self host it, the cloud is just someone else computer

That’s nice and clean…and I love that you have both random fact and XKCD. Too many front ends look like a space shuttle launch control; this one has soul

Yo ho, all together, hoist the colors high

Heave ho, thieves and beggars

Never shall we die

You love to see it.

Self identifying as the baddy makes my life easier.

Samsung, Apple, LG - who’s next? Speak up, please.

Self-hosting, data sovereignty and cyberattacks [AIT]

lemmy.world/post/49736885

If you follow AI news at all as part of your self-hosting interests, you may have become aware recently that open AI (the frontier lab between behind chat GPT) has admitted (loosely) culpability in an cyber attack against HuggingFace (the major repository of open-weight models.)

The details that present are somewhat sketchy, but the gist of it is that open AI seems to have given unrestricted access to a AI agent, which then attacked hugging face, who in a twist of deliciousness, used an open source agent to defend themselves.

I’d joke and tell you to make sure that you haven’t left any open ports on your router, but if you’re here reading this I think probably you know better than that.

Less comically, there’s a weird intersection here between self-hosting, sovereignty and encroachment by big tech that is worth pay attention to.

It should certainly spur people on to seriously consider self-hosting as much of their infrastructure as they can (and securing it) if this is the preview of things to come.

Something is rotten in the state of Denmark.

I just wish I’d bought more SSDs.
