I do wonder if they plan to draw a line somewhere in “how AI” the image needs to be. Like, if it’s a raw photo, that’s fine. If it’s enhanced by filters or something, probably not AI fair to say.

But what about the, like, magic eraser and infilling? If I use a tool to erase a bunch of people from a bridge and draw new parts of bridge that weren’t in the original photo… is that AI?

If I use AI to pull a mask and cut someone out from the background, and then put them overtop of a stock background, that uses AI to do work I could have done by hand. Probably fine. But what if I use AI to paint a new background that didn’t exist before this photo. Is that AI?

If I take a picture of me in a real place, doing a real thing, and then use AI infill to paint a different face onto my face so it’s not me anymore, but the rest of the photo including my body is real, is it AI because that person doesn’t exist?

In the link you posted to the original question, it has a section on self hosting. That link takes you here where they say there are two servers.

Also, the documentation for Self Hosting basically starts by saying there are two servers.

I’m not sure how you self hosted it without hearing about it 😛

Ah, the Relay Server is only half of the service! If I understand correctly from the documentation I skimmed, and my existing knowledge of streaming systems, the relay server is just there to handle relaying the video stream from one device to another one in the worst-case-scenario that they can’t reach each other to form a direct client-to-client connection.

So probably your relay server has never been used.

But that’s just for media, and just for bad network configurations. The actual part that coordinates who can see which devices, etc, and sets up the media connections, is the other server, which it sounds like you’re not running. So your services are currently still using the public server to find each other and initiate contact!

I don’t know, I haven’t hosted RustDesk myself, but it sounds like maybe you’re not actually using your self-hosted server for your clients? Because that message sounds like it’s entirely about “The Public Server” which is not your server. Right?

Let me say, as a person who worked at a company that used to silently disappear people, it sucked finding out in Thursday that so-and-so has been gone for a week and a half and wasn’t coming back.

So I, at least, appreciate the idea that they get to communicate at all.

News still sucks, but I wanted to throw that in

No, they’ll leave during church service!

Do all Christians call it mass, or is that just a Catholic thing…? 🤔
