denysvitali··on PostmarketOS is rebranding as Nura
FYI: they don't accept AI contributions.

From experience, AI is a 10x (or more) booster for getting a new device up and running - or porting mainline Linux to those super old (3.x) kernel forks.

I'll not contribute back anymore - this is a real bummer, but I guess they made their choice.

I've built something similar, but used landlock instead: https://github.com/denysvitali/boxy
denysvitali··on Noodle Gallery – Self-hosted photo and video manager forked from Immich
A better link: https://github.com/open-noodle/gallery

Seems to be a fork of Immich. They claim performance is a goal but it's still written in Node.JS? Curious.

I tried to do something very similar a while back (https://github.com/denysvitali/immich-go-backend) but didn't fully follow through. Immich sucks, sadly, performance wise and in terms of storage (they don't support S3, WTF).

I'll eventually get back go it and complete my port.

I guess in the same way we accept that the open source & licensed code was used to train the models, or in the same way we accept that Google / Meta / Anthropic and all the others use copyrighted material to get the degree of intelligence that it needs.

If you extend this thought and this rationale to humans as well, we shouldn't be allowed to "get smarter" by consuming copyrighted content (movies, books) or anything really - as we might end up referencing them.

I think copyright laws are being bended a lot here - and I don't think (as a copyright holder myself) I'm too concerned about that - if this then allows humanity to move forward. It's a philosophical topic really, more than a legal one

denysvitali··on Inside ZCode: Silently uploading your Git history to the cloud
They learned nothing from the Grok Code saga.

If anything, that should have been a learning lesson to NOT trust harnesses, especially new ones.

denysvitali··on Running Ubuntu on the Lenovo IdeaPad Duet
Yes! Removing the human in the loop speeds up the process. Models are better than the average SW engineer nowadays, so this isn't _that_ unsafe... and it really speeds things up
denysvitali··on Running Ubuntu on the Lenovo IdeaPad Duet
This.

Why would you waste 2 years to port Linux to an old / a device when you can literally do it in ~10 days and save many devices from turning into e-waste?

I really don't get their approach. Besides, Linux (and Linus) accepts and are doing AI contributions, so their argument makes no sense (since they're a Linux distro)

denysvitali··on Running Ubuntu on the Lenovo IdeaPad Duet
I just did something similar to bring mainline Linux to my Daylight DC-1 [1] [2], although possibly more difficult since I had to start from scratch.

I can guarantee the same amount of work, without AI, takes probably 10x or more time (I did it in the past w/ the Google Pixel C [3]).

Unfortunately it looks like pmOS is against AI [4], so I'll likely switch away from pmOS and never contribute a single line in the future. Too bad, I was a huge fan [5].

denysvitali··on Can we stop with the uptime percentages?
The 12 hours out of 30 days seems like sugarcoating the issue.

Keep the percentages, and regardless of that - GitHub fix your uptime

denysvitali··on AI Agent Has Root
I've created boxy [1] to sandbox the agents via Landlock and gh-proxy [2] to not share GH PATs that might leak over the internet.

I have a far better setup on my Kubernetes cluster [3], but these are good building block (IMHO) to start preventing these kind of issues.

I also "recklessly" run `claude` / `codex` as root for certain things - but that happens on a completely separate machine that is meant to be pruned afterwards, and it's what unlocks the kernel development feedback loop that is needed to port a device (such as the Daylight DC-1 / Surface Pro X) to mainline Linux.

That slipped - sorry. I did multiple passes - but clearly not enough :(
denysvitali··on When the apartment listing is too good to be true
Sometimes, it's just a hidden gem though. It happened to me: there were only 2 people (excluding myself) visiting the apartment. Ended up getting it.

When I left that apartment, 70 people signed up to see the apartment the day after, and ~50 showed up.

All Android phones run "Linux" - the hard part is running mainline linux
denysvitali··on My server is a phone now
Nothing Claude / Codex can't fix. I'd call this a skill issue tbh

On top of that, pmOS can work with non-mainline Linux, so with the Android kernel, which is somewhat guaranteed to have support for most / all the devices. You shouldn't use it if you care about security though, but that's a different matter

denysvitali··on My server is a phone now
I suggest you to go down this route, but replace Android with postmarketOS and make it a Kubernetes cluster: https://blog.denv.it/posts/pmos-k3s-cluster/
