I'm currently running Deepseek on Linux with Ollama (installed via curl -fsSL https://ollama.com/install.sh | sh), and I specifically have to run it on my personal file server because it's the only computer in the house with enough memory for the larger models. Since it's running on the same system that has direct access to all my files, I'm more concerned about security than I would be if it was running on a dedicated server that just does AI. I'm really not knowledgeable on how AI actually works at the execution level, and I just wanted to ask whether Ollama is actually private and secure. I'm assuming it doesn't send my prompts anywhere since everything I've read lists that as the biggest advantage, but how exactly is the AI being executed on the system when you give it a command like ollama run deepseek-r1:32b and have it download files from where it's downloading from by default? Is it just downloading a regular executable and running that on the system, or is it more sandboxed than that? Is it possible for a malicious AI model to scan my files or do other things on the computer?
And then they're the aggressors for not immediately begging for mercy.
Centre click is a godsend though. I recently had to start using Windows again and I keep instinctively hitting it.
Best to live in a housing co-op. That way the building is collectively owned so they would need permission from everyone.
Go back to before multicellular life evolved so nothing will bother me
Serious question: Why hasn't China cut trade with Israel?
Israel is no stranger to treating Jews like shit.
Gotta check off all the items on the BITE model /s
Most Steam Deck games aren't $80 a pop so definitely bad. Also you can run regular Linux applications on a steam deck and use it basically like a tablet.
Off topic, but does anyone have the sources for the images of the commieblocks? I'd love to see some higher resolution versions and check out the photographers' other works.
Interesting! Thank you!
I rename US to Burgerreich
In what ways? I don't have any experience with those so I'm curious.
I get what this is saying but on the other hand...
Programmers now:
πͺ Can spin up a minimum viable product in a day
πͺ Writes web applications that handle millions or even billions of requests per second
πͺ Remote code execution and memory related vulnerabilities are rarer than ever now
πͺ Can send data across the world with sub 1 second latency
πͺ The same PCIe interface is now 32x faster (16x PICe 1 was 8GB/s, while PCIe 6 is 256GB/s)
πͺ The same wireless bands now have more throughput due to better radio protocols and signal processing
πͺ Writes applications that scale across the over 100 cores of modern top of the line processors
πͺ JIT and garbage collection techniques have improved to the point where they have a nearly imperceptible performance impact in the majority of use cases
πͺ Most bugs are caught by static analysis and testing frameworks before release
πͺ Codebases are worked on by thousands of people at the same time
πͺ Functional programming, which is arguably far less bug prone, is rapidly gaining traction as a paradigm
πͺ Far more emphasis on immutability to the point where many languages have it as the default
πͺ Virtual machines can be seamlessly transferred from one computer to another while they're running
πͺ Modern applications can be used by people anywhere in the world regardless of language, even things that were very difficult to do in the past like mirroring the entire interface to allow an application that was written for left to right languages to support right to left
πͺ Accessibility features allow people who are blind, paralyzed, or have other disabilities to use computers just as well as anyone else
Just wanted to provide come counter examples because I'm not a huge fan of the "programmers are worse than they were back in the 80s" rethoric. While programmers today are more reliant on automated tools, I really disagree that programmers are less capable in general than they were in the past.
Fun fact: for many residents moving into commieblocks when they were first built, it was the first time they had ever had electricity, indoor plumbing, and central heat. These buildings may seem lacking by modern standards, but they were absolutely revolutionary for their time.

Couldn't you get more energy density with compressed air? That way the entire volume of your warehouse is storing energy at the same time.
Should have asked for order 69
Off topic, but is it safe to share what I'm assuming is a stack trace/debug info QR code? Does it have any potentially sensitive data?
And when you do, you rattle the bells inside so it makes a ding.
Don't Christians think all Jews are going to hell? Does Israel acknowledge their support? If so, imagine accepting support from a group who is literally trying to get you to fulfill their prophecy so their god can torture you for all eternity.
