A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

  7. No low-effort posts. This is subjective and will largely be determined by the community member reports.

I know we all hate AI, but we're actually angry at generative LLMs. The kind of "AI" that Immich uses is a classifier and is absolutely not the same as ChatGPT.

They should have made this clear in their video.

[–] nfreak@lemmy.ml 32 points 1 week ago

Their usage is basically just the same old machine learning that's existed for ages, long before the genAI bubble started. They really should avoid the buzzword for accuracy's sake but it's far removed from all the LLM generative dogshit.

[–] natecox@programming.dev 21 points 1 week ago

This is an excellent clarification, thanks.

Fuck LLMs, though.

[–] cRazi_man@europe.pub 8 points 1 week ago

That was my understanding, that Immich and PaperlessNGX run AI locally on your machine. That's why the server PC sounds like a fighter jet ready to take off for hours on end when a large library is first added.

I would assume its a clip embedder not a classifier and the search is simply finding the closest vectors to the search term?

Not everybody.

Not trying to be confrontational in the least. but I am fully aware and autonomous. I thought you guys weren't down with group think?

[–] Mondez@lemdro.id 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Fully aware and autonomous? Sounds like AI talk to me...

[–] irmadlad@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Are you not master of your own domain?

[–] DoPeopleLookHere@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Your in the one comment chain talking about hating AI, but that's group think?

No, your just a contrarian.

[–] irmadlad@lemmy.world 0 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I commented on ONE comment...not the whole thread.

However, if I am a contrarian because I have contrary core values, beliefs, and opinions, then vive la différence! Hope you had a great thanksgiving day if you do participate. If not, hope you had a wonderful day where ever you are.

[–] DoPeopleLookHere@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

No, that's not what makes you a contrarian.

What does is coming into the ONE there's, leaving a counter opinion, and then calling group think when it turns out people disagree with you.

And same to you, remember some people on the internet are autistic and are genuinely this flat in writing.

I'm unsure where the butthurt is coming from.

[–] irmadlad@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Well, I'm a contrarian then. I assure you there is no butthurt here. I mean, why would I be? For real? You don't like AI, LLM, RAG, that's fine by me and fine for you to express such. Do I get the same considerations? The ' Read The Room' comment felt like imposed group think. If I took it wrongly, then I do apologize.

I hate AI that is corporate/state spying that requires contestant constant internet access while burning fossil fuels and raising the cost of PC components.

I love the AI that can help me find photos of my son using my ancient thinkstation that was already old when I got second hand.

AI/ML have so broad definitions that they can encompass many things. The technologies arent bad, the problems are Capitalism and Autocracies.
