Hi. 👋

I am JayVii, a data enthusiast with a passion for Free and Open Source Software. I care about social inclusion & privacy. This is my personal Fediverse server, powered by ktistec. I modified its appearance with my own adjustments.

I typically remove shared posts after ca. 3–6 months. I do keep most of my own posts (for now).

I post about a variety of topics, both in German and English, such as:

#Debian / #Linux
#FOSS / #OpenSource
#vegan #Food
#ktistec
#webdev, particularly #CSS and #PHP
sometimes posts & shares about German and EU politics (#DEpol, #EUpol)

I also developed a few tiny & simple self-hostable tools to ease my life (and that of others), such as:

You can find out more about myself on my website or in my introduction post.

Two images, the left one is a house with a hole in the roof while it's raining, the right one is that same house with that same hole, but now it's sunny. The text says "Haggis has a hole in his roof. He never fixed it because on rainy days it is too wet too work. And on sunny days it doesn't need fixing."

Richard Scarry already summarized everything there is to know about cyber security, about 50 years ago.

Two rows of computers in a Valencian school running LliureX Linux with KDE Plasma.

Screenshot of LliureX Linux running KDE Plasma with the application menu open.

What's good for hardware is good for the budget … and environment! 🌻

LliureX #Linux with #KDEPlasma in Valencian schools saves the public administration *3.5 million euros a year* for 110,000 computers. [1]

* School HW has lifespan up to 18 years while running up-to-date software [2]
* Cheap easy-to-manage "light clients" ideal for very old upcycled HW [3]
* LliureX-Shutdowner saves energy by turning off unused computers school-wide [4]

The culmination of my recent work on algorithmic feeds is a #fediverse feed reading machine for all of the topics I care about.

A few months back I published a blog post (see link) where I looked at LLM coding from a few different perspectives. And even though I said explicitly in the post that I personally haven't seen much gain from LLMs, and preferred to focus on looking at non-anecdotal data sources like large surveys and studies, a lot of people just assumed that I have no experience with the output of LLMs and if only I'd try them out I'd change my mind.

So let me do a quick thread here to talk a bit about my experience.

Uff, ich verstehe ja, dass einige mittlerweile frustriert sind. Aber unter Aufrufe sich politisch gegen Abbau von Sozialleistungen & Rückbau von Transparenz zu engagieren „bringt ja eh nix…“ zu kommentieren macht echt rein gar nichts besser. Es ist vielmehr Teil des Problems.

Europas ehemals aktivste Zivilgesellschaft gegen Überwachung hat leider geschlafen.

"Mittels Videotechnik und Künstlicher Intelligenz (KI) soll die Bundespolizei bestimmte Bewegungsmuster erkennen dürfen, die auf die Begehung einer Straftat hindeuten"
