  • Those three tags for promo posts seems like a pretty good compromise, don’t really have any better suggestions for the exact acronyms or tag specific descriptions. I use LLMs for personal and work but I don’t post promotional material about any of it, I think most people using AI for personal side-projects aren’t making promo posts about it either, so already this won’t affect most people. The most vocal users in Lemmy selfhosted are going to downvote the hell out of anything that has an AGENTS.md or a single commit that smells AI-generated regardless of the tags, this will mostly speed up the dogpiling.
















  • As nice as this would be, it’s not very likely… Licenses are usually limp suggestions from the perspective of companies with billions of dollars. AI companies train on millions of copyrighted materials, both literature and art, without any express permission from the authors or artists, and with essentially no recourse or compensation to the authors. You could append a ‘no AI training’ clause to an existing license like the MIT license, but the impact that will have will mostly be brief personal satisfaction and won’t change what the AI companies do. It’s genuinely more useful to keep code proprietary to prevent it from being used to train AI models.



  • I’ve got some Western Digital and Samsung HDDs I bought refurbished a while ago in a RAID10 configuration for 4 TB total. Recently setup backups to that and an SSD, the read/write speeds are slow but tolerable and I’m not doing anything that needs high throughput. For backups from multiple machines, it does the job and I make sure to upload the encrypted backups to remote storage once a month so if there’s any catastrophic data loss on my end it’s all recoverable.
