Ya that’s what I’ve heard. It’s strange but whatever works.

Yo yo!

I have very little technical knowledge so please excuse any senseless mistakes.

I want a phone that I can use that is private and secure for the next couple of years. I understand that new android phones will be made differently so I can't side load (whatever that means, I just know it is important). I have an iPhone 12 rn but I'd rather leave the iOS ecosystem. Rn I'm typing this message on a pixel 3.

Is a pixel 3 old enough to still be a safe and secure phone that I can side load apps on in the future?

tl-dr

-Can someone give me step by step instructions (ELI5) on how to get access to my LLM's on my rig from my phone?

Jan seems the easiest but I've tried with Ollama, librechat, etc.

.....

I've taken steps to secure my data and now I'm going the selfhosting route. I don't care to become a savant with the technical aspects of this stuff but even the basics are hard to grasp! I've been able to install a LLM provider on my rig (Ollama, Librechat, Jan, all of em) and I can successfully get models running on them. BUT what I would LOVE to do is access the LLM's on my rig from my phone while I'm within proximity. I've read that I can do that via wifi or LAN or something like that but I have had absolutely no luck. Jan seems the easiest because all you have to do is something with an API key but I can't even figure that out.

Any help?

EDIT- The issue is having is with “Authentication”. I haven’t made it past that step. Incorrectly said “addresses” on the original post.


Yo yo! Fairly new to making a change towards privacy. My brother gave me a raspberry pi 4 and I want to experiment with that before making a bigger change towards my other electronics. Rn I’m working on using radicale on the pi4 and I’m stuck because I can’t understand the technological language.

I’m trying to follow the tutorial on the radicale website but am getting stuck in the “~~addresses~~” authentication part. I can’t enter in anything Into the initial command prompt I used to create the radicale website. And when I make a new command prompt and enter that in nothing happens. I asked AI and it spits out an answer that isn’t dumbed down enough for me. Lemmy is my last hope before I try Reddit …

Tutorial link for clarity https://radicale.org/v3.html#tutorials

Nice! Good sublemmy to follow! (Is sublemmy the right word)

Thanks for the tips! I just started playing around with ollama so I think the self hosting route is next.

Sheesh, that sounds like a Black Mirror episode. I know a majority of my info/data now is most likely compromised, but moving forward I can make a difference. Also, I can prep these tools for the young ones in my family who aren’t on the internet yet.

I definitely need some advice for self hosting! I literally have no idea what I’m doing. I have a raspberry pi and another user said that may be enough to get started.

Could you share some videos or links or blogs that explain how to get started?

That does slightly concern me that ddg is linked to Microsoft. If I’m going thru all this trouble to make my life more private then I believe I need to cut out the major companies as well.

Your like the 4th person to recommend libreoffice. That’s at the top of my list now.

[-] BlackSnack@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 month ago

I’ll prolly go with libre then since they have the best options that are private. And i have a PC so those Mac options won’t work for me.

[-] BlackSnack@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 month ago

Someone else mentioned ente. I’ll have to check that out as well.

Thanks!

Ya, the lack of resl time driving data is a bummer. But if that’s something I have to give up for a bit more privacy i will definitely use it for drives where I don’t mind being late. But if magic earth or something else had the same level of privacy with real time traffic I may choose that one.

[-] BlackSnack@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 month ago

I would love to run something locally, but as of right now doing so is above my head. I’ll most likely choose between lumo, duck.ai, while I learn how to do it myself.

[-] BlackSnack@lemmy.zip 7 points 1 month ago

Oh bet. I didn’t see that. That’s basically free in my book. Have you used that one before, and if so do you like it compared to the OGs (google maps, Apple Maps)

[-] BlackSnack@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 month ago

Bet. I’ll check that one out, thanks! 🤙🏽

Yo yo!

I’ve been working on making my life more private and need some assistance picking suitable replacement options. Please let me know what you think of my list of if there are any opportunities for improvement! Here’s where I’m at …

Apple Maps -OSMandMaps. Seems like a good option, but it’s not ready out the box. I need to do more tweaking with it. -Magic Earth. Haven’t tested it yet, seems good. But I’m looking for free options first before I dabble with paid stuff.

AI (ChatGPT) -Lumo. Chat is really good. But I understand they are good because they syphon data illegally, so I’m ok “downgrading” when switching AIs. Lump seems pretty good so far. I can tell it’s not as advanced but it will do me fine for what I need. Also, i assume once I pay for lumo pro it will be more “powerful”. -Maple AI. Seems dope, also I like the pay model, pay for what you use over “x” amount of inquiries. Does anyone know how I owledgable/powerful it is? -local AI OR Ollama. These 2 are beyond my knowledge. I don’t understand how I run these on my own server? If you know anything about these please ELI5.

Google Docs -OnlyOffice. Seems like it does everything I want. -cryptpad. Just heard of this today, need to explore more. Seems dope, but it doesn’t have an app? From what I’ve seen definitely a strong contender.

Photo App (I haven’t looked into any of these yet) -Protón Drive. -ente photos. -I’mmich.

Google Drive -protón drive.

EDIT: Thanks everyone for the awesome support! I left Reddit for Lemmy a few days ago and I’m already glad I made the switch! 🤗
