Clipshare: Copy anywhere, Paste anywhere, End to End encrypted!

There are many awesome data sharing solutions around. However, I've always wanted to be able to just Ctrl+C on one machine and Ctrl+V on another, clipboard is just such a handy thing!
so, I finally decided to get this done. Welcome Clipshare, a foss, end to end encrypted universal clipboard, written in Rust! Only Text and desktop platforms supported for now, but Android is definitely coming and files / images perhaps too.
github.com/RastislavKish/clips…

Global hotkeys on Windows need Autohotkey for now as far as I can tell, I was building the program on Linux so the Microsoft platform got somewhat minor attention. But the sync mode does work, so you can use tools like AHK to make it working. I will try to fix it, though feedback from Windows users on this would be definitely appreciated!

Have fn!

@Tardis thanks! Well actually, in theory, the program should be compatible with Mac, all libraries I use have full crossplatform support. The only problem is I don't know anything about Mac and how does it work, so I'm not sure whether say the program compilation works like on other platforms, neither do I know what Copy/Paste shortcuts does Mac use and how well do my alternatives fit into its keyboard input scheme. In other words, there are too many unknowns for me to claim usability. Though if someone can try it out and it would work, I would indeed mention that.

@Tardis Rust is actually one of the easiest languages to compile stuff, because it has a very uniform ecosystem centered around a well-built package manager, so as far as you're okay with using terminal, cargo build --release is mostly the only command you need to run. When it comes to learning programming languages, Rust is not the best choice for people without at least some programming background, since as awesome as it is, it is still a middle-level language and quite a few things revolve around middle-level topics. Plus, Rustc is one of the most complaining compilers in the programming field, what is a good thing, because your programs end up being robust and well coded, but I can imagine unless you're used to it, it can be quite discouraging. So my personal tip would be either CSharp or Python. Both are high level languages, both have really nice syntax, as well as big ecosystems. The main difference is that CS is statically typed while Python is dynamic. Whichone is preferred is a matter of debate. Some people would say Python is easier, because you only need to write what you want to do and it will likely work. However, dynamic code is imo considerably harder to reason about, and also you don't get compiler errors when type clashes occur, you only find out when you actually run the program, what's not quite desired. Python as a project has continuously brought the ability to mark types of things, this is how pro code deals with these issues, but then, you loose the cleanlines of the Python code, which wwas its initial strong point. So, it matters. Perhaps more than syntax are important the things you wish you could do with a programming language, and learn on something that's funny for you. It can be anything - coding a game, website, neural networks, or reverse engineering, there are people who got into the coding field through C (a pretty low-level language), because they were interested in processors, reverse engineering and other low-level stuff, so the choice was just natural for them. So, maybe this would be a better line of thinking and consideration.

Vision: Access GPT 4 visual capabilities from your laptop

ever since Be my AI demonstrated the capabilities of GPT 4 for understanding the content of images, which is not a single bit less impressive than its textual abilities, I was looking forward to having an API I could use.
Because this brings awesome potential for various use-cases, though also for economical reasons, Be my AI is not on Android yet and I can't really afford spending $20 monthly on a ChatGPT + subscription.

Few days ago, OpenAI finally introduced a vision API, and here is my really simple, but working Be my AI in terminal:
github.com/RastislavKish/visio…

Let's have some fun, there is a lot to enjoy!

Note: Uploading images can take a while, though if it apparently takes too long, it's likely frozen, OpenAI is dealing with a lot of demand after their dev conference on six-th November, so chatGPT is down from time to time. My script is not very well prepared for this at this moment, I may add proper timeouts and retry options if it becomes too big of an issue, though I rather expect things to calm down again as things get resolved on the OpenAI side.

A couple of days ago at work we announced the Steam Deck OLED. It’s available next week (Nov 16) and though it’s got a bunch of great improvements like longer battery life, faster downloads, the star is the ultra-bright HDR OLED screen.

The screens are ridiculously bright and vibrant, so we thought it would be fun to use actual Steam Deck OLEDs as lighting sources to light our entire launch trailer.

Of course this necessitated building a giant metal orb. First though, here’s the final spot:

I can’t even begin to tell you what a massive improvement it is for my mental health that there is now an Indonesian coffee shop near where I live in SF; that PLAYS LAGU GALAU (emo Indonesian music; one of my major music genres!)

It just opened, and.. hearing this music, and this language, around me in a place where I sometimes feel unmoored and far from home, is just a godsend.

Indonesia has the most interesting coffee scene I’ve seen. Not only are they one of the largest producers of coffee, their beans are so diverse (from Bali Kintamani to Aceh Gayo, and Sulawesi / Toraja beans, they each come from different islands; islands that are bigger than entire countries, with different soil, elevation..)

Local brewing styles plus Aussie craft cafe inspiration: I have been desperately missing this coffee scene and I’m so glad there is now ONE place for me here.

in reply to Adrianna Tan

Also, for people who don’t really like v acidic coffee roasts that SF cafes seem to favor: Indonesian coffees are not usually as ‘bright’ and ‘acidic’. These tend to be the beans from Africa.

The beans at Kopiku: Bali Kintamani, Aceh Gayo, Sulawesi Toraja, which are the big ones. Their beans come from Beaneka, a related business.

In the past I would have to go out of my way to look for third wave coffee with Indonesian beans. Even then they’d only have one.

Finally seriously thinking about buying a new PC as my daily driver. Looking at this fanless mini-ITX desktop: silentpc.com/fanless-pcs/strea… With a 12-core Ryzen 9, 64 GB of DDR5 6000 MHz RAM, a Samsung 990 Pro 4TB M.2 SSD, and an extended warranty, it comes in at a little under $3K. I think a fanless desktop in this form factor will make me happier than either a laptop or a tower.

Das hier ist aktiviert:

Aktiviere diese Einstellung, wenn du von anderen einfach gefunden und gefolgt werden möchtest. Dei Profil wird dann auf anderen Systemen leicht durchsuchbar. Außerdem regelt diese Einstellung ob Friendica Suchmaschinen mitteilen soll, ob dein Profil indiziert werden soll oder nicht. Dein Profil wird auch in den globalen Friendica Verzeichnissen (z.B. dir.friendica.social) veröffentlicht werden.

Trotzdem ist mein Profil nicht zu finden 🤷‍♂️

Wie lange dauert das denn, oder muss man noch was anderes dafür tun?

in reply to Crazy-to-Bike

Als Single-Instanz kann ich sagen, folgen und gefolgt werden ist da noch elementarer auf einer großen Instanz. Auf der Single-Instanz bist du diesbezüglich halt dein einziger Multiplikator. Mit dem friendica Verzeichnis habe ich keine Erfahrungswert, war aber mit meinen Testinstanzen immer relativ zügig bei crawlern und Statistik-Seiten bekannt. Kann Friendica Relais? Das wäre sonst noch eine Option.
in reply to Tealk

@Tealk @tom @dominion :verified_root:

ich musste jetzt feststellen, dass diese Relays für einen extremen Anstieg der Serverload sorgen. Vielleicht waren, obwohl im Backend nur 4 Relays angezeigt wurden alle 8 aktiv, die ich über die Konsole hinzugefügt habe und vielleicht sind mehr als 1-2 Relays zu viel des Guten, aber die Load ging auf fast 100, als ich vorhin in kurzer Zeit viel geliked, geteilt und ein paar Posts geschrieben habe.

Nach Entfernen aller Relays dümpelt die Load wieder bei < 1.

in reply to tom

@tom

Bezüglich Load und Loadanstieg habe ich auch keinen Vergleich, da ich auf Mastodon ja nicht auf einem selbst gehosteten Server war.

De facto ist die Nutzung von Mastodon in Apps aber deutlich flüssiger als Friendica. Das betrifft das Nachladen in der Timeline als auch das Liken und Teilen. Bei Mastodon kann ich im Sekundentakt liken und teilen, bei Friendica kommt da in den Apps "Es ist ein Fehler aufgetreten" und auch die Load steigt an (wenn auch bei Weitem nicht annähernd so wie mit den Relays).

Vielleicht ließe sich mein Server noch in der Perfomance optimieren, aber ich bin mir nicht sicher, ob das nicht auch an Friendica selbst liegt.

Vielleicht teste ich doch mal noch Mastodon auf dem eigenen Server... 🤔

@Tealk @dominion :verified_root:

in reply to tom

@tom

Nein, kannte ich bislang nicht.

Friendica kann man mit Tusky und Fedilab schon nutzen. Aber wie gesagt: Da kommen immer wieder Fehlermeldungen, wenn man schnell liked oder teilt, und das Laden ist mit gewissen Wartezeiten verbunden.

Kann natürlich auch an meiner Instanz liegen, dass die trotz nochmal neu aufsetzen nicht optimal performant läuft. Allerdings wüsste ich nicht, wo da noch viel rauszuholen wäre.

@Tealk @dominion :verified_root:

in reply to Crazy-to-Bike

@Tealk @dominion Ok das würde mich auch nerven. Kenne ich so weder von Gotosocial noch von Mastodon. Bzgl Gotosocial finde ich super, das der Betriebsaufwand minimal ist. Läuft auf ner Mini VPS absolut performant und theoretisch reicht es, ein binary zu starten, that’s it. Wahlweise kann man es seinen Bedürfnissen anpassen und einen Reverse Proxy davor schalten und separate Datenbank anbinden. Ist aber kein Muss.

Zároveň má prodlouženou záruku do roku 2027.
