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.

This should be a pinned post as it really captures the essence of my experience so far. (programming.dev)

Do you remember what the original was?

I think it's https://xkcd.com/1425/

In the 60s, Marvin Minsky assigned a couple of undergrads to spend the summer programming a computer to use a camera to identify objects in a scene. He figured they'd have the problem solved by the end of the summer. Half a century later, we're still working on it.

Funny, now it's easy to check for birds.

If by "easy" you mean someone else already spent 5 years and a nice chunk of cash training a model for it, which you get to use. And if you accept that it will not be accurate across all possible species and environments, only very specific subsets.

We spent the five years training the model. Manually. With Captcha data.

Now we're teaching it not to run traffic signals, hit motorcycles or busses, or try to drive up stairs.

I'm waiting for the day Google Recaptcha will ask me "is that traffic light red?" and after a couple of seconds "hurry up, I'm approaching the intersection!"

This is original work. The source is in the post.

For a generous definition of "original".

Edit: very generous, since it's just new text on the second panel in https://xkcd.com/1269/

A bit of reverse image searching reveals this was the original XKCD comic (more specifically, the top middle panel): https://xkcd.com/1269/
