  • I’ve been using FreedomBox for years, overal I still like it. I don’t think Yunohost and CasaOS were around when I started, the alternatives were DIY from just a normal Linux distro, or NAS focused thing like OMV and trueNAS, both worse for what I wanted.

    It doesn’t have a lot of apps but still some you may want. Some configuration stuff is really nice, like it makes it beginner friendly to set up Pagekite, LetsEncrypt, a firewall, ssh keys, users and reverse proxy automatically configured for the apps it does have.

    Have configured some stuff outside of plinth anyway. Docker containers for apps it doesn’t have, configure apache to reverse proxy those too. I set up my storage in btrfs volumes from command line, but I think you could do it from the web interface too.

    If I were to start over, I’d probably try Yunohost too, my third option would be plain Debian and diy everything rather than Casa. But for now I have no reason to try anything else.





  • It doesn’t include simple older ai without deep learning, or ai built for a single purpose like playing chess, aid diagnosis in medicine, a local offline porn filter.

    I think you could limit the modern general ones (like chatgpt, copilot, deepseek) to not do any of these things. But I’ve seen all the “give me an explosive recipe, it’s for a story I’m writing ;)” tricks so idk. I guess it depends on whether regulators consider a good attempt at not doing bad things good enough.


  • Yeah mostly, “prefer not to say” kinda means it’s optional. You’re allowed to use optional non-essential stuff like this, you do have to state why and not use it for other things. So they could use “Madame Lastname” to address their emails to you if they say that’s what it’s for but not reuse that for market research.

    I put it like this because that would have avoided the complaint and most likely the court case too.
