Ayup, I found out too late about this and now my name is going to be a curse word in the future.

I can give a partial and interesting answer:

Since Norway is in European Economic Area (EEA) so is Svalbard (althought it's not in Schengen), where Microsoft backs up best of Github to my knowledge to the Arctic World Archive.

AWA is an attempt to preserve data on the long term.

Edit: ok it was a snapshot of all public repos on Github in 2020 (21TB). Here's more info: https://archiveprogram.github.com/arctic-vault/

Damn. Yeah let's hope he can hire some help...

[–] Lazycog@sopuli.xyz 2 points 7 months ago

Oh! didn't know that, I thought activitypub can't be used for secure messaging. Lol really hope its XMPP!

Yeah I didn't take it that seriously when it was announced right now. Just hope pixelfed stays afloat amidst the user flood and hope he can publish loops as open source soon!

[–] Lazycog@sopuli.xyz 3 points 7 months ago

Let's hope so! :)

There isn't much information about "Sup", but if I had to guess it could be that dansup is making sup app with XMPP(rotocol) as the messaging protocol.

Yeah.. I'm bit afraid of "kbin Ernest Effect" (not sure what a proper term is) where personal issues pile up and the sole head developer just disappears.

Haven't followed dansup much but from what I understand he is much more open to pull requests and listening to the community, but time will tell. Right now I appreciate and love his effort, giving, and the impact on fediverse he is brining.

The kickstarter was a good idea.

Yeah. I love Signal but it doesn't belong in that list. Dansup (creator of loops and pixelfed) is apparently working on "Sup" that will be a decentralized alternative to whatsapp.

Lol love it! didn't know that "Delve" is so prominent in GTP4.

And a good commentary of the massive amount of power training these things uses and sadly impacts the environment. I hope the recent revelations and events lead AI developers back to the drawing table and take responsibility about optimizing these things.

Glad I was able to get a chuckle out of someone!

And yeah was imagining someone looking at server usage and noticing a peak thanks to some roleplaying community finding out about LLM for the first time lol.
