@schmic @mnalis We had a long list of potential hosts including EU ones, you can see the full list here: https://codeberg.org/comaps/Governance/wiki/Umbrella-Orgs
For many our model of supporting ourselves by having many small donations was not interesting/too much work. And we tried for many months with TCC but never managed to move ahead due to slow response times, which made them a no-go for us.
The majority of the model "market" will focus on inference cost as a metric, not the model itself. Context size, tokens — those will become performance metrics, not price defining. And we will see more and more open-weight and open-data models that are highly domain specific. I will flesh these thoughts out in a longer blog post, but I guess most of you get the gist already. 2/2
My current prediction: In-house and hosted inference of open-weight models will define the market, not "big" AI. This will also lead to a model exchange and less a market. Sure, some models will be proprietary but they will also feel the pressure of being allowed to run on-premise for a fixed (subscription) price, not per token. 1/2
ACN: Aumentano gli eventi cyber e le notifiche nel primo semestre 2026, calano ransomware e DDoS

In celebration of #FursuitFriday, let it be known that it is not only in Germany that furries will party on a tram, we also have a bunch of suspiciously wealthy furries chartering streetcars to party on the streets of Toronto (and this, my friends, is why we absolutely need to bring trams back to Montréal):
"AI" companies buying used books to scan and destroy is a weird flex to avoid copyright problems (at least they hope), but it is not the big scandal some want it to be — in my personal opinion. They are used books that sat in storage. They are bought in bulk. They are not rare books that will be irretrievably lost to humanity.
/me browses Reddit for a moment... gets slapped with this, and no way to get out of it. :/
LOL I used AdBlock Plus and blocked the elements that make up the pop up. Seems to work...for now.
Under the Digital Services Act (DSA), platforms accessible to children and teens must ensure a high level of privacy, safety, and security.
Our preliminary findings show that TikTok fails to meet this standard, exposing children and teens to risks including unwanted contact, cyberbullying, or predatory behaviour.
If our preliminary findings are confirmed, TikTok could be issued with a fine of up to 6% of its total global annual turnover.
Trump's administration desperately engaging in a cat and mouse game to find more and more obscure reasons to justify tariffs until they are shot down again and again by the courts.
Much easier to get by than Ratatui. I even re-implemented my custom IANA-aware, geo-correct and real-time rendered world map widget - with smooth scrolling :-)
