“[Mistral's] models […] are firmly middling. […] So #Mistral has tried to make its name by competing more obliquely. For instance, many of its models are #opensource: anyone may download and use them without explicit permission, for no charge. Others are released under the company’s own "research" #licence; commercial users must pay for them, #hobbyists and #hackers can fool around with them #freely.”

Mastodon, I need your help. I'm researching a topic of maybe something I want to build in the future in the email space.

Can you help me out with this survey where I try to understand how you use email? The survey is absolutely anonymous, and you would help me out a lot. (Please boost friends) 🙏🏻

Maybe the US is right. Maybe Europe got poorer because we outsourced everything to the US or China and are not even trying. We Europeans don’t even invest in our own economy.

It’s time to build things in Europe and not give it up to US tech monopolies. The opportunity is here and we need to grab it. 🇪🇺💪

I built the #subjam infra from the ground up on hardware I own, colocated at a secure datacenter I have physical access to.

These servers run a fleet of VMs (libvirt/qemu/kvm) that make up pretty much every service necessary for an Internet platform: DNS (bind), mail (postfix), web (apache), reverse proxy (haproxy), database (postgres, mariadb), storage (gluster) and a bunch of others.

It's very rewarding to be in near complete control of my services!
