I the past couple of months, I didn't have much time to work on the site(s), but now I'm back on track. Since last weekend, I experimented a bit with AI, tried out various differents models/apps/services and prompts for automating common tasks like collecting content for programming cheatsheets, and converting cheatsheets from Markdown to HTML. Unfortunately I had to realize that most offline AI apps/models are pretty trash, they either crash constantly with larger models, are extremely slow, or miss the option to attach documents (which is important for converting a cheatsheet). I tried Ollama's new online service too, but it requires registration, and also asked for a valid phone number, I just refused to provide that. I ended up with Proton Lumo, which does a not perfect, but decent job at both information collection and cheatsheet conversion. I also made use of the new Projects feature (covered in last week's news post), made some prompt aliases, which aren't necessary but make prompting for repetitive tasks more convenient.
I also managed to finish another Java cheatsheet, the one about arrays, which you can already access in the beta version of both the original and Min site:
https://fosseryweb.codeberg.page/@beta/cheatsheets/java/array.html
https://fosseryweb-min.codeberg.page/@beta/cheatsheets/java/array.html
If you notice any bug or typo, feel free to drop a comment.
I also tested the original site with the new Servo and Pale Moon releases, but nothing changed, there are still the same compatibility issues.
The last 2 planned Java cheatsheets (Lists, Maps) will probably be available in the next 2-3 weeks if everything go as planned, then I focus on the other stuff, like making the sites more offline-friendly, writing the contribution guide and Privacy Policy, etc.

University course book be like: Let's use cloud services to reduce energy consumption, and get rid of the ownership of digital devices to produce less e-waste!

Seriously?? What about using Linux instead of Windows? That way, you don't have to throw away your fully functional computer just because Microsoft wants so, so you produce less e-waste, and if you have a desktop computer, you also achieve reduced energy consumption, because Linux consumes less RAM (power management isn't the best on laptops, but the reduced RAM usage also compensates for that); and also protect your privacy, because your system doesn't spy on you, and you also because you have to buy a new computer less often, you're left with more money to potentially spend on improving your privacy (e.g. via a Mullvad VPN subscription).

And what about having a bike instead of a car? That way, you reduce air pollution because bike doesn't require any fuel, and you also protect your privacy, because bikes don't have privacy invasive embedded systems which phone home all the time, plus again, you're left with more money to improve your privacy, because bikes are much cheaper. (Plus you also do some sport when riding bike, which is beneficial for your health, so actually triple benefit. Hooray!)

See? You don't have to give up on any of the two noble goals, you can contribute to both at the same time.

Actually, I'm surprised university profs didn't think of this (yes, they know Linux, they mentioned it in other course books). Or maybe they did, they just slave for big tech and governments? 🤔 Idk what to think at this point.

https://proton.me/blog/lumo-1-3
(Looks like some chat folders mixed with "custom GPT" thing. I played around with it, created a project for FosseryWeb, wrote some prompt "aliases" to the "Instuctions" field for common tasks like collecting info for cheatsheets and converting cheatsheets from Markdown to HTML using an HTML template file. It works perfectly, can be pretty handy to shorten long prompts. It can also handle aliased followup prompts, and "variables" inside prompts, which can be provided with value when using the alias. Pretty cool stuff.)

(I usually avoid including political things in these weekly news posts, but I thought it must be included, because it can potentially affect everyone in the EU. I'm not affected yet, because so far Vodafone seems to be the only one blocking the site, I use a different ISP, but since it's a law, other ISPs will probably be forced to comply too (unless it will be handled as GDPR that they don't actually care who complies). VPN will probably be a solution to get around the ban, hopefully they won't ban that too, like the UK wants...)
