DuckDuckGo installs up 18% after Google I/O. Larry Ellison: "Citizens will be on their best behavior."
People are connecting the dots.
Local AI is the same instinct. Your queries, your docs, your reasoning — running on your hardware, staying in your home.
Not paranoia. Just ownership.

Self-Hosting an ActivityPub Video Podcast Is Surprisingly Affordable
4/
When you look at the actual storage requirements, self-hosting a video podcast on the Fediverse starts to look a lot less intimidating — and a lot more realistic.
It is affordable — especially with your own HomeLab (where you buy your own hard drives rather than rent them).
Open-Weight Models Edge Closer to Production Readiness
Open-weight AI models like DeepSeek R1 can now do complex coding and reasoning. They can run on your own computer.

Google just dropped Gemma 4 with a 256K context window.
Cloud headline. But the interesting part: Gemma 4 runs locally.
A 256K context window on-device means you can feed your entire codebase, a meeting transcript, or a personal knowledge base into a model that never phones home.
Local AI just leveled up again.
Wi-Fi practically acts as sonar. Every signal bouncing off your body comes back slightly different. Good enough to read your heart rate and breathing through a wall.
Could be used for good (fall detection for elderly care) or not (passive surveillance without cameras).
Fascinating either way!
Long and lots of links, but kinda homespun. I guess that's appropriate tho!
