Could one integrate this with apps like NextTube or PipePipe? I.e., When I search for a video on those apps, they search the torrent index first, then search Frama Tube / PeerTube second, then search YouTube-proper last. While I’m streaming a video from any of these sources, I am then also downloading and seeding it to the torrent network and I keep seeding the last videos I watched on a rolling basis until an allocated memory space on my disk is full and the oldest or least requested video in that local buffer is deleted to make space for new; while I’m on Wifi to save mobile data? I think providing such seamless integration is the best way to get this space densely populated enough to be useful.

I have not. To be perfectly honest, I don’t really understand how that would even work. Can you elaborate? At home, I run a local model with a Kobold CCP backbone to localhost. The physical network is a private Wifi, though the computer is running VPN and I haven’t given much thought about what that means for the AI via localhost. At work, I can thankfully use a responsibly managed AI (company servers, very strong and externally audited data privacy standard with zero on-server data retention) for coding.

Thank you for the context. Highly appreciated! I had gathered the gradual decline in funding and surveillance from this publication but they didn’t really talk about the damages done by COVID or DOGE.

Then they should’ve included a short TLDR even harder

TLDR: Open package repositories without some approval and oversight system, like AUR, will have even more problems in the future due to advanced coding AI and malicious foreign hackers.

Edit: Please normalize TLDR’s on bot posts with just a link.

Edit 2: I have been rightfully informed that this is not a bot post. I still think links should not be posted without a tiny abstract, one might say: a TLDR.

I have also been informed that the text does not spell out “foreign”. This is correct. The text does say

Not all of the packaging issues are as bad as the initial wave of trying to steal credentials, some are just adding ridiculous messages in Russian.

This implies but does not establish the nationality of attackers. While Arch has contributors from all over the world, it is commonly cited as being a Canadian distribution (example, see below). https://distrowatch.com/table-mobile.php?distribution=arch

Appreciate the recommendations. I will give IronFox a try.
