  • It seems like the most significant new feature is called anti-gravity which is kind of an allow list?

    We’ve had white lists for a long time so I’m not exactly sure how this will impact the system. That being said I read through the release notes and there are a lot of changes and improvements throughout the system, so congrats to them team on the 6 release.

    I’ve had pihole running on my home network for years and I love it.



  • Hah, I installed Postiz just yesterday, interesting to see this thread. It’s like buffer or one of the other paid tools to schedule your social media posts and track engagement. Of course, of particular interest to our community, Postiz is self hosted.

    It doesn’t have as many features yet as the major SaaS businesses, but the software is looking good and quite usable right now. I’m sure the more people who use it and support the developer, the more this tool can grow.

    For example you can plug in your OpenAI API key and get an LLM chat interface inside the software while writing social posts. But I don’t think it learns your style or creates posts using any kind of system prompt yet unless you type it in each time.

    Another thing I couldn’t figure out so far is how to limit which social media channels individual users can see. For example my business has several different units and there’s a different marketing team on each unit, so they shouldn’t be able to post into other channels.

    If you’re in the business of needing to post regularly on a lot of channels I think postiz is worth checking out.






  • One of the best things ever about LLMs is how you can give them absolute bullshit textual garbage and they can parse it with a huge level of accuracy.

    Some random chunks of html tables, output a csv and convert those values from imperial to metric.

    Fragments of a python script and ask it to finish the function and create a readme to explain the purpose of the function. And while it’s at it recreate the missing functions.

    Copy paste of a multilingual website with tons of formatting and spelling errors. Ask it to fix it. Boom done.

    Of course, the problem here is that developers can no longer clean their inputs as well and are encouraged to send that crappy input straight along to the LLM for processing.

    There’s definitely going to be a whole new wave of injection style attacks where people figure out how to reverse engineer AI company magic.







  • Agree with another commenter that documentation is an issue. If you’re a developer, it’s not too bad. It uses a kind of homebrew model/view/template python backend that might baffle you for a while.

    If you don’t need to modify it or integrate it too much with your bank, e-commerce sites, cash registers, etc then it pretty much works out of the box.

    Odoo came from a fully open sourced project years ago and is getting more and more closed and expensive over time as they go upmarket. If you really want to own your data I’m not sure that’s a good direction.

    There is a fork called Flectra that is usually about a version behind Odoo but reintegrates a lot of the paid features of Odoo for free, but its documentation and community is even smaller.
