    I would like to introduce Tabby, which is a self-hosted alternative to GitHub Copilot that you can integrate into your hardware. While GitHub Copilot has made coding more efficient and less time-consuming by assisting developers with suggestions and completing code, it raises concerns around privacy and security. Tabby is in its early stages, and we are excited to receive feedback from the community. Its Github repository is located here: https://github.com/TabbyML/tabby. We have also deployed the latest docker image to Huggingface for a live demo:…

It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
