Hey everyone,I'm micr0, the creator of @altbot, the open-source bot that helps generate alt-text for images on the Fediverse to make content more accessible.I have some exciting news to share - Altbot no longer uses Google's services! Many of you expressed concerns about privacy when I first launched Altbot using Google Gemini, worried about your images being processed on their servers and potentially used for training.I promised to fix this, and I'm thrilled to announce that Altbot 2.0 is now running entirely on my own hardware using the Ovis2:8B model. Your images are processed locally with absolutely zero data retention - your content never leaves my server and isn't used to train any models.The new system is fully GDPR compliant, and descriptions are even better across all 11 supported languages. What's also cool is that the setup is significantly more energy efficient, with 36% of power coming from clean sources. Altbot now even shows you how much energy was used for each request!The only things Altbot 2.0 records are that a request happened, how long it took, and what language was used. No images, no content, no personal data - nothing that could identify you.Building this upgrade was more expensive than planned - I needed a more powerful server with an A5500 GPU, which exceeded my budget by about $900 that I covered out of pocket. If you appreciate this commitment to privacy and accessibility, any support through my Ko-fi page would help recover these costs and keep Altbot free for everyone: https://ko-fi.com/micr0byte/goal?g=18Thanks so much for your support! I built Altbot because I believe accessibility shouldn't compromise privacy, and now that vision is reality.Feel free to boost or reach out with any questions!

Hey Fediverse!I'm micr0, creator of @altbot, the open-source bot that helps generate alt-text for images on the Fediverse to make content more accessible.What's New in 2.1?After successfully moving image processing to local hardware with version 2.0, I've now brought video processing capability back - but with a major privacy upgrade! Altbot can now generate descriptions for videos completely locally and privately without sending content to Google or any other third-party services.Important note: Currently, video processing is visual-only and doesn't include audio transcription. The audio processing Google was doing was some serious black magic fuckery that isn't possible to replicate locally with current technologies. But the visual descriptions are excellent and totally private!With this update:All processing happens locally with zero data retentionComplete privacy for all contentNo data used for training modelsVideos processed with the same privacy standards as imagesI've also maintained Altbot's focus on energy efficiency - while video processing naturally requires more resources than images, I've implemented it to be as efficient as possible, keeping power consumption to a minimum while still delivering great results.Thank You for Your Support!I want to express my heartfelt thanks to everyone who helped me reach my donation goal on Ko-fi with the 2.0 launch! Your generosity made it possible to set up the local processing infrastructure that powers this privacy-focused service.The response from the community has been incredible, and it means so much to know that privacy and accessibility are values we share.What's Next for Altbot?I'm already working on exciting future developments:An Altbot API that will allow developers to integrate alt-text generation into their applicationsDirect integration with Fediverse software platforms - I'm collaborating with instance developers to make accessibility a built-in feature!Remember that Altbot has always been and remains fully open-source, with self-hosting being a core feature from day one for anyone who wants to run their own instance.Supporting Ongoing Development & InfrastructureAltbot currently runs on hardware in my home, which means I'm covering all the electricity costs for powering the GPU server that processes your media. While I've designed the system to be energy-efficient, running a dedicated AI server still impacts my monthly power bill.Monthly donations would be especially helpful in sustainably supporting:Ongoing electricity costsTime spent on development and maintenanceFuture infrastructure improvementsEven small recurring contributions can make a huge difference in keeping this service running reliably and allowing me to dedicate more time to improvements!Ways to Support:Ko-fi (one-time or monthly): https://ko-fi.com/micr0byteEthereum: 0xC992E57236eb9F30E79d0469446a6CF08Be05939I've added the ETH option for those who prefer crypto or don't want to use PayPal!Version 2.1 also includes various internal improvements and bug fixes that make everything run more smoothly behind the scenes.Thanks again for your support in making the web more accessible without compromising on privacy!Feel free to boost or reach out with questions!
