Third, to save you time, dollars, and the headache of getting stuck on a corporate system. </p> <p>We argue for a strategic shift towards a more decentralized and resilient software stack. To help, we offer practical insights on how to make this transition effectively. Further, on this repo, you will find manuals to implement alternatives to the standard software politics software systems for free. </p>"},{"location":"phil/who-reads-your-secrets/#note-from-the-editor","title":"Note From the Editor","text":"<p>I (thatreallyblondehuman) studied political science with a interest in data and regional politics at the University of Alberta. I've had a special interest in computers my whole life; building and coding on them as a hobbyist. Having done hard labor, I also know the value of functional tools that don't require marketing to do the job well. </p> <p>In the formation of my politics I  worked with political actors from every corner of the spectrum: communists to capitalists, anarchists to royalists. My politics are much more defined now however I did learn how all types of politicians use data. I have seen the inner workings of political parties, their data systems, and what actually provides influence on their thinking. </p> <p>I have also labored for one of Canada's largest SAAS companies. Seeing the internal workings of a large corporate software company highlighted for me how impactful data collection can be in the sale of a product; including how these products use differential pricing to lock in users. </p> <p>Personally this knowledge has changed my perspective on politics and how I use data. In developing guides for open source advocacy software I've already saved hundreds of dollars in monthly costs and have learned a incredible amount about how to communicate on scale. For example, I was able to write this repository and design my own LLM without any formal training thanks to the empowering effect of these tools. </p> <p>The convergence of politics, software, and AI are reshaping our world; I encourage you to consider learning these tools.</p>"},{"location":"phil/who-reads-your-secrets/#software-the-heck-is-that","title":"Software?

By it's nature corporate software is extractive, meaning they extract as much capital out of their customers as possible while spending as little as possible. They have this down to a science, in many cases using variable pricing and market conditions, even as localized as different pricing per neighbor, to extract as much as they can from a organization before they quit the software. </p> <p>In the case of politics, they extract information. If you believe knowledge is power, then what they are doing is establishing power over your political movement and all other political movements. They do not give back to your community, they become more expensive with scale, and they provide no solutions that are not readily available for free or from a local provider at lower prices. This is by design and therein is political in nature. </p> <p>As outlined by Epoch Philosophy, we live in a hyper-surveillance state. That hyper-surveillance is being deployed by corporations. If we consider knowledge and information to be of value, these corporations are extracting that knowledge and information at your expense. They are becoming more powerful by the day.

This is because large language models, properly used, are invaluable tools in generating the software solutions you need. Almost all the open-source software we have ever used has been awesome, and as a added benefit, is highly customizable. Your LLM will help with that.</p> <p>If you want to dive deeper into LLMs, check out the Wikipedia entry on Large language models. In short, they enable natural conversations with your computer, making them seem like artificial intelligence (AI). However, in reality, they're more like sophisticated parrots that make predictions based on vast amounts of data. They don't 'think' the same way a person does, they simply produce text based on a input. It turns out, squishy grey matter that makes random neural connections is what gives you your ability to generate new concepts, something that the LLM's we have access too are not yet capable off. </p> <p></p> <p>That all doesn't mean they are incredibly powerful and capable bits of code! Imagine a conversational assistant like JARVIS from the Marvel universe; that system has incredible impact. Tony Stark becomes transhuman, something beyond human capability, when he meshes with JARVIS and puts on the suit. </p> <p>Such systems will soon become capable of real-world impact through various vectors, such as manufacturing or running science experiments. While still just a smart computer, they're easy to code, control, and train.</p> <p>What is coming within the decade is the physical representation of JARVIS. Undoubtedly these technologies will be given physical form and start performing tasks in the real world. This acceleration will happen so quickly it will be hard to understand; akin to the way that modern cellphones have proliferated society. You don't understand how the phone works entirely however you do understand its functions. Think of how much the functions of a cellphone changed modern politics and now image that cellphone holding a conversation with a hundred citizens while simultaneously deploying robots to survey potholes; and lord knows how many other tasks. </p> <p>That is all to say; if you are interested in politics, you should be learning how these technologies work as quickly as possible, for they will be changing how the game is played.</p> <p>A JARVIS system that aids a person can engage in direct and personal conversation on an unprecedented scale. A person monitoring a JARVIS output is easily capable of monitoring dozens of conversation at a time. </p> <p></p> <p>By being fluent in computer languages, you, as a political actor, will be able to image and generate alternatives to corporate software and write narratives quicker than a person who does not. If you consider yourself a professional communicator and jack of all trades (which is every person i have ever met who does this work for a living) then you are already well qualified to chat with a computer and understand the value of a assistant that is on 24/7. </p> <p>Further, if you start working with your own personal JARVIS, it quickly becomes apparent what things that the computer can do and what is necessary for a human to do. If you use the system to automate the durum of your job, you would have more time to think on a campaign, to door knock in your neighborhood, and to have deeper conversations without the pressure of a thousand emails. </p> <p>The most wonderful thing about these technologies is that they are already free, open-sourced, and easy to install on any modern computer.</p> <p>We suggest you start with a free JARVIS because this system is capable of providing you support through the process of replacing all your corporate software.

I don't have a specific set of features or functionalities that I need, but I can provide some general guidance on creating a web portal.</p> <p>A web portal is essentially an online gateway that provides users with access to various resources, services, or information. Here are some steps you can take to create a web portal:</p> <ol> <li>Define the purpose : Determine what kind of content or services will be hosted on the portal. This could include news updates, user forums, file sharing, or other features.</li> <li>Choose a platform : Decide whether to build the portal from scratch using a programming language like HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, or use a Content Management System (CMS) like WordPress, Drupal, or Joomla.</li> <li>Design the layout : Sketch out a wireframe of the portal's layout, including navigation menus, page sections, and any other visual elements.</li> <li>Plan for user authentication : Decide how users will access the portal, whether through registration, login credentials, or guest access.</li> <li>Develop the content management system : If you're using a CMS, configure it to manage the types of content that will be hosted on the portal. Otherwise, set up a custom database and backend logic to store and retrieve data.</li> <li>Implement features and integrations : Depending on your design, you may need to integrate external services (e.g., social media sharing), APIs, or other third-party tools.</li> <li> <p>Test and refine : Ensure that the portal is stable, secure, and performs as expected. Some popular frameworks and tools for building web portals include:</p> </li> <li> <p>Front-end: HTML/CSS/JavaScript with libraries like React, Angular, or Vue.js</p> </li> <li>Back-end: Node.js, Python (with Django or Flask), Ruby on Rails, or PHP</li> <li>Database: MySQL, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, or other NoSQL databases</li> </ol> <p>Keep in mind that building a web portal can be a complex task, requiring expertise in multiple areas. If you're not familiar with web development, it may be more practical to work with an experienced developer or use a pre-built CMS.</p> <p>How would you like me to guide you further? Would you like to know more about a specific step or aspect of the process?</p> <p>However if I am more descriptive in my prompt the model is also able to be more specific: </p> <p><code>My operating system is Ubuntu 24. I am running ollama with openwebui. I have expereince working with Cloudflared for hosting applications. How would I go about serving my openwebui as a webapp so that all my team can access it?</code></p> <p>It sounds like you want to deploy your OpenWebUI application behind a reverse proxy using CloudFlare, similar to how you've hosted other applications with CloudFlared.</p> <p>Here's a step-by-step guide to help you achieve this:</p> <p>Prerequisites:</p> <ol> <li>You have Ubuntu 24 (or later) installed on your server.</li> <li>Ollama is running with OpenWebUI.</li> <li>You're familiar with CloudFlare and its configuration.</li> </ol> <p>Step 1: Install required packages</p> <p>Update your package list and install the necessary packages: <pre><code>sudo apt update &amp;&amp; sudo apt upgrade -y\n\nsudo apt install curl wget nginx git unzip python3-pip python3-dev libffi-dev libssl-dev python3-venv -y\n</code></pre> Step 2: Configure CloudFlare</p> <p>You'll need to create a CloudFlare account or use an existing one. Then, set up a new Zone with the following settings:</p> <ul> <li>Domain Name: Use a domain name that will point to your server (e.g., example.com).</li> <li>Subdomain: Create a subdomain for your OpenWebUI application (e.g., app.example.com).</li> </ul> <p>Step 3: Configure CloudFlare DNS</p> <p>Create a new CNAME record in the CloudFlare DNS settings:</p> <ul> <li>Name: Enter the subdomain you created earlier (e.g., app.example.com).</li> <li>Type: Select CNAME.</li> <li>Target: Set this to the IP address of your Ubuntu server.</li> </ul> <p>Step 4: Create a CloudFlare worker</p> <p>In the CloudFlare dashboard, navigate to Workers &gt; Workers and create a new worker:</p> <ul> <li>Name: Give it a descriptive name (e.g., \"OpenWebUI Proxy\").</li> <li>Script: Upload the following script: <pre><code>addEventListener('fetch', event =&gt; {\n  event.respond({\n    status: 302,\n    headers: { 'location': 'https://ollama.example.com' },\n  });\n});\n</code></pre> This worker will redirect all traffic to your OpenWebUI application.</li> </ul> <p>Step 5: Configure Ollama</p> <p>Update the Ollama configuration to use the new CloudFlare subdomain:</p> <ul> <li>Edit the <code>config.json</code> file and update the listen setting to: <pre><code>{\n  \"listen\": {\n    \"host\": \"*\",\n    \"port\": 443,\n    \"https\": true,\n    \"certs\": [...],\n    \"cipherSuites\": [\n      // Your cipher suites here...\n    ]\n  }\n}\n</code></pre> Restart Ollama for the changes to take effect.</li> </ul> <p>Step 6: Test your setup</p> <p>Verify that everything is working correctly by visiting <code>https://app.example.com</code> in a web browser. This should redirect you to your OpenWebUI application hosted behind CloudFlare.</p> <p>That's it! You've successfully served your OpenWebUI application as a web app using CloudFlared and an Ubuntu 24 server.</p> <p>That's a lot different of a reply.
