relevant_xkcd VS ubikom

TL;DR--an automatic xkcd recommendation bot. [1]

"Relevant xkcd" is a meme that's been a part of online communities for as soon as the comic had gained notoriety on online communities. [2] I wanted to build a bot to see how true that was. I've got a lot of the hard parts completed, sitting in my TODO box for quite some time and would love to pair up with a collaborator to get it across the finish line.

The idea is an automatic xkcd recommendation bot that takes advantage of the latest and greatest in NLP advances (a fine-tuned hugging face model). [3] I've already got the training data (reddit comments that mention "relevant xkcd") and each individual xkcd's notes from the xkcd wiki. [4, 5]

Excellent client, btw. I have an issue open regarding this, but when I tried it seems to work fine. The client autoconfigured itself. If you are having issues with em client, please PM me or comment on the issue here: https://github.com/regnull/ubikom/issues/58

Thanks for reporting the issue. You can track it here: https://github.com/regnull/ubikom/issues/54

I'm working on https://ubikom.cc, end-to-end encrypted email service based on the concept of self-sovereign identity. Basically, you keep the encryption key, and all your messages are encrypted, on the wire or at rest. The core platform is open-source, the code is available here: https://github.com/regnull/ubikom

Billions of users use GMail (or similar services). These companies are making money by selling ads, and their "free" email service is just another way to improve ad targeting. Furthermore, your account can be disabled at any time and for any reason. Sure, you can switch to Protonmail, Tutanota, etc. because they are "good" companies. But why do you have to trust to any of them? Keep your encryption key, and have communication providers move around encrypted bytes on your behalf. Store your identity on a blockchain (maybe), so that no one can take it away.

That's the idea. If you'd like to work on something like this, get in touch. lgx (at) ubikom.cc

Shameless plug time! I'm working on 100% encrypted/authenticated email based on Self-Sovereign Identity and decentralized key registry, check it out at https://github.com/regnull/ubikom
