Micr0byte<p>Hey Fediverse!</p><p>I'm micr0, creator of <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://fuzzies.wtf/@altbot" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>altbot</span></a></span>, the open-source bot that helps generate alt-text for images on the Fediverse to make content more accessible.</p><p><strong>What's New in 2.1?</strong></p><p>After successfully moving image processing to local hardware with version 2.0, I've now <strong>brought video processing capability back</strong> - but with a major privacy upgrade! Altbot can now generate descriptions for videos <strong>completely locally and privately</strong> without sending content to Google or any other third-party services.</p><p>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!</p><p>With this update:</p><ul><li>All processing happens locally with zero data retention</li><li>Complete privacy for all content</li><li>No data used for training models</li><li>Videos processed with the same privacy standards as images</li></ul><p>I'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.</p><p><strong>Thank You for Your Support!</strong></p><p>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.</p><p>The response from the community has been incredible, and it means so much to know that privacy and accessibility are values we share.</p><p><strong>What's Next for Altbot?</strong></p><p>I'm already working on exciting future developments:</p><ul><li>An Altbot API that will allow developers to integrate alt-text generation into their applications</li><li>Direct integration with Fediverse software platforms - I'm collaborating with instance developers to make accessibility a built-in feature!</li></ul><p>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.</p><p><strong>Supporting Ongoing Development & Infrastructure</strong></p><p>Altbot 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.</p><p><strong>Monthly donations</strong> would be especially helpful in sustainably supporting:</p><ul><li>Ongoing electricity costs</li><li>Time spent on development and maintenance</li><li>Future infrastructure improvements</li></ul><p>Even small recurring contributions can make a huge difference in keeping this service running reliably and allowing me to dedicate more time to improvements!</p><p><strong>Ways to Support:</strong></p><ul><li>Ko-fi (one-time or monthly): <a href="https://ko-fi.com/micr0byte" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://ko-fi.com/micr0byte</a></li><li>Ethereum: <code>0xC992E57236eb9F30E79d0469446a6CF08Be05939</code></li></ul><p>I've added the ETH option for those who prefer crypto or don't want to use PayPal!</p><p>Version 2.1 also includes various internal improvements and bug fixes that make everything run more smoothly behind the scenes.</p><p>Thanks again for your support in making the web more accessible without compromising on privacy!</p><p>Feel free to boost or reach out with questions!

Fediverse Chuck<p>And, I will add, I can see. I can see your photos. I can see a mountain, a sunset, a marmoset, whatever, please tell me *about* the photo, too. This is social media after all. Let’s be sociable, let’s tell stories, like we used to around the hearthfire into the dark nights. <br>If I like someone’s <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/altText" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>altText</span></a> I’m more likely to boost it to my followers and more people will see it.

Fediverse Chuck<p>I love when folks posting photos include <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/alttext" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>alttext</span></a>. I love it even more when they go a little extra and include descriptions beyond a bare minimum—scenic view from one mountain to another—and I hate to be a nag but I’d love it even more if folks included even a few details, like location, directional orientation, maybe even a bit about the circumstances. I like to try and do this—with spotty consistency I’m afraid—especially with my <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/silentSunday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>silentSunday</span></a> posts.</p>

Sighties who choose to spare themselves the trouble of adding <a href="https://ieji.de/tags/AltText" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AltText</span></a> to their images and who offer fake "access by AI" get blocked.</p>
Micr0byte<p><strong>📣 Announcing Altbot 2.0: The Privacy & Green Update 🔒💚</strong></p><p><strong>Exciting news!</strong> After months of development, <strong>Altbot 2.0</strong> is officially launching with major improvements to privacy, efficiency, and description quality.</p><p><strong>What's new in Altbot 2.0:</strong></p><ul><li><strong>100% local AI processing</strong> for true privacy - unlike Google Gemini which saves data for training, Altbot 2.0 retains <strong>ZERO</strong> information about you or your images using the powerful <strong>Ovis2:8B</strong> model running on my custom AltTron server equipped with an A5500 GPU and expansion capacity for two additional GPUs</li><li><strong>Full GDPR compliance</strong> with clear informed consent - I've implemented comprehensive privacy measures including transparent data handling policies, user rights protection, and minimal data collection practices that exceed GDPR requirements</li><li><strong>Better quality descriptions</strong> across all 11 supported languages thanks to a newly developed translation layer specifically optimized for local LLM models</li><li><strong>Significantly more energy efficient</strong> with a new feature that shows you exactly how much energy was used for each request! This efficiency comes from using a server-grade GPU optimized for lower power consumption, and 36% of the energy consumed is from clean sources mainly nuclear power (thanks to being based in Georgia)</li></ul><p>The only data Altbot 2.0 records:</p><ul><li>That a request happened</li><li>How long it took to complete</li><li>What type of media it was (image, video, or audio)</li><li>What language was used</li></ul><p><strong>No images, no content, no personal data saved - ever.</strong></p><p>For those who don't know, Altbot has been helping make the Fediverse more accessible by automatically generating alt-text descriptions for images. The project has grown beyond anything I imagined, now serving thousands of users across the network.</p><p><strong>Support Altbot's Future 💝</strong></p><p>To bring these privacy and efficiency improvements to life, I had to invest in a more powerful server than initially planned. The server costs exceeded my budget by around $900, which I've covered out of pocket. <em>Who woulda thought that competing with a $1.98 trillion dystopian mega corporation would be expensive? Shocking, I know.</em></p><p><strong>I've set up a Ko-fi fundraising goal</strong> to help recover these costs and support ongoing development: <a href="https://ko-fi.com/micr0byte" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Ko-fi.com/micr0byte</a></p><p>Your contributions will help ensure Altbot remains:</p><ul><li>Free for everyone</li><li>Continuously improved</li><li>Sustainably maintained</li></ul><p>Even small donations make a huge difference and motivate me to keep enhancing accessibility across the Fediverse!</p> <p>This milestone represents a commitment to ensuring accessibility doesn't come at the cost of privacy or environmental impact. I'm incredibly proud of what we've built together.</p><p>As Altbot continues to grow, I'm open to sharing more about this journey with anyone interested in accessibility, ethical AI, or Fediverse projects. </p><p>For press inquiries: inquiries@micr0.dev</p><p>Feel free to boost or reach out!</p><p><a href="https://fuzzies.wtf/tags/Accessibility" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Accessibility</span></a> <a href="https://fuzzies.wtf/tags/Fediverse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Fediverse</span></a> <a href="https://fuzzies.wtf/tags/AltText" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AltText</span></a> <a href="https://fuzzies.wtf/tags/EthicalAI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>EthicalAI</span></a> <a href="https://fuzzies.wtf/tags/OpenSource" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OpenSource</span></a> <a href="https://fuzzies.wtf/tags/Privacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Privacy</span></a> <a href="https://fuzzies.wtf/tags/Altbot" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Altbot</span></a></p>
