Users Report OpenAI Repeatedly Re-Enabling Data Training Opt-Out Setting

0
·1 views

Multiple users on Hacker News have reported that OpenAI's 'allow training' setting appears to turn itself back on after being manually disabled. At least one user noted carefully recording the date they turned the setting off, only to later find it had been re-enabled without their action. The setting controls whether a user's data can be used to train OpenAI's models. Users who have opted out of data training are being advised to recheck their account settings to confirm their preference is still in effect. The issue raises concerns about user privacy controls and whether opt-out choices are being reliably honored by the platform.

Self-Hosted AI-Git-Bot Offers Code Reviews Without Per-Seat SaaS Fees

AI-Git-Bot is an open-source, self-hosted bot that automates code reviews, unit test generation, issue triage, and documentation updates directly within Git platforms like Gitea. The tool addresses two common pain points with commercial AI code review services: per-developer pricing that scales with headcount rather than value, and the requirement to send code to third-party servers. The bot runs as two Docker containers and can operate entirely on local open-weight models via Ollama, eliminating API keys and per-token billing. A 7B-class model such as qwen2.5-coder:7b runs on 8 GB of RAM without a GPU, making it viable on a low-cost VPS. The Docker image has already been pulled over 16,000 times and supports both x86 and ARM64 architectures.

Three critical settings that prevent data loss when self-hosting AnythingLLM

Self-hosting AnythingLLM via Docker is straightforward, but redeployments silently wipe all workspaces, embeddings, and user data if three key settings are misconfigured. The first involves correctly setting the STORAGE_DIR environment variable and ensuring a persistent volume is actually mounted at that path, since an unmounted path causes irreversible data loss without any warning. The second is a file permissions issue, where a fresh volume mounted to a non-root container user will block writes and trigger misleading SQLite errors, requiring either root access or a pre-boot ownership change. Third, platforms like Railway and Heroku dynamically assign ports via a $PORT variable, but AnythingLLM defaults to port 3001, causing 502 errors unless PORT is explicitly pinned to 3001. The author, who maintains a Railway deployment template for AnythingLLM, notes these fixes apply regardless of whether the app is run on Docker, Fly, Render, Coolify, or similar platforms.

Live Data Shows 77% of Austrian Truck Parking Fills Up Overnight, Stranding Drivers

EU regulation 561/2006 mandates strict driving-hour limits for truck drivers but says nothing about whether parking is actually available when rest breaks are required. Analysis of real-time occupancy data from 85 Austrian motorway truck-parking sites — polled every 60 seconds since June 2026 — shows network-wide occupancy nearly doubles from around 38% at 11:00 to over 76% by 21:00, remaining at that plateau until roughly 4:00 a.m. Critically, the load is unevenly distributed: 40 of the 86 monitored sites recorded zero free bays at least once in the past 30 days, and 33 sites were completely full at some point during the 21:00 hour alone. A typical site like Wiener Neustadt, with 40 bays, averages fewer than 6 free spaces by 20:00 and has hit zero in every evening hour between 18:00 and 23:00. Static mapping tools continue to display full site capacity regardless of actual availability, leaving dispatchers and drivers without the real-time insight needed to plan legally compliant rest stops.
