i have some very old photos that i want to scan and make look decent. some of them are pixelated because they are from the 2000s whereas others are actual tintype photos from the 1880s... i use linux and am looking for a free AI driven photo editor.. anyone have any ideas?

It’s why I said maybe a local using llama and what ever does it. I haven’t researched.

That said, some ai local install still reports home. Several it from the network or research how to disable.

I know some installed in mac do. Ones I install on Linux did not. But I don’t do a network sniff longer than ask question watch for traffic.

It could however delay send. Just thought about that now.

ok, i appreciate the feedback. i'm concerned that at some point, all AI, either localized or not will be required to phone home so to speak. in my opinion, if there was ever a "mark of the beast" AI is it. i've learned alot over the last week, and frankly, i'm concerned.

Some does some don’t. The way to do it if you’re Sus, download all the installs to the Linux box. Then disconnect from the network. Then install. Look for any errors in the is talk logs.

Then firewall it off, or connect to switch and use another machine into that switch. Run wire shark and watch any calls across the network. Mind you that switch is not hooked to the internet, or your network. So set static ip’s or a router with no upstream connection.

Let me know if you have questions.
