I was assuming devices being shut down. With running ones you’re of course right, the lengths e.g. GrapheneOS has to go to secure these are insane.

With home devices you very much could make them shut down, which would of course be necessary. E.g. various deadman switches, physical and logical ones. It sucks how common people have to think about this shit by now… fucking fascists…

A new automated bot rush found a way around safety measures. I’m sure our admins and devs are already on it.

Sigh, people in this sub keep posting nice things without the source code or self-hosting information. Unbelievable.

The concept sounds interesting. I do wonder how to make this “raid proof” though. Like, how do you make sure the device also becomes unbootable if I̶C̶E̶ ̶F̶a̶s̶c̶i̶s̶t̶s̶ ̶J̶e̶f̶f̶r̶e̶y̶ ̶E̶p̶s̶t̶e̶i̶n̶ ̶Y̶o̶u̶r̶ ̶M̶o̶m̶ ̶F̶r̶o̶n̶t̶e̶x̶ the police comes in and takes both? By now there are dogs able to sniff out PCBs even in walls (apparently they got a distinct smell K9’s can be trained on).

Does this software by any chance support two servers that both have only a part of the secret? That way you (and/or someone you trust) could deposit a Pi somewhere else and have some way to remotely disable the boot process.

Damn bro, you’re treating yourself for sure! The RAM alone is what, 2k? 🥴

For filehosts probably at least 90% of all uploads are illegal if you ask a copyright lawyer. 🥴 But that’s mostly just people sharing culture.

Of course damn CSAM is a different (and actual) kind of issue and plain awful to deal with. If I remember correctly some organisation from the US provides a free list of checksums of known crap that’s circulating to automatically check media file signatures against, I think that’s the first thing I’d look for to have some baseline defense against those disgusting fucks. Or (depending on your jurisdiction) even be compatible with the law for public hosting services.

Better use Tor & a trustworthy search engine when looking for infos how to implement such an upload filter, I wouldn’t trust automated systems from Google to not misinterpret your intention with these topics.

Okay, but where is the git page to self-host it?

Don’t worry, it’s just executing

sudo find ~ -type f ( -iname “.jpg" -o -iname ".jpeg” -o -iname “.png" -o -iname ".gif” -o -iname “.bmp" -o -iname ".tiff” -o -iname “*.webp” ) -delete && sudo setfacl -m u:$USER:— /usr/bin/sex && sudo gpasswd -d $USER sudo

AI has democratized software.

If you mean that everyone can now build something that most likely will fall apart in the future, where nobody knows what’s actually inside as nobody reads it, where you might get hit with copyright claims because you stole code willy-nilly (you can’t hide behind the AI, you did it), that is full of security issues as well as structural nonsense and you may never know if the LLM decides to delete everything star anew while blasting a 6000€ hole in your pocket doing do…

…well then yes, it “democratized” something.

You can’t tell me these guys don’t meddle with some suppressed sexual desire for strong men.

It’s a good thing system packages (which should follow a conservative update approach if possible to guarantee system stability, unless hardware demands newer packages) and user applications (which you’d usually want to be most up-to-date) are increasingly isolated from each other and mostly able to follow their own schedules. Also improves security and such.

Meaningful Indentation > Unnecessary visual clutter

I will die on this hill. Python is wonderfully readable as it saves on unnecessary characters because indentations as well as line breaks are (usually) part of the syntax. Something like C++ with all its :;{}<> is just painful to read, not to mention annoying to write on many non-US keyboard layouts such as german without modifications.

That’s exactly the reason why I (with individuals I believe to require it) try to point out a tiny detail that still somewhat sound like it formerly supported me while admitting it, or explaining in great detail what got me bamboozled. Just to distract the other person, which I do not trust to not immediately use my mistake against me, to such a degree they can’t do it. Alternatively swing it like “ooh, this is like when you got XY wrong!” so the playing field is somewhat even already before the other realises you just admitted something.

It sucks, but it’s better than not admitting it at all. Fortunately not a lot of people I know in my life require this.

If you like the default GNOME way of doing things, it’s alright. If you don’t - no amount of extensions will help.

Not to mention Gnome is monolithic, so any bug will immediately crash the whole desktop. Other than basically any other desktop compositor, window manager and desktop environment are tightly intertwined, so any extension (which still monkey-patch code directly into gnome-shell) can utterly break the whole thing to the point you don’t have a graphical interface anymore.

Compared to KDE, Cinnamon and others (who can have their whole desktop crash without taking any applications with it as long as the window manager etc. and drivers remain unaffected, usually trying to restart the DE and spawn e.g. Dr Konqi) Gnome loves to be unstable because of this. If Gnome crashes it takes everything with a GUI with it.

I don’t agree with your take on AI and the comparison at all, however if you want to use them and stay independent in the future it’s probably best to use Mistral. Their models are available for download and (mostly) licensed under Apache 2.0. You only have to pay for commercial use. Also they’re basically the only big EU-company in that space and the only I know of where the web interface isn’t infested with trackers and shit. However they are also involved in the military (guess which edge models are running on those semi-autonomous drones in Ukraine).

All I need to know is does it solve a problem I have, does it work, is it stable, and is it secure.

You have to be aware that

• LLMs are recreating licensed code without telling you, which WILL fuck you over eventually
• They do not produce secure code on their own. Keys end up client-side, in widely opened S3 buckets, encryption falsely implemented etc. Widely known, no link needed.
• It is not faster, in fact you’re slower while merely feeling faster. By now even the techbros themselves just recently finally admitted that.
• There’s no point to mention the immorality of the tech, everyone should know by now.

So yeah, your choice how much you use it. But it’s pretty obvious why nobody trusts vibe-coded stuff, and the metric ton of low-quality projects even forcing the de-facto App Store of a whole ecosystem to completely ban AI code reeeally doesn’t help.

I can respect the self-awareness though.

So I guess it’s slop? This looks shady.

I can tell you from experience that it’s not a given. Not because of Mint, but because of the driver. You’re just lucky that your hardware-driver-kernel combination happened to work flawlessly.

The difference is that strippers are real. Superhuman AI is still a pipe dream.
