Every time i see big cats in zoos (😢), or on TV or whatever, i think “so cute!”…

If i ever saw one in real life, i would say “awwww, kitty!!! 😍” just before being mauled to death…

Some of the things in my house were set up so long ago, and running so smoothly, i havent looked at them in years (other than auto updates) now i’m afraid i’ve accidentally left some security hole without realizing it

For example, i set up cerbot 10 years ago and back then there was no DNS challenge, so i had to open my webserver to port 80 to renew… well since everything was running from https/443, i decided to block port 80

so i edited the systemctl unit for certbot to temporarily open port 80 for the renewal, and close it right after…

It was only 5 years later i realized i made a mistake and port 80 had been open for 5 years to the open internet

Probably no harm since its a public server anyway… defense in depth is the key

Finland already has very good datacenter companies, as one would expect…

I moved my VPS to a finnish company almost 10 years ago before data sovereignty was cool

Even when it gets unfucked, i will think twice

I’ve had aspirations to run the boston marathon for a long time

Yet i already decided that if i’m going to put in this kind of work to get into a world major race, i’d rather do london, berlin, tokyo, or sydney after this betrayal

Sorry

I only learned about it 3 weeks ago… trying to keep it alive

I’M DOING MY PART

imagine would would happen if this money went to the workers instead…

where do you think the money went? I imagine a lot of it went to workers salaries…

[sweating profusely] Developers! Developers! Developers! Developers! Developers!

I enabled the Xe driver last night and got almost 50% improvement on vkmark score. Not sure if that benchmark translates into real life gaming. Will have to test more

I’m not saying people should have sympathy for the farmers, but consider the real implications of wishing bankruptcy on them.

Its part of the playbook for the system to bankrupt small farmers and buy up all the land. Maybe we should not cheer that on, no matter how shitty the individual farmers are

Edit: whoops i replied to the original post instead of this thread

Why? So that some private equity assholes can buy them out for cheap and make the entire food supply chain even shittier?

Not a dentist, but isnt the root cause of a lot of our dental problems, the loss of gums and the inability of our stupid gums to heal and grow back?

No, the endgame is for all the compute power to be in the cloud, and you rent time on their servers.

Everyone will just be running thin clients at home, with subscriptions if they need to do anything more than send an email

I have teeth grinding problems and my dentist told me to either get a new (less stressful) job, or inject poison into my jaw…

Kind of on the fence about botox right now

I dont understand the purity tests we are putting artists through

AI is just a tool. It can be used correctly to assist in making a gopd product, or a lazy artist can make slop (a lazy artist will produce crap regardless AI or not)

If its wrong to use AI to make filler material, then is speedtree wrong for allowing environmental artists to take a shortcut and not have to hand craft every tree in their game world?

like, minus all the plagarism and energy use issues. If wre are speaking strictly of artistic integrity or whatever, i dont see the problem in using AI to assist artists (as opposed to outright replacing them)

someone look up how many times she’s called others traitors…

Also, it would be trivial for big tech to flood every fediverse instance with deceptive content and get us all shut down

Nobody is your friend… but at least proton isnt logging your data and selling ads into your inbox… that’s good enough for me…

Check your threat model… 90% of people arent doing direct action that needs protection from nation states… and proton isnt big enough to protect you from nation states. (pretty sure they tell you that they have to comply with legal, swiss laws)

Stop trying to scare people into going back to gmail… there will always be flaws in proton/tuta/whatever mail service…

Go try running your own email if you truly need perfect privacy and anonymity

How did this issue only manifest itself after 37 years in service? Sun radiation isnt a new phenomenon.

So these 3D printed things arent vegan?
