…what?
Sincere apologies… what?
I open the article, considering there’s something actually serious, and what I see is a single issue stated:

In order to work around this, you need to percent-encode the percent sign in the IPv6 zone…

So… the single issue stated is that you must work-around normalize an URL prior making a request.

Thank you, but I am sorry, may I ask you why post such a message to everyone in the Community or Lemmy, if the button has almost always been there, right in the center of the default layout?:

I am sorry, but I believe it’s impossible For years, they don’t respond, and I still have no idea why and when I got shadow-banned myself:

It might be their automation system at the start of them trying “AI” and I got into a list by a mistake, yet no one ever cared or will care.
There were at least ~340 Euro I invested into the account at Reddit giving awards mostly, and a few NFT avatars, and for what?
I lost hope in Reddit, and won’t consider their support or anything serious from that point, unfortunately…

Once I heard the following from two Russian colleagues at works:

- Пить есть, есть нету?
- Есть есть, пить нету.

For more than a decade, I’ve been learning the language, for the art and jobs mainly, but that was quite hard to realize at the times…

…than that prompt to get the same results…

I am sorry, but I am not sure about the same results. At all.
In case of scripts, yet - your program will always work the same it is supposed to.
In LLMs? You never know. The main idea behind it is “feedback”, and each next iteration may not match the previous.

…
- Human - But I see lxc-204 was backed-up on 2026-05-19 in the logs.
- LLM - You have a sharp eye! This was my mistake, I am sorry. There’s indeed a record that it was backed-up. Now, take another look!

You have no idea what you’re talking about, since you haven’t even read my case.
Not only that, but you don’t even share the actual source - useless.
Oh! And fudge you, too, moron. Sorry, get blocked.

I am sorry, and though I appreciate Google for many miracles in my life, it seems more like:

- Google is encouraging its database developers to lean “heavily” on AI coding tools...  
+ Google is encouraging its database developers to lean “heavily” on their on-site AI coding
+ tools so that the developers got dependent on it and could not think nor operate without
+ their honored access to the LLM models Google provides for an additional fee alongside
+ the food tickets...

Of course, but the possibly LLM-generated article at 8ksec has no actual preview of even undisclosed proof-of-concept (PoC).
And the article is used as the main source at the Tom’s Hardware article, too.
Therefore, the question is, what is the main point of both the articles, if?:

1. No PoC preview is stated at all;
2. No LLM use is stated in the initial source (at 8ksec);
3. An explicit LLM use at 8ksec is mentioned in the Tom’s Hardware - Mythos by Anthropic;

In other words, it feels more like an ad for Mythos and Apple but based on absolutely no evidence at this point of time, and Mythos is mentioned at Tom’s Hardware article only.

I am sorry, but I didn’t see any actual exploit evidence, but just the ad “groundbreaking” Apple’s MIE and previous CVEs mentioned.

Nor there is any use of LLM/“AI” explicitly stated, too, except the article itself it refers to, which looks like LLM-written: 8ksec.io/mie-deep-dive-enabling-apps [web-archived]

Update (2026-05-17_13-09_0):
- In other words, it feels more like an ad for Mythos and Apple but based on absolutely no evidence at this point of time, and Mythos is mentioned at Tom’s Hardware article only.

The pass was audited more than the still freaking awesome KeePassXC mentioned (e.g. discussion#9921).
Also, no GUI is required, unless you meant keepassxc-cli.

More software supports pass out-of-the-box, including Git, Rclone, Docker etc., which you usually can change/proxy to a KeePass database handler like keepassxc-cli, but still.

Therefore, the KeePass specification is a marvel, too, especially for generally more convenient personal use, but Pass and GPG are just the enterprise/professional standard trusted by marvelous vendors (e.g. DigiCert).

keepassx2pass.py: imports KeepassX XML data
keepass2csv2pass.py: imports Keepass2 CSV data
keepass2pass.py: imports Keepass2 XML data

Just to clarify, how is it better than pass?: https://www.passwordstore.org/

The website looked as any LLM (“AI”) generated one, usually via Claude, considering the design that model frequently uses.

And it is (300,755++ lines from Claude): https://github.com/CraigVG/roman-letters-network

Here, I am sorry, but I just cannot consider it serious nor accountable, since I just cannot trust its data.

If all the information there is valid and verified, every single letter and the authors’ word after the LLM’s processing, then the “AI” may be dimmed.

Yet, I don’t believe so, knowing how unlimitedly every subjective word may change contexts, and using objectified and limited LLM for it?

There’s ?scholarly=true GET parameter mentioned in the :/CLAUDE.md, but a quick check of its behavior didn’t result in any change.

Regardless, the idea and overall intention that highlights the impact and importance of history, and presents connections between infinitely unique and miraculous people around the infinite world… where every single word carries a life moment… is ineffably magnificent…

Thank you, Craig Vander Galien, for the idea and love in history!

Modern English translations were produced using Claude (Anthropic), working from either the Latin/Greek original or an existing 19th-century English version. Translation work was guided by two internal documents: a translation guide covering late antique epistolary conventions, rhetorical register, and how to handle common formulaic phrases; and a modern voice guide specifying tone, vocabulary level, and how to avoid archaism while remaining faithful to the original.

AI-generated translations are clearly marked in the interface. They are provided for accessibility and research convenience, not as authoritative scholarly translations. The original Latin or Greek is preserved alongside every translation, and 19th-century English versions are shown where available. Corrections from domain experts are welcome.

Roger that! Thank you for being a developer and improving the ineffably magnificent world! ✨

In this case, we do relatively the same, and usually in database seeding and model factories, I believe, but personally I am more into the Laravel and Symfony, where the mentioned above PHP library is used there under the hood.

Please to stay safe!

A whole library, or a yet another ad for Python, sorry? Why not marvelous Perl, or any lovely PHP’s or a JavaScript faker?
Why a library in the first place?

In case of PHP (checked in v8.1)

echo date('Y-m-d', rand(strtotime('-90 years'), strtotime('-18 years')));
// 2007-07-30

And, I had a snippet for JavaScript (tested in the current Chrome’s EcmaScript).
We get the years in milliseconds, and substract from the current time.

console.log(new Date(Date.now() - 365*24*60*60*1000 * (18 + Math.random()*72)).toISOString().slice(0, 10));
// 1984-07-20

In shell even! Let’s use the common suit GNU coreutils (e.g. v9.4).
We have 90y - 18y = 72 years, that is 26,280 days or ~26,297 days (source)

$ date -d "-18 years -$(( RANDOM % 26297 )) days" -- '+%F';
# 1976-04-06

“You shouldn’t have to choose between open and secure.” The implementation backs that up. The friction is one-time for power users, but it’s a genuine obstacle for scammers and it makes opportunistic spyware installation meaningfully harder.

His argument: power users absorb a one-time inconvenience while vulnerable people (scam victims, children) get protected…
The pattern HN picked up immediately…

That’s the true believer pattern. The argument is ideological, so persuasion is off the table. He read the laws, decided compliance was the correct response, and went to work. Every objection the community raised went nowhere: that this enables surveillance infrastructure, that lying is trivially easy, that the laws themselves are unconstitutional overreach. He’d already accepted the law as legitimate and moved to implementation…

He hit three separate projects in one week…
He agreed entirely, writing that the approach would be “completely ineffective at preventing anyone from lying about their age.” He called it “hilariously pointless.” Then he said Arch Linux should implement it anyway because the law requires it…

The open source community has always relied on the assumption that contributors act in good faith toward user freedom. Taylor probably believes he does. The laws say collect birth dates, so he collected birth dates, and in his framing that was being helpful.

The reason to name him is the pattern. The surveillance state runs on volunteers: people who do the implementation work for free, out of genuine conviction, with no paper trail connecting them to the money that wrote the laws…

Taylor already has the resume line and knows the codebase well enough to try again. The deadline pressure only grows, the laws are real, and someone will be next. The community needs to recognize the pattern before the PR opens, not after.

Thank you! Of course, there are numerous people I did support and many other who are/were there right now. It’s priceless and radiates with good, awesome beliefs that someone got their issue solved and moved forward.

Yet, the thought that people who do not know the whole story, and just saw “banned”/“K-lined” will always remember that and do not consider/value your contribution at all, and the operators won’t even care about you anymore. Since everyone has their own beliefs and time available.

There was an operator (who’s name starts with letter K), who is an operator anymore, banned me 3 times in a row, in the #linux channel. It was in ~2020, and people remind me and share about it in another channels ruining my reputation to the point no one considers me serious. Yet, no one even asked me once, why the operator banned me in the first place. And you know why? Because they didn’t like my name! My name was “Artfaith”, and they put it to the reason of the ban itself! How is that alright? No one even thinks about it, and what they see is “banned”.

It makes sense the person is not an operator anymore, or not even joined to the channel the last I checked, but my reputation is ruined. Just 2 months ago, I was arguing with a person in channel #web regarding their questionable approach to library/dependency handling in programming, and shared my experience that would improve theirs current setup. And what you think? A person from #linux comments on my contribution out of the blue saying that I should not be trusted because I was banned multiple times. I start to arguing about it, called operators telling I get defamed, and bang, I am banned again…

I added people who troll me or ruin my presence in /ignore, but it did not help, because they start ruining my reputation behind my back, and it happened a lot, when someone highlights me in chat in a question to that ignored person, and what I see: “Oh. Yeah, they are a bad person then. I won’t listen to them, too.”

It’s more than a decade, and I neither nickname change nor discussion helped… Some channels prohibit alternative accounts like Libera’s IRC #linux, and that caused me to another trouble when I wanted to start from a blank canvas…

For another example of pure sadness that some Netop was actually waiting until I disconnect from Libera just to silently ban me, so that no one would see the “K-lined” message in their IRC clients! How sad is that…

Yes, it looks like I am 16 years old, but I am almost 40. There’s just so much I can do…

There’s much to this of course, where I tried to stay calm, I was trying to agree with these bans, re-read rules multiple times, I was careful, and nothing helped. A single mistake or even a slightest of it - ban.
I was calm, silent, shouting, screaming, sending polite, impolite, and overly lovely, and rude messages, they are just indifferent and don’t care. More to that, they just increased my ban to the year, just because I was not calm in the initial ban reason where I got K-lined from all channels, again, because I had issues in a single channel only.

This is all inhuman… this causes me dark feelings where I invested too much of time into this? Into knowing that the whole network sees me as someone I am even not? And don’t want to hear me out throwing me like biomass? Is that modern, human attitude…?
These chats helped me to stay social, too, because I am physically mute since ~2012, due to an accident, and just a few know non-verbal languages out there…

At least, my job helps where I am less social, and just try focusing on the work instead…

My gracious sakes… I so hope… no one will ever experience this… it caused me suicidal feelings, and you call that fun? I supported numerous, shared my personal experience I get normally paid for, in military and programming.

He said the game is mostly a simulation, but there are also “Easter egg components.”…

To make something like this, he said he first needed the physics of the event itself to model the landslide and the wave it generated. That information came from a paper nearly 20 people from the science community co-authored, including Lynett.

“You can’t do that with AI. You can’t do that with graphic artistry. You have to do that with modeling them the way we did when we create tsunami inundation zones. It’s the same models that we use. It’s engineering level. It’s design level physics,” he said.

From there, he said graphics artistry is needed. And then all of the scene components can be brought together to make the game playable.

Thank you… heartfelt…

And this is why it’s a sad time to live…
You no better, and hence, fck you, too, moron.

Not only that, but people changed, I believe.

I was literally banned from Communities I’ve been joined since 2007, that is Freenode , now Libera, and OFTC IRC public networks.
Netops just K-line people who raise LLM/AI issues over human effort, and even if you heat a single channel.
If you get in a trouble by protecting yourself against an LLM lover/troll in popular public channels, you get muted or banned. If you do it again, you get k-lined, regardless of how many channels you are in, and your reputation.

They won’t care about your past, your contribution amount for all the years, or that you have literally no issues and are totally supportive in other channels. They see you heat a channel, regardless the reason, they k-line you for a week/month or so, the most possible event.

I lost trust in some very known IRC network, and I now regret all the years I invested there. There are awesome, freaking marvelous people. Yet, the administrators and operators, who are friends with the netops, are ruining the whole network, and the communities like Linux, PHP, Javascript, Typescript, Networking, I wholeheartedly believe.

There’s hope there are still networks with actually Catalyst beliefs. And your years of helping people in chats, technically or psychologically, will actually stay valued throughout some few year at least… A ban for a quick heated issue? A k-line for a single channel issue with 30+ joined? This is inhuman.

In 2010 Freenode, it was the most welcoming and awesome public place to chat, find miracles, discover knowledge and stay social with people in similar subjects. Today? It’s just toxic, inadequate, and is maintained by sad people who probably, considering the age since my participation since 2007, have no children and love power, since this is where they feel themselves worthy.

I believed at least chats and forums will stay more human, where you could escape from the politics. I believed at least social networks that are not-so managed by popular vendors, will keep it more human…

IRC is centralized. If you use IRC, you must trust it. You must trust the Netops. Yet, as I mentioned, since 2007, in around 2024, I lost trust in Libera, unfortunately, since there are incredible, ingenious and awesome people…

In more legally supervized networks, like Discord/Slack/Telegram/StackOverflow chats, and systems like LinkedIn/GitHub you still may get a proper and accountable response from the administration. You still may comment on it in public and receive a fair attitude in response, and one of the reasons is that these do care about their public stance and reputation.

I donated to Libera, around 540 Euro or so, I believe, for all the years. And what? They could not care less.
Yet, I’ve been with Discord Nitro since 2017, and with all 4 cases I had there, they responded responsibly and carefully. Thank you, Discord support.

And, of course! Steam! Steam support is one of the most accountable I know, if considered the ratio popularity/responsibility, too!

If we consider IRC only here, nowadays, indeed, it’s just some people got indifferent and hateful. And especially those who have some kind of responsibility. These people, including Netops mentioned above, likely have less time to moderate and just remove people from their life.

Yes, of course, it’s normally just either lack of time of responsible people who moderate it. Or, they have personal issues like lack of children they wished but could not organize their life for it, dreams or wished tasks undone etc. And of course, the time today flies, and with so many information flying all the peoples’ lives, it’s a sure possible reason the overall moderation in non-supervized systems like IRC is just almost inhuman most of the times.

LLM/AI trends do not support them, but increase their moderation time against bots, and leave less time for actual human attitude, so they just remove actual people. block them, annihilate other from their lives. Just because it’s easier.

Yet, these, now banned, are still people, who just try to talk, discover, and stay supportive/human online. Who are not biomass to just throw away. These are people who you can talked with and find solutions together.

So, please be careful… on any network/system with lack of proper legal transparency that would protect you from power-hungry people, or just as a customer.

I am ~40, and nowadays I regret my choices choosing such venues that just dropped me as a biomass regardless my finite time participating and being supportive.

It’s not about communication or human there today, I believe…

I regret my precious life time investing in there…
