When they have good names they get stolen.

Try took up about gemini protocol.

Yeah. Layoffs started with svb bankruptcy. They run out of free investor money and now they are extremely pressured to cut expenses. AI is just the lamest excuse for investors

It’s great for solo roleplaying.

I mean. Not great. But it’s something you can interact with in a way that’s not possible without other people. So that’s something.

It’s a fair point.

I’ve had diverse success using llm for coding.

For simple things and basic questions it has worked. For anything complex. It has been a complete failure.

But I’ve never used a paid tool, most of the time I just use self hosted LLMs. But, to be honest, I don’t think the paid tools are that much better.

But if someone knows how to use it better. And assumes responsibility for checking the code, I’m ok with it.

It’s just a tool like many others, it can be usedfor good or for bad.

You’ll probably need to study some theory on openings and endgame.

Also do puzzles to improve your tactics.

Ask it to dome some complex grafana stack configurations.

It has failed EVERY SINGLE TIME. Not a single good answer.

Generally anything niche which doesn’t have info about it only it will fail to answer correctly.

I think Pixelfed can sit nicely behind a reverse proxy, to reduce exposure.

I don’t know if there are prebuilt scenarios for pixelfed in crowdsec or fail2ban but it shouldn’t be so hard to at least write something to prevent bruteforce.

I’m in the process of building a monitoring system with grafana stack.

Right now I have monitoring panels for some common metrics and logs. I am yet to set up alerts.

The idea being that if something goes wrong some metric will grow up unexpectedly, for instance network traffic. And I would get a notification.

What I’m still considering is what would I consider abnormal behavior, so I could set up the thresholds.

What do you want to expose, something static or dynamic?

It would be a service you wrote or some stablish project?

I would recommend running whichever service you want to expose through a reverse proxy, traefik or caddy. That way you have some sort of “chocking point” where you can control what’s going and it’s already handling some security for you.

The service should be kept updated.

Then you need a ips (intrusion prevention system). Most famous are fail2ban or crowdsec. You feed the ips the service logs and the reverse proxy logs, and ban ips that try to do something strange. I use crowdsec with a bunch of scenarios and their block lists.

At the end you should only have a couple of ports open to the internet. Usually 80 and 443, and whichever port you use for the vpn, i recommend wireguard. So people should only connect to you via 80 or 443 and those ports should be binded to the reverse proxy. Everything else should never be able to enter your network.

If you have all that and keep everything updated the attack surface becomes really small. You’ll get spam bots trying to probe for vulnerabilities but if you keep everything updated they won’t find anything.

Depending on how many people you want to access your service you could also do some aggressive geoblocking, to reduce the number of bot attacks.

The biggest risk here would be a vulnerability on the reverse proxy or the service you use. Keep an eye out for cve and update things regularly. If a vulnerability allows for remote code execution, then mitigation becomes almost impossible besides a good backup plan. If your vpn fails on you you are also fucked. But wireguard is pretty well secured. Bot scans shouldn’t even be able to know you have wg because pings and connections attempts fail silently without proper authentication.

I’m sorry Dave, I’m afraid I can’t allow you to do that.

Most games do not need expensive hardware.

Last month I bought a retro handheld for 30 bucks. It can play all the existing catalogue of consoles up to PS1, and also pico8, tic-80, and small pc games via portainer.

If they don’t accept “just enter your age” in a website they are not going to accept “just enter your age” on a OS. They are going, sooner or later, to require Microsoft to check users ID to confirm OS account age.

Usually epidemic experts working in Africa for these kinds of outbreaks are not African.

The main pandemic expert in Spain, for instance, had a lot of experience in epidemics because he worked in Africa a bunch of years, including Ebola outbreaks.

I’ve been looking up used laptops lately.

I can get a lenovo carbon from 7-8 years ago with 16Gb RAM for 200€.

Does it? Theoretically it shouldn’t slow down just because high ram usage unless you are truly fulling it and RAM needs to constantly free stuff.

I’m just starting to play Subnautica. That’s how bad my backlog is. I think I will be fine.

https://github.com/oversecio/oversec

It was last updated 7 years ago.

So it’s open source but outdated.

Look up oversec.io

It basically uses android accessibility features to both encrypt and decrypt messages.

I think it is mostly because people feel more free to express those thoughts because the president of the US share those thoughts.

But they thought like that to begin with, that’s why they voted for him.

I think it’s an uncomfortable truth, but people genuinely think like that not because they have been brainwashed or because propaganda. The same our political thoughts are based their political thoughts are based too.

I think it’s important not underestimate the opponent, because then we won’t really understand why it rose to power. I think it’s a mistake thinking that baning hate speech will prevent something like Trump getting elected. I live in Europe where hate speech is mostly banned. Still the turn to the far right is growing even faster and more right than the US. People don’t say nasty things in public, political representatives don’t say those things in public. Because there’s laws against that. But people think nasty things and say them in private all the time. Because they have developed a political thinking around that. And it’s not that simple as “they became radical because a political representative said a bad thing on twitter” they developed those political thoughts the same we all developed our political thoughts.

I think it should. People should me able to say what they want. Even the most stupid or hateful things. They are thinking them anyway, it’s not like hat it’s going to disappear with a ban on hat speech. Hate speech is the expression of the hateful thinking but not the root.

Ban on hate speech would be like puting on a blind and thinking that you made the sun dissapear.
