403's until you go to https://graydon2.dreamwidth.org/ first

What if they take a photo of an AI generated photo

Just make a fork and release built images via github actions with ghcr. Then ask people to switch to it.

The great thing about open src is the ability to walk away. removed features in new release? fork and put it back. quit complaining and be the change the world needs you to be

Yes! Resist the enshittoscene!

The added bonus that no one is talking about is that this is written in golang making it by default more memory safe and modern

Link has been taken down by Github since being reported.

This is sending email notifications to github users tagged by username. The link seems to just go to gitlab for now, not sure what the deal is with that.

The email bait is crypto wallet related.

RPIs have always had shit cpu performance - the initial idea for the pi was to use very low cost broadcom crap chips that no one would buy and market it for "educational" use.

They are essentially for kids to play around with learning computers by blinking LEDs and integrating with circuit boards. The idea of building a high performance cluster with pis is dumb from day one

Yeah the main branch only just added multipolygon support so it should work now https://github.com/louis-e/arnis/commit/a7a74fecdbf50bd51f32...

That's not even a costume because she's definitely a wizard

Mozilla's Anonym basically uses DRM-like blobs to track you and show ads

These practical problems make the project less feasible:

1. Making end applications implement your protocol (eg Facebook) makes it way harder to scale, simply because the enshittified big tech apps are unlikely to care. Now the apps will have to maintain a separate service and not get paid to do it.

2. Having deliberate physical couriers travel across borders are a massive risk - a hop to hop mesh network where connectivity can be easily established across all users (every user is a courier when they connect to unlimited mobile data or wifi) will make the network a lot more available

It would be more useful to build a bluetooth mesh network (like what airtags already uses) to carry small pieces of information across long distances without internet access instead of having physical couriers that need to deliberately stop and have people connect to them to store data and potentially charge a fee

It should be ubiquitous and something that just works when someone passes by

When there's no publicly known bug, someone needs to spend the time and effort to research it; when public POCs come out every skid cybercrime crew jumps on and starts exploiting it for financial gain.

It's about the barrier to entry and amount of effort to exploit something. When public information comes out about a vulnerability that can't be patched in a reasonable amount of time (due to EOL or some other reason), the bad actors have the upper hand.

Giving ransomware actors free bugs for mass exploitation when they are unlikely to be patched is just putting innocent users in harms way. It doesn't really make a dent in the shit vendors' profits, so the only other motives are 1) to show off your cool research or 2) protest ridiculous EOL deadlines (which sure, might make a difference).

Why would they do this? Knowing that any bugs found won't be patched since EOL, and will just be used for mass exploitation and harm??

Why is the cyber industry so desperately stupid for attention?

Because CTO Bryan Cantrill, who was a core contributor to illumos

Btw, DRM in this context stands for Direct Rendering Manager (man 7 drm) and not digital rights management.

Took ages to figure out, I wish people would explain acronyms more often..

Single is referred here as "not married". Single and unmarried are completely different things.

Now imagine big saas companies hiring these 'scientists' / AI engineers at a large scale, ritualistically implementing features no one needs, without considering data bias, performance and environmental impact..

welcome to 2024

Egypt now has a much bigger population than egypt then, and they are a very poor country

Larger populations get significantly harder to manage and educate.

1 programmer can do in 1 month what 9 programmers can do in 9 months

Has nothing to do with 8-bit. Deep OS level knowledge can and should be taught starting from 64 bit (where most OSs run) and maybe tiny speck of 16 bit because most BIOS still runs on 16 bit intel

It's about exposure to syscalls, C, assembly, lower level debugging and just making sure people aren't afraid to touch that layer. Same goes with other foundational knowledge like packets and networking protocols

Overcomplicated

This is some kind of Cory Doctorow dream come true

The modern equivalent of this is basically Obsidian and the "second brain" concept

Not like chatgpt, which is a random garbage spewing agent leaving it to chance

"Vivid" is the javascript definition of touching shit when it works and breaking it

Is it google summer of code or some similar event right now?

Looks like the most recent issues and PRs are just junk typo / grammar fixes

I don't. My productivity is just fine with bash
