huggingmouth··on A CC-By Open-Source TTS Model with Voice Cloning
Ideally, Mozilla would step up here given their mission statement, but they won't, probably because their CEO needs another bonus.
huggingmouth··on Direct Sockets API in Chrome 131
That changed (ahm.. will change) with ipv6. I was surprised to see that I can reach residential ipv6 lan hosts directly from the server. No firewalls, no nat. This remains true even with abusive isps that only give out /64 blocks.

That said, I agree that peer to peer will never be seemless thanks mostly to said abusive isps.

huggingmouth··on I'm blocking connections from AWS to my on-prem services
> consumers have already self-selected into ... crappy LLM outputs

Tangent, but last I checked, it was all the big tech giants pushing it down our throat. Unless it's your full time job to find loopholes and workarounds, there is no reasonable way for consumers to opt-out.

huggingmouth··on Dev reports Intel's laptop CPUs are also suffering from crashing issues
I wonder if intel can handle a recall of a cpus with this issue.

Recall or not, their handling of this issue has been sub optimal to say the least.

huggingmouth··on Google's Gemini AI caught scanning Google Drive PDF files without permission
My wake up moment with google was when they accused a parent of being a pedophile, permanently banned their accounts, reported them the police, and then doubled down when they were proven wrong.

Not only due those degenerates have the gal to creep on people, they refuse to admit wrongdoing or make their victems whole.

Sickos. That's what they are. Sickos.

huggingmouth··on Twilio confirms data breach after hackers leak 33M Authy user phone numbers
Good for you. Still doesn't answer gp's question. Why do we have to create a central account?
huggingmouth··on DJI ban passes the House and moves on to the Senate
Dji is like samsung; great hardware ruined by owner-hostile software. I will never buy either unless I can load standard open source software on them.

I can't wait for right to repair and similar laws force these delusional companies to actually hand over control of products to their rightful owners.

huggingmouth··on Parking reform legalized most of the new homes in Buffalo and Seattle (2023)
Comparativly, Netherland's weather is excellent.
huggingmouth··on Hetzner switches to new billing model
No, I'm afraid you're way off. Their response was far from efficient. I reported a fault in their interface and they wrote a whole peragraph demeaning me in a passive aggressive manner.

The workaround (to their subpar system) was a single line at the end. Very opposite from German efficiency if you ask me.

That said, I did switch newer deployments to another cloud provider who is more professional, so it really does seem that they do not care about my measly account :-)

Cheers!

huggingmouth··on Nokia is replacing Huawei at Deutsche Telekom sites in Germany
With (deserved) increased scrutiny in Huawei and friends, I'm half tempted to get the discarded gear to actually put in production use. China/Huawei is no longer in a position to pull something stupid.

Current gen functioning gear at a discount price will be very tempting.

huggingmouth··on Hetzner switches to new billing model
I sttongly disagree based in my interaction with them. They were very rude. That said, their services are reasonably priced and they have been competent throughout my time with them.

Hetzner would be far more appealing if they ever decide to muzzle their rebid support team.

huggingmouth··on Nintendo is suing the creators of Switch emulator Yuzu
Lock picking tools are legal and they're primarily used for illegal activities.

The same can be said for gun use (not ownership).

How much something is used for illegal activities should have no baring on whether it is allowed in a free country.

huggingmouth··on Stable Diffusion 3
The argument is that somebody already did it. Continuing this nonsense only harms legitimate users.
huggingmouth··on GIMP 2.99.18: The last development preview before 3.0
People use git just fine.
huggingmouth··on Stable Diffusion 3
This wouldn't be as silly a counter argument if there weren't already unrestricted models out there.

Unfortunately, this is a very silly argument. I'm so glad that people like you weren't around when they invented the personal computer.

huggingmouth··on Critical Gitlab vulnerability exposes 2FA-less users to account takeovers
Sure, but then you can't call it mfa.
huggingmouth··on Firefox Sync actually works
It's missing webnfc support which means it's not an option for our web based inventory tracking system.
huggingmouth··on Bad NEWS, Emacs
I stopped using emacs a long while ago but I rely on x11 selection buffers (middle click paste) heavily so i can relate. I'd absolutly be miffed to find a confirmation model dialog shoved between each select and paste operation AND a lack of a setting to revert to the old behavior.

I say implement the old behavior as an option. It's literally a few extra lines of code.

huggingmouth··on Kagi Search – Paywalled articles indicator and improved weather widget
Don't have'em in my country unfortunately.
huggingmouth··on Kagi Search – Paywalled articles indicator and improved weather widget
I desperately wish I could use kagi but tying my identity to my searches is an automatic nogo. Is kagi interested in offering a Mulvad-grade option where everything is in ram and NO data is tied to my account?

Kagi, if you're listening. Please.

huggingmouth··on Google calls Drive data loss "fixed," locks forum threads saying otherwise
So it's okay to screw those customers because they aren't litigious, organized, and funded?

You fucked over your customers and some of those who were harmed will be rightly furious with you. The solution here is to try and do good by them, not put your head in the sand and treat the them as a percentage!

No wonder people are no longer willing to assume good faith when having to deal with corporations. It's because of people who think like you.

huggingmouth··on Tesla turns on 10k-node Nvidia H100 Cluster
He should have hired staff that is competent with the tech stack used at his company.

Unforced rewrites are usually always a bad idea.

huggingmouth··on Debian discusses vendoring again (2021)
It's a tradeoff between stability and new features. You obviously favor features, we favor stability. It's as simple as that.
huggingmouth··on Debian discusses vendoring again (2021)
Yes, but think application services like gitlab or matrix servers. I don't recall ever installing any forign system-level package.
huggingmouth··on The Guardian Deletes Osama Bin Laden's 'Letter to America'
Unfortunatly, if you live in any large or developed country, then I'm fairly certain that they are.

Thanks to you, I now know how bad people justify killing innocent children. They don't.

huggingmouth··on Three senior researchers have resigned from OpenAI
> head of AI risk team

That's a good sign imo.

huggingmouth··on The Guardian Deletes Osama Bin Laden's 'Letter to America'
Wow.

What if it were your children, xwdv? What if your children were the ones being shot and blown up to get those "terrorists"? Would you still think that it's okay since your children "just happened to be in the way"?

No wonder those people hold you accountable.

huggingmouth··on EU CSAM/end-to-end encryption legislation secret expert list published
Leaving aside commercial companies and police who are more or less known to be malicious (no, the ends dont justify the means. you monsters), what would make accedemics support a law as destructive to democracy as this.

I bet none of them are anywhere near cryptography or computer security.

huggingmouth··on Omegle 2009-2023
Whenever a giant tree falls, many saplings get a chance to grow. Hope we see even better omegles take its place.

To op: please consider open sourcing your abuse detection tech if it doesn't give the bad guys an edge. I'd hate for bad people to abuse these new services.
