xinayder··on Ghostty is leaving GitHub
It's not stupid to share your emotions towards a platform you've grown passionate of, especially when since Microsoft's acquisition, the platform has become enshittified, and now, vibe coded to an extent that there is not a single week where there are no issues with the platform.
xinayder··on Anthropic Joins the Blender Development Fund as Corporate Patron
I hope this doesn't mean enshittification of Blender.
xinayder··on Mozilla: Anthropic's Mythos found 271 security vulnerabilities in Firefox 150
Something something Mozilla CEO who wants Firefox to become an AI product praising an AI model seems fishy. And it's even worse when he acknowledges those 271 vulnerabilities could've been found without the model. Oh well.
xinayder··on EU Age Verification Solution
The best solution is to not have age verification. Period.
xinayder··on Anthropic's Claude Mythos isn't a sentient super-hacker, it's a sales pitch
The whole announcement is full of FUD and fearmongering. They say they can't talk about 99% of the findings, they claim one of their experiments went "public" and posted to some very obscure websites no one has heard of, but didn't disclose which websites were these...

They are saying "trust me, bro, I have a superhacker model" and proceed to show 0 evidence that it is what they are hyping.

xinayder··on Back to FreeBSD – Part 2 – Jails
Would Daemonless[0] solve this problem, or is it at least a step in the right direction?

xinayder··on Euro-Office Wants to Replace Google Docs and Microsoft Office
They could literally take their resources and spend time to improve LibreOffice and push for open data formats, supporting the TDF, but no, they listed a bunch of controversies on the software they chose and then decided to choose it anyways?

Sometimes I think the EU is ran by idiots, other times I am certain they are a bunch of idiots.

xinayder··on Axios compromised on NPM – Malicious versions drop remote access trojan
Very detailed and props to the security researchers, but the blog post has several indicators that it was written by AI, to which point I suspect their malware analysis was also done by a LLM.

I just wish it had more human interaction rather than have a GenAI spit out the blog post. It's very repetitive and includes several EM dashes.

xinayder··on FreeBSD Forums defaced
I was just installing Sylve on my mini PC and an hour later, trying to find docs on how to setup some services, found out that the forums have been defaced.
xinayder··on Sylve – Proxmox Alternative by FreeBSD
This looks promising. I might swap my Proxmox install for this.

Now we only need Sylve Community Scripts! Although creating a new jail (I guess FreeBSD alternative for LXC containers?) doesn't seem difficult.

xinayder··on Slovenia becomes first EU country to introduce fuel rationing
Er, Hungary had implemented this back in 2022/23 when the Ukraine war started. The title makes it look like it's the very first country to restrict how much fuel you can buy in one go.
xinayder··on Tell HN: Litellm 1.82.7 and 1.82.8 on PyPI are compromised
When something like this happens, do security researchers instantly contact the hosting companies to suspend or block the domains used by the attackers?
xinayder··on Tell HN: Litellm 1.82.7 and 1.82.8 on PyPI are compromised
> Remember that you are programmers and you can just program, you don't need a framework, you are already using the API of an LLM provider, don't put a hat on a hat, don't get killed for nothing.

Programming for different LLM APIs is a hassle, this library made it easy by making one single API you call, and in the backstage it handled all the different API calls you need for different LLM providers.

xinayder··on Trivy under attack again: Widespread GitHub Actions tag compromise secrets
Wasn't this discovered already last week, on Friday, that the threat actor had replaced the legit images with malware images? And republished 75 out of 76 tags?
xinayder··on Google details new 24-hour process to sideload unverified Android apps
So much hassle to enable sideloading that I just... don't want to use Android? Having to go through 5 different menus, 3 different warnings AND wait 24 hours to install F-Droid? fuck no.
xinayder··on The Age Verification Trap: Verifying age undermines everyone's data protection
Mandatory age check is not going to reduce the number of criminals online. Period.

We should focus on teaching parents how to educate their children properly, and teach children how to safely browse the internet and how to avoid common scams and pitfalls.

I played Roblox when I was a teenager and all the time my aunt told me to be careful of who I talked to online, as they could be a pedo. Even though there wasn't a constant monitoring from my parents or family, her words were repeated many times that I actually thought 5 times before sharing any kind of personal information online, back then.

xinayder··on Hetzner Prices increase 30-40%
I haven't received this email, and I have one x64 server that costs around 4 EUR/mo, and an ARM server that costs about 6 EUR/mo. I wonder if I'll still be affected by the price increase.
xinayder··on Discord distances from age verification firm after ties to Peter Thiel surface
Restricting content you access, or using that to shape what is offered to you on the internet.
xinayder··on Paragon accidentally uploaded a photo of its spyware control panel
Lots of grammar errors in some buttons, is this legit?
xinayder··on New York’s budget bill would require “blocking technology” on all 3D printers
This is ridiculous. As WIRED has shown [0], the only 3D printed part of most "3D printed" guns is the frame. You can do only so much with the frame alone. All the other parts are sourced online and much easier to get, other than getting a 3D printer and finding the frame of the gun you want to print it for.

Maybe these advocating for gun control laws for 3D printers should first advocate for stricter control on selling spare repair parts for guns and the websites selling them with no sort of background check.

xinayder··on Deutsche Telekom is throttling the internet
I think this is also relevant, after finding out Telekom, in Hungary, has the worst routes possible for some game servers:

xinayder··on EU–INC – A new pan-European legal entity
Thanks, but from a quick glance I couldn't find it on the homepage. Also, it's a Notion document, they could instead just write all of these points on their landing page?

It reveals too much that this is actually done by amateurs. Heck, even the most basic business courses I took at a European uni show that this is NOT how you want to attract potential customers or investors.

xinayder··on EU–INC – A new pan-European legal entity
Er, what exactly is this? It's not mentioned anywhere for laypeople like me. Perhaps they should focus on explaining what this project is, before asking for people to spread awareness. How can you spread awareness about something you don't even know what it is?
xinayder··on CD Projekt issue DMCA takedown notice against popular Cyberpunk VR mod
> How would they prove that he's profiting off their IP when his "mod" doesn't add content

Adding a VR mode to the game is definitely adding content. If you mean storywise, okay, I agree with you. Still, he's profiting off it in the fact that you need to pay a monthly fee to access the mod.

Even if he claims he's not, he indeed is profiting off it, because there is no way you can use the mod without paying first.

> If Valve was the developer of the VR compatibility software, CD Projekt would get crushed in court.

The difference is that Valve would have asked for permission first from CDPR if they could sell their software, or even then, work together with CDPR to have the software be implemented natively on the game. Plus, Valve has the same stance on paid mods on Steam, so it's not really a good comparison here.

xinayder··on CD Projekt issue DMCA takedown notice against popular Cyberpunk VR mod
> How is it their right to make that decision?

It's their game, it's written in the EULA, which everyone accepts blindly without reading. You have accepted the EULA before playing the game.

This is the same as the Steam Subscriber Agreement saying you CANNOT make paid mods using Valve's IP unless given permission to do so.

There's nothing wrong with CDPR going after someone who thought they'd get away by making an important mod paid-only. It's a totally different story if the $10 fee was optional.

xinayder··on Meta announces nuclear energy projects
They should focus research on thorium reactors as they are supposedly cleaner than what we have today, and afaik you can actually use the fuel waste again and again, so it drastically reduces the problem of nuclear waste and what to do with it.
xinayder··on Cloudflare CEO on the Italy fines
BunnyCDN is a good contender for the network. They can find another provider for cybersec.
xinayder··on Cloudflare CEO on the Italy fines
It wasn't, it passed on the Council of EU.
xinayder··on Cloudflare CEO on the Italy fines
The AI generated art is also disgusting. Makes the CEO look like an angry kid because his multi-billion dolar industry got a 1% income fine, which is nothing for them, for a service they provide that keeps having outages because they have bad coders who thought moving their shit code to Rust was a good idea.
xinayder··on Cloudflare CEO on the Italy fines
Italy can also buy the bluff and you know, partner with an EU company to provide them the service Cloudflare would offer "for free".
