RIP HOMES mnemonic

HAMES just doesn’t have the same ring to it.

Oh sick! So if this goes through, precedent is set that anyone who can come up with a reason greater than “my video game leaked”, can legally broker collect harvest request data from select discord servers that can directly tie the real identity of an individual to their windows device id.

I can’t see that being abused at all.

I think the piece this part misses is with the amount of money being spent by these frontier companies, if they ever do crack the post-scarcity, let alone profitability layer, you damn well know their focus will be on recouping their losses and maximizing profits. Same as it ever was.

The mob boss you borrowed money from isn’t going to write it off because you did something altruistic, he’s going to break legs until he feels he’s been paid in full.

Idk man, I want to believe but when you look at the top contenders for cracking AGI today, I don’t think you would consider any of them benevolent.

When we live on a planet with so much food waste, yet people still starve… I don’t think we’re going to get there without complete societal upheaval, and it will be violent and hard.

Note I’m not advocating for violence, I don’t ever think that’s the answer… but it may end up being a phase we undertake. As long as there are haves and have nots, and with inequality growing… not looking too good for the optimist in me…

Just one small problem, rent your car as a taxi to whom Elon? Fucking Batman??

I think it’s more fair to say people will still comply, rather than saying nobody is against it.

It’s amazing how far most people will bend before breaking.

I’ve been enjoying Kate as my Linux alt

I’d go as far as to say it’s similar to a landlord requiring a key to access the apartment your renting from them. Sure, they probably won’t abuse that power, most don’t, but the doesn’t mean they can’t.

The bigger picture to me is it’s pretty clear then internally, Microsoft views you as a “tenant” of THEIR OS. Not a purchaser. This is why they use the words “This PC” in replace of “My PC”.

Yes, I think we can absolutely say that companies are pushing for consumers to use the cloud instead of their own hardware, but in this context, I’d say it’s more egregious showing their mindset that you’re just renting their software from them.

inb4 they name System32 to Copilot so you can’t delete it.

It’s a bit heavy for your use case and as a docker image but I use YouTrack.

I use the knowledge base to build out my notes for my environments and it can handle uploading pretty big documents (useful for attaching pdfs)

It’s a bit overwhelming and complicated for normal use but wanted to throw it out there.

This really stuck with me. “Rewrote” implies feature parity. What they really did was replace the taskbar.

Synthient wasn’t hacked, as a security company, they aggregated tons of stealer logs dumped to social media, Telegram, etc.

They found 8% of the data collected was not in the HIBP database, confirmed with some of the legitimate owners that the data was real.

They then took that research and shared it with HIBP which is the correct thing to do.

I was also thrown off by the title they gave it when I first saw it, a security company being hacked would be a terrible look. but they explain it in the article. Should probably have named it “list aggregation” or something.

Great, now there’s MSMaaS??

“let your motto be ‘eternal vigilance is the price we pay for liberty.’”

Freedom dies in the silence of the many at the hands of the few. We must always be adamant with opposition, because it’s hard to undo what has been done. The easiest way to put the genie back in the bottle is never letting it out in the first place.

Does Immich still require you to store all user photos into the same central directory?

I can’t move my family from Synology’s offering until I can be sure each users photos will be backed up to their own accessible drive.

Yes, correct. You can always locally host it as there are other benefits like unifying user credentials for all your hosted services. But its primary design is to be hosted externally.

currently I host everything locally, but I don’t like the fact that anyone visiting my domain can easily find my address.

I’m in the process of determining on if I set up Pangolin myself or not. Another huge benefit is higher availability. (ex. If my internet goes down at home, I won’t know until I try to connect, but if I have an external service and it’s monitoring that connection, it can inform me when it loses connection)

Price is certainly something to consider when weighing its value for your setup

The connection between your Pangolin service (hosted outside your network) and your LAN is through a VPN. Essentially you’re creating a proxy that you can point your domain address at which isn’t your house’s IP address. Plus then everything inside your network is still secure behind your VPN.

So you connect to Pangolin, and Pangolin routes the traffic to your network.

Does anyone know of any good resources on writing good documentation? It’s a thing I’m weirdly passionate about and absolutely want to get better at for my own sanity and for others as well if I can contribute.

But it seems like it’s a very under discussed subject…

Veronica Explains has a really good video talking about how much of a dead skill it is now from the standards it used to be.

Ohhh, so that’s why it’s called Docker!

As in “It works on my system” so they just copied and pasted the commands for you.

Gax takes your imaginary friend by taking your imagination. You can’t think of any way to use the knowledge you’ve acquired. Shame.

Note: if the above isn’t working, you may need to first set your shell to accept emacs commands:

set -o emacs
