- Comment on If I have to get inessesent phone calls about a house I never owned because somehow my info got associated with it online, I should get the house. 1 day ago:
I’ve read people’s stories before were their number got listed somewhere and people just never stops calling even though it is the wrong number. It has never happened to me but it really sounds terrible. Sound of an block any unknown caller seems like the only option (but not so great if you are applaying for a job).

I don’t use Google, but perhapas I should? You could make a bingo game out of finding funny summaries like that one.
- Comment on I have an acquaintance that have their own "password system" that involves having a "core" set of characters, plus a few unique characters for each site; Is that system safe? 2 days ago:
From what I understand, they (hackers) try known email/password combinations at different sites because a lot of people reuse their passwords. I also find it unlikely that anyone trying hack accounts will spend any amount of time looking at individual passwords if their list is 1000+ (and we know there are leaks in the milions).
I agree that they are reasonably save unless they are targeted.

Why not? It’s not going to be cost effective to discard a usable computer, of course. But hen your phone can be hooked up to a monitor, mouse and keyboard and the phone’s internet can be used to stream the remote computer, why have a computer? Or if your phone could give you the same interface as your current computer?
I will personally most likley always own a “ordinary” computer, but I wonder if a majority of the populace will.

More like remote desktop, like your whole computer being cloud based.

I haven’t seen The Expanse, but I get it from context. I still believe that is how a lot of people will operate in when 5G is wide spread enough in the US (because that is most likely where the money to develop this will come from and hence the first target market. Or perhapas somewhere in Asia.) + 5 years to develop and sell products.
Unless I am completely wrong and some other trend comes along and the tech world takes a whole other course. 🤷

How do you know which headers to set? I couldn’t find any documentation when I last tried (but that was some years ago now).

I wonder if not computers will move away from being a physical unit and instead being a cloud service. The smartphone will be the access point for your cloud computer, and you will connect it to peripherals, just like you would a laptop today.

That one screenshot with comment ‘I thought tariff was taxes on foreign countries’, I can’t tell if that is sarcasm or not.
- Comment on Why don't these code-writing AIs just output straight up machine code? 2 weeks ago:
Looking at the tags, I only found one with the LLM tag, which I assume naught101 meant. I think people here tend to forget that there is more than one type of AI, and that they have been around for longer than ChatGPT 3.5.
- Comment on Why don't these code-writing AIs just output straight up machine code? 2 weeks ago:
The compiler is likely better at producing machine code as well, if LLMs could produce it.
- Comment on No, Steam wasn’t hacked, and your account details are safe 2 weeks ago:
store.steampowered.com/news/collection/steam?emcl…
You may have seen reports of leaks of older text messages that had previously been sent to Steam customers. We have examined the leak sample and have determined this was NOT a breach of Steam systems.
We’re still digging into the source of the leak, which is compounded by the fact that any SMS messages are unencrypted in transit, and routed through multiple providers on the way to your phone.
The leak consisted of older text messages that included one-time codes that were only valid for 15-minute time frames and the phone numbers they were sent to. The leaked data did not associate the phone numbers with a Steam account, password information, payment information or other personal data. Old text messages cannot be used to breach the security of your Steam account, and whenever a code is used to change your Steam email or password using SMS, you will receive a confirmation via email and/or Steam secure messages.
You do not need to change your passwords or phone numbers as a result of this event. It is a good reminder to treat any account security messages that you have not explicitly requested as suspicious. We recommend regularly checking your Steam account security at any time at
store.steampowered.com/account/authorizeddevices
We also recommend setting up the Steam Mobile Authenticator if you haven’t already, as it gives us the best way to send secure messages about your account and your account’s safety.
- Comment on Klarna Hiring Back Human Help After Going All-In on AI 3 weeks ago:
I do not agree with the idea that humans are being trained to act like robots. Any company with a customer service department is likely tracking the root causes of their customers’ issues. With enough data, they can identify the most common problems and their solutions. If the goal is to resolve a customer’s issue as quickly as possible (which seems like a reasonable assumption), it makes sense to guide the customer through the most common solutions first, as that will likely solve the problem.
If someone works in customer service and repeats the same script daily, it’s understandable that they may come across as robotic due to sheer boredom. A skilled customer service representative can recognize when to use the script and when to deviate. However, if a company fails to hire the right people and does not offer a fair salary, those best suited for the role are unlikely to take the job.
- Comment on After an Arizona man was shot, an AI video of him addresses his killer in court 3 weeks ago:
It appears this was a Victim impact statement.
A victim impact statement is a written or oral statement made as part of the judicial legal process, which allows crime victims the opportunity to speak during the sentencing of the convicted person or at subsequent parole hearings.
From the article (emphasizes mine):
But the use of AI for a victim impact statement appears novel, according to Maura Grossman, a professor at the University of Waterloo who has studied the applications of AI in criminal and civil cases. She added, that she did not see any major legal or ethical issues in Pelkey’s case.
"Because this is in front of a judge, not a jury, and because the video wasn’t submitted as evidence per se, its impact is more limited," she told NPR via email.

I meant to ask about Traefik vs Caddy, but you setup is genius.
- Comment on Why is everyone using Tailscale? 5 weeks ago:
I meant Traefik, sorry.
Also, why Nginx over Caddy? How does a minimal reverese proxy setup look like with Nginx?

- Comment on C4illin/ConvertX: Self-hosted online file converter that supports 1000+ formats 5 weeks ago:
My small repurposed NAS could not handle hosting everything posted here, but it would be really nice if I had the time to both set it up AND use them. I’m suprised it can even handle almost 10 apps (but I am the only user).
I also had a dream of setting up Guacamole and run Heroes of Might and Magic III turn based. But I never got it working (didn’t use docker back then) so I gave up on it.
- Comment on C4illin/ConvertX: Self-hosted online file converter that supports 1000+ formats 5 weeks ago:
It’s nice because I don’t have to install it. Now I can use it when I work, on my computer at home or when my dad calls me.
But there is also merit to using a desktop application.
- Comment on What's the point in getting married? 5 weeks ago:
Had a coworker who got married because the paperwork (or rather leak thereof) for the dad when they had kids.
For me it was a way of showing my love, a way of showing that I want to commit long term.
- Comment on I don't get the love for Nextcloud - alternative for just files? 5 weeks ago:
I haven’t used nextcloud in years, but last I read about it was to avoid AIO at all cost. There is another version and for some reason AIO was shit and not AIO was OK. Can’t remember why though.
- Comment on Fully self-hosted password manager options 5 weeks ago:
I use KeePassXC. I have to sync it myself between devices (I use pCloud, syncthing and rclone). They have an android app that works great and there is an iOS app as wellapp, Strongbox. I’ve looked at replacing it a few times but nothing gave me the customisation Keypass offers.
