  So, companies should be legally forced to produce DVDs?

  I will admit forcing a form factor is ill advised, but it should be possible to purchase a legal and permanent copy of said production in one form or another. Even if that is digitally, so long as it can be downloaded and doesn’t need some sort of online/phone home solution to play it.

  Whelp, skipping this one now. Thank you for bringing that up.

  My favorite is when you do “first.last+company@domain.com” and they come back saying it’s an invalid email. But “first.last+somethingelse@domain.com” works just fine. Meaning they are looking for their company name in the email and hard failing on it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Major European Payment Processor Can't Send Email to Google Workspace Users⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Self hosting email is one of the few “you likely shouldn’t self host this” things out there.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What type of computer setup would one need to run ai locally?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  It really comes down to what kind of speed you want. You can run some LLMs on older hardware “just fine” and many models without a dedicated GPU. The problem is that the time taken to generate responses gets to be crazy.

  I ran DeepSeek on an old R410 for shits and giggles a while back, and it worked. It just took multiple minutes to actually give me a complete response.

  Cool, so the thing you stated wasn’t what happened, and you’re correcting me for not fact checking your comment.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cheap or free periodical externals scans⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Auto updating can be a problem. Take a look at the CrowdStrike fiasco a couple years back.

  Empty ram is inherently wasteful.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'The Most Dejected I’ve Ever Felt:' Harassers Made Nude AI Images of Her, Then Started an OnlyFans⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I… I don’t think it’s children creating deepfake nudes of people and posting them to onlyfans.

  I do get your point that most of the time people aren’t training a model on a plethora of images, but it isn’t that difficult a thing to do. It’s more complicated than asking Grok to “take this single shot and make them naked” but it isn’t something you can’t do in under a day of research if your mind is set to it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'The Most Dejected I’ve Ever Felt:' Harassers Made Nude AI Images of Her, Then Started an OnlyFans⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not sure I get what your comment is referencing. If you feel enough data into an “ai” meant to generate lifelike images, you’re going to get a relatively close approximation of the person. Will it be exact? Absolutely not. But again, it will be enough to put your job in danger in many situations.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨'The Most Dejected I’ve Ever Felt:' Harassers Made Nude AI Images of Her, Then Started an OnlyFans⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I feel the need to point out that enough shots from enough angles in anything other than multiple layers or sweats, is going to essentially result in an “xray” effect. Yeah, it won’t know the exact hue of your nipples, or the precise single of your dangle, but it’s going to be close enough to be considered enough to end a career.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨We really need to bring back the 70s conversation pits⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Could you not just preemptively have a plan in place to cover it up? Like “okay if we are going to sell we just drop in a floor on top and pretend it wasn’t there”?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What's your opinion on Ubiquiti/Unifi gear?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’d say they offer prosumer options for sure, but they also have what I would consider enterprise offerings as well. Even a large campus can easily be run off their enterprise gear.

  In programming a semaphore is a way to handle access to a method in a multithreaded environment.

  I’m confused on how a semaphore would help, or is this a joke that I am misinterpreting?

  I hate to tell you but a VPS is just a VM in the cloud. Unless you’re paying for bare metal, at which point you are paying an arm and a leg.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ubiquiti: The U.S. Tech Enabling Russia's Drone War⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think you are vastly overestimating things here.

  I’ve purchased Ubiquiti hardware. Tens of thousands of dollars worth of shipped directly to the final destination. There was no middle man, no previous relationship, no vendor, no sales associate. I just went to their website, put in my credit card info, and gave a shipping address.

  It sounds like you’re saying that such a purchase should be put under scrutiny, but that scrutiny would be… asking me if I am a legit entity? And what, I need to provide some sort of ambiguous proof that I am not the Russian military?

  You’re jumping straight into “are they making efforts to prevent it” without even providing a real life way to do so. Sales metrics are all good and fine, but all that really tells you is that there are potentially more sales than needed. The funny thing is, these sales could be spread throughout hundreds of corporations in dozens of countries.

  Countries have been doing clandestine purchasing for decades if not centuries, you really think a good faith effort by one company would uncover what dozens of other countries can’t? You really think the US isn’t itching to figure out where those devices are getting in through? Or the EU? Or Ukraine? They have many more resources than Ubiquiti to figure this out. You think they just don’t care?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ubiquiti: The U.S. Tech Enabling Russia's Drone War⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m curious on what your solution to the Nvidia problem is? Just stop selling to the market whose sales increased? Then the next, and the next?

  Knowing where the hardware is getting in from isn’t a solution. How do they know which orders are legit, and which are meant to go to the restricted area?

  And it’s already been pointed out that the Ubiquiti hardware in question requires no activation at all. In fact I don’t believe any Ubiquiti hardware inherently needs internet, never mind activation.

  Some features may, but that’s different than requiring activation for the device to work.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Ubiquiti: The U.S. Tech Enabling Russia's Drone War⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  If they wanted to, they could massively decrease the level of shipments that reach the russians.

  I’m curious on how?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Police Told to Be ‘as Vague as Permissible’ About Why They Use Flock⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Not much within the legal window. Maybe petition for its removal.

  Unrelated, but I believe an axe and a mask usually work pretty well on most electronic devices. Driving out of town, walking back in on a non flock path, ensuring you have a “limp” as well as non descriptive/logoless clothes, and ensuring you have no devices on you, are all great general opsec tips as well.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New York Startup Builds Fridge-Sized Machine That Can Turn Air Into Gasoline⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Eh?

  You take excess green power and use it to generate gasoline. You use that gasoline in a combustion engine. Where is the extra carbon coming from which makes this non neutral?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New York Startup Builds Fridge-Sized Machine That Can Turn Air Into Gasoline⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I could see this being useful in places where day/night cycle is skewed to prolonged periods of each. Or perhaps holding excess power from summer into winter since days are so much shorter.

  But yeah, this doesn’t really seem like the best way to store grid power.
