I’m surprised they went to trial, I assumed they’d leave him in legal limbo in Guantanamo to avoid having to prove anything.
- Comment on OpenWRT router 2 days ago:
Does this mean that it won’t be supported on OpenWRT for much longer?
No, they’re really good about supporting old routers for as long as possible. For many years the best router to use with OpenWRT was this one from 2002 - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linksys_WRT54G_series
- Comment on Help re: interactive calendar in Lemmy 2 days ago:
Not yet but I made the event JSON used during federation the same as theirs so it will be easier in future.
- Comment on Help re: interactive calendar in Lemmy 2 days ago:
PieFed has events in communities already so if you want to work on enhancing that or integration with Grancio that’s an easier route.
- Comment on Users of generative AI struggle to accurately assess their own competence 1 week ago:
I think these are the logic test questions (or similar).
Reasonably difficult!
- Comment on 1 week ago:
Yes, go ahead.
Keep the hashtags and @ bits towards the end, as you did here, and PieFed will more reliably generate the post title.

Ah, yes, the Jira folks.
I got Trello mixed up with Heroku.
- Comment on 1 week ago:
Yes, I see what you mean. Technically it works but nothing is optimized for a small screen.

Did you try Planka? It’s identical to Trello (before Salesforce bought it).
- Comment on PieFed 1.4 is released - emoji, federated stackoverflow and AI content filters 2 weeks ago:
That won’t have any effect unless the author of the Note is the same as the author of the original post. You’re welcome to try it.
The json structure used during federation does not limit the kind of access control checks we can do.
- Comment on Is there a redirector plug in 2 weeks ago:
PieFed rewrites the links to their local equivalent.
- Comment on After viral interview, Palantir launches neurodivergent fellowship 3 weeks ago:
Maybe it’s a coded way of saying “the cognitive traits of sociopaths are what will make you do exceptionally well at Palentir, apply now”.
As if that wasn’t already obvious.
Or just an elaborate cover for a guy who overdid the pre-interview coke dosage.
- Comment on How feasible would it be to host Mastodon, Pixelfed, Lemmy, Friendica, or Matrix over Tor/I2P? 3 weeks ago:
I took the question to be “could you currently host fedi servers on the dark web, without any big changes to their code” but yeah I’m sure it’s possible to make it happen, if people wanted to put in the work.
- Comment on How feasible would it be to host Mastodon, Pixelfed, Lemmy, Friendica, or Matrix over Tor/I2P? 3 weeks ago:
Not feasible.
Just use an instance that is outside USA and not using a USA hosting company? Half the fediverse uses Hetzner, for example. OVH (French) is another popular provider.

I have just added code which makes the instance vote weight visible in the UI - https://codeberg.org/rimu/pyfedi/commit/04b54e25f44f54420c247152323c90c4a3360a02
You can go to https://piefed.social/instances and check the vote weight of any instance. It’ll be very boring tho because they’re all set to “Votes are weighted at the normal level.” Yes, even lemmy.ml.
- Comment on Does Bonfire have any public instances? 4 weeks ago:
Not really anything serious.
By poking around https://bonfire.fediverse.observer/list I found two (and only two) with open sign ups that do not say “demo and testing instance":
Try:

It’s kinda amazing to me how they convinced so many people to give them money when that is all they have. I guess people want to have hope.

The story was invented so people would subscribe to his substack, which exists to promote his company.
We’re being manipulated into sharing made-up rage-bait in order to put money in his pocket.
- Comment on I Went All-In on AI. The MIT Study Is Right. 4 weeks ago:
The answer to that is literally in the first sentence of the body of the article I linked to.
Cmon, just put in a little bit of effort, please.
- Comment on I Went All-In on AI. The MIT Study Is Right. 4 weeks ago:
GPTZero is 99% accurate.
- Comment on I Went All-In on AI. The MIT Study Is Right. 4 weeks ago:
I’ve tested lots and lots of different ones. GPTZero is really good.
If you read the article again, with a critical perspective, I think it will be obvious.

- Comment on Lemmy.zip & Piefed.zip Server Update December 2025 4 weeks ago:
Any idea why the ram usage is so different between PieFed and Lemmy? e.g. Does your Lemmy graph include postgres while the PieFed one doesn’t?

lol what if you built a social media platform that has fact-checking links in the sidebar of every page, does that count?

These two new features have complete API support so I’m hoping the client apps get on board with these quicker than they have been able to in the past.

- Comment on When DeepSeek-R1 receives prompts containing topics the CCP considers politically sensitive, the likelihood of it producing code with severe security vulnerabilities increases by up to 50%. 5 weeks ago:
one possible explanation for the observed behavior could be that DeepSeek added special steps to its training pipeline that ensured its models would adhere to CCP core values. It seems unlikely that they trained their models to specifically produce insecure code. Rather, it seems plausible that the observed behavior might be an instance of emergent misalignment.4 In short, due to the potential pro-CCP training of the model, it may have unintentionally learned to associate words such as “Falun Gong” or “Uyghurs” with negative characteristics, making it produce negative responses when those words appear in its system prompt. In the present study, these negative associations may have been activated when we added these words into DeepSeek-R1’s system prompt. They caused the model to “behave negatively,” which in this instance was expressed in the form of less secure code.
