• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you actually audit open source projects you download?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I do not, but I sleep soundly knowing there are people that do, and that FOSS lets them do it. I will read code on occasion, if I’m curious about technical solutions or whatnot, but that hardly qualifies as auditing.

  Inside of you there are two wolves. One looks like a fox with owl makeup and the other like a puck-nosed shepherd dog with strabism.

  Not to mention that the “more and better teachers” mantra should be applied all the way down to primary education.

  Unfortunately our societies prioritise these things differently.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Everyone Is Cheating Their Way Through College⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not excluding hiring good teachers and TAs from the picture. I’m not excluding paying them a good enough wage to attract talent either. But that’s another conversation.

  In my university days lectures were paired with seminars. And those had a max size of about 30, and a TA who would explain and help apply the lecture knowledge. The lecturer would visit seminars on rotation and ensure the quality of TAs. And the kicker? The whole gang would be there for the (free form) exam, including the grading.

  In short: it can be done because that’s where we come from, actually.

  And personally I hate multi choice tests, there is no opportunity to see the thought process of the student, or find and be lenient towards those that got the theory, but forgot to carry a 1 somewhere. They simplified the grading, sure, now you can have a machine do it, but thats about it.

  Here’s a novel idea, maybe it needs less students per teacher. Or more teachers per student, however you want to call it.

  Friendly reminder that there are open source password managers out there, and if there’s anything I’d rather not entrust to a corporattion, my passwords are at least in the top 5.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Jellyfin / Remote Access Help (windows)⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Lots of dynamic DNS providers allow you to register a aubdomain and update the IP it points to with an API call. You can use something like this tool for it: github.com/lopsided98/dnsupdate - just run it on a schedule on the same machine and you’re golden.

  There are also Docker container based solutions if you’d rather go that route. Once you have a stable entry point, you can decide what to do with it.

  I would personally get a Raspberry Pi and run Wireguard and Dnsupdater on it, use port forwarding in the router for Wireguard and close down everything else. Then share the Wireguard connection details with your friends and family. You can even set it up so that Wireguard connections are only granted access to your Jellyfin server, plenty of tutorials out there on how to configure firewall rules on the Wireguard machine.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Digital Fingerprinting: Google launched a new era of tracking worse than cookie banners | Tuta⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  No argument from me. But we’re talking about a byproduct of a commercial endeavour, without financial gain there would be less reason to do it in the first place.

  If nothing else, at least they make less money and I have a better experience online.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Digital Fingerprinting: Google launched a new era of tracking worse than cookie banners | Tuta⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Sure, but look at it this way. Fingerprints are benefiting the advertisers, and their purpose is to better target ads. Well I say fingerprint the hell out of everything, but I’ll make sure no ads get through. If we all do that, what’s the added value of fingerprinting then?

  Apparently the new slogan is “Vox Populi No DEI”.

  The content filtering approach to government, or, if you will, a filterocracy.
