- Comment on `continuwuity` vs `tuwunel`: where to go from `conduwuit`? 8 minutes ago:
I don’t really like synapse, because it performs really bad. But at least it has a stable development. So that’s what I use.
But more and more I’m questioning if matrix is really the federated messaging platform we want. A lot of the drama and development issues of any synapse alternative seem to have their roots in how hard and unsatisfactory is trying to follow the matrix protocol which is subdued to synapse development in a weird form, apparently.
I still use it. But I’m too tired of the drama, and wondering if there’s even a chance for a long term synapse alternative, or if matrix devs are actually doing something that prevents that for ever happening.
- Comment on Does anyone else find it suspicious that there wasn't any criticism on here about Stop Killing Games until after it hit 1.4M signatures? 36 minutes ago:
People have opinions. No everyone disagreeing with one opinion or other is a paid actor.
I’m all for SKG. I signed it. And I haven’t actually seen much criticism at all here. But if someone were to disagree I won’t automatically think it’s a paid actor, probably just a person with an opinion.
- Comment on I'm setting up a Windows 11 laptop for my uncle. Is there a sneaky way to make it block right-wing bullshit websites? 17 hours ago:
While blocking would me too much. It could be nice of there would exist a fact checking browser extension that would warn if lies as thrown I don’t even know how that could work though.

Signed by a AC?
I had a lot of issues with some apps not allowing self-signed certificates and the app used their own list of allowed AC or something, I was unable to make it allow my own certificates even adding my own root certificate to Android.

Yes, local network I meant.
- Comment on Securely Expose your Homelab Services with Mutual TLS - YouTube 23 hours ago:
I tried long ago, but as they said, client side authentication is an issue, most clients do not support it.
I have a system, I use wireguard vpn and for when I want to use a domain name with proper tls (because some client apps require a proper tls connection to work) I set my caddy reverse proxy to only accept request from localhost.
So, there’s a public domain with let’s encrypt TLS, and that domain can only be properly access from local network. Then I connect using vpn to my local network and the client app can access the service over a CA verified TLS.

In Spain you can use bizum, which is a system made by Spanish banks.
The ECB have been working in the digital euro for ages, which is supposed to allow payments directly processed by the ECB. But it is taking ages…
- Comment on We need to start calling it Simulater Intelligence (SI): here's why: 5 days ago:
In the 80s people be calling a pathfinding algorithm Artificial Intelligence.
I have a whole book written in the 90s about artificial intelligence with if…else statements.
We haven’t move the goal anywhere, artificial intelligence in computer science always have been used for things that are not truly intelligent.

A tic tac toe opponent algorithm is also considered Artificial Intelligence. People never had a problem with it.

Complete different exper from myself.
I bought it and had to return it. The shape was too uncomfortable and the triggers had massive dead zones.
End up buying gamesir instead.

Does it ever work at all? even 1 in a million times seems too many to me.
I’ve only known of that working in Grindr or sites like that where thirsty population is high, and where most people are seeking for that. But in normal social media I wouldn’t expect to ever work, at all.

- Comment on My world is so much better because of immigrants 1 week ago:
I would stop normalizing the theory that immigrants are here only to do badly paid jobs.
I’ve hear too many times “without immigrants who would work in insert miserable badly paid job”.
Immigrants are not here to do the most miserable jobs without getting properly paid for it.
I think progressive forces should stop with that discourse. I find it a little dehumanizing. If you don’t want to do that shitty job I don’t know why anyone would think that a person, only because they are an immigrant, want to do it for you.

- Comment on What's the solution to QR code phishing? 1 week ago:
Browsers should probably warn if a site on which you are filling forms with personal information or payment methods have been issued with KYC or not.
Though I worry about the barrier from many people to get those certificates and then privacy concerns. It’s a balance between privacy and democracy and fighting scams.

- Comment on What's up with the sudden increase in AI slop? 2 weeks ago:
One useful usecase that’s being exploited a lot is roleplay.
Using AI to generate a bot to do a roleplay with and maybe images to add flavour. It’s something that people like to do, and that’s totally harmless.
Like, yes, the llm was trained the books of grrm without his explicit consent and now someone is roleplay a fantasy scenario with John Snow, but who cares?
It’s not like GRRM is available to be hired as a play partner, and no one is getting profit out of it, specially if people just selfhost the models. People is just having fun. And the AI is not substituting anyone. As people didn’t hire “actors” to play their roleplay sessions anyway.
- Comment on What's up with the sudden increase in AI slop? 2 weeks ago:
Many people don’t care about it. Me included, for instance.
I would give the reason why I don’t, but who doesn’t care either won’t care, and people who care I feel like they don’t really care about my personal reasons anyway, so…
But there’s that. I don’t consider things being made by AI as something terrible. If the post is fine I upvote and comment like any other post.
It’s true that the fediverse it’s still hostile towards AI conversation (this very comment have high possibilities to be drowned with downvotes) but I’m glad the general stance is changing little by little. I hope in a few years the hostility would be much more marginal, specially if the fediverse keeps growing and more people with more diverse opinions come in.

Do you have a proper robots.txt file?
Do they do weird things like invalid url, invalid post tries? Weird user agents?
Millions of times by the same ip sound much more like vulnerability proving than crawler.
- Comment on How to combat large amounts of Ai scrapers 2 weeks ago:
How do you know it’s “AI” scrappers?
I’ve have my server up before AI was a thing.
It’s totally normal to get thousands of bot hits and to get scraped.

Algo ha habido pero no tanto como pudieras imaginar. También yo siempre he hecho oidos sordos, así que igual hay más de lo que yo he visto.
Pero lo de Franco, por desgracia sí, mucha gente dice la frase típica “con Franco estábamos mejor”. Algunos lo dicen enserio, otros para molestar. Pero es preocupante. Sobre todo cuando se escucha entre los más jóvenes.

I have it on docker with two volumes, ./config and ./cache
I back up those before each update.
A bad Jellyfin update should not mess with your media folder in anyway. Though you should have backups of those aswell as a rule of thumb.
