You state that you did use the install script, but also that you want to run it with docker. Did you follow the instructions in their docker repository? It’s quite easy to get it running - they included a complete docker-compose, a Caddyfile and all you need.

- Comment on He has risen 4 days ago:
Last time I did this, I put the inserted elements into new layers and put some filters to generate some noise on these new layers (w/o applying it to the original picture) until it looked somewhat convincing. You might want to experiment with several methods to generate noise and their parameters (or even combine several of them). Also it can be handy to apply these effects to new effect layers on top of the layer(s) you want to adjust and then play around how you mix them.

And a blockchain helps to solve which part of the problem? Some were working on mirroring all data to a git repository. In theory, that allows for easy access on all the data, versioning (with commits) and - through forks and merge requests - collaboration and distribution. Also git is a distributed repository that clones the whole history to your local drive.
github.com/…/mitre-cve-database
But with the announcement of the cve foundation, I don’t know whether they will really import all the data in this git repository.
- Comment on PyPi tariff 1 week ago:
I should send a PR that applies the tariffs randomly and sometimes arbitrarily changes the numbers…
I might even make it so, that it calculates an import deficit by looking at how often your libraries are imported in the codebase of the projects, that the maintainers of your dependencies have vs. the number of imports your code has from them.

IIRC the full reveal - and also why the game is titled Horizon Zero Dawn - is quite late. But I think the general theme, that those robots run on biomass is mentioned quite early, although not quite in the sense as it is portrayed in the reveal.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
In general yes, but… that game is now 8 years old, has a successor AND a remaster. So… I don’t really think this is a spoiler anymore at this point.
- Comment on Microsoft has created an AI-generated version of Quake 2 weeks ago:
I read this as they’re even generating the frames with AI:
The tech demo is part of Microsoft’s Copilot for Gaming push, and features an AI-generated replica of Quake II that is playable in a browser. The Quake II level is very basic and includes blurry enemies and interactions, and Microsoft is limiting the amount of time you can even play this tech demo
While Microsoft originally demonstrated its Muse AI model at 10fps and a 300 x 180 resolution, this latest demo runs at a playable frame rate and at a slightly higher resolution of 640 x 360. It’s still a very limited experience though, and more of hint at what might be possible in the future.
- Comment on Microsoft has created an AI-generated version of Quake 2 weeks ago:
“We’ve talked about game preservation as an activity for us, and these models and their ability to learn completely how a game plays without the necessity of the original engine running on the original hardware opens up a ton of opportunity.”
No, I don’t think that you’re talking about preservation then. Not even game emulation. You’re talking about game hallucination.
- Comment on Oracle hid serious data breach from customers, now hacker has it up for sale 3 weeks ago:
At least we’re constantly told to be ready to act to reroll secrets, etc and try to automate the change/deployment of changed passwords and such.
Depending on the system you’re working with, this may still be a PITA, but at least we do have plans for even the “problematic” systems and we have probably done this a few times. Although maybe not at this scale, tbh.
So, imagining I were tasked to do that for $hyperscaler in “my” systems… I feel some dread, as even if everything is automated ä, there’s always something that doesn’t go as planned - but at least I know what can be done in which way and which timeframe is realistic (and which parts will be the most sensitive). If you do not have plans, well… Good luck. You’ll need it.
- Comment on Oracle hid serious data breach from customers, now hacker has it up for sale 3 weeks ago:
Ok, who of you guys is working with Oracle Cloud and has not yet rerolled all API/Access Keys, passwords and so on? And what company do you happen work for? ^Just asking for a friend^
- Comment on GOG seems to be considering paid membership option 3 weeks ago:
I also got this survey and I had the same feeling. It felt more like a patron for their game preservation program with possible features like a members-only-community, interviews or documentation about the preserved games, their publishers/studios and the efforts to keep them running or some kind of loyalty rewards/discount coupons. Maybe even ‘special builds’ like ‘experience the OG version 1.0 of $game’.
There was one option, that I interpreted like ‘maybe we will put future compatibility updates after purchase (e.g. supporting Windows 12 or whatever) behind the membership’ - but that’s purely my interpretation of a single bullet point style line in that whole several page long survey

- Comment on How to configure UFW rules for podman 3 weeks ago:
I’m currently experimenting if I can convert my stack to rootless podman.
I found in my notes, that
A user-mode networking tool for unprivileged network namespaces must be installed on the machine in order for Podman to run in a rootless environment.
Podman supports two rootless networking tools: pasta (provided by passt) and slirp4netns.
Could this be your problem?

- Comment on Do I really need a firewall for my server? 4 weeks ago:
If done correctly, those may only be open from the internet, but not from the local network. While SSH may only be available from your local network - or maybe only by the fixed IP of your PC. Other services may only be reachable, when coming from the correct VLAN (assuming you did segment your home network). Maybe your server can only access the internet, but not to the home network, so that an attacker has a harder time spreading into your home network (note: that’s only really meaningful, if it’s not a software firewall on that same server…)
- Comment on Do I really need a firewall for my server? 4 weeks ago:
Instead of thinking with layers, you should use think of Swiss cheese. Each slice of cheese has some holes - think of weaknesses in the defense (or intentional holes as you need a way to connect to the target legitimately). Putting several slices back to back (in random order and orientation) means that the way to penetrate all layers is not a simple straight way, but that you need to work around each layer.

- Comment on Brother accused of locking down third-party printer ink cartridges via forced firmware updates, removing older firmware versions from support portals 1 month ago:
Exactly what I meant with
LAN != internet
Most routers allow you to set child safety settings for devices to block them from accessing the internet in specific timeframes or completely. You can still access the local network from the affected device or access that device from your local network

Why? Does the printer need to be connected to the internet at all, if not for firmware upgrades? (Note: LAN != internet)

Oh, that’s an easy one:
Just constantly stick your finger up your nose, scratch your balls, etc. Make them dirty, greasy,… You get it. If there are “better” means (e.g. food) available, use that. Then play dumb and try to use their computer as if it was a phone and try to do everything as if it had a touch screen. Smear it all over their screen. Cuss as the PC doesn’t react, try again, get visibly angry and irritated.
They’ll stop asking questions fast. Probably right after they realize what you did to the first PC.
