Yeah, that’s just a redistribution of weight in our legs are good for it.
Last time it was in a country with a lot of pickpocketing I just wanted to put a little open baggie of automotive grease in my breast pocket. I was bump checked three times in Paris in one block.

There’s the story but there’s not much tea.
I’m guessing there were just enough complaints and Hetzner refused to take anything down.
Really bizarre to license people self-hosting software and then refuse them from hosting it in certain places over what content they choose to put up.
I wonder if they’ll just roll through all the VPS now.
- Comment on Plex server patching required 28 minutes ago:
Yeah, as long as you have a decently supported client the entire platform is very serviceable. I do wish they would get rid of the unprotected endpoints and officially support 2FA on the server and clients.
For all their anti-consumer practices Plex does at least take their security very seriously.

Sounds to me like they need to charge the AI data centers enough to cover the bill instead of making me pay it.
- Comment on Finland | Minister: "Burkas and niqabs are not suitable for school" 1 day ago:
He, and the original post are talking about banning it in Finland. You’re moving the goalpost by quoting it’s law in a single country.
You’re the one arguing in bad faith.
- Comment on Finland | Minister: "Burkas and niqabs are not suitable for school" 1 day ago:
then we’re so far apart on this that there’s nothing to discuss You’re wrong and you’re projecting, You can’t imagine wanting to do it, so you’re sure it can’t be that way.
“While the niqab is a commendable act in Islam, it is not obligatory for Muslim women. The majority of scholars agree that covering the face and hands is not required, as supported by Quranic verses and Hadiths. A Muslim woman fulfills her religious obligations by adhering to the conditions of the hijab, making the niqab a matter of personal choice rather than a strict religious duty.”
Sure, many are in families that push them to do it, but in the end it’s not like they’re not allowed not to by the religion.

Daycare is kind of intense.
You have a bunch of parents who would rather be with their kids. They’re paying close to their own mortgage/rent to have their kids watched. They’re convinced that the teens/young adults the daycare hires are not doing anything. Their kids are there with a load of other kids, pick up bad habits, get bullied and yelled at by kids in worse home situations. As soon any any scratch or scrape happens they want to know know for those prices.
The timesheets give them solace that their kid is being watched, fed, changed, and taken care of emotionally.
it’s not necessary, but it’s not hard to see why it happens

Good people spend way too much time worrying about being embarrassed.
Take it, show up clean, well dressed, wearing just a hint of something that smells good.
Do something fun and engaging. This isn’t a girlfriend, this isn’t a perspective girlfriend, this is you, going out to do something fun. Your goal is to have a shared fun experience with the other person. If it turns into more, Great. If it doesn’t turn into more you had fun.
Your primary goal is to not make a bad impression everything else is left to the wind.

Yeah that whole desert racists/breaking bad/vegas section is more of a venn diagram.
- Comment on My new laptop chip has an 'AI' processor in it, and it's a complete waste of space 3 days ago:
I’m not exactly an expert either but I believe the NPUs were seeing in the wild here are more like efficiency cores for AI.
Using the GPU would be faster, but have much larger energy consumption. They’re basically mathco processors that are good at matrix calculations.

IP addresses are not something that can be pulled from just any instance.
That’s what I thought about votes too. I’d be very happy to know that you can’t access ips the same way you can votes on other nodes by simply being an admin on a given node. Honestly, I never would have guessed lemvotes could exist.

ohh, so you can’t put train a small compendium everything a person wrote then infer things about that person based on their life. Good to know.
I’ve been dealing with IP’s for about 30 year now, also good to know.

Just tested your post here, your instance def opted out.

It would be unusual to be able to exactly identify someone purely from their IP, but let’s say someone posted from their work IP in a small company. It would substantially lower the bar to dox them.
Let’s go further and ponder if an authoritarian regime setup an admin and started coorelating dissent ip’s collected from user when they did things like paying parking fines, or signing their online tax forms.
Let’s say that they collected all that and trained an LLM on it, then when you go to get a passport renewed or are stopped for a traffic violation and ask the LLM if you’re a dangerous person based on their criteria.
It’s not a direct problem, but it has slippery slope all over it.
- Comment on Lemmy be like 4 days ago:
You can try, and you should try. But some handful of generations ago, some assholes were in the right place at the right time and struck it rich. The ones that figured out generational wealth ended up with a disproportionate amount of power. The formula to use money to make more money was handed down, coddled, and protected to keep the rich and powerful in power. Even 100 Luigi’s wouldn’t even make the tiniest dent in the oligarch pyramid as others will just swoop in and consume their part.
Any lifelong pursuit you have to make the world a better place than you were raised in will be wiped out with a scribble of black Sharpie on Ministry of Truth letterhead.

They soured me a little when they forked redhat and made me go to fedora on the desktop, shame on me.
They right fucked me when they privatized Centos.
Truth is they’re fine, but I hate them all the same now, they cost me months of work.
- Comment on Turn linux server into a router? 5 days ago:
Personally, I’ve always been a big fan of running the firewall/router/DNS separate of everything else. It’s harder to accidentally make a security blunder and doing regular system maintenance on your hosting server won’t knock out internet to the rest of the house.

- Comment on Water Snek 1 week ago:
Apparently trying to swim the straight line would mean you have to swim against the added friction of the water.
Snake line has far less friction. The energy being used to move you north and south is simply impartedto you by the environment, and while it doesn’t actually make you go any faster from your source to your target trying to fight it would be a significant amount of work.
- Comment on If CEOs think they can replace everyone with AI, why do they think Wall St. will need CEOs? 1 week ago:
Because they’re not just CEOs, they’re extremely wealthy CEOs with portfolios with deep investments in AI.

So, given that the line is the tides? currents? If they adjusted their swimming angle to make the GPS line straight, I wonder if it would affect their time or energy expended. I think it wouldn’t but whatcha think?
- Comment on hehe 👉👈 1 week ago:
We used to bake mud pies on the transformer just like that in the summer heat at the apartments where I lived decades ago. We had no toys, so we were making due. Parents game out to yell at us to get away from it. But we never would stop. Eventually one of the fathers came out to make sure it was locked and safe and just let us carry on.

- Comment on What's up, selfhosters? It's self hosting Sunday! 1 week ago:
Those models already exist. It’s one of the things that everybody’s worried about trying to stop.
With the amount of companies out there willing to fund stopping it I’m surprised somebody hasn’t stepped up to spend a few million dollars to train one specifically to catch people and make it available.
Turns out making money off of it is more important I guess.
