  There are people vibing on fiends couches going from person to person. They they don’t look like that.

  I’d be pretty surprised if you couldn’t waydroid something decent without googleing up. Certainly moon reader or something should run without the store?

  Tip, when you’re done having it do your project, restart the chat, tell it that it’s a security engineer and ask it to check for any vulnerabilities or anything that should be done to protect the site against malicious activities. Ask it if there’s anything with your hosting or site that should be addressed.

  Most of the training data out there is on how to get a task done and the best way to do the task, there’s a lot less training on completing a project with security in mind. There is however a lot of data on specifically how to secure already written code so it can do it, but it generally will not unless you ask it to.

  no no, fun through though. More that power companies always go up and to the right. They’re the hallmark of safe investment.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨crypto investment⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  think it is. A boring, S&P 500 index fund investment was also about $4000 at the time

  The problem with that index fund is it’s slowly going up and to the right, more or less.

  That Etherium is going from < 1500 to > 3800 every 4-6 months.

  Hands off, long term investing funds are good where it’s at if we don’t crash the economy, but there is some cash to be made in crypto if you have spare change lying around.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨crypto investment⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  Wait three months?

  Prob not going past 4k anytime soon though so maybe sell at 3800 and put it into a utility company?

  It’s an interesting tool.

  It can shave hours off of experienced programmers work if they use it in the right scenarios. You can use it in places where you need to do something that’s mundane but fiddly. It’s suboptimal for crapping out a large project, But it’s super effective at generating a single function or module to do a task. It might even come up with a better idea than you would use for some things. The key is if it does something that’s not quite right or not the best idea You need to be able to read it to understand that it’s going a little off the rails.

  If you’re a spreadsheet junkie, It’s capable of writing really really complicated rules without getting lost in the minutia.

  For non-developers that don’t know anything it’s a dicer proposition. After a couple thousand lines of code You might start running into interesting problems. When it starts having to go and do problem solving mode, and you’re just feeding it back The errors and asking it to fix the problem You can get bogged down pretty quickly.

  For DevOps it’s the diggity bomb. Practically everything in that profession is either a one-off quick emergency script or a well thought out plan of templates.

  Here are my five Amazon accounts give me a shell script that goes into every account in every availability zone, enumerate every security group and give me a tool to add remove or replace a given IP with a description and port based on the existence of other IPs descriptions or ports. Or write me an ansible script to install zabix monitoring playbooks with these templates.

  Considering Ozzy was a drug-fueled rockstar for decades who bit the head off a live bat and Hogan was marginally fit for all those years give or take some roids, I think Ozzy deserves at least several years of handicap.

• ⁨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?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  There are a handful of concerns from insiders are that somewhat valid, more or less things to be careful about when trying to sort out how to make this fair and reasonable to both sides.

  You can ponder how long from shutdown of an online server until the companies IP is no longer worth anything because they have to give up keys to playing it without subs. Same goes for anti-piracy. If A goes under and is bought up by B, how long is that timer before the assets aren’t worth anything anymore.

  But all those concepts get thrown the hell out the window when CEOS stick their fingers in their ears and start stamping their feet and shouting “nothing is written in stone” “at some point the service may be discontinued” “Nothing is eternal” when in fact all those problems can be solved. Fucking tone-deaf asshats. Costs you money, sorry nothing is eternal. Costs them money, ohhh noooo can’t do that it might cost money.

  When you launch a title with online requirements, you have to escrow or insure the servers for X months and escrow code. When you sell or fold, you then have X months to work out a new buyer or maintainer. At the end of X months. you either keep the game online through other means (sales) or provide server binaries, serverless binaries, or details/code to keep the game running indefinitely.

  It’s getting him views.

  Also, I would not have read his text. The slightly strung out look is working, it got you to comment :)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The industry filed false claims against the "Stop Killing Games" initiative | Accursed Farms⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  The anonymous complaint system aids whistleblowers.

  But it also means that the complaints can come from less than reputable sources.

  The upshot of this is that the complaint doesn’t get as much traction and is vetted more closely.

  This complaint amounts to the condiment on a nothingburger.

  Trying to stop the petition based on a technicality that someone is working too hard seems a bit unhinged. Anyone that stands to be hurt enough by the movement would have had lawyers on retainer to handle things like this.

  It’s also possible that someone supporting the movement used it as a false flag to get more attention, but there’s 1.4+ million eyes on it. I don’t see that being an advantageous path either.

  Either way, the complaint is bunk and will end up being ignored with a moment’s scrutiny.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨set up local DNS using Pi-hole + nginx + audiobookshelf⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Start a console on NPM. See if you can curl or wget the target.

  Start with IPs and ports. Then move to DNS.

  NPM’s configuration never felt terribly comfortable to me.

  Another common problem is to unintentionally set your container up where URLs require SSL. When you hit the container page the URL call backs can end up with HTTPS.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why democrats under Biden administration didn't release Epstein files?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Because the files vaguely implicate a lot of influential oligarchs who donate to both sides.

  We know Trump hung out with Epstein, there are pictures and testimony. It simply doesn’t move the needle away from the right. He’s just buying trouble.

  gdamn thing should have been in the public from day one.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨NixOS and/or TrueNAS - What are your experiences?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I run Nix on my primary box and my travel laptop. I was intimately familiar with Linux before my first NixOS install.

  You’ll get the primary install up pretty quickly. If you have trouble with the nix.configuration, 9 out of 10 times chatGPT can can get you more or less what you’re looking for in documentation. It’s probably the single shining positive use of LLMs.

  Adding things to the config once you know what you’re trying to add and where you’re trying to add it is not difficult at all. Sometimes documentation will tell you to use certain commands that don’t seem to be available It’s usually that you’re missing a include which are somewhat cagey.

  All that said, other than partial immutability, I don’t know that you’re going to reap any true benefit from nix other than the challenge. It’s a nas, so you’re not going to be moving it between different hardware. The data itself isn’t immutable or protected or backed up in any way specific. I fear you’d just be fighting nix to support, manage and maintain RAID or ZFS.

  Another pretty serious complication that Nix throws at you is major updates. Individual nix channel and home manager rebuilds aren’t too bad, But when you need to run that 25.11 update You’ve got a pretty good chance at breaking your system. And it’s not like they continue to run the older updates forever, they EOL those previous versions pretty quickly. That’s actually one of the things keeping me from running it on more serverses they lack of a true LTS. A new major stable comes out every 6 months and you have one month after it comes out before the old version is EOL

  For my laptop and desktop that’s no big deal. But not so much for servers that I don’t want to dick with all the time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why doesn't Trump destroy or modify the Epstein files?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  He’s already trying to say they never existed. But then you have his team mentioning it’s on her desk on live TV.

  We have pictures of him hanging out. There are flight logs putting them in places. There is damning testimony in the public sphere right now implicating him. It doesn’t seem to be enough.

  His name being in a little black book is not going to be enough. Honestly, anything short of a video of him doing unspeakable things first person is probably not going to be enough to change anyone’s mind.

  CEOs seem to be particularly susceptible to AI marketing.

  I’m kind of in the crux of four decent sized companies and every CEO I see is going gaga over AI.

  It’s somewhere in between if you don’t embrace this technology you’ll be left behind and you can Make your workforce many times faster with this one stupid.

  I’m not sure that this line’s up the same way that the tech bubble did back in the day. Right now, they’re firing people by the metric ass tons because AI can make existing people more agile at their jobs.

  The collapse of AI might be more like the collapse of the horseless carriage. Do people come back and fill in for all the chatbots now?

  2. If you turn around (going against the circle), does it go up in time?

  3. Why did it stop at 74? Why not infinity or 99? I can plot 79 hours from Key West Florida to Anchorage Alaska

  What a neat bug.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Linux Reaches 5% Desktop Market Share In USA⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  better than Linux ever was before

  I did Linux on the desktop for 15 years. I was primarily Windows at home, Linux at work. With a job change, I took a detour through Mac for a couple of years, then WSL hit, and I ran Windows for quite a while.

  I dropped back in, but only at home when Bookworm landed. I was playing Steam games with video acceleration right out of the gate. For a lot of people, it’s just going to work right out of the gate, and updates are just going to work. Now that a lot of shit’s going Electron, a lot of apps that had an edge in windows are now identical through their web interfaces.

  If you’re not playing games with a lot of anti-cheat, using proprietary hardware or don’t need access to some windows-only apps (or you can put up with Wine), all the distros are up to the point where they operate just as you’d expect them to.

  expert IT is in good shape it’s entry level that’s hard to break into.

  IT/DevOPS geeks (and some developers) are a special case. You spend all your free time ADHD home-labbing new tech and end up bringing that to work.

  It’s kind of backward of most other work :)
