  The hierarchy of offensiveness seems weird

  I was initially of the same opinion, but actually, which of those would you be most offended to be called? I wonder if that’s the scale they’re using?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨TikTok is automatically taking down posts with the Epstein files⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s likely only showing autocomplete for commonly used works, or maybe words that are statistically likely to be next, otherwise the list would be enourmous. There is a setting to not show offensive words, disabling that make is show pedophile as an option.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is the best trategie to refresh ssh keys?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The general process would look something like:

  1. Find all of the SSH keys you want to replace.
  2. For each of thise keys, identify everywhere you use it to authenticate, and write this down! This list will form the basis of the rest of the plan. Make sure you list all of the accounts/servers you log in to, and don’t forget things like github or other external systems if you use them.

  You’ll need to perform the following steps for each SSH key you are replacing:

  1. Rename the public and private keys to something like old_id_rsa and old_id_rsa.pub (obviously use the same type name as your key, just prefix old_)
  2. In your ~/.ssh/config, add a line telling SSH to use the old key as well as the new ones: IdentityFile ~/.ssh/old_id_rsa (change the key filename as aporopriate)
  3. Check you can still log in to the servers you could log in to before. It should still be using the old key, just with a different filename, so it should still work.
  4. Generate your new SSH keys ssh-keygen -t ed25519
  5. Log in to each server and ADD the new ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub key to the authorized_keys file or equivalent mechanism. Do not remove the old public key yet.
  6. Remove the IdentityFile line from your ~/.ssh/config
  7. Check you can log in to all your systems. This will validate that your new key is working.
  8. Remove your old public key from the authorized_keys file on each server you log in to.

  Depending on your threat model you’re going to want to do this more or less often, and so you may want to consider automating it with sonething like ansible if it’ll be a regular job.

  The best documents would be birth certificates for each generation, but there was a massive fire at the Dublin records office in 1922, which destroyed a lot of genological records from before then. If you have any information about where in Ireland your great grandparents were from, you may be able to find local records however. Things like parish registers and birth records for sone denominations were stored outside Dublin, so you may be able to find them, although it’ll probably mean going there, or hireing to go there, as most of those records haven’t been digitised.

  I did notice your username, so I suspected this might not apply to you, but maybe it’ll be helpful to someone.

  All I can really offer you is ‘good luck, hang in there and this too shall pass’, which is probably not a lot of comfort.

  Not everyone will be able to move, it’s true, but a lot of countries have provisions for reclaiming citizenship if you can show that an ancestor (usually only in the last couple of generations, but not always) was a citizen.

  For instance, Ireland: if one of your parents was an Irish citizen, born on the island of Ireland, you can claim citizenship and a passport with minimal paperwork. If your parents weren’t born there, but a grandparent was, there’s more paperwork involved, but you can still get citizenship and a passport.

  Once you have a passport for an EU country, you have a lot more freedom to travel, and settle, anywhere in the EU.

  Many other countries have similar systems, so, if you do want to leave, it can be worth studying your family tree to see if there are any recent immigrants.

  I know you mean this in jest, but I’m now envisioning hoards of driverless cars roaming around joylessly hunting down artificial ‘pokemon’ to add to their owner’s collection, whilst the owners sit at home listlessly doom scrolling, waiting for their cars to return, so they can see what ‘they’ caught.

  I don’t like it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Valve dev counters calls to scrap Steam AI disclosures, says it's a "technology relying on cultural laundering, IP infringement, and slopification"⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This is definitely a good way to go; not only does it decouple the AI generated assets from the game, but in doing so lets you get a picture of how important they are to your players. It might be that everyone grabs the DLC despite it being AI generated, or it might be that a large chunk avoid it because of that. That would be useful information for your next game.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Techno feudalism, here we come⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m trying to do X in programming language Y, are there any libraries for that and can you give me an example”

  I found them to be really bad for that in my testing. They’ll happily hallucinate the existance of a library with a vaguely plausible name, spit out ‘sample’ code for it, and then when I ask for a link to the documentation, say “I’m sorry, that library doesn’t exist”. It drives me round the bend!

  • Heat a spoonful of butter in a pan.
  • Once it’s melted and just sizzling, add about a spoonful of white flour, and stir until you have a smooth paste.
  • Cook the roux until it’s slightly darker to give the sauce a richer flavour.
  • Add a spoonful of milk and stir until smooth. This is the critical step, but it works out fine unless you let it burn.
  • Keep adding milk, a spoonful or two at a time, and mixing, until the sauce is quite liquid and you’re not having to stir much.
  • Add the rest of the milk a little faster, still stiring.
  • Cook until the sauce is heated through, and bubbling.
  • Add unhealthy amounts of your prefered cheese, grated, and keep stiring.
  • Cook until the sauce starts to thicken and remove from the heat. It’ll thicken more as it cools.

  It seems like a lot of steps, but once you get the hang of it, it’s quick and reliable. The recipies that add flour to a lot if liquid have a tendency to get lumpy, this one cooks the flour in fat first and adds liquid slowly, which pretty much eliminates the issue.

  Sounds tasty. I can vouch for lemons undergoing a similar transformation. Wrap them in foil, seal it really well, and chuck them near a fire or bbq. They come out soft, sweet, and delicious.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨jotty·page - Checklists & Notes made it easy⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I like what you’ve done so far. It’s quick and simple to use. The one bugbear I’ve come across so far is it converting tables to html, rather than storing them as proper markdown.

  I read the reasoning in the documentation, and certainly for my usecases, maintaining it as markdown is more important than trying to perfectly preserve the visual formating, especially as I use multiple devices with different sized screens, so I need different fornatting on each! That’s one of markdowns main strengths, it doesn’t preserve formatting so you don’t need to think about it and it’ll be displayed in a reasonable manner anywhere.

  Is there any reasonable chance that there could be an option, at the server level rather than per page, to store tables as markdown?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Thats fair⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I would have assumed the more intelligence you have the more capacity to understand and worry about problems you would have.

  Intelligence gives you the ability to understand these things, and can also give you the understanding that worrying about the things you can’t change is of no benefit and the ability to then put those things aside so you can focus on changing the things you can improve.

  That doesn’t always come naturally, but it’s a valuable thing to practice.
