  Indeed, and IPv7 is already marked obsolete. So are IPv8 and 9 from what I can see, so we’d probably actually need to jump to IPv10, or maybe IPvA?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Had a chuckle⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Where’s IPv5?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Typing into the abyss - need a service⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  An airgapped machine is certainly going to be most robust from external attack, but even then you should probably encrypt your files to ensure privacy should you ever discard, or otherwise lose control of, the storage media.

  An encrypted partition may be sufficient, but your journal entries will still be “plain text” when it is mounted, and so you will be able to read them without extra effort. If you want to make it so that once an entry is written it is encrypted and can only be read with deliberate effort, you could use GPG encryption.

  First generate a key pair with a really strong passphrase, and store it on a USB drive. Then import just the public key onto your journaling machine and store the USB drive somewhere safe. With just the public key on your machine you can encrypt files, but you can’t decrypt them. Ideally you’ll set up your journalling tool to only write via GPG, but if not, you can just encrypt each entry after you write it.

  As to what journalling tool to use, I like VIM, although I know not everyone gets on with it. You can have it start up with a template ready to go, not write temporary files, and save via GPG so the plaintext never hits persistent storage.

  • You still have the extra bloat in memory.
  • it shows a lack of focus on core issues rather than adding “cool” features.
  • Can you actually trust that switching it off will disable it in every place they’ve incorporated it, not just now, but also in future?

  There are undoubtedly other issues too.

  The first time they rerun a storys it should be referenced as a “new olds” or “new old news”, the secon time as “old new olds”, and so on.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Haha yes society is great⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What 3rd spaces did we have decades ago that we do not now ?

  It’s not necessarily that they’re entirely gone, but there’s fewer of them, and they may not be as accessible. Off the top of my head, a few examples might be things like:

  • Public libraries
  • Social clubs/Youth clubs
  • Open spaces
  • Skate parks/outdoor gyms

  Some communities are managing to hang on to their third spaces, or even create new ones, but it seems to be very uneven.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The 49MB Web Page⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Ublock origin does a pretty solid job, I’m always mildly horrified when I have to use a browser without it. Is that really what other people see when they browse the web?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The 49MB Web Page⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Thank you for this, it makes for a nicer reading experience than their own website! Is the code open source by any chance?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do I have to? Ok, fine...⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Don’t pooh-pooh the idea unless you’ve tried it. It’s pretty cool.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think that’s only usual for entry level positions.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Ah, that frission of excitement when you come to restore! Will it work? Does it contain that very important file? Is it up to date? How much will future you hate past you if it isn’t there?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Have you tested your backups recently? Having them complete is one thing, having the data you need for recovery is another. Have you backed up your vm configurations and build scripts?

  Go test your latest backup!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New ntfy.sh v2.18.0 was written by AI⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Sure, that would be a little different, but unless you could make a convincing argument, backed up with a solid set of unit tests, at the least, as to why and how you were able to remove that much code whilst only adding a comparatively small amount, I’d still be inclined to reject it and ask for it to be broken down into smaller units.

  Now, that explaination might be something along the lines of it being dead code that is not called from anywhere, or even that it was a patched version of an upstream library, and the patch is now included in that upstream, in which case, fair enough, good work, and thanks very much. As a rewrite or refactor though, it’s too big to sensibly review and needs breaking down into separate features.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New ntfy.sh v2.18.0 was written by AI⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m assuming this is some sort of canary message to indicate that the code base has been compromised, the author can’t talk about it, and everyone should immediately stop using the service. Surely no-one would be unwise enough to commit this otherwise?

  Even ignoring the huge red LLM flag, a 25kLOC delta in a single PR should be cause for instant rejection as there’s no way to fully understand or test it, let alone in 2-3 weeks.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there a tool where I can compare multiple copies of the same file in different directories / hard drives to check if files got corrupted?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  It’ll depend on what OS you’re using. On linux you’d probably want to use sha1sum to generate a list of checksums of the files in one directory, then use it to check the other durectories and it’ll tell you if any files don’t match.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What brings you peace in your life?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Stick to places lime !upliftingnews@lemmy.world or news sites that are tailored to showing positive stories. You already know there are terrible things going on in the world, there’s no need to constantly cudgel yourself with them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨3.14ckle⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  This was a completely irrational thing to do. You’ll never hear the end of it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Political leaning⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Thats the thing, if you’re feeling lost and powerless, having someone “strong” tell you that it’s because of some other group and telling you what to do and what to think probably feels really encouraging and positive. The fact you’re even more powerless in that situation probably doesn’t even register.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I saw your face in a crowded place⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  My apologies, I should have been more explicit, I was referring to a Large Library of Material. Obviously you have a vast repository of fascinating anecdotes and analogies to draw from.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I saw your face in a crowded place⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I have a note against their user, “Absurdist”. I don’t know whether they’re using an LLM to generate these, and, to be honest, I was somewhat iritated by them at first, but I’ve come to enjoy their occasional bouts of weirdness in random threads.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I have made a Kubernetes to Docker-compose converter/devolver. It's horrible. It's glorious.⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  If you’re using this script to convert something that isn’t self-contained, you are further into the abyss than I ever ventured, and I am certain it will end terribly.

  Hmm, does this handle CRDs and operators? My setup depends quite heavily on them you see. My application manifests use services and operators defined in my core manifests. Everything works together like a finely oiled machine rotating through a few too many dimensions. I do not remember why it works. The abyss calls to me, whispering of self configuring services. The undying light calls to me, with promises of simpler systems and less madness. I hesitate, and turn towards the abyss…

  Yog Sa’rath, stay away from me.

  After witness this creation, even Yog Sa`rath is eyeing you wearily and giving you a wide berth, recognising one of their own, who has risen above the rest.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is it theoretically possible Trump and ICE are killing a very large number of immigrants (like 25% of those detained) and no one knows?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  two immediate constraints come to mind:

  • Bodies. While possible, disposing of that many bodies without anyone noticing will be really hard.

  They’re already using military cargo planes for “deportation” flights. Maybe some don’t have any live passengers, and they just dump the bodies mid-ocean. No need for mass graves, just load cargo containers onto a cargo plane and off it goes. If it lands with one or two fewer than it started with, that’s just a paperwork issue.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨No magnesium⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  However, zero milligrams is still a valid response to the doctor’s statement as they have 0mg of Mg, and an amuzing twist on OMG in the same way as 0Mg would be. Therefore the joke still works, even after we’ve examined it in detail.

  I talk to plants at parties.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you have a plan for your self-hosted data if you die?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Passwords, usernames and access keys are all important, but what about technical knowledge? If you’re the one hosting all of that, it’s presumably because you’re the most knowledgeable about that in your group. Without you, even if they have access, will they know how to keep things running, especially when things go wrong?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bazzite Linux founder releases statement asking GPD to cease using their name⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  That would be my first thought too. Pointing to the wrong discord server (rant: Please, please, DO NOT use discord for technical support, the search is lousy, it’s impossible to track single issues, especially over multiple days, and it’s too busy to monitor regularly. Use a ticketing system, or a forum. /rant) and claiming to have sent hardware all sounds like they’ve not done adaquate due diligence and think they’re working with bazzite, but are actually talking to scammers impersonating them.
